what is the most effective street fighting move?
96630
Ok, I'm gonna stop this one with one fell swoop. There is NO cure-all one move to win anything. Period. With that said, I can direct you along a path of finding a martial art that fits you:\n\nKarate: Okinawan. Covers Percussion. Civil Art. Kara- meaning open or empty depending on translation. -te originally meant Chinese Hand but they later changed it to just hand after the Chinese were driven out. Derived from White Crane Kung Fu. Believes in hardening the body against strikes and striking hard is the key.\n\nKung Fu: External Chinese. Most cover percussion, projection, and armament, with a few covering immobilization as well. Usually either martial or civil art. There are SO many systems within the term kung fu that it is hard to describe this system effectively. To say the least the best Kung Fu I have seen was in Dallas, and was translated to the Water-Fire Kung Fu.\n\nAikido / Aiki-jujutsu: Japanese. Covers immobilization with slight touch on projection. Civil Art. Was originally derived from Nihongo Jujutsu or Japanese Jujutsu (honestly I hate that I have to specify WHICH jujutsu compared to Brazilian or American… as if you would get an French taco or Russian sushi). Aikido has sadly become one of the snobbiest “styles” out there and they insist that what they do would work in real combat, although only about 10% of EVERYONE who is involved with that system knows what they’re doing. Though I will admit those that do, can do some beautiful Aiki.\n\nJudo: Japanese. Covers projection. Sport Art. Another derivative of Nihongo Jujutsu. A sport derived from the throwing system used in Japan’s combat. As with all sports, there are certain things that they threw out as “illegal moves” due to their effectiveness therefore making the “style” weaker.\n\nBrazilian: Japanese origin. Covers a portion of Immobilization and Projection. Martial Sport. This “style” was made famous by the Gracie family after they were originally taught by a Japanese man who refused to show them any more than the grappling section of Jujutsu. So they concentrated on the art of ground fighting. Most people that do Brazilian are extremely competitive and aggressive in nature.\n\nTaekwondo: Korean. Percussion. Sport Art. This is a primarily kicking “style” and is considered one of the most famous “styles” in use. Another system that is sport / competition based they rely heavily on flexible and fast legs. Originally a derivative from a certain school of Karate which name eludes me at this moment.\n\nKrav Maga: Israeli. Um… Percussion? Military wannabe. I REALLY don’t suggest this system unless you’re looking for a Billy Blanks on steroids kinda feel. This system was built to teach the foot soldiers of Israel a quick, brutal and less than effective hand-to-hand fighting method in a matter of a week, so seriously, don’t bother.\n\nThose Russian arts: Mainly knife junkies who think they know what they’re doing. More flashy than anything else, don’t fall for the hype.\n\nPilipino: Mostly Stick and knife, and they are not for the faint of heart, although not much art to the system, it seems those whom you can find who actually know what they’re doing are pretty good with a knife and stick but that’s it.\n\nMMA: Mixed martial arts. Probably the worst thing that has ever happened to martial arts besides Krav maga. The concept of mixing martial arts is taking a system that is inferior and mixing it with another inferior system to hopefully make up for the gaps left by the other one. For example: Karate doesn’t have Immobilization, so lets throw in Aikido and Brazilian, and those don’t have projection so lets throw in Judo, and all of those don’t have armament so lets throw in Pilipino. \n\nThere are zillions of others that I’ve missed because in order to catch them all, I’d have to write a book, which is stupid, but here’s the names of a few so you can look them up: Savate, Kenpo, san shou, shuai-chiao, gr

The best form of combat is Ju Box Fu it is a combination of Brazilian Jujitsu,Muay Thai kickboxing and kungFu if you have time to include wrestling you cant be beaten. \nIf someone is bigger and stronger you can take them to the ground and use your Jujitsu witch is very easy to learn and very effective. If your opponent is smaller and faster you can use you size and strength and strike them Kungfu is very unorthodox with back fists and kicking techniques they are hard to defend however it takes a long time to learn this style so start with kickboxing witch has a lot of basic power attacks.\nJujitsu is the best form for a 1 on 1 street fight but if you are faced with more than 1 opponent you will need to know your striking.\nIf you only have time to practise and learn 1 style i recommend Jujitsu if you study it for one year you can easily beat a 15 year Martial Artist from any of the classical styles (Karate,Boxing,KungFu,Judo or wrestling) witch are useless unless you both now the same style.\nIt is also very hard to find a Ju Box Fu school as it is a relatively new style so good luck.

