I'm from a country where people are not allowed to have a gun without government permission, but some people have a knife in their pocket (especially ones which we called "guys from a street"). So, If I have a conflict with such guy (or guys), I prefer not wrestle, only boxing. Because: 1. This guy can use a knife. 2. You reduce your understanding of situation around you, what if he has friends somewhere around? (interviewed guy mentioned importance of understanding situation around you) Opponent friend can easily smash you. I was personally in such situation, when I was hit in my back, while I was on top of opponent. P.S. English is not my native lang, so some errors in my message are possible :)

from your name i'm guessing you are eastern european, possibly Ukrainian. In the U.S. you still need permission for many weapons. You need a license like with driving to buy a gun and another one if you want to carry it with you outside of home. You are right about the wrestling shortcoming when multiple people are there. Boxing is pretty good any time especially with knowledge of distance as many people can't judge distance well in a street fight. I'm sorry you got sucker punch when you were wrestling that guy. Did you have friends? and did you have to run or did you get knocked-out?

I agree if there is a weapon and one or multiple opponents grappling is not good. If they have a knife it is best to run quite honestly. Your success percentage is so low against someone with a knife it is not worth the risk. I've seen it first hand.

Realistic, honest and personable. An excellent example for young people and an intelligent man worthy of respect. Respect to you Ryan Hall, thanks so much for your insights! 🧠🤔👍💪🙏

Finally someone talking sense about self defences not magic styles etc.....your 🧠. In my experience there are people out there who have never been in the gym done any kind of style but they are diehard warriors and they will use anything comes to hand to hurt you. I think a lot of people think what goes on in the streets and clubs is like what happens in a ring or something like that and the two things could never be further from the truth

If there is more space: on the street it self a muay thai fighter probably should win. But not all muay thai styled fighter fight the way the thai do. It's more kickboxing with a thai twist. Than the last point: do 2 guys say oke lets do this in fair fight no interruptions. And no coma kicking. No sometimes people have an argument and just are talking and than without an warning some guy strikes out of the blue. The thing is there are sick people on this earth who likes to fuck people up for no reason. Self defence only works when done under pressure like real sparring. Or competiton. Not by stopping an inch before hitting the nose for example. Lots off selfdefence is rubbish. If you go for real stuff, do a full contact sport.

4:05 Jiu jitsu at high level involves wrestling. Yes. And Jiu jitsu at the street level needs Judo. People who practice Jiu Jitsu are used to a class environment. Big guys, tall and heavy, while untrained are hard to get to the ground. Judo is extremally good at explosively putting someone down. In a street fight, that in itself could end the assault. Getting smacked on the asphalt is going to hurt. Potentially life threating too.

Judo pairs extraordinarily well with BJJ. Sambo is Judo-base with some wrestling and kickboxing. Combine Sambo with BJJ and Judo, and maybe a little Krav Maga, and you'll be a SAVAGE in a self-defense situation.

He is totally correct regarding scenarios and determining the situation. But if you have to fight on the street, boxing and being a quick runner is very effective. Most street fights start standing and being able to effectively neutralize your opponent with one or two strikes is more effective than grappling on the street.

This is great response to the age old question of which style is better. He’s right though, in any kind of possible hand to hand conflict there are so many variables it’s almost impossible to give a confident answer to that.
