What is the best martial art to learn how to fight people?

t. having never grappled a day in his life.

Boxing will make you good at striking with your hands, Muay Thai will make you good at striking with everything else, wrestling will make you good at taking people down, and BJJ will make you good at ground fighting. There are some other valid responses (Sambo, Judo, etc), but these are the most common martial arts used in MMA and they cover pretty much everything
Oh and I shouldn't have to say this, but obviously you can't do these all at the same time

t. having never actually been in a fight

Unless you're agressive as fuck, martial arts are gonna hold you back in a street fight because they condition your mind to expect things within the confines of the discipline. I've trained several arts, and am an accomplished grappler, and never have I ever trained how to deal with being kicked in the back of the head; or glassed; or mobbed by niggers.

Quote me with all your ow the edge pics in the world, but the only way to get good at fighting on the streets is to grow up fighting on the streets. And jail. which is where I spent a considerable amount of time relearning how to fight after learning how to fight.

Listen to me, user. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, beats a well placed pipe bomb.

Fighting or defending your self from death?

Big difference. Avoid fighting at all costs, it is expensive and you go to prison. Learn situational awareness, don't hang out in bad places, with bad people at bad times. Know your exits, and run fast.

MMA is the barometer for unarmed
martial arts. Two areas, to focus on striking, grappling. Both are usefull.

Kali is the GOAT for weapons.
Guns are the end all be all.

All depends how much time and energy you put into.

Quick drawing and roll falling to cover. Use dead bodys as a sheild.

Maybe try a shooting competion. IDPA?

Boxing/muay thai + bjj/judo/wrestling

There are other legit styles but the above are fair ubiquitous with the exception of wrestling.

Judo should be done and is often practiced along BJJ.
A lot of gyms have a couple "judo nights".
As for Kyokushin, it is like the only karate worth a fuck. so yeah it is cool.
Oh, and in kyokushin you get to feel a bit like a larpy animu badass, so if you have those tendencies, should go kyokushin.

If you're going the karate route you'd be better served with enshin or kudo. Both allow throws/takedowns and head punches. Admittedly theyre much harder to find though

I train full body 2 days a week, and go to the Dojo 3 times a week, plus an extra day where i just hit the bag and jump rope.
Guess that's my "cardio".
Works pretty fine for me.

I grew up around tough fuckers. the ones who haven't been in fights tell me muay thai is superior for streetfights. I believe this also (never been in a street fight), it just makes sense. it's so versatile, you got kicks, knees, elbows, clinch game. HOWEVER, the toughest fuckers who've been shot at, keep telling me that training boxing is the panacea for street fights. I'm planning on taking on boxing. just seems more fun. amature level boxing seems more exciting than amature level muay thai. more flow. or maybe I've just been shilled by this guy named Raymond who's a boxer and hates muay thai. he was nearly shot a few years back so I might believe him.

Yeah yeah, you have some stupid faggot mcdojo for stupid white boys who're having a midlife crisis to shill.
Tell us all about how tuff you are when you fought off that pack of undesirable ne'er do wells. And how all of them flee from your but scoot.

Boxing + BJJ.

With a few adjustments to classic western boxing technique, you can learn to check kicks and shut down kickboxers.

Why even bother lifting when you know boxing and BJJ? So you can lift the poor meathead gym rat and his useless """muscles""" onto a stretcher when you're done whoopin' """his""" ass?

Catch wrestling if you can find a gym

Literally doesnt exist outside of erik paulson and pro wrestling stables in japan m8

Freestyle wrestling and boxing. If you’re proficient at both you’ll be good at fighting.

Yoga

nah not like that at all, i got my shit caved in because; despite the fact I'm an accomplished martial artist, drawer full of trophies, all that shit: one man can't do fuck all against 6 people except run. Don't try and fight them, you're never ever gonna win.

martial arts may look cool but most of them are for larping le ultimate samurai fantasy
if you really want to know how to fight people boxing or muay thai is your best choice

I live in a small town with no gyms or dojos. How much could I conceivably learn from just watching youtube videos, without a sparring partner? I'm not looking to be a professional fighter, just want to learn enough to give myself a slight edge over the average joe. Also, what would be the best style to learn given these limitations?

You'd learn a lot of bad habits that'd take forever to correct if you decided to learn legit.

>Quote me with all your ow the edge pics in the world, but the only way to get good at fighting on the streets is to grow up fighting on the streets.
Yeah, this is why cops always lose when fighting on the streets against thugs.
Don't start with muh guns, because 'murrica isn't relevant in this case.
Martial art are about winning a fight, even if you don't to brawl to win the fight, e.g. changing route to avoid being ambused.
Most people here think that they fight, but for most of them, it is only squirmish and avoidable shitty situations where their ego or ignorance took the best of them.

Just do wrestling and MOG the fuck outta 99% of people on the streets

get a heavy bag and look up boxing instructions and then be autistic about checking your form for the first few weeks

t. never boxed
Listen to If you don't have feedback you will learn nothing. You boxing bag don't move enough. It doesn't circle you. It doesn't have hands that you'd need to pay attention. It won't try to hit back.
Boxing isn't just extending your arm, rotating your feet and getting back into guard. It's also about positioning ,putting and responding to pressure. Making quick decisions.
These are the skills that will give you an edge against an inexperienced fighter. You can do the perfect Jab cross hook, and still get pushed back into a wall by some aggressive guy throwing large haymakers, unable to do anything because your bag never pushed you in a corner, forcing you to stand strong and reposition yourself/respond in such a situation.

Yes, those old school european styles are the best. All that asian and south american stuff sounds like it was just a big hype.
Greco roman wrestling and
Boxing.

Get lost fatass. Men are talking.

Lifting 3 times a week, rope jumping daily and careful dieting/intermittent fasting alongside my potato hospital job. Could I start boxing in my off days to compliment my workout with balance, coordination, and combat strength?
Or would it be too much and too straining on my body?

Fighting for sport, whichever one you like the most. The advantage each one has other the other is minimal.

Fighting for self defense, the 200m dash. Followed by the .45 carry.

Boxing training (if at a serious gym) is very VERY demanding and straining.
When I started I considered myself to be pretty fit, but the first weeks were absolute hell.
I could barely walk home some days, my body felt like it was falling apart.
Don't think of these as your "off days", since they clearly aren't.
Do light cardio, like the skipping you mentioned or a long easy run on your off days.
Don't lift and box on consecutive days.
After some weeks your body will either adapt to the strain or you will quit, so you might as well try.

your best bet is to learn basic punches and defense for basic punches (like covering your chin)
learning just how to throw a straight will make you better than average joe

key is
>repetition
also work on your cardio

>you can learn to check kicks and shut down kickboxers.

It's not as easy for some people. I sparred against a guy who had a boxing background in muay thai. Way better hands than me, but he kept eating kicks to the body and legs.
