which martial art is the strongest in a streetfight?

[tonni]

i am going to have to say aikido.

Krav Maga + MMA (there is a fair bit of overlap) are the most effective in a real fight. Krav Maga basically just takes the most effective fighting techniques from various other martial arts and combines them. So you'll see techniques from Muay Thai, MMA, JJ, etc. all being used.

Jeet Kune Do should be very good as well.

The best style is no style. You take from all the styles and use what actually works and leave the rest. It’s called “mixed martial arts”. And who will win a fight depends on how good the person is. Unless I am sparring I wouldn’t use it just to beat the crap out of someone because I take martial arts myself.

I'm not very familiar with it but it looks interesting.
MCMAP is another one I've looked into, but most people don't seem to like it. I don't know how much application it would have in the real world either. A lot of it focuses on handling various weapons (guns, knives, bayonets), which you aren't too terribly likely to encounter/possess in most situations.

Discussions like this just make me want to watch fake martial art masters now. I can watch that while polishing my projectile weapons.

I have absolutely no style and i did surprisingly well in a street fight once.

Street fights are terribly unbalanced (no frame of reference of course, cough). Anyway that is a young mans game. Hypothetically speaking someone must of had the luck of the Irish back in the day.

ya the most famous styles are usually that way because they were perfect for one or two individuals who more or less 'made' that 'style.' Realistically the 'best style' depends on you.

Also it depend on our body and mind strength too. Good martial art with weak body strength and mindset vs average martial art with average body strength and mindset. Anyone can win. The balancing in everything. That why life need balancing in everything we do and thing. Nothing perfect but we can try to be better.

There isn't a single best one, they can all be effective at the end of the day, it really boils down to the individual. There are also so many variants of each of them around the world.

For an actual fight i can assure you Aikido is completely useless.

Boxing, all kick boxing forms, wrestling, jujitsu, jiujutsu etc are what works. If they don't use it on MMA you know it won't work.

Spot on man! I read your comment with Joe Rogan's voice in my head.

BJJ is overrated af. It's just a more agressive style of Judo, ffs.

BJJ is highly focused on ground combat, there's a lot in it from Judo though.

I think Rogan has said just what i said, lol. Still, its true. MMA fighters train like mad, do ♥♥♥♥ ton of sparring, practicing and perfecting everything. One might think their local Mc dojo makes them survive 10 guys jumping on them, but they understand pretty soon when fighting against someone who have fought before, that Aikido, or Tak kwon do or whatever crap they trained will end up them dying.

If they don’t use it in MMA its guaranteed waste of time. Real fights are UGLY, messy and complete opposite from movies or games. You simply can’t do any fancy hand locks or ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ somersault jumping tornado kicks and paralysing snake fist ♥♥♥♥, lol, againts someone who is full of adre and tense.

well, there's a reason so many martial arts are weapon forms.

in terms of pure unarmed combat larger people tend to have an advantage, but as soon as you introduce a weapon the physics and body mechanics tend to favor smaller combatants.

but I agree with what you're saying, balancing your development is absolutely essential. I think many of the criticisms leveled at forms like aikido or t'ai chi or krav maga is that they are "too balanced" and "have no real strength" or "are a waste of time" compared to something really simple but effective like boxing or jkd.

But, well, boxing is pretty useless if somebody kicks or grapples you and jkd falls apart if the fight lasts for longer than 30 minutes or so. Their lack of balance becomes a critical weakness, although one which still requires good martial arts to exploit.

The same fundamental principle applies to swordsmanship, because frankly swords are kind of terrible despite the fact that they have a reasonable chance to remain effective against any given weapon. Even if it's basically impossible for them to advance against, say, a spearman or a shooter, they can still deny territory and force defensive advantages to compensate.

It winds up becoming a case of 'chasing the dragon,' and I think it's important to note that 'kung fu' or 'gong fu' literally just means "hard work," and with hard work just about anything can work out.

...I'm not sure where to fit this but I feel it bears mentioning that Krav Maga is mostly good as an anti-weapon art and leaves a few things to be desired in terms of unarmed combat. I think the encouraged response is usually to draw a weapon, since if they also draw one you'll still have the advantage. I'm also not sure if it is responsible for the development of rifle-based striking techniques, but it's one of the most-developed in that regard.
