Is there any martial art i can learn all by myself?

>Bags don't hit back
Build yourself a "flying bag" then. Those hit back quite well.

>Start with shadow boxing to learn proper technique. Then learn some easy Combos
This is a troll
You can work and grow, but realize that you will be building bad habits, and that you will run into issues when you join an actual gym due to the habits you’ve built up

I guess you could, but if you never train against a live target, you're really going to be unprepared for that situation. Especially since you don't know what it's like to get hit.
The best option really is to get a coach, any coach, and supplement your classes with DVDs. I found that the bulk of what I learned was always outside of class, since class only teaches 1-2 techniques at a time, and they don't always correspond to the game that works best for you.

I can tell you from experience that there isn't much difference between sparring and no sparring. Real fighting is about mentality and you don't get the mentality by sparring. This is something everyone understand except American internet warriors for some reason (then again, you soldiers understand it quite well).

>Especially since you don't know what it's like to get hit.
Again, a thing of mentality. No sparring in the world will help you if you have a weak mental game. Sparring a lot will just make you more fearful and give you brain damage. Look up how the pros outside the US train.

No, the best way is to get a good coach. Now, everyone thinks their coach is great, but really, most coaches are shit.

Talking sports:
Find someone who produces a lot of champions - if your coach doesn't then he isn't a good coach, it's that simple. If that isn't available, you're really, really better off doing things yourself or with a buddy. I'm not kidding, I wasted years with bad coaches in the past, so learn from my errors.

For self-defense, it's quite a bit harder to find good teachers, though. And sports and self-defense are completely different animals, too. You guys will realize this when you get older or get into more fights.

Sort of, but not really. A pussy who knows has years of muscle memory and experience will beat the tough guy who hasn't spent a day in training.

You're not supposed to hit your training partners hard in sparring, lol. If you're getting brain damage then you're picking the wrong partners.
Anyway, this only applies to striking. With grappling, sparring only helps.

That's an interesting way of looking at it, but I would argue that the benefit of having numerous partners to train with greatly outweighs the downside of having the wrong coach.

>For self-defense, it's quite a bit harder to find good teachers, though. And sports and self-defense are completely different animals, too. You guys will realize this when you get older or get into more fights.
True self-defense is awareness, running or buying a gun.

Nope.
What about defensive boxing

>I can tell you from experience that there isn't much difference between sparring and no sparring.
Ah you have shit all experience then.
>Look up how the pros outside the US train.
Most of those spar on regular basis too, around 2-3x a week in most of Europe. The japs doing judo spar 4x a week, at least according to a guy at my dojo who went there on business for around a year.
Stop talking out your ass, what experience do you actually have?

You might be able to learn how to throw a punch and maybe a couple of simple combos but you'll struggle to do more than that. It really depends on you goals. Martial autists on Jow Forums think you need to be a world class fighter to be able to defend yourself against a drunken nig.

based retards

you NEED a coach or a big mirror and even then you will be making tons of mistakes, you better not engrain inefficient movements in you combos that leave you wide open.
also how the fuck will you actually get good?
you get good by fucking sparring not by punching an immovable object, another human will punish you, if you aren't blocking and you actually learn the hard way, and you have to switch up depending on the opponent.

Maybe take a weekend trip (or any 2/3 day trip) to a larger city and visit a few gyms. Find one that will give you a couple of lessons in boxing (or whatever discipline) while youre in town.

Then practice on your own and return to the gym every couple of months just to check in?

Also audio or video record the lessons if they'll let you.

Go to BJJ or kickboxing class. It's much more fun and efficient having someone to spar with
