      @@CombatSelfDefense Although I haven't practiced it technically, I just see that the body mechanics and the skills it develops would make someone ridiculously agile and acrobatic, they'll develop decent distance management, really good control over their body, and if they do deliver strikes, they're delivered with their entire body.
      Basically, although its somewhat of a gimmicky martial art, it'll develop some very useful attributes to help someone run away, avoid damage, and deliver exceptionally powerful strikes when needed (It looks like the love child of Capoeira and Karate, but done in a way that makes the attributes of both better).

    Good list. I do think that any martial art can be more effective in a fight if, and this is the major caveat, the school includes some form of controlled contact sparring. Being hit can teach you a lot about how to apply what you've learned. There are plenty of MMA fighters who demonstrate that Wing Chun or Taekwondo tools can be quite effective in the hands of a skilled fighter.

    Great Episode!!
    My evolution from 8 years old started with sport karate and sport jujitsu. Now at 56 with some pretty significant injuries and a disability I have settled with Hapkido, Catch Wrestling, Panantukan and a dash of old school combatives. The Panantukan is great for striking, Hapkido for standing grappling and Catch for the unfortunate moments I have to go to the ground. Their also my fun favorites to practice.
    Thanks!!

    Some of the best words you ever said. Out of around 25 street fights in my life, only around 2 necessitated serious violence rather than physical deesculation. I've trained in all sorts, but mostly I've used grip breaks, standing chokes, and strong pushes (as well as body/head movement to avoid being hit by surprise strikes by fists and weapons). Self defense isn't one on one, and indeed approaching a fight like that just escalates things very rapidly. Yep. Just run away is bs. My only 'failure' in self defense was running away. Both guys chased, takled me to the floor, and I was done. One beat me while the other one was on top.

    For the mobility aspect I find American Kickboxing and Boxe Français more useful just because you don't have to do light contact. I've seen many point competitors not be able to do meaningful damage while striking when having to because they're conditioned not to. I like Shuai Jiao, but it is just standing throws, no pins, or groundfighting. Panantukan I've learned the Inosanto system and Pekiti Tersia system both require having a foundation in Boxing and Greco-Roman Wrestling to truly take advantage of its drills.

    I think training for self-defense is more about having the right coach and mindset who is looking at the techniques for that kind of practicality than it is the specific art that you're drawing from.
    But, in the spirit of your video, if we're talking about arts that might have surprising self-defense value -- I'd put taijitsu/ninjitsu on the list (if you have a serious instructor, not a goofball grifter) because its such a great blend of dirty striking, movement, and stand up grappling. Hardy Quest from North Carolina has great self-defense applications at his ninjitsu school.
    I'd also put WWII-era combatives (anything from Douglas Fairbairn) on the list. Its like Krav Maga's hard core grandfather. It was made to teach people of all sizes in a short training period (weeks, maybe months at most).

    I practiced hapkido, for me, as a base martial art, is A tier, once you have a good base on it, you can pretty much go to a shotokan class, to a kiokushin class, to a bjj or judo class, and be rolling in a really short time. With western disciplines is true is harder to adapt. That was my experience with later doing bjj and kickboxing. Btw yes we learn techniques like grabbing fingers(we train grip streghent) and for example are great when somebody gets you in a rear choke. And wristlocks are surprisingly easily when you are doing ne waza xD. Check also taekkyon, they have a quite solid grappling usually.

    If you mensioned point karate, you could also take into consideration point Taekwondo or maybe ift taekwondo...this art is the best at distance control and keeping the opponent at distance while striking him. Capoeira also does a similar job. I can tell you that almost all martial arts are underrated, they get a bad reputation due to the shitty practitioners that we have today. Anyway this was still a good video with good systems mensioned, especially those of Thailand and Philippines or Indonesia. Most Kung fu styles can really work well for mortal kombat modalities, but never for sport combat.

    From a historical perspective. The "grab my wrist" martial arts make a lot more sense when you are carrying a sword. An attacker in that scenario has a very good reason to grab your wrist/arm and not let go when you start moving. To keep you from drawing your sword and stabbing him.
    There is some good stuff in there for people that carry firearms, especially in the open, like cops or security.

    Tai chi push hands also comes very close to Shuai Jiao in its sparring/competitive format, the difference is largely in the approach, biomechanics and the inclusion of pushes/body checks. The problem of course is that the majority of Tai chi schools don't even spar/compete, and even if they do compete, the talent pool is very small and skew towards an older demographic.

    Alright teacher, your channel is very good. Panantukan or pangamut is a great martial art, it covers aspects of boxing with elbows, knees and low kicks, as well as different forms of attack with the hands such as heel of the hand, hammer punch, etc. In addition to the grappling part that consists of immobilizations on the ground, takedowns and joint locks. The issue is the school that teaches this martial art and not the art itself. The problem with many schools is that they focus too much on weapons and not enough physical fighting sparring. At school in my country there is a big emphasis on full contact sparring and before that basic western boxing is taught. The various techniques that you see on UA-cam videos with various strikes are for pure demonstration, on the streets there are a maximum of 5 strikes that are used.

