    Kenpo X or Tae Bo? Your opinions.


    GO!

    neither of those are real fighting...

    for general on the street fighting, its hard to beat Krav Maga.... augmented closely by good weapon training, mostly handguns in the US.


    beyond that, theres sport fighting that transfers over... you have your general MMA and BJJ combo, Kickboxing,muay thai, etc ...
    behind that your usual point sport fighting Gi BJJ, Karati, etc...



    but really, sport is sport, and not street fighting.. you want to win, you fight dirty.. you want to train to fight dirty and win, you train Krav Maga.

    Just started a Krav Maga course. Holy hell, it's dangerous just to learn it. Guy got his thumb broken during the first session. But, man is it awesome.

    LOL this is a great thread. In my humble experience not getting in to one is the only real win. That being said a god old KO is great then a good choke.

    I agree.

    And, I would add in Systema & Jeet Kune Do as "true" no holds barred fighting styles.

    The original suggestions seem to be more exercise related than self defense oriented.

    Ninjutsu if you want to be really cool.
    Capoeira if you like to dance.
    Krav Maga if you want to win.
    Smith and Wesson if you want to win and not get punched in the first place.
    Avoidance if at ALL possible.
    Chuck Norris if you'd rather just stay home and "have it handled"
    The Police (aka Po Po) if you want to report who beat you up and that you would very much like a ride to the hospital

    I guess man. But I can honestly say that in my entire adult life that "s***t" has never just happened for no reason. It's all about if you put yourself in an environment where it can happen.

    Though, yes, sometimes things DO happen regardless.

    Im reminded of that scene in 'Fight Club' where that days 'homework' is to try and start a fistfight with a total stranger.... and some people find it incredibly hard to do.
