Historical European Martial Arts. We read treaties from the Middle Age and we try to reproduce them. Main weapons are Longsword and sword/buckler but you can work on any sources you can find. We work with pole-axe, scythe and stuff like that in my club. We spare with harder gear than Olympic fencing though

I'm an instructor in a club, yes: Spatha Medievae in Liège, Belgium. I attend tournaments too. I did the Bunny Bash before the covid, ended up at the last16 stage, I did some regional tournaments in the other club around Liège,.I wanted to go to the Greek tournaments this year but I couldn't due to weddings. Looking forward to next year and a new season! HEMA isn't the best sport during summer.
One of my goal is to pick up my sword and visit new countries through their HEMA club. I plan to visit Norway that way for instance, same goes for Latvia.

generally, the big four are BJJ, boxing, wrestling and Muay Thai
If ur gonna go for Muay Thai I highly recommend getting a year of boxing in first so you can practice proper punching form and head movement
BJJ takes several years to actually get good at but it's arguably the deadliest if you get in a 1v1
depends on what your objectives are tbh

I'd argue that purple belt is when you start getting scary, thats like ~5 years depending on your talent and dedication
but like #36 said shit can always happen
I already trained Muay Thai.. I liked a lot, I'm pretending practice again in the future. I think it's good for self-defense and lose weight. I dont like lifting weight and this stuff, so Muay Thai is more dynamic and fun for me.

what's the point of martial arts?
the chance of you ever needing it for self-defense is super slim. The chance of it working for self-defense is even slimmer. And if you just want to it for exercise there are better ways.
Just get mace or pepper ball gun if you're scared.

i mean if you suspect you're gonna run into that situation, i doubt you can do anything at all except maybe get yourself killed
im open to being corrected on this, but even with blunt weapons, any aggressive person has an advantage on you no matter how skilled you are at punching and kicking
i mean we humans can defeat bears and lions with sticks and blades
beyond that, i truly dont know
i just gave you what the sports i personally like and also find useful tbh
any other sports you enjoy like basketball or football can be great for exercise too

well yeah unless u trained for 10 years. ur chances are very low vs an armed opponent
Even if you're not going to use it in case you're being assaulted, knowing how to defend yourself and your loved ones is very important, especially when it's healthy exercise and boosts your confidence up. If you know BJJ you can easily sleep troublemakers.

+1 everyone should know how to defend themselves
especially females
also learn how to deescalate and prevent an actual fight
Imagine being such a scared loser, you don't even have the motivation to get good at the most fundamental sport in human biology

Watch The Raid and The Raid 2 if you enjoy martial arts. Best action movies ever.

ahhh sorry man i think i worded it wrongly. I think i meant how should i start muay thai
1 reply
well like everyone else i guess, do some gym before hand, full body training then look for the nearest dojo and try a couple weeks to see hows the teacher/master and other people
muay Thai is good cause you practice with full body
punches knees elbows grappling kicks etc
boxing if u wanna master 1v1 punching but u wont learn how to defend vs kicks nor understand how much they hurt
kickboxing is a bit like Muay thai, but is more "sporty" with more rules, bigger gloves etc

taekwondo is very particular compared to other MAs
muay thai approach to everything can be better for a beginner, however u have to consider you'll become a jack of all trades which has its pros and cons
i did kyokushinkai for 3 years which is like Muay thai pretty much except u cant face punch people,may sound weird but yeah, since we fight barehanded its too dangerous to hit someone face and break him

if u cant find muay thai, go boxing or better yet kickboxing
1 reply
you're not wrong, boxing is ideal for street fighting vs untrained people. however like u said u need to learn kick defense and also some grappling
do BJJ, you won't regret it, can personally recommend
