Catknight SG Sometimes people or parents will chide their children,,,aiyah spent money and time learning karate, taekwondo ...can really fight or not And the child will look at the parent"HUH"... So can fight or not??
Catknight SG That's the whole problem we dun know...so we are getting more civilised and the moves and kicks may not even save us
eastpaw SG Seriously? No. Most martial artists in Singapore aren't fighters. They keep getting beaten up by ah bengs for some reason.
thehappybunny SG take a few lessons from Bas Ruten lah...street fighting is where its at search for Bas Ruten (or Rutten, forgot) at youtube
Rockhound SG krav maga......probably get u out of a tight situation...highly aggressive.... but the best martial arts to learn is 2 one for grappling... one for kicking...
Virus92 SG martial arts good 4 fighting but not good 4 self-defence cus most street fights ppl fight like cavemen. no grace n no finesse.
stellazio SG yes u can use it for self defence, if fights are 1v1 and without weapons but seldom thats the case. but martial arts also builds up ur confidence to stand up to people not ur boss obviously but ppl tyring to stir trouble with u.
airgrinder SG most marital artists in the world aren't fighters too. in a real fight/robbery/rape/hostile situation, it's not how many dans of blackbelts you have. "Black Belt America" a martial arts magazine.
