What is the best martial art for a pirate?

Assuming we’re talking about historical pirates and close quarters fighting on a ship, I would say probably judo or Muay Thai. I feel like the throws in judo and kicks in Muay Thai would allow you to put people into the water off the ship. Then in really close quarters, being able to throw elbows and knees while doing work in the clinch would serve you well.

Savate.

>kicking form leaves hands open to grabbing parts of the ship for balance
Throw in weapons training and I dunno, sumo for throwing people overboard and you've got a solid pirate system.

Anything with oil checks.
So you can plunder booty.

Honestly rolling on a moving ship sounds pretty fun. The rocking would cause constant off-balancing and make the match an absolute sweep fest

And so the idea of Pirate Jiu-Jitsu was born.
