Jeet Kun Do , Muay Thai or Ninjitsu...

You don't learn martial art to kill or injure other people. That is not the purpose of martial art. Also, to reach deadly levels, you'll need to practise it for years, otherwise, you'll be the one getting injured or killed instead of your opponents.
If you're talking about real fight without rules, anything goes since there is no rule.
Tai Chi is good because you can practise it for life.
If you want to learn practical martial art, you can take a look at Wing Chun Kuen. http://www.geocities.com/wingchun_sg/
But don't learn martial art to fight, it's not good la. -
think bout it this way, the essence of martial arts was never to hurt ppl till ppl started thinking bout how good they were etc. it was always for self defence.
the way of the ninga was never meant to be like this, it was made for killing.
well those instructors in muay thai, tkd etc might not teach u the vital spots for some of some lunatics, they do know where they are too. -

I care.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:It's against martial arts ethics to strike vital points. It may be the best, but moral values wise, it could well be the first from the bottom. -
Muay Thai is the best!!!

For us ladies, grappling (ground work) will come into handy the most.. like judo, jujitsu... Coz most in danger of 1-on-1 assault by pervs.. Imagine this perv creeps up on u thinking he's gonna have his day .. then u juz disarm him and choke him out while calmly calling the cops on ur sleek cellphone.
For men, depends on ur pref la. Although if u go n search on net, u'll find that most fighting styles lose out in real 1-on-1 fights if they don't incorporate grappling techniques.. after a Brazilian Jiujitsu user pwned some of the world's most powerful fighters using submission grappling techniques, many martial arts scrambled to incorporate similar moves in order to counter it..
Ideally for guys, u'd wanna have a good mix of both ground work and attack techniques to tackle both 1-on-1 and group situations.
Dun look at me, my fiance drives me crazy with all his talk abt jiujitsu and muay thai.. always wanna show me some new grappling technique he just learnt, or ask me to look at his shins "I dun need a weapon, I've got two mean nightsticks right here, HYAH, HYAH!!!"

Now muay thai has become effective muay thai. All the things u learn is the most effective part of muay thai almost all the katas is filtered out due to the nature of quick training for competition.
i would consider muay thai a sport, no so an art, its not like karate, which have spiritual elements to better yourself.
muay thai is for hurting/killing, plain and simple.
it dont claim to be anything else.
i personally really dont care about the "Art" part or the philosophical nonsense...
i learn to defend my loved ones, i learn to protect myself, i learn so that i know how to kill, if i have to.
thats why i chose muay thai, i have become a very confident man because of that, i have knocked out a few people... and i have nothing to prove..
but i have been knocked out before too, many times and bloodied nose
but what ever you choose, be sure to enjoy it[/b] -
one important reason for people to learn martial arts is for self defense. I dont actually see whats wrong in striking vital areas when one is in danger... maybe not during sparring or tournaments... but if you cant defend yourself in different environment and situations whereby your attackers are trying to KILL you..then if u learn some martial arts that isint deadly, then i dont see the point in learning it at all... =D
just my point of view. i do karate and a huge portion of it involves striking at vital parts as well, but we dont use such stuff in tournaments... -
well u just have to face the consequence of yr action. in singapore court self defence might not be a good enough excuse for killingOriginally posted by Allen.Iverson:one important reason for people to learn martial arts is for self defense.

it depends on what u want to do.. u asked what is the most effective in real life situations..
first of all, if u ever get into such a predicament, the first option is to make peace, and not fighting, of course if peace dont work , then fight, but u tried to make peace first, so u not in the wrong anymore right? haha
i think muay thai is a very effective, no nonsense art/system, its very straight forward. elbows and knees can usually send the agressor to lala land.
and the punches and kicks are pretty nasty too.
jeet kune do, although i never seen it done "live" b4, i think is pretty effective too. the diffrence ,my kru told me is that JKD put their strongest side infront,contrary to most styles with the strong side behind.
which i logically think will be a more defensive tactic, and not much offensive.
we all seen in youtube and etc, time and time again muay thai have beaten many styles of striking, but then again, it maybe the practitioner.
also in the street u will encounter people who will take the fight to the ground
that is when it gets ugly and gritty, nothing u see on bruce lee films(seldom are fights like on film)
u really want to walk confidently on the streets, u gotta learn some ground grappling to, i feel, or at least a way of tackling or taking down an agressor -
REAL fights without rules, are no holds barred, vale-tudo.Originally posted by markzz:......which martial art is most useful in real life situations?
Jeet Kun Do = Bruce Lee's style of Martial Arts...all redundant movements are removed to make this style efficient and fast to execute.
Muay Thai= Focus on energy strikes with the bony parts of the body to execute as much pain and damage on the oponent as possible.
Ninjitsu= The Ninja's martial arts. Focus on taking down an opponent as quickly as possible by attacking all the weak spots simultaneously.
which style do u think is best in a REAL fight without rules?
most vale-tudo, ufc, NHB , MMA fighters incorporate, muay thai and graplling techniques, because it simply works
