Recommend a martial art that is useful in a street brawl and can be learned by someone over 20.?
I want to hear some ideas and suggestions for a martial art that is useful in real life situations.
For example, back when I was in school, we had a kid who was a brown belt in karate. He was so proud… One day this shorter, but very angry kid jumped on him, and totally beat him down. The karate man didnt even get one punch off. Attempted a scissor takedown but missed. The brawler won that fight outright. Just kept swinging away like crazy.
Also, I heared some martial arts require a person to be able to do a split, or be able to tumble – something that an adult would have trouble doing compared to a kid. Is there any martial arts that are better and easier for adults, yet remain useful on the street?
Sorry if I gave anyone the impression that I want to learn a martial art so that I can kick ass… That is not true at all, and I never said that.
I wanted a martial art that is useful in a street brawl so that I can defend myself, when the situation calls for it. Both my body and my spirit are pathetically weak, so I was looking for something that will improve me and will make me strong in “real life” not just on the mat.