systems? like styles?\nyou can get real specific like\nmonkey style kung fu\naikido aikikai\naikido kokikai\ntaekwondo\nishin-ryu\nching style tai chi etc...\n\nstrategies? not sure what you mean.\nYou can be defensive or offensive, be a striker, grappler, or joint-locker.  Strategy has to do with the big picture, like do you want to incapacitate, kill, distract long enough to get away, etc...\n\nTactics are what you use to accomplish that strategy, so if my strategy is to kill, I would use offensive tactics, like throat strikes, or vital point strikes as opposed to grappling or locking.  If my strategy is to hold someone until the police arrive, i will use the opposite tactics.

I feel all martial arts have something to offer. In a realistic street fight you have to know have to fight from all ranges. I cross train in Judo and Brazilian Jujitsu. I also spar with my buddies who take muai thai. In my opinion you have to cross train to be ready for all situations.

Well that depends. Are you tryin to be a street balla or you just playin some one on one? An easy way to impress your friends is to pull a move on one of them and kinda embarass them. I was doin some moves on one of my friends in one on one and i had him on the ground so i went right by him lol. I aint the street balla type so if thats the type of moves you lookin for look at other answers. But just practice between the legs behind the back and look up some other dribbling drills and in games you can do moves like fake crossovers, one or two hands. or another one to do is if you get good at putting it back and forth between your legs just keep puttin it in between your legs and wait for him to lean one way then fly right by him to the hoop. you can also try the behind the back, spin moves, etc. look some moves up on the internet or id reccomend the Better Basketball Better BAll Handling video. you can download it on limewire..

I am told by those who know that most martial arts are not really designed as self defence systems. Most contain certain archaic moves such as top knot grabs and sword arm blocks.\nYou must also take into account the situation you might find yourself in. I was attacked in the street once and it was very scary I would have to have been very well drilled to be able to utilize any techniques I had learned (which I wasn't)therefore you would need to be a black belt in at least one Martial art and close to black in at least one other to be confident of winning the day unscathed as it were.\nYou must also remember that most attackers / muggers will usually not attack you head on (in case you are a martial arts expert) most "Jump" their victim from behind in order to get them on the floor as quickly as possible.\nTherefore, in order to finally answer your question I would learn one "grappling" martial art Ju Jitsu or Aikido and one "Striking" one Probably Wu Shu or Kung Fu, though the fighting form of Tai Chi is said to be very good.

All attacks can be lethal if struck in the right spot. Kicks to the head are very dangerous but if you want to knock someone out you are best to aim for the chin with a straight cross or overhand right. if you elbow someone in the jaw or better yet a knee they will be down and out if you are accurate you don't need much power. \n\nKeep training little dragon and tuck in your chin.

Pokes to the throat(aim for the Adams apple area) and eyes are very effective. Your thumb will work best, but any fingers will work. I have also been known to use a "fish hook" in the mouth or arm pit. If you can grab an ear, twist it. Mom's do that for a reason! Twisting fingers can make the toughest person back off. If all else fails grab hair, and not just on the head. We teach our students to go for chest hair, arm pit hair, what ever will make the attacker react. Once they react, you have the upper hand, take it. I would use it to exit the vehicle if possible.  Not every situation can be trained for. Part of learning is to visualize your normal situations, and build your own defense moves, and plan of action. Try to practice with a partner so you can see how a person reacts to each attack, it will help you to figure out your next move.

Boxing or kickboxing. Fewer moves and early sparring will yield faster results than the rest of the styles. Still, it will take dedication and hard work. The tough boxers didn't get that way without blood and sweat.

Lean to the left, lean to the right, stand up, sit down Fight Fight Fight!\n\ngreat for getting the crowd involved.

Muay Thai because its the funnest to watch,  you can knock people out with elbows, feet, knees, hands, shins, i've even seen people get kicked with the heel of a foot and go to sleep.\nor Ju Jitsu because its smart, its the perfect way to neutralize someone who is a better striker then you.

You can play an old street game called "Kick The Can" =-)

Brazilian Jiu jitsu is the best ground game strategy in mma. Wrestling has too many techniques that don't help you in a mma match. Muy Thai can be used with BJJ to give you a good all around game.

