I used to train Judo because I saw my cousin use it to defend himself when I was a kid. I stuck it out for 3 years, right up until I saw my instructor get knocked out by an amateur boxing student in under a few seconds. I realised I would have to train my entire life to protect myself from an average moid who'd been in a few fights. I'm not attacking anyone who wants to train for fitness, discipline or is willing to devote their life to the pursuit of mastery, but a gun or at least a knife is the better option for literally everyone else.

Doesn't that just mean boxing is better than judo?

Hard to say in MMA it seems like strikers get in trouble if the other guy is good at wrestling but the striker can still knock them out if they're strong

Those who are born with such bad senses that they have to walk manually and those who's minds go blank the moment they face someone actually determined to kill them, won't be effective at defending themselves, gun or no gun. But fortunately, avoiding to become a target of violence in the first place is the highest form of martial arts, one only needs "common" sense to practice.

Yes but Judo sounds cooler

yeah it’s called punchers chance. in general though a great grappler has a better chance against a one dimensional striker. wrestlers tend to have better cardio. I used to think wrestling was boring as fuck but there’s some interesting ones in ufc right now

I took taekwando when I was younger so I always root for stikers. I don't really watch ufc at all. I know some of the main heavy weights like jon jones or Chuck lidell were mostly striker. McGregor would box and kick a lot, but I think he was mostly know for submissions a lot too. So hard to say which is the best thing. I just know 90% of the time when a strikers goes up again a wrestler it's kind of cringe because they can just hump them in the corner if they arent special like the ones I mentioned. Keep in mind I never watch this only high lights or big fights so I probably don't know what I'm talking about

No way wrestlers have better cardio than boxing.

No you’re right! I hate when they just hug each other for 3 rounds. I wish the refs would break it up more often when there’s no real damage being done

It might not look like much but it takes a lot of full body strength and energy to control your opponent like that. I’ve never wrestled though so it’s not like I can really say.

A wrestling match is seven minutes. A boxing match is almost 50 minutes. There's no way the average boxer has less endurance than the average wrestler.

>>301874
Oh you’re right, I wasn’t even thinking about that. I mainly watch ufc and there’s some superhuman grapplers like Merab. I’ve seen too many of my favorite strikers get mauled because they gas too quickly
