Are you looking for a martial art that will be most effective in real combat? Below are some of the deadliest martial arts and combat techniques. What started out as a stick-and-rock fight has evolved into an extremely difficult and deadly martial arts form of self-defense. Ready to learn about the 25 deadliest martial arts ever made?
25. Bocator
An ancient Cambodian martial art that has its origins in the battlefield, and its name literally translates to “lion beating”. Since all sorts of combinations of blows and weapons are used for combat, it is not surprising that the bocator has caused numerous deaths.
24. Kombato

Although this martial art is no longer practiced today, the kombato was an extremely deadly martial art used by the Canadian Forces during World War II. It was created in 1910 by Bill Underwood, and after the war several law enforcement agencies asked him to train their officers. However, Bill refused on the grounds that kombato was too brutal a martial art, and instead developed Dendo, a softer version for citizens.

Developed by Bruce Lee, this hybrid martial art style was his answer to the floral techniques used in other systems. Bruce believed that such forms of combat were aesthetically pleasing, but their practical value was almost nil.
22. Shippalgi

Practiced for hundreds of years by the Korean military, this martial art is divided into three categories - throwing, striking, and cutting. However, unlike many of its Korean counterparts, it is more focused on practical fighting techniques than artistic philosophy.
21. Capoeira

Although today it looks more like a display of sophistication and skill, this martial art originated hundreds of years ago in the Brazilian ghettos where slaves were kept. Initially, it was a technique with which slaves could free themselves or defend themselves from attackers. Powerful legs and dexterous movements were disguised as dance, giving the slaves the opportunity to practice discreetly. Due to the dangerous nature and history of capoeira, it was outlawed several times in Brazil, and today it is discouraged in some social groups.
20. Kajukenbo

Originating from the streets of the criminal settlement Palama in Hawaii, this highly effective and punctuated style of martial art combines numerous borrowings and was specifically designed to enable locals to defend themselves not only from gangs, but also from drunken sailors who had the habit of starting fights.
19. Casey's Combat Method

Developed by Justo Deigues Serrano as a sum of his combat experience on the streets of Spain, Casey's method is designed to defend himself during violent street confrontations. In recent years, he has gained widespread popularity and even appeared in Batman films.
18. Sambo

Sambo is a deadly combination of grappling and freestyle wrestling that was developed specifically for the Red Army in the early 1920s. At first, it was created to increase the combat capability of the Soviet special forces, but after a surge in crime, the government began training security guards and law enforcement officers. Robbing banks in Russia is obviously a bad idea.
17. Dim Mak

Also known as kyushu-jutsu or pressure fighting, this ancient style of martial art involves attack using specific pain points on the body. Such an attack can lead to knockout or death. Perhaps the most dangerous thing about this fighting style is that many people underestimate it and don't understand how dangerous it can be.
16. Kyokushinkai

This full contact martial art is a vertical style of karate. It has deep philosophical roots regarding self-improvement, discipline and respect. Kyokushinkai is known as one of the "most difficult" martial arts because it uses very little protective equipment and combat involves full contact. In the words of one of their spiritual teachers: “The heart of our karate is a real fight. There can be no proof without a real fight. Without proof, there is no trust. There is no respect without trust. This is the definition in the world of martial arts. "
15. Bojuka

Like other non-sporting martial arts, this hybrid fighting technique, developed by Tom Schrenk in the 90s, does not focus on scoring or correct execution of elements. Its sole purpose is to allow those in the minority to seize the chances and turn them in their favor during a surprise street attack. Unlike other similar martial arts on our list, this one attempts to use force intelligently.
14. Silat

This wrestling style is originally from Malaysia. If you've noticed, many of the martial arts forms on this list retain philosophy and morality. However, silat is simply about violence. While there is controversy over its origins, the main goal of this fight is to exploit the weaknesses of your opponents and incapacitate as many of them as possible.
13. Kung Fu

Kung Fu has become practically a general term for all Chinese martial arts. While there are many different ones, the main feature is strikes against the enemy, delivered very quickly and with tremendous force.
12. System

A deadly form of martial art used by Russian special forces, the system is similar to Krav Maga wrestling in that its sole purpose is to inflict as much damage on the enemy as possible in the shortest possible time.
11. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu became very popular all over the world when Royce Gracie won the first, second and fourth championships of ultimate fighting. The effectiveness of road safety is tied to its focus on ground combat and gives the less experienced the advantage of using body levers.
10. Muay Thai

