Marksmanship is the best fighting style fellas.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
What is the best fighting style? Lets settle this once and for all
- Thread starter Reyaj
- Start date
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Tae Kwon Do is more of an art than an affecting fighting style. I'd say someone that can strike can work their way inside of your kicking and beat the **** out of you.

Ok I did some research on some of your replies and here's what I came up with.
This guy Wandrei Silva is not the best figher as he has something like 5 losses.
Fedor Emalienenko only has 1 loss and it was due to a cut. He later avenged the loss by knocking out the guy that beat him so he probably takes the cake for best figher.
He does not use jiu jitsu though. He uses Judo and Sambo.
So what is sambo?
Also, the Gracie's have never been defeated in "Vale Tudo" and since this is as close to a real street fight as you can get, you can make the argument that their style is the best.
Lets hear some more opinions on this....

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Yeah, I got your opinion right here.
WHO CARES? So he's not the best eh? Why dont you go meet him and tell him that? You would get your ass handed to you.
And about the fighting styles? Some are inferior to others. Such as boxing being inferior to martial arts. But they each have different uses. Some are for ground fighting, some are for striking and etc. But there is no ONE BEST. Even in something like a streetfight.
Let's say Joe, who is your average run of the mill chump decides he is going to try JiuJitsu (let's assume this is the ULTIMATE style). So he trains for a year or so and he gets pretty good at this ULTIMATE style. Now Joe is an idiot. He thinks that he has learned the best style there is and therefore is superior to the other styles. So he acts like a jackass and pisses of a blackbelt in Karate who has been training with an "inferior" style to Joe's JiuJitsu. Now since Joe is a moron, he decides to take this blackbelt on (who has WAY more experience) with his JiuJitsu. He gets outside and starts fighting.
Guess who wins?
Oh and Jayer, WTF do you know about TaeKwonDo? The fact that you think its merely an art is probably cause you had a wussy teacher who wouldn't let you practice the useful moves (maybe because you were a wussy who wouldnt know what to do anyway). Yes there is an art component to it, but that is only when you practice the patterns. When sparring its more like a brawl (except no grabbing allowed, only striking).

New York City punk style...all you do is grab the nearest lead pipe, or trash can and battle away the night.
I served with a guy who was a former amateur world champion TKD fighter. He was a very dangerous guy. We were in a fairly tough unit, with many many experienced fighters, but this guy was something else.
He used to muck around with kicks and stuff sometimes, but I only saw him shape up once, and in that second he shaped up to a guy you could see the power, the capability, the balance, poise and potentional for complete destruction. Very intimidating.
I have experience fighting, both trained and untrained, but I've never met - in my considerable experience - a guy more capable of destroying a trained man.
So yeah, you can knock this art or that art as being ineffective, but someone with the skills is still gonna end your world.

All depends upon the situation.
If you're on your feet, and at a distance from your opponent/attacker, kicking skills and defense are most important. A kick has much more range than a punch, period.
As you get in closer, grappling/throwing and boxing skills come into play. Elusiveness, speed, and agility are your main assets gainst a larger and stronger opponent.
We sparred pretty intensely in my class. Solid contact with sparring gear. And the good kickers -- even the skinny young fellows -- gave me the most good shots, for their level of experience. But I did OK though I wasn't the best kicker, because my defense was pretty good.
One pretty small (~ 5'6", 160 lb) guy in my karate (American Freestyle) class won a tournament overall -- beating the heavyweights who had greater range and reach -- on account of his amazing agility. His moves were impressive as hell. He was virtually untouchable. In a streetfight, he'd KO most any attacker who didn't have a gun before they know what happens. Which leads to my point: at any range, defense is very important.

This discussion is so retarded that even a Downs syndrome kid would feel embarrassed. Get it through your thick skulls that there is no single best fighting style. All the top fighters use a combination of styles.
“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

I would have said the same thing had I not got into some serious martial arts training and conditioning (I changed my goal from looking good through fitness to combat conditioning for Muay Thai).
I never underestimate ANY form of martial arts, maybe Tae Bo, and that's not a martial art anyways, just some fitness stuff utilising kickboxing techniques. Though I do underestimate Wushu a little, because there are performence ones (all that kung fu **** you see in Matrix is Wushu), and modern kung fu... that isn't to say that I don't get ****y about kung fu fighters, and if they practise traditional chinese boxing, then I'd be weary.
Muay Thai is a good form, its furocious nature in competitions mimics most of that of a street fight.
The best form is no form.

muay thai vs tae kwan do
of course you can't assume that just because this fight was won by the muay thai fighter, muay thai > tae kwon do. that'd be a case of post hoc ergo propter hoc.
just thought it was interesting.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

In order to determine this you have to look at Mixed Martial Arts tournaments and see which styles have the best records....
No one has ever passed the Gracie challenge, fyi...

Like my martial arts teacher (sport karate several-times world champion Richard Plowden) always liked to say: "If there was any style better than all the others, everybody would be doing it."
It's about skills and veratility, not style.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
