Among the huge variety of martial arts, there are several types that are rightfully considered one of the most dangerous. This post will introduce you to such martial arts.
Jeet Kune Do
The combat system developed by Bruce Lee is a complex hybrid of techniques united by one goal - to inflict maximum damage on the enemy as quickly as possible. It was Bruce Lee's street answer to all the tinsel he thought was adorned in China's ancient martial arts.
Bokator
In Southeast Asia, men learned fighting techniques from animals - there are a great many of them there. It is not surprising that the fighting styles also copy the manners of animals and birds - there are techniques of a snake, horse, eagle and others. However, the most deadly is the "lion fight", or "bokator". The technique is intended primarily for fierce battles - elbows, knees, throws and other techniques aimed at the fastest possible neutralization of the enemy.
Aikido
Aikido technique is the accumulated ancient teachings of the East. Aikido is based on the science of Qi - the management of earthly and human energies in their endless harmonic whirlpool of Yin and Yang. Merging with an opponent's attack, redirecting energy and painful grips, which can be carried out even by an opponent who is inferior to another in weight - all this makes aikido a dangerous weapon in the hands of a professional. Fortunately, aikido adepts rarely give vent to anger or aggression - they simply do not arise in them due to spiritual enlightenment.
capoeira
Although today capoeira is more of a dance, in the past the art was the main street weapon in the Brazilian ghettos. Initially, capoeira arose as a method of fighting fugitive slaves with human hunters - they managed to develop the technique to such heights that it became a truly deadly weapon and was banned by law. However, in a form disguised as a dance, the deadly martial art lives on to this day.
kajukenbo
Karate and Chinese boxing are the two components from which, in the 1940s, an art designed for street warfare was born in Hawaii. locals defended with his help from street gangs and violent sailors.
Sambo
Self-defense without weapons is a complex system that combines striking and wrestling techniques. Martial art appeared in the Red Army in the 1920s as a versatile and simple fighting technique. In Sambo, all types of punches, kicks, elbows, knees, chokeholds and throws are allowed.
Bojuka
As in other non-combat sports, this hybrid fighting technique does not focus on sports interest, but is aimed at defeating the opponent as quickly as possible. Created in the 1990s by Tom Schenka and used to train bodyguards.
GRU spetsnaz system
Techniques are trained by the military, undergoing training in detachments special purpose. Experts say that this art has no analogues in the world - only Israeli Krav Maga approaches the System in terms of efficiency and speed.
Jujutsu
Extremely tough and effective fight jiu-jitsu today exists as a sports discipline, but the art began primarily with street fights, in which all means were used.
Muay Thai
Muay Thai is sometimes called the "Art of Eight Limbs" - this says a lot about the technique, in which elbows and knees are used. Not surprisingly, Muay Thai is one of the most merciless martial arts in the world and deservedly so.
If you don’t feel too confident when seeing a girl off in the evenings, and the last fight ended for you already in the eighth second, it’s time to change something in this life.
For example, stop downloading gym useless in close combat calf muscles and do something a little more serious.
In just 6-18 months, learn to fight well according to everyone's strength. Here are five of the most effective self-defense systems:
#5: Kyokushinkai Karate
This most spectacular kind of karate was invented 60 years ago by the legendary Masutatsu Oyama. They say that he was simply tired of watching how the ancient martial art degenerated and became less and less contact. As a result, already in the 1960s, the brainchild of Oyama was called nothing more than “karate for millions”.
If you choose kyokushinkai, then after one and half year you will be able to pass the exam for the 6th kyu - student "rank" with a yellow belt. And this means that you can deal with one or two lovers of "light" in the gateway without a lighter.
#4: Kickboxing
Legend has it that the term "kickboxing" was coined in the early 1970s by Chuck Norris. Like it or not, this fusion of boxing and oriental martial arts has become very popular all over the world. No dans, kyu and other tameshiwari. Instead, a fight familiar to the Slavic soul, where blows are delivered with full force - with legs and arms. In a word, everything you need to stand up for yourself if something happens.
Of course, it is much easier to advance in kickboxing if you have passed the technical educational program in boxing or taekwondo. But after a year and a half classes "from scratch" you will feel that you are worth something in this world.
#3: Jiu-Jitsu
This martial arts veteran is over 400 years old. But if earlier this samurai training complex taught how to not only break the enemy, but also send him to the other world as soon as possible, today it is just self-defense for everyone.
Unlike karate, in jiu-jitsu the emphasis is not on punches and blocks, but on creases, chokes, painful holds and throws. No wonder the methods of this system were studied even by policemen of tsarist Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. To master jiu-jitsu at a level sufficient for self-defense, you have enough 8-10 months.
#2: The Kadochnikov System
The “youngest” self-defense system was born in the restless head of the head of the laboratory of the Krasnodar Military School Alexei Kadochnikov in 1983. Despite the fact that they are engaged in it in special forces, it is available to everyone - from a teenager to a housewife.
The only negative: to find out how "it" works, you need not so much to have good hit with both hands, how much to know physics, psychology and anatomy. Kadochnikov himself did not show tricks, but explained the physical laws or principles underlying them. Therefore, if you manage to find an instructor savvy in the sciences, already in 7-8 months training, you will tear black belts like napkins.