Also known as the “art of the eight limbs” for its elbow and knee strikes, this martial art should not be surprising to see its origin in Thailand. This country is very familiar with violence and war.
9. Kapu-kalua

Also known simply as lua, this unconventional Hawaiian martial art focuses on bone fractures, collective participation, and even open warfare in the ocean. The name itself actually means "2 blows" and, omitting the long history of this struggle on the battlefield, we can say that its practitioners seek to turn the opponent's defect to their advantage and even use some strange methods, for example, cover themselves with coconut oil so that they cannot be grab.
8. Tank

Also known as wakon, this Peruvian martial art was born on the streets of Lima. It combines different martial arts and is designed to quickly inflict maximum damage on the enemy. Since hidden weapons and deception are often used during combat, it is not surprising that fights end in death.
7. Arnis

Native to the Philippines, this martial art is also called kali and escrima. As with other martial arts on this list, discipline and moral values are of great importance to him. One of the notable features of this martial art is the use of a cane, as historically bladed weapons have been used longer than a knife.
6. Pugilism

Also known as boxing, this fighting sport is found in many variations around the world. It is very dangerous, since the main target for strikes is the head, and in the 19th century this sport was banned in several countries of the world.
5. Vale-tudo

From Portuguese it means “everything is in motion”. Valetudo is a contact combat sport popular in Brazil. He has a very limited number of rules, and techniques are borrowed from numerous martial arts. The only problem is that the fight is so dangerous and bloody that it often creates a real stir in the media. For this reason, most events take place underground.
4. Ninjutsu

Practiced in feudal Japan, shinobi, or, this martial art focuses on non-standard warfare tactics, espionage and assassination. Practitioners of this martial art are sometimes even called quinine, or non-humans.
3. Hard-contact wrestling

This struggle is considered one of the few to hail from the United States and was very popular during the American Revolution. The main emphasis was placed on maximum disfigurement, so any tricks were used: men could point in the eyes of the enemy, or bite off their tongue. Very few of the other martial arts on this list match this in terms of violence.
2. Line

