When screamed at potential assailants, the words sound way less ghey  than screaming "I know Jujitsu" - and that's whats really important in a life or death situation.

My buddy is a hardcore SAMBO guy and a complete badass. Watched him manhandle three Chechens at once during a bar scuffle on night when I was living in Odessa.
Anyway, he sparred with an Israeli dude that trained in Krav Maga and it was a draw really.
KM is great stuff when you need to get out of a situation fast or end your opponent lethally.
The main deal with KM schools in the US is that most don’t allow sparring. This is a red flag!
Also, some are really sketchy when it comes to tracing the schools links back to actual KM masters in Israel.
A good KM school allows sparring and can prove lineage.

Eye poking and ball kicking doesn't really work in a fight.

maybe vs some unaware tard

in short it's complete BS

Boxing and combined with some bjj gets you prepared for real fights.

Exactly.  Guys who think they have an ace up their ass with eye poking and ball kicking that think they can defeat a trained fighter are living in a delusional world. Truth is instead of tapping you out they will put you to sleep then break every joint in your body for trying to eye gouge them. Some of the best fighters are wrestlers who learns how to box and practices Jui jitsu.  So much nonsense in the martial arts world. If you don't spar with a real opponent that's trying to kick you're ass it's  just delusional fiction. 

I would suggest to anyone that thinks BBJ or boxing is bs to go to a gym and roll on the mats or do some real sparing in the ring. It's humbling.

I’ve fought some good fighters who knew their shit far more than me and I’ve grabbed balls a few times and I can say it works.Also grabbed and snapped fingers as well as throat poke and if nothing else is working and you go for balls,eyes etc... it can and does work.

When was the last tiime anyone here was involved in a street fight. Not just a stupid bar one that went outside for 15 seconds. A real no holds barred knock down drag em out fight for your life? So many conversations evoke around a street fight as to who system works or not. Willingness and who does not hesitate and strikes first is usually going to be the victor. In most cases.

Honestly I love to fight and look for any chance I can get to brawl.Last good street fight was prob 4 years ago,been in a few fights since but not all out craziness.most people I know don’t hang with me because they know I need excitement and know I’m up for anything at anytime.

Not the toughest but I don’t give a fuck either way and I can take a hell of a beating.

Not really life or death , but a drunken soldier from a nearby military base mistook my house for someone else's and tried to break in. It actually felt really fantastic to body slam him several times and then sit on him till the cops came - I'm 50 and it's been a really long time since the adrenaline high you get from that sort of thing. In truth I'm an OK grappler and powerlifting definitely gives me some advantage over regular dudes - but the kid was drunk so..........meh.

Guy told me that who won the Krav sparring came down to who had other training.  Boxers won with boxing, grapplers won with locks and chokes.  

If you find yourself in an actual fight that you can't disengage from then it's 99% likely that you volunteered for it even if you didn't precipitate it.  So for training just choose something you actually enjoy, which you can practice without risk of lasting injury, and which surrounds you with cool people.  In my limited experience BJJ guys are really cool and into sharing what they know.  Who cares if it's not the last word in practical fighting effectiveness.  It's fun, effective enough if it had to be, and you're not getting your brain sloshed around.  Any martial art is basically a fitness hobby anyway unless you're a pro fighter, soldier, cop, or an idiot who invites trouble instead of walking away from it.

I don't understand this mentality. I am not saying it's good or bad, I just don't understand it. I have literally seen a dozen people who's lives were changed due to an altercation over nothing. A bad fall, hitting the curb at that wrong angle, taking a blow and falling back on the sidewalk and into a coma. Loss of use of limbs.. over someones perceived insult. We all think we will just fight it out and walk away and many times that happens but there are times when the unexpected happens and that can be your next fight. When I worked the streets, I almost always felt if I had to resort to physical means, I dropped the ball on deescalating the situation. I would much rather talk through a confrontation than get into a physical fight because you never know if some weird thing will happen you least expect.

I got in really nasty tussel at a bonfire when I was in my early twenties it lasted a few minutes. Dude was a brown belt he tried to kick me in the knee like Jon Jones does. I took karate for several years and wrestled in highschool. I checked the leg kick and hit a power double. I ended up on top of him in full mount. He tried to scratch/poke my eyes out. I nearly bit two of his fingers off. Fight was done shortly after. I felt the fight come out of him when his fingers started to crunch. I made him quit.

I think who lands first usually wins. Train for the first shot. If you think something is really going to go down land first with a hard well placed shot. Even on a seasoned fighter if you can land a good strike to the jaw temple solar plex first you can follow up with soccer kicks head stomps.

A big deal is made these days about learning a martial art for self defence but unless you are up to something that you shouldn’t or are very unlucky you should normally only ever have to defend yourself against some drunk bum or the insecure type who know they are absolute pussies and are so desperate to prove themselves they start bother every where they go, generally trained fighters or people who can handle themselves don’t go about starting fights they are usually very secure in who they are and don’t feel the need to prove anything or tell anyone how “tough” they are (if someone feels the need to announce how tough they are, they are usually far from it).

Your right mate and also the fuckers that go about in their little groups I remember that was the in thing back in the busy days of our towns local nightclub, one group from a nearby town was notorious for it they were all skinny little soft cu nts who couldn’t fight sleep individually but would go around singling out drunk people on their own and piling on them over nothing or some shit that they themselves orchestrated.
