First sentence wrong. Karate is from Okinawa, and before was called chinese hands. Cmon!

Fair enough yes, we simplify things. Okinawa is now a city in Japan, formerly it was independent. Karate is kinda like a Chinese Japanese amalgamation, so agreed.

@@Koopatotschkaru if you want grappling, use judo, bjj is 3rd rate at best, bjj doesn't focuss on the entirety of grappling AT ALL, it's ground game only, and what gvood is groundgame if you can't get your opponent there to begin with, judo has BOTH, at least boxing keeps the fight standing, judo and boxing combined is perfect, bjj has a major weakness called sprawl and brawl because they have zero striking and they suck at wrestling too, if a great judoka doesn't want you to take him down, you're NOT taking him down, especially in the clinch with superior striking on top of it all, bjj is USELESS against a guy with superior striking and superior stand-up grappling

@ElijahWilson058
Ай бұрын
Krav Maga is better, Krav Maga teaches you how to safely defend yourself from multiple scenarios whether it’s a bar fight or a knife attack. Krav Maga also teaches you how to make use of dirty moves such as strikes to the groin and eye gouging. Lastly, Systema is horrible during high-stress situations because Systema focuses on relaxation while Krav Maga focuses on aggression during very stressful or unexpected situations.
Nice but I do think Jeet June do should be ranked with Krav Maga

Chat GPT is objectively wrong, aikido and tai chi are both top S tiers. With aikido, it doesn’t matter how strong your opponent is if their own force is used against them. As for tai chi, it uses energy cultivation to tap in to nearly limitless combat potential.

This is not from chatgpt, this info is researched from other videos where MMA fighters and self defense trainers rank them. But of course opinions differ. Apparently Aikido is very hard to learn. That's why it ranks low.

Inneficient punches?. Sure you didn't know that the sparring in Taekwon-Do ITF and WT (olimpic) are very different from each other in terms of punching. It has a lot of more hands strikes than punches that you can use for self defense in streets situations, and I'm not even mention that in the ITF style we spar with a lot of tactical punches to the face and body. It's important to make a difference between sport and martial art, and not make disinformation.

I myself am a Wing Chun practitioner and are very confused, when you describe Wing Chun movements and show pictures of Northern Style Kung Fu, which is very (!) different from Wing Chun ... also when you talk about Krav Maga you show a picture of Wing Chun. That is totally misleading. Krav Maga never looks the way this picture shows ... and (my personal opinion): Tae Kwon Do is not better for self defense than Wing Chun ;)