It is a deadly martial art that was widely used by the US Marine Corps in the 90s, and is still used by numerous special forces. In recent years, it has been replaced by the martial arts program MCMAP because the line has proven to be inflexible. Since this martial art was aimed at the death of the enemy, it could not be used in other types of operations, for example, peacekeeping.
Share the positive with your friends! Thank you! :)
If you don't feel too confident seeing the 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 pumping calf muscles that are useless in melee in the gym, and do something more serious.
In just 6-18 months, everyone can learn how to fight well. Here are the five most effective self-defense systems:
# 5: Kyokushinkai Karate
The legendary Masutatsu Oyama invented this most spectacular kind of karate 60 years ago. They say that he just got tired of watching the ancient martial art degenerate and become less and less contact. As a result, already in the 1960s, Oyama's brainchild 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 "grade" with a yellow belt. And this means that you can deal with one or two amateurs to "light a cigarette" in the alley without a lighter.
# 4: kickboxing
Legend has it that the term kickboxing was coined by Chuck Norris in the early 1970s. Whether it’s true or not, this fusion of boxing and martial arts has become very popular all over the world. No dans, kyu or other tameshiwari. Instead, a battle familiar to the Slavic soul, where blows are inflicted in full force - with feet and hands. 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 a technical educational program in boxing or taekwondo. But already 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 quickly send him to the next world, today it is just self-defense for everyone.
Unlike karate, in jiu-jitsu, the emphasis is not on punches and blocks, but on creases, strangulation, painful holds and throws. It was not for nothing that even the city of tsarist Russia at the beginning of the 20th century studied the techniques of this system. To master Jiu-Jitsu at a level sufficient for self-defense, you have enough 8-10 months.
# 2: Kadochnikov's 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 it is used in the special forces, it is available to everyone - from a teenager to a housewife.
The only drawback: to find out how "it" works, you need not so much to have a good punch with both hands, but to know physics, psychology and anatomy. Kadochnikov himself did not show the techniques, but explained the physical laws or the principles underlying them. Therefore, if you manage to find a science-savvy instructor, already after 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. Has nothing to do with competitions, sparring, medals or any philosophy. And therefore it is considered the most effective and useful martial art in real life.
The Krav Maga was developed in the 1930s by Imi Lichtenfeld, who in this way decided to teach skinny Slovak Jews to fend off the attacks of muscular stormtroopers.
In this Israeli "struggle" everything is logical and well thought out. The emphasis is on countering an armed attack. And even to the smallest detail, defense is practiced with improvised means (from a pencil to a diplomat) and a group fight.
The main thing in Krav Maga is to understand the reflexes of both your own and the enemy. If you are mobilized, you can really complete the course and become invincible in just 6 months.
Many people wonder what kind of martial art is best to practice in order to feel confident in a conflict situation on the street. It was this question that prompted me to write this short article to help novice martial artists.
In this article I will not say anything about street hand-to-hand combat or about applied martial arts in general. It will focus exclusively on those martial arts that I consider to be the most effective for street fighting today and of which I am a fan.
I would like to make a small reservation right away: martial arts, which have applied value, are inevitably associated with hardships and hardships of the training process. When you come to class, you will definitely get hit on the head, most likely it will be painful and hard for you, but the knowledge and experience that you gain will be one hundred percent real. Having started practicing one of the martial arts listed in this article, you are guaranteed at least something, but you will learn, it remains only to choose the optimal direction for you.
To begin with, I will announce the truth that absolutely all people who are fond of martial arts know: if you have never done anything before and start from scratch, then BOXING is an ideal option for street self-defense. The thing is that boxing is a super-universal sport. With a solid foundation in boxing, your continued growth in the martial arts world will be no problem for you.
One of the main advantages of boxing over other martial arts is the relative simplicity and incredible efficiency of the technical arsenal practiced. That is why, if you do not have a lot of time and you are faced with the task of learning to fight as quickly as possible, boxing, due to its hyperspecialization, provides the best ratio of the time spent and the knowledge and technical skills gained during this time. Among other things, the methodology for training boxers in our country has been worked out quite well, so by coming to almost any gym you will receive high-quality training services.
However, this direction also has disadvantages, which are the reverse side and a continuation of its advantages: due to a rather narrow technical arsenal, a boxer remains vulnerable to a huge range of techniques used in hand-to-hand combat, such as throws, kicks, elbows, knees, wrestling technique, melee technique, etc…. However, this is not a cause for concern: in my experience, about eighty percent of the technique used in street fights is the technique of hands at medium distance. Rarely does an average fight's arsenal exceed a few crooked punches and a couple of simple kicks. By learning how to defend against basic kicks and counterattack with a standard boxing combination, you will protect yourself for the rest of your life.
In order to confidently master the technique of boxing, you just need to spend about 3 years studying it, after which you will not have any problems communicating with people with a low level of culture.