#1: Krav Magá
A unique school of contact combat, which is "professed" in the Israeli army, police and special forces. It has nothing to do with competitions, sparring, medals and any philosophy. And therefore it is considered the most effective and useful martial art in real life.
Krav Maga was developed in the 1930s by Imi Lichtenfeld, who in this way decided to teach skinny Slovak Jews to fend off attacks by muscular stormtroopers.
In this Israeli "struggle" everything is logical and thought out. The emphasis is on countering an armed attack. And even to the smallest detail, defense is worked out with improvised means (from a pencil to a diplomat) and a group fight.
The main thing in Krav Maga is to understand the reflexes, both your own and the opponent's. If you are mobilized, it is realistic to complete the course and become invincible in just 6 months.
So, your attention is presented to the author's TOP-10 rating of martial arts for self-defense. A little about myself: the total experience of martial arts is about 10 years. Among them: kickboxing, muay thai, RB, jujitsu. I have a fairly close experience of close communication with representatives of various martial arts both in full-contact competitions and on the street. Based on this PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I made the corresponding rating.
I can definitely say one thing: one-on-one and one-on-one fights/crowd-on-crowd fights are quite different in terms of technical and physical requirements. preparation.
I have a deep conviction that in a 1 on 1 fight, wrestling skills + weight, preferably not superfluous)) are in the first place in a mass battle, delivered, tempo punches to the head, and speed of movement come first.
Naturally, at the same time, I do not deny the proverb that it is not the style that wins, but the fighter. I sure that Olympic champion in judo heavyweight with a probability of 90%, he will throw amplitude over his back against the curb, and land 2-3 light-weight boxers on the head. But we will speak in an average, otherwise there will be no rating at all))
Based on the foregoing, the ability of martial arts to resist both one opponent and several, that is, to beat and fight, was taken as a basis. Therefore, do not be surprised that the vast majority here are mixed species, which at first glance do not differ much. They differ in history, rules, specifics of the training and competitive process and distribution area, all this leaves a significant imprint on their effectiveness on the street and on their place in the ranking.
Well, the last question that is asked quite often: what is the point of comparing martial arts?
I think we should not forget that almost every one of us came to the gym in order to learn how to fight/defend ourselves. For the sake of this, thousands of boys, and not quite boys, come there every day. And only over time, those units that remain, begin to change the goal - from "protect yourself" to "become a champion."
Brief abbreviations:
MMA - mixed martial arts, mixed martial arts
BI - martial arts
RB - hand-to-hand combat
ARB - army hand-to-hand combat
So let's go!
1.Combat Sambo
The first place is deservedly occupied by combat sambo. To date, this is the most common type of full-fledged mixed martial arts in the CIS space with a very wide arsenal. Here, punches, kicks, elbows, knees and even the head are allowed!) Throwing techniques, punches and kicks in the stalls, suffocating and painful on any limbs are allowed. Fights can be held both in helmets and without, which is also very valuable experience, because a blow missed in a helmet and without it is felt quite differently. Combat sambo took first place also because of all full-fledged mixed sports in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, this type has the largest number of qualified coaches of the Soviet era and a proven training methodology, as well as the largest number of teaching places.
2. Hand-to-hand combat
Sports hand-to-hand combat. This species is not a full-fledged mixed species as such due to the partial castration of the parterre and the shock part. In the stance, you can not beat with your knees, elbows and head. You can't hit on the ground. The time of wrestling in the stalls is also limited, while an unscrupulous referee can often raise to the rack even if one of the opponents is predominantly a wrestler, and active technical actions are being carried out in the stalls.
The second place was taken by RB due to the fact that it is the most common mixed species. In small towns you may not find Combat Sambo or MMA, but you will definitely find RB! And the practice of performing at competitions will help to separate the wheat from the chaff and use only efficient technique. Plus, a relatively small number of technical actions will help you master the basics of the striking part in the stand and wrestling in the stalls in less time than in "full-fledged mixed events."
3.MMA / Valetudo / Mixfight / Freefight
If we lived elsewhere, this direction would rightfully take first place. In America, MMA is already the most common type of BI, and there are a huge number of excellent gyms with professional trainers for it. With us, unfortunately, this is still only a tribute to tradition. Good coaches can be found in large cities, often from current or former MMA athletes. But good coaches are rare here. All training programs consist mainly of the results of the coach's amateur performance and his wild imagination + scraps of knowledge from foreign colleagues seen on video or read in interviews.
4. Pankration
I put this direction in a separate paragraph, since it requires a separate consideration. Pankration as a whole is an MMA sport, but with some historical circumstances that make it different. They lie in the fact that a huge number of athletes perform in pankration - freestyle wrestlers (freestyle wrestling), who take the vast majority of prizes in all competitions. This left its mark on training. Enough in many gyms they train "fighting with finishing" and wrestling + "put hands")). Naturally, this does not apply to all halls, but the trend is observed. A potentially very strong plus of pankration is its ability to become olympic view sports, in this case, the pace of its development will be simply colossal.
