Basically before depression when i was good with women, girls would cheat on their bf with me because the other dude lacked skills. I am now requiring some of the skill I lost and ain't worry about the other dude. I can see this getting me into a fight. Do any of you take any martial arts for recreational, training for the ring or just in case?
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

You dont need any martial arts class.... All you gotta do is take out your Penis and put it on the girls hand and you will be alright....works everytime.

Martial arts will be a lot more valuable to you for the sake of keeping you from relapsing into depression. You will meet new people, make new friends, exercise, and get a sense of accomplishment as you get better.
As far as an actual fight, I would hope that you train long enough to learn that there is a big difference between "can" and "should." Obviously, defending yourself is important, but martial artists who are very skilled can defend themselves while at the same time keeping their attacker from getting himself hurt. Using skill with discretion also helps keep you from getting into legal troubles.

I used to do BJJ, until another dude messed a knee bar and hurt my right knee. I've also trained in kenpo karate, tailwondo, muay Thai, boxing, judo for throws and I tried a few months of shaping Kung fu but thought the form was gay and unpractical for street fights.Chamber36 said:
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Judo is good for street fights imo. Anything can work. As long as you have the technique down and you don't injure yourself you should be fine.
If you get in the situation of a potential fight, any martial art will allow you to recognize those micro-calibrations in another person's body-language that will expose their next moves.
I don't recommend you punch/kick in a street fight too much because it's easy to injure yourself like that.
It all depends on your body type as well. If you've done all those martial arts you should know what works for you.

It is far more important to be able to talk your way out of fight than it is to know how to punch, kick or throw.
That being said, Mauy Thai and Judo(or BJJ) should set you on the right path.

NO JUST NO NO NO NO....nobody has a clue
martial arts are not for street fighting....you wanna fight? get a baseball bat or a gun
martial arts are not designed for the street...they are designed for show or THE RING where there is a referee and RULES...is there rules on the streets??i dont think so...will judo or any other grappling arts work? NOPE..as soon as you ground your opponent, his friends will come out of the bush AND HIT YOUR HEAD or impale you with a knife...
aikido..is even more pathetic, no one is gonna stand there and wait until you do your 360 degree hand dance...
wing chun is fitted to fight ONE ON ONE fights in a narrow or small alley,however that has its own limits
muay thai is NOT effective when your opponent has a knife
boxing is not effective when your opponent has a baseball bat ready to smash your head...
so get a weapon or mostly RUN...self defense is RUNNING
martial arts is to purify the mind
i have a career of 15 years in different schools so trust me
what you see on UFC is NOT applicable on the street,the guy will get his buddies, get a sword and gun AND WILL KILL YOU

Your age says you're 23. Eight is a little young to be a trained killer.
I don't disagree with a lot of what you said, but there is such a thing as knowing how to fight. And if you do, then environment typically does not dictate. It's not like a kung-fu movie where one guy fights twenty at a time, but at the same time, mma fighters tend to not get beaten up in bars just because they're in a bar and not a padded cage.
fwiw, although like any blunt object they hurt when you don't see them coming, baseball bats actually make crappy hand-to-hand weapons, unless the wielder has been trained in stick fighting. Not that it would ever happen, but using a bat with skill would be holding it in the middle and making short jabs to transition to a joint lock. No one knows how to do that, so they just swing like a caveman, miss once, and then the weapon becomes useless as the other guy closes range.
If you must carry a ball bat in your car, be smart and also keep an old baseball glove and baseball with it. That makes it a toy and not something you plan to use as a weapon. It's the same with golf clubs. Don't carry just one club, make it look like you were on your way to play golf. A state trooper gave me that advice.
Knives are different in that, at least with a quality knife, an unskilled person can severely injure or kill someone fairly easily. Realistic training with knives is rare. No one can call themselves a "knife fighter" and not be covered with scars, because getting cut is inherent. Training is largely defensive, slash and move, wait it out until the other guy bleeds out. However, since carrying a knife will get you put in jail, the best training is to learn how to defend yourself against a knife when you are unarmed. It is of course nearly impossible to do that without getting cut, but the idea is to not get killed.

The fvcked up thing is walking away from a fight letting other people think you're a pvssy, but it happens to the best martial artists in the world. It's not really clever to put yourself in a dangerous situation just for the sake of your image or your ego.
Martial arts will help your ego though in knowing that you are quite capable of defending yourself. In the end you don't really have to prove yourself to anyone as long as you can prove yourself sparring with heavier people in training. Sometimes I wonder how I would fare in a street fight, yet whenever I get the chance I do eventually walk away.
Also knowing that I can defend myself really helps my posture because I don't give a fvck what others think. I walk more erect knowing that I can easily incapacitate most people. Especially when I see people who are taller and buffer than me I can still tell that I could easily fvck them up because their body language isn't right. It helps to make you a little more perceptive to all the little tics and flinches of the shoulders, neck, face, eyes or whole body. In fighting you always have to keep your guard up. So there's a nuanced way of keeping your guard up in any situation, even without raising your hands. It's about awareness and perceptiveness. I can see more weak spots and opportunities to kick/punch someone or have a better ability to see if someone has a bad stance and could easily be brought off balance than the average person. It comes with years of practice though. I've only practiced for 3 years but I still consider myself pretty decent because I lost the fear I used to have of people who are heavier or more skilled than me. This is all a pretty personal story but it sort of reflects how I feel about martial arts helping me.
Having read a lot of pua material I'm actually planning on reading books like The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Books like that should be applicable to inner game imo. Tried to order it but didn't work.

."She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