The second in order, but not in importance, in my personal rating of the most effective martial arts for street fighting is Thai boxing, or as it is also called, Muay Thai. The advantages of this martial art are that the technical arsenal used is as close as possible to that of a street fight. The blows are applied with all parts of the body (except for the head), the work is carried out both at medium and long distances, and in the clinch.
The Thai clinch is powerful. It is a set of simple twists, carvings and throws, which, in an organic combination with the striking technique of Muay Thai, become an incredibly effective weapon and a way to create a lot of problems even for experienced masters of mixed martial arts! In my deepest conviction, this is the closest technical arsenal to real, applied hand-to-hand combat, and this is how the application of the elements of fighting in practice, in real life, should look like. Amplitude throws and parterre, which are popular in wrestling circles, in my opinion, are not suitable for street fighting.
Despite the significant role of the parterre in mixed martial arts competitions, it is highly undesirable to transfer the fight to the ground in a street fight. And if you do find yourself on the ground, which is quite likely, your main task is to get back on your feet as quickly as possible. Do not try to mess with anyone, otherwise you may not be able to get out of an extreme situation alive and healthy, since the rules governing your safe stay on the ground at sports competitions do not apply on the street.
However, in order to sufficiently master the technical arsenal of Muay Thai, you need to spend significantly more time than if you were engaged in English boxing. The combination of striking techniques of arms and legs requires greater coordination and motor endowments, which is why the required frequency of visits to the gym to obtain reliable self-defense skills will be higher than that of boxing.
For those who do not want to bother and spend a lot of time on martial arts, this option is not ideal. However, if you feel enthusiastic, drawn to martial arts and have enough time to regularly attend training, then Muay Thai is your choice.
And, finally, if you want to take martial arts seriously and get the maximum applied value from training, then I would strongly recommend that you go to combat sambo. Combat Sambo is the most complex combat system I know of. She has absorbed all the best and proved to be extremely effective not only in our country, but also in the international arena. It is an open, flexible hand-to-hand combat system that is constantly evolving and improving, cultivating all possible martial arts techniques and conducting competitions according to the most free rules.
The technical arsenal of sambo is inexhaustible. It is impossible to master it fully. It includes both wrestling techniques and striking techniques of arms and legs, technique of painful and suffocating techniques, a special section for special services, a section for working with weapons, techniques of total combat, detention, escorting, etc.…. In general, to briefly summarize all of the above, SAMBO is an encyclopedia of the best knowledge available to a person in the field of sports and applied single combats today. If you have decided to do combat sambo, then please be patient, because you simply will not conquer this peak.
While practicing sambo, you will not receive highly specialized skills, as you would get in boxing, but a fairly wide range of knowledge that you can apply in a wide range of situations.
However, if we are talking about a variant of self-defense and it is interesting for you to solve specifically applied problems on the street, to win fights, then the arsenal of combat sambo will be redundant and not optimal for you, since it contains many techniques specialized for the conditions of conducting a competitive duel, which are not desirable for use in a real fight. What you can painlessly do on a carpet, in good light, after warming up and stretching, is guaranteed to give you a lot of trouble when trying to implement the same thing on the street, where the surface is most often heterogeneous and hard, there is not much space for performing the technique , the enemy may not be alone or armed, and temperature drops and "cold" muscles are guaranteed to lead you to injury when you try to show a "beautiful" technique. Well, this is not the fault of SAMBO as a system: the point is, as I have already said, that the selection of the most effective and efficient technical actions in any combat sport is based on the conditions and rules of the fight. With the same success, a sambo fighter will experience difficulties entering the cage at mixed martial arts competitions, where there is no wrestling jacket that is familiar to him, which makes it difficult to perform many techniques. But it is worth making a reservation: eighty percent of the technical arsenal practiced in combat sambo is suitable for universal use in any street situation.
In addition, if you do not have sufficient time resources for a deep immersion in this martial art and for its thorough mastering, it is better to take a closer look at one of the options listed above.
Therefore, to summarize, it is necessary to outline the main features of the above styles of hand-to-hand fighting: take up boxing, if you are running out of time, but you want to learn how to fight ..., if there is more time (about 3 free evenings a week), choose Muay Thai, but if you are a fan martial arts and are going to get carried away with it seriously and for a long time, then combat sambo is your choice!
However, in my opinion, it always lies somewhere in the middle. Speaking about solving problems of an applied nature (winning on the street), personally, I would tend to train in Muay Thai. In my opinion, training in hand-to-hand combat is a rather time-consuming and difficult activity that requires regularity and consistency. By practicing Muay Thai a little more often, you will gain incomparably greater experience and master a much more diverse technical arsenal than in English boxing, and at the same time not excessive, as in combat sambo. That is why, in my personal rating of the most effective martial arts for street fighting, Muay Thai takes first place!
So, the author's TOP-10 rating of single combats for self-defense is presented to your attention. A little about myself: the total experience of practicing martial arts is about 10 years. Among them: kickboxing, Muay Thai, RB, Jiu Jitsu. I have a fairly solid experience of close communication with representatives of various martial arts both at full contact competitions and on the street. Based on this PERSONAL experience, I made the appropriate rating.
