Which martial arts are actually good? Like apart from obvious ones like judo, kick/boxing, muay thai, wrestling, (real wrestling, not song and dance pro "wrestling") and bjj.

And pro wrestlers are probably not so bad at real fighting

Isn't that just ghetto muay thai?
>And pro wrestlers are probably not so bad at real fighting
Yeah but that's not exactly because of their pro wrestling experience.

Gun is a very practical and effective martial art with diverse focuses on accuracy to rapid close combat drills (and still accurate enough to hit the closer targets).
Funny enough airsoft and paintball share some things in common.

Being open to pressure testing is good, being open to pressure from external styles, better.

Unironically all of them.
So long as they've got a good teacher and teach in a way that is correct to the original idea.
Even shit like Ninjutsu, Wing Chun, or fucking Systema work. So long as they're trained in in the correct way.

That's Sambo. Most systema videos are magic chi hypnosis sort of things that somehow never show up outside of their dojo.

Systema it’s literally made up nonsense. Sambo was the martial art the Russians came up with. Systema was made up by a scam artist that alleged that he was taught a secret kgb martial art that was so secret there’s no secret documents of its existence in the Russian government.

sumo. true is that being big but also agile is the most important factor in any fight. sumo is great at maintaining a strong base and not falling over. what is a kickboxer going to do when I push him over? nothing.

Being muscular=/=being fat. Being big like sumo wrestlers will kill you more likely than any street fighter or martial artist.

is right, you sound like you dont know shit. With your dumbass snarky "backs up slightly" have you seen sumo matches? Next you're gonna say you were pretending to be retarded right? These dudes are like rugby players or linemen in football. Being big doesnt mean being slow or lacking enough endurance to make your point moot you fucking retard.

Sumo wrestlers can actually move pretty quickly, their weight makes it hard for them to slow down and they have a lot of stamina so they could keep up for quite a while.

Sumo wrestlers are both, they only start to suffer from their weight when they retire and don't keep up with their ridiculous training regimen.
Of course in spite of all that, I don't know if I'd count sumo as a "good martial art," it's a fascinating sport but it's way too narrow a skillset to meet the standards that make other styles as good as they are, that's why guys with backgrounds in judo and mongolian wrestling do so well in sumo.

That’s interesting but I don’t think anyone would argue that machida represented sumo in MMA considering he was most known for his evasive striking. His style arguably the opposite of sumo where evasive techniques are viewed as pussy shit.

Machida used sumo esque holds for takedowns a couple of times including against Tito Ortiz. But honestly if you consider some of the karate takedowns he pulled off too that literally no one else has ever done in mma lol. Imagine if he had just done wrestling all that time I dono seems he had a very good grasp of balance not jut timing for striking.

Olympic Fencing, unironically.
The sport is 100% timing, distance, footwork, and reads. The skills are transferrable, and it will rapidly improve your striking game.

Not really a martial art per se, though. He'd probably tell you to just go do wrestling and BJJ.

This makes sense to me. Not a fencer, but semi-related fun fact, Arnis techniques are meant to transfer between armed & unarmed fighting. There is a lot of mechanical similarities between the actions.
>>151467
Practice arnis & walk around with a machete.