Not nice having a busted face is it?  3 pieces of advice:\n1st and best:  Don't get into brawls!  Don't get guys mad at you.  Avoid places where people tend to brawl.  There is a vast difference between any type of tournament fighting including what is taught in a lot of martial arts schools even purported "street fighting instructors".  A street fight is chaos, I think only nutty folks think its fun, and the safest course is to avoid it all together.  You never know who's got a buddy waiting to kick in your head once he gets you down, or who's got 4 buddies.  Know matter what you see on Bruce Lee movies, if you've got 3 guys after you, even if you’re a great fighter, unarmed you have once chance in a hundred.  The problem is you never really know in a street situation.  You never know who will pull a knife, a can of mace, or a gun.  Get the heck out of any fight you can.  I've seen a ton of people very messed up and some dead or with brain damage in the hospitals I've worked at who started with a little brawl.  Only fight if there is no way out or it’s a nice controlled tournament with safety, rules, and refs, and try to be savvy enough not to get into a street fighting position in the first place.  There are very few fights that you can't talk your way out of or run from, or just get a shot or two in and run from before things get ugly or law gets involved or you end up really hurting someone else.  Why are you in street fights in the first place?  Again an ounce of avoidance can be worth a ton of fighting skill.  \nWith that said some fights are unavoidable; \n2nd advice:  Tailor your response to the level of threat presented by the bad guy.  If he punches you, and you gouge his eyeball out, or rip his ear off you will likely have some legal problems, not to mention you’re being a morally deficient guy.  But then again better to be tried by a jury of 12 peers than have your coffin carried by 6.  You should know stand up (Boxing, Thai Boxing, adding in some dirty tricks like eye jabs, head butts, and groin shots and weapons:  guns, knives, and sticks/bars/bottles/chairs/etc.) fighting first for street situations.  Mix in a bit of ground fighting but hope you can stay on your feet in a real situation.  Realize also that you very well may end up on the ground (if you’re a good dirty stand up fighter probably not 80% of the time like a lot of people say) so know how to get back to your feet and save yourself from getting your brain kicked in.\n On the ground especially know proper bighting, eye-gouging, small joint manipulation=grabbing finger/toe or two crushing and twisting, and fish-hooking=inserting fingers into mouth, nose, other body cavities and ripping.  Real life ground is a desperate game… possibly of life or death, so you basically want to learn how to use everything that's illegal in competitions.  Mainly you need some desperate know how to get back to your feet, and avoid the ground in the first place.  In tournaments ground fighting is usually king, but in a street fight do you really want to take a guy to the ground for an arm bar and then get shot in the head by his buddy who just pulled up or jumps out of the bushes, or get kicked unconscious?  Also you just can't take two guys at the same time on the ground even if you are bigger and stronger and better than either, trust me I've tried.  You might stand a chance against 2 on your feet though because with your mobility on your feet you position yourself so can take one at a time.  Learn weapons like knife, stick and improvised weapons because you may face them, and you may need to use them if faced with multiple attackers.    \nTournament fighting however can be fun (if you really have a taste for extreme sports), and relatively “safe”.  They have rules even in “No Holds Bared” competitions that prevent most of the really nasty realities of street fighting.  Like no head butts, no groin sho

The easiest way to prevent a knockout is to not get hit. Thats what the name of the game is 'Hit and not get hit'. Its easier said than done but quick reflexes prevent a lot of hits. Also remember to stay on your toes. If you stand flatfotted you will catch every bit of the force of the punch. If on your toes, you can roll away from the punch.

I would probably say that Jeet-Kune do (JKD)is the most effective form of fighting style there is.  It was developed by the late Bruce Lee and combined techniques using various styles - including techniques from American Boxing, Wing Chun, and French Fencing.\nPeople can go on for a lifetime saying which is the best style but how can one compare with so many styles and variables in any fight situation?  It is about preference and what one looks for in a Martial Art - wether you want a style that just uses the hands or both hands and feet...or perhaps one that protects against knives etc. etc.\nPlus it depends on how good you are - a brilliant green belt in Karate could take out a poor black belt in another style of Karate but who is to say it is the fighters' ability or the flaws in Martial Arts style?

You might try asking #1 street magic.  There's a link below. \n\nBTW, I have a copy of how he does some of his magic tricks.  Very interesting!