I can definitely say one thing: one-on-one and one-on-one versus crowd / crowd on crowd are quite different in terms of technical and physical requirements. preparation.
I am deeply convinced that in a 1v1 battle, wrestling skills + weight are of top priority, preferably not extra)) In a mass battle, set, tempo punches to the head, and movement speed come first.
Naturally, at the same time, I do not deny the adage that it is not the style but the fighter that wins. I am sure that the Olympic champion in judo in heavy weight with a 90% probability will throw over the curb over his back and put 2-3 lightweight boxers on his head. But we will say averaged, otherwise no rating will come out at all))
Based on the foregoing, the basis was taken of the possibility of single combats to resist both one opponent and several, that is, to beat and fight. Therefore, do not be surprised that the absolute majority here are mixed species, which at first glance are not very different. They differ in history, rules, the specifics of the training and competitive process and the area of distribution, all this leaves a significant imprint on their effectiveness on the street and on their place in the rating.
Well, and the last question that is asked very often: what is the point of comparing martial arts?
I think we should not forget that practically each of us came to the gym in order to learn how to fight / defend ourselves. For the sake of this, thousands of boys come there every day, and not quite boys anymore. And only over time, for those units that remain, the replacement of the goal begins - from "defending oneself" to "becoming a champion".
Short 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
Combat sambo deservedly takes the first place. Today it is the most common type of full-fledged mixed martial arts in the post of the CIS space with a very wide arsenal. Here punches, kicks, elbows and knees and even the head are allowed!) Allowed throwing techniques, punches and kicks on the ground, suffocating and painful on any limbs. Battles can be carried out with or without helmets, which is also a very valuable experience, because a blow missed in a helmet and without it feels completely different. Combat SAMBO took first place also because of all the full-fledged mixed types in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, this type has the largest number of qualified trainers from 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 striking part. In a standing position, you cannot hit with your knees, elbows and head. You cannot hit on the ground. The time for wrestling on the ground is also limited, while an unscrupulous referee can often raise in a standing position, even if one of the opponents is predominantly a wrestler, and active technical actions are being carried out on the ground.
RB took the second place due to the fact that it is the most widespread mixed species. In small towns you may not find Combat Sambo or MMA, but you will definitely find RB! And the practice of competing will help to separate the wheat from the chaff and use only effective technique. Plus, a relatively small number of technical actions will help to master the basics of the striking part in the standing position and wrestling on the ground in less time than in "full-fledged mixed forms".
3.MMA / Valetudo / Mixfight / Freefight
If we lived in another place, this direction would rightfully occupy the 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. In our country, unfortunately, this is still only a tribute to tradition. Quite good coaches can be in big cities, often from active or former MMA athletes. But good trainers are rare here. All training programs consist mainly of the fruits of the coach's amateur performance and his violent imagination + scraps of knowledge from foreign colleagues seen on video or read in interviews.
4.Pancration
I have taken this direction into a separate paragraph, since it requires a separate consideration. Pankration as a whole is an MMA species, but with some historical circumstances that distinguish it. They consist in the fact that a huge number of freestyle wrestlers (freestyle wrestling) compete in pankration, who take the overwhelming number of prizes at all competitions. This left an imprint on training. Quite in many gyms they train "fight with finishing" and wrestling + "put hands on")). Naturally, this does not apply to all halls, but the trend is observed. Potentially a very strong plus of pankration is its ability to become an Olympic sport in the future, in which case the pace of its development will be simply colossal.
5.Army Hand-to-Hand Combat (ARB)
One of the advantages of the style is a very wide technical arsenal, which is even wider than in combat sambo, where it is allowed to finish off a prone opponent with both hands and feet, head bangs, etc. Also an undoubted plus is the wide distribution of ARB and a large number of good trainers. Of the minuses - the presence of an unrealistically huge amount of protection - a helmet with a mesh, pads with feet, a vest. A helmet with a net is potentially especially dangerous - 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 blows fly from the right and to the nose))) This problem is inherent in fighters of ARB, KUDO and karate styles where they do not hit their heads with their hands, it is removed by the practice of contact sparring or by a period of half a year - a year of boxing training.
6. KUDO
The hallmark of the style are fighters in helmets - aquariums. Practically any actions are allowed, elbow strikes and ruts in the stance. Of the minuses, we have a somewhat castrated parterre - there is a time limit and a blow. The same disadvantage of a similar ARB is a helmet - an aquarium. The undoubted plus of martial arts is its wide distribution, a large number of qualified coaches, a well-developed methodological component, a large number of competitions at various levels and the preservation of the traditional spirit and aesthetics of karate. Also, the system is constantly evolving, there are experts with professional directions.
7. Combat Ju Jutsu / Combat Ju Jitsu
