Capoeira. I don't know how effective it is in a real world fighting situation (most martial arts aren't anyways), but it looks absolutely sick when you see good capoeiristas doing their thing.
Also, there's the added lore bonus of it being originally used to beat the shit out of slave owners and catchers.
There's a fighting version of capoeira that's more serious and less flashy than the dancy version. Apparently the weapons of choice at one point were straight razors and the defense was silk scarves. Idk how it stacks up to modern systems like bjj.
My understanding is most martial art systems do have a quick and dirty version that's pretty decent for killing people, but they don't get much emphasis during peacetime because you can't use the techniques that cause permanent injury in tournies.
Like bjj has lots of techniques that can cause severe permanent injury to joints and effectively disable someone, but folks don't need or want to do that so they focus on safer holds and submissions that can actually be applied in competition.
To be fair, BJJ is fucking vicious. I think the only way for someone to be better equipped for dealing permanent, life-threatening injuries to another person would be to have an actual weapon.
Yeah, as far as ground fighting goes, BJJ really feels like the end of history for martial arts. Like ground fighting is a solved problem now and we're just tweaking the parameters for edge cases.
Are there any BJJ schools that aren't full of chuds? All the ones near me are absolutely infested with cops and loudly proclaim their partnership with local law enforcement agencies.
I know technically I could still take their classes, but I'm pretty sure they will smell the commie on me. I live in rural Ohio, I'm a weird person, and the pics of their classes on social media make it clear that I would definitely stick out.
Dunno. Guns and mma attract chuds like flies. Maybe ask around if you've got any comrades who can teach you. For all practical purposes learning some basic strikes, throws, and ground work is going to put you ahead of most people who have no formal training at all. Worst case, find a buddy who also wants to learn and figure it out yourself from online videos. You don't have to be a good fighter, just better than your opponent.
Maybe look for classes taught by queer people, POC, or women? Might have better odds of dodging cops.
That's cool!
I was going to put that one but i couldn’t remember how to spell it. It looks cool for a few seconds but mostly useless. I can’t say too much cuz I’m a lazy shit and a little out of shape but it really does look useless.
"Sexy dance fighting"
This one for sure. There's a movie that features the style, "Only the Strong", and while it was cool to see it featured, the movie is pretty meh and doesn't have nearly as much fighting as you'd want to see a crazy and rarely shown style in action.
