| Post subject: | Top 5 Useless Martial Arts |
As an individual who studies martial arts and recently finished reading a Sports manual, I feel the need to address a common issue that never seemed to be forgotten. Simply put, some disciplines supposedly meant for self defense are inapplicable in an open world encounter. Here is a couple martial arts whose usefulness is questionable. 5) Karate - Generally its too focused on striking and blocking and not much else. 4) Krav Maga - Does not teach you enough for the time or cost. Most of the techniques taught here like groin shots can be thought up by untrained individuals via common sense. 3) Ninjutsu - Techniques are highly unrealistic and easily countered by anyone who knows what he's doing. 2) Taekwondo - Punching and grappling are almost always more practical than kicking in a real fight, and the fighting stances taught by this discipline are awkward. 1) Aikido - I can't recall a time when their overly flashy moves worked against a non-compliant opponent. Its core philosophy to avoid head on confrontations already arouses questions about its effectiveness. There are also lesser known styles that aren't mentioned here. They are left out because well, if its not popular what does that say about its effectiveness? Laugh everytime someone mentions Tai Chi as self defense prowess. |

Most martial arts train mind more than the body. |

I thought Martial Arts was about training your mind to react instantly to threats instead of hesitating like most of us peasants do... while at the same time using exactly as much force as is neccessary in the given situation. At least that's how my friend whose been a practitioner since he was in kindergarten explained it. |

Yes and no. Martial Arts in general are a combination of hand-to-hand combat techniques and a core disciplined philosophy. Nowadays they lean towards the latter, because us peasants are very unlikely to be in a situation to use the hand-to-hand combat part. But military and paramilitary forces still train in various martial arts because it's best to know and never use, then to not know, and have desperate life or death need. Obviously HPA fails to grasp reality because the Department of Defense, which has decades more experience than HPA's tiny home island country in the south pacific with H2HC, offers courses all across our military and defense universities in H2HC. One specific course is the DoD's Jujutsu class. |

HPA is just dumb, can we all agree on that and ignore him? |

All these disciplines I've listed are either infamous for putting up McDojos or teach elaborate moves that are strictly impractical in a morals off fight. But keep trash talking behind your computer screen like the scraggly geek you are. |

If you even served in the marines at all, you will know that they receive very little hand to hand training. Most of their training is shifting away from civilian life, physical activity, field skills, and handling weapons. They do get trained in basic unarmed and knife combat, but a soldier won't be able to step into a ring to spar with the skills he acquired. |

The Marine Corps actually does train in hand to hand combat, more so that rifles and pistols in fact because rifles and pistols are easy. There is actually required monthly sustainment training on hand to hand. And progressing belt levels requires studies of warrior cultures and martial arts disciplines as well as demonstrating mastery of all prior techniques as well as new ones for that level. Then once you get to Brown and Black belts you are required to receive training in other martial arts forms that again, the military provides... So keep pretending you know shit. |

Thinks 3 years is extensive training. Ignores the sentence that says marines receive basic hand to hand training. I know you. You are another one of these nobodies who likes to talk shit online but has zip to back it up. You're like 95% of the Comic Vine population, who claim to all be boxers or martial arts experts. And why are you even posting here? Unless you disagree with the first post there's no point in you replying to this topic. Edit: Handling weapons means more than firing them. It also involves cleaning and maintaining your primary weapon so you don't suffer the same fate as the U.S. army did in Vietnam. |

Yep, and I can teach you literally everything about handling and basic maintenance of the M9 service pistol, m16a4 and m4 rifles in about 30 minutes. Marksmanship takes a few hours to train correctly. We have around 20 hours a year of required weapons handling training. 20 hours a month is the sustainment requirement for martial arts (as in not enough to advance at all). People actively progressing in martial arts find themselves doing 30-60 hours a week of training. As for your bullshit claim that most of our training is for civilian reintegration; I went to a 5 day course that was 4-6 hours a day 20 days before I gother out and that's literally all the "training" you get in that area. The fact is HPS, I don't have to disagree with your point to disagree with you. You specialize in making baseless bullshit claims (which is why none of your first post is based on numbers or expert opinions, but instead your traditionally bullshit opinions). Every time you post you drag your name further into the mud. You are a legend in your own mind, while the rest of the world sees an ego centric child. Maybe rather than just having a large ego you should find a reason to deserve such a large ego. Oh and where did I call myself a martial arts master? I did the training, but here's the thing; if I ever get in a fight I don't give a shit about physical domination, I will give you two rounds to the chest because that's all the sweat and time an opponent is worth. |
