Martial arts are a great way of protecting yourself from street violence. Krav Maga is one type of self-defense system that teaches many techniques for street fighting. Be aware of your body weight when fighting on the streets. A stronger person will likely be able to defeat a weaker one.
Combat Sambo
Combat Sambo is a kind of wrestling. It's more of self-defence sport than a competitive one. It was first developed in the Soviet Union by the Red Army, NKVD. It's similar to judo, but it allows leg locks and chokes. It also has fewer restrictions regarding gripping.
There are two types of combat Sambo: stand up Combat Sambo or grappling Combat Sambo. Standing-up Combat Sambo relies on striking techniques like elbows and knees while grappling Sambo concentrates on subduing and fighting from the ground. In a street fight, each competitor is allowed a certain amount of time to grapple on the ground. The opponent is not permitted to elbow or knee the competitor.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a highly effective martial art that can be used in street fights and many people are interested in learning it to improve their self-defense skills. BJJ can be a lifesaver when you are in danger. Street fights usually end on the floor. BJJ is not only a competitive sport but also teaches grappling techniques that can help keep the attacker off balance, without using strikes.
Street fighting is very different to traditional MMA. Street fighting puts the focus on the fight and not on the endurance. The goal is for the fight to be over as soon as possible. Street fighting is often freestyle. There is no fixed number of rounds. The strength, defense, and weapons of your opponent will all affect the intensity of your attack. Your goal is to remain alive and not be killed. However, it's unlikely your opponent will have the time or resources to stop you.
Muay Thai
Muay Thai is an effective form of self defense. It requires the use of your elbows as well as your knees. It's a great choice for street fights because it requires quick reactions. It is also able to be fought close by and make powerful strikes, which are important in a street fight.
Muay Thai, unlike other forms of martial art, is full contact. Being hit by an opponent can cause shock and trauma. Particularly if this is the first contact with an aggressive person. This shock can cause people freeze and make them vulnerable.
MMA
MMA is undoubtedly one of the most exciting forms of combat sport in the world. While it isn't the most suitable sport for street fights, a seasoned MMA fighter can dominate a street fight. Street fights are fast and the adrenaline-pumped men can swing at each other at speeds of up to 100 miles an hour. Street fights often end with one person on the ground and the winner is decided quickly.
One major difference between MMA & Boxing is that MMA focuses only on teaching effective fighting skills against one opponent. While this might not work against multiple attackers, it will teach proper techniques and how to assess a situation properly.
Taekwondo
Taekwondo is one of the most effective striking martial arts in the world, with millions of practitioners worldwide. It has been practiced for centuries, and there are numerous schools and instructors. The art teaches powerful hitting techniques and can be successful both standing and on the ground. You must also be disciplined and focus to complete the full body workout.
Taekwondo's effectiveness in street fights is less than it is in competitions. But you can still apply it to your own safety and that of your body. To attack the opponent's lower part, you can use a 45-degree kick. It is often the most vulnerable. Although not as powerful than other Taekwondo kicks it can land as a surprise attack against your opponent.
