Martial arts

What martial arts are you doing Jow Forums? I know that most Jow Forumsommandos do not bother much with what a normie would term martial arts. After all, is not a gun stronger than a fist? However, this attitude is stupid. Guns are held in fists. If you want to be a great fighting Jow Forumsommando you must learn martial arts to a level which would impress even a normie.

Why is hand-to-hand combat often called "martial arts" in English?

Martial means war, which makes sense, but war has evolved much farther than using sharp or blunt weapons, let alone fists.

Think about it: gorilla warfare has been around for the past hundred of years or more. Gorilla warfare may have hand-to-hand combat incorporated into it, but usually it involves using guns in hit and run tactics nowadays.

The Native Americans of long ago are great examples of gorilla fighters. It took an extra century practically to kill them off, even with, initially at least, superior weapons. At the battle of Little Big Horn, Custer and his men were slaughtered because the Native Americans had, not only numbers, but better rifles too. That's kind of on a tangent though because that really wasn't gorilla warfare in my opinion.

Gorilla fighters even exist today in Africa. They can be found throughout Africa on raids destroying villages, raping women, and killing children. Often times, it is hard to find footage of these gorilla fighters because they are so sly. They have been portrayed in media though. Here is an example from memories of a survivor of a gorilla attack:

Anyways, back on the main topic, I think that the phrase "martial arts" is misused because gorilla fighters who use ranged weapons exist today. The armies that do exist today do not, in large part use, Muay Thai fighters who use elbows and fists, not the legions of Rome (they were in large part successful because they had each soldier carry multiple pilum into battle en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilum) who mostly used shield and gladius, nor the masterfully crafted katana of the samurai which, like many of their noodles, have been folded thousands of times.

TL;DR: If you hear someone speak of "martial arts" so highly when they are specifically speaking about hand-to-hand combat please remind them of the things in this post.

Ok nerd

The way I've always heard it is kickboxing for when you're not on the ground, wrestling to get to the ground, then jiu jitsu for when you're on the ground. That being said I only train jiu jitsu because I know a few takedowns from wrestling and I've had enough head injuries that I can't afford to train in kickboxing.