5.Army Hand-to-Hand Combat (ARB)
Of the advantages of the style is a very wide technical arsenal, which is even wider than in combat sambo. Here it is allowed to finish off a prone opponent with both hands and feet, headbutt, etc. Also a definite plus is the wide distribution of the ARB and a large number good coaches. Of the minuses - the presence of an unrealistically huge amount of protection - a helmet with a mesh, pads with feet, a vest. Potentially especially dangerous is a helmet with a mesh - people who are not used to getting in an open face often get lost at first, and on the street this can decide the outcome of the fight, because. 90% of punches fly from the right and in the nose))) This problem is inherent in fighters of the ARB, KUDO and karate styles where they do not hit the head with their hands, it is removed by the practice of contact sparring or a period of half a year - a year of boxing training.
6. KUDO
The hallmark of the style are fighters in helmets - aquariums. Almost any actions are allowed, elbows and ruts in the rack. Of the minuses, we have a somewhat castrated stalls - there are restrictions on time and on blows. Also a minus of a similar ARB is a helmet - an aquarium. The undoubted advantage of martial arts is its wide distribution, a large number of qualified coaches, a well-developed methodological component, a large number of competitions. different levels and preserving the traditional spirit and aesthetics of karate. Also, the system is constantly developing, there are experts with professional directions.
7. Kombat jujutsu/ Combat Jiu Jitsu
Combat Jiu Jitsu is a tribute to fashion mixed martial arts. To traditional jiu-jitsu, added punching, kicking and kneeling techniques from hand-to-hand combat, boxing, kickboxing. In general, it is a fairly holistic system with a strong emphasis on the stalls. Finishing in the stalls with hands and any painful and suffocating are allowed. Pros - very good wrestling and throwing technique, fairly strict MMA rules, traditional wrestling training technique, great emphasis on PHYSICAL. Of the minuses - a somewhat weak technique in the stance, not much popularity and prevalence of the style, and as a result, a small number of participants in the competition and a small number of good level athletes.
8. Ju Jutsu / Jiu Jitsu
Oddly enough, many do not know that in traditional jiu-jitsu there are punches and kicks. It is also characteristic that full-contact competitions in traditional jujitsu are tougher than in the direction of the combat, due to the fact that gloves and linings are not used at all in some jiu-jitsu competitions.
Nevertheless, the advantages of this martial art are an excellent ground floor and excellent throwing technique. The downsides are the low level of technique of punches and kicks, even at the national championships, and a large number of coaches - charlatans teaching jujitsu under the auspices of various incomprehensible federations that grow like mushrooms after rain.
9. Sambo
SAMBO was originally a system designed for self-defense and widely used by law enforcement officers. This is the only purely wrestling martial art in the ranking. But he didn't get here by accident. SAMBO has been in service with law enforcement agencies for a long time, and according to statistics, with the help of its techniques, a huge number of law enforcement officers neutralized criminals and came out alive and unharmed from many delicate situations. The key here is to work out the basic techniques to a state of automatism, in order to apply the technique without hesitation, on a subconscious level, in an extreme situation of a street collision.
10. Muay Thai / Boxing classic
Thai boxing is also the only one, but already purely shock view martial arts in the ranking. The point is that in Thai boxing you have the most freedom of action in the stance. In addition to the fact that this is Muay Thai, this is an "eight-armed" fight, that is, punches, kicks, knees and elbows are allowed, wrestling in the rack is allowed, and strikes from the rack are also allowed. All this in Thai boxing will teach you like nowhere else. Therefore, if you do not allow passage to the legs, the Thai boxer has a huge chance of winning. After all, what is the probability that an experienced wrestler will attack you on the street?
Well, everything is clear with boxing - firstly, here in the shortest period of time you can learn how to defend yourself - because of a very narrow arsenal. Secondly, this is martial art No. 1 when working with a group. Thirdly, a large number of competent specialists, many of them still of Soviet hardening.
And finally, let me remind you of a couple of eternal truths:
- it's not the style that wins, but the fighter
- before training, you need to take an interest in the achievements of the coach himself, both sports and coaching
- you need to practice where you want to practice, every time I force myself to go to training through I don’t want to fail
- it is better to start with a friend, and preferably with several. This will allow you to kick each other so as not to miss training, and it’s more fun together + there will always be someone to pair up with.
- in most gyms you can come for a trial workout, or even several - for free. Take your time, go to several gyms with different trainers, different styles, and stay where you like.
Don't buy expensive gear right away. The simplest - bandages, gloves, kimonos can be bought inexpensively. Everything else, especially good firms can wait up to six months. Firstly, you need to make sure that you stay here for a long time, and secondly, you will not be looked askance at as a beginner in a $200 Hayabusa kimono with a black belt that came with it)))
The list below consists of the top ten martial arts for self defense. If you are interested in choosing martial arts for the most effective defense, then you should definitely read this rating to the end.

Jeet Kune Do was created by Bruce Lee and in Chinese means "the way of the leading fist." Today, this style of martial arts is considered one of the most popular in the world.