      I think the question that needs to be asked is what is the effectiveness of both pushing and pulling while striking at the same time. With Chinese martial arts there's an idea that it's hard to land a good hit if your unbalanced. The idea of most Chinese martial arts is to attack your body as a unit. Needless to say it's good to mix traditional arts with sport arts to learn different ways to use your body.

    All styles will work if you spar against resistance and uncooperative opponents long enough. Run away? Once it starts don't stop until he can't continue. Why just defend against weapons? If its worth fighting (i. e. real self defence) defend Using Weapons. (I study Combative Arnis).

    I was very surprised not to see Aikijujutsu here as well. I teach it to children (10-12 years : the older ones go with the adults) and very much emphasise self defense as in "he grabs you and want to slap you" or "he pushes you with both arms" or "threatens you by grabbing your collar" wich are very common beginnings of fights.
    Grabbing an arm is also very common against women like in "come with me in that dark corner". Knowing how to get out of a grip is practical self defense, throwing high kicks not so much.

    All martial arts work if you train against resistance. I used to think traditional martial arts were garbage because I got a lot more useful things from wrestling. Then I started training JKD and MMA. I noticed that some of the weirder postures from my Kung Fu and Karate forms were popping up in my wrestling and grappling. Then I started dabbling with Bagua Jian and as soon as I was taught the ‘’snake form’’ I recognized exactly what it is. You are defending a single leg takedown and using under hooks to stand up and establish a clinch. You will never be able to use it training the way they do now but if you cross train a traditional martial art and a modern one you’ll surprise your training partners with a lot of useful stuff that they have never seen before.

    Kung Fu gets a bad rep because many fake “masters” faced Xu XiaoDong and these people know more modern wushu (which is more performative gymnastics and no fighting aspect), while the good teachers are in villages and don’t do flashy moves.

      @@CombatSelfDefense it's just when they play in publice, literally in the street circles that everyone is allowed to attend. It's called "Roda de Rua". The thing is you don't really know when something might pop off. You'll see two guys playing then the next thing you know someone is on top of the other throwing punches and elbows. It can get wild. If attending those types of events doesn't boost your situational awareness then I don't know what will.

      This is certainly an interesting list, but I think you’ve chosen mostly subsystems and niche martial arts, with none of them having a particularly strong base in the three ranges of combat.
      I would recommend subbing out capoeira or taido for something like judo or boxing.

    no single martial arts works in real world self defense. it never works.the only one that works is the MIXED "martial arts.the ones refer to as MMA. thats not a "sport" like what you normally deem it to be. just because it is being used in competition like UFC, dont make it a mere sport. the sports competitions simply put that system to STRESS and HONE it to effectiveness.
    so, the ONLY THING that works in real world situations, whether that is should be lethal or not, is MMA , which is consisting of BASICS of judo/jujitsu/graplings, and the BASICS of KICK BOXING. thats it. simplicity.
    if you need to "disable" an opponent without harming them, when they aggres towards you, you simply close the gap and clinch, like those in boxing rings. hugging. thats it. no need some unique martials arts with some "do" suffix for that solution. the BASICS will work.
    every single martial arts that has some fancy "stance" and "dancing" will REVERT to MMA in real situation. its just gimmicks. for example, indonesian "pencak silat". its just a "bullshido" at best.

      @@alphaomega154 you're funny. Because, MMA as you put it IS derived from the traditional martial arts before it. And if you pay attention a lot of the higher level fighters came from TMA backgrounds and you see more and more of those "fancy/gimmicky" moves popping up in MMA. Rose Namaunuez trained some FMA before she took on Wei Lei, Toney Ferguson was known to step outside the box with what he trained. Having a good 1 2 double leg is great. But what happens when someone has an answer for that? What happens when you're in waist deep water so pulling guard ain't a good idea. I think you should go look into the history and culture of different MAs and see what brough them about and why they developed the way that they did. And also keep in mind that not that long ago the entire world was much more dangerous than it is now and people threw hands more regularly than today. MAs were pressure tested in daily life than in the cage.
      Here's the thing basics are the core they are the foundation. But you're supposed to build from there. Stuff like silat and such came from basics and grew to become what they are now. You can see the same with BJJ it's not the same art that it was 20yrs ago. Wrestling has a lot of fancy moves. Muay Thai has a plethora of fancy moves as well as boxing. All of them are effective apart as well as together. The fancy stuff came about when everyone became accustomed to the basics and they needed to adapt to beat people that adapted to them.
