Top 10 martial arts for self-defense, plus an extra suggestion

[PorkChopSandwiches]

I would fuck with a hobo fight either, one dies better for us all.

[Hal-9000]

Me either, I'm in large drunken crowds a lot to, somehow I never get into a fight. I have a drunk buddy on the other hand that gets his ass whooped at least once a year. Therefor Hal has a drinking problem

I was sober when I walked out of a drugstore one afternoon and two young thugs were at my car...they tried to do something (steal my carton of smokes? my wallet??) and I tuned them both up pretty good. Had to sit in a cop car for three hours afterwards and defend my actions ffs because one of their friends claimed 'I attacked them'.

TBH I was scared......for a moment

[DemonGeminiX]

No offense, but that's one of the worst arguments I've ever heard.

Just because someone is Chinese doesn't mean they know diddly squat about martial arts. That would be like saying I automatically know more about American football than someone who is from another country. After all, it's AMERICAN football. How could they possibly know more than me when they aren't American?

No offense, but you need a sense of humor.

[DemonGeminiX]

And you're not Chinese, either.

[FBD]

No offense, but I think Chinese people know more about the martial arts that come from their regions than you do. I'm taking their word over yours.

Aerobics for old people, dude.

not so much, bro - "the younger generation"'s fooked over there just like over here where you have a shit ton of them that wind up growing up without the values of their predecessors. go dig around, tai chi is a *very* viable and deadly dangerous if you have a serious practitioner that has learned the martial applications alongside the rest of the art. the form just also happens to be a soft chi gung form that can be practiced well into old age - much more than you can say for a lot of other arts where your body is able to take less and less of it as time goes on. half the art is longevity, its not just self defense, it is a very comprehensive art. I used to think as your friends did for the longest time until I met some serious practitioners and was absolutely amazed at how quickly and explosively they were able to move and apply themselves.

[Acid Trip]

And you're not Chinese, either.

I didn't realize I had to be Chinese to know your justification was garbage. A Chinese person told you something about a Chinese martial art and therefore it must be true.

I'll write that down for next time.

No, just remember that if that sort of response is elicited from you, then you might have to insert your own quasi-sarc tag, even if its just in your head Like if he just said "I like pizza" instead

[Hal-9000]

I've been beaten up by someone who was trained...I know what that feels like

Dude, pizza rocks!!!

[DemonGeminiX]

Master Wong cracks me up. He's got the camera low looking up at him saying shit like, "You no want to be in this position! You get yo face beat in!"