Combat Jiu Jitsu is a tribute to the mixed martial arts fashion. Added to traditional Jiu Jitsu techniques of striking punches, kicks and knees from hand-to-hand combat, boxing, kickboxing. In general, it is a fairly holistic system with a strong emphasis on the ground. Finishing on the ground with hands and any painful or strangulation are allowed. Pros - very good technique of wrestling and throwing, rather strict MMA rules, traditional technique of teaching wrestling, great emphasis on physical fitness. Of the minuses - a somewhat weak technique in the rack, not a particular popularity and prevalence of the style, and as a result, a small number of participants in the competition and a small number of athletes of a good level.
8. Ju Jutsu / Ju Jitsu
Oddly enough, many do not know that in traditional Jiu Jitsu there are punches and kicks. Also, it is characteristic that full contact competitions in traditional Jiu Jitsu are tougher than in the direction of Kombat, due to the fact that in some Jiu Jitsu competitions they do not use gloves and pads at all.
Nevertheless, the advantages of this martial arts are excellent parterre and excellent throwing technique. The disadvantages are the low level of punches and kicks, even at the national championships and a large number of coaches - charlatans teaching jiu jitsu under the auspices of various incomprehensible federations that grow like mushrooms after the rain.
9.Sambo
SAMBO was originally a system developed for self-defense, and was widely used by law enforcement officers. This is the only purely wrestling type of single combats in the ranking. But it was not by chance that he got here. For a long time SAMBO was in service with law enforcement agencies, and according to statistics, with the help of its techniques, a huge number of employees of the bodies neutralized criminals, and emerged safe and sound from many delicate situations. The key here is working out the basic techniques to a state of automatism, in order to apply the technique without hesitation, at a subconscious level, in an extreme situation of a street collision.
10. Muay Thai / Boxing classic
Thai boxing is also the only but purely percussive type of martial arts in the ranking. The point is that in Muay Thai you have the greatest freedom of action in the stance. In addition to the fact that this is Muay Thai - this is a fight of "eight-armed", that is, punches, kicks, knees and elbows are allowed, wrestling in a standing position is allowed, and strikes from a standing position are also allowed. All this in Muay Thai will teach you like nowhere else. Therefore, if you do not allow the passage to the legs, a Thai boxer has a huge chance of winning. After all, what is the likelihood that an experienced fighter will attack you on the street?
Well, everything is clear with boxing - firstly, here in the shortest period of time you can learn to defend yourself - because of a very narrow arsenal. Secondly, this is single combat # 1 when working with a group. Thirdly, there is a large number of competent specialists, many of whom are still of Soviet hardening.
And finally, let me remind you of a couple of eternal truths:
- it is not the style that wins, but the fighter
- before training, you need to inquire about the achievements of the coach himself, both sports and coaching
- you need to do where you want to do, every time you force yourself to go to workout through I do not want to fail
- it is better to start practicing with a friend, or better with several. This will allow you to kick each other so as not to miss workouts, well, together it will be more fun + there will always be someone to pair with.
- in most gyms, you can come for a trial workout, or even several for free. Take your time, go to several gyms to different coaches, different styles, and stay where you prefer.
- do not buy expensive equipment right away. The simplest - bandages, gloves, kimono 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, they will not look askance at you as a beginner in Hayabusa's kimono for $ 200 with a black belt that came with the kit)))
The ability to defend plays an important role in the history of every nation. Under the influence of natural, historical and cultural factors, many tactics of hand-to-hand combat were created and developed, each of which absorbed elements of the ethnic group of its country. Ways to hit the enemy and inflict pain became more and more effective, and over the centuries, the usual fight with stones and sticks has become a real martial art.
We bring to your attention the 10 most dangerous martial arts in the world, each of which went beyond the country of origin and became popular in many parts of the world.
10. Jiu-jitsu
This is a very effective and tough way of fighting, which appeared during street fights, and is now included in the list of sports disciplines.
9. Kazukenbo
This is an explosive mixture of boxing and karate. It arose in the first half of the twentieth century in Hawaii, as a street wrestling. The aborigines thus defended themselves from the sailors and bandit groups who had arrived.
8. Capoeira
This method of fighting, included in the 10 most dangerous martial arts in the world, originated in Brazil during the time of slaves and their owners. Fugitive slaves defended themselves in this way from soldiers and slave traders. The fighting technique was so skillful that capoeira was legally banned. But the Brazilian blacks did not want to part with her, and this struggle continues to this day in the form of a dance with combat elements.
7. Sambo
This type of struggle arose in the 20s of the twentieth century in the ranks of the Red Army, as self-defense without the use of improvised means. Sambo is a universal wrestling in which you can use not only arms and legs, but also elbows, knees, throws, jumps and choke holds.
6. Bojuka
Bojuka is also one of the ten most dangerous fighting techniques in the world, since its use is aimed at a swift victory over a real enemy, and there are no specific rules and prohibitions in this martial art. It arose at the end of the last century and is actively used in the training of bodyguards.
5. Jeet Kune Do
Its creator is the legendary Bruce Lee. This is a mix of many combat techniques, aimed at maximum damage to the enemy in a minimum of time. In this way, Bruce Lee transformed pompous Chinese fighting techniques into effective street fighting.
4. Combat technique of the GRU special forces
It is used by special forces soldiers. There are no analogues of Russian martial art in any country in the world, therefore it is considered one of the most dangerous.
3. Muay Thai
This technique is certainly worthy of entering the top of the most brutal martial arts in the world. Everything is used in it: feet, knees, elbows, head.
