1. Lex looks like a secret Russian secret service agent

2. I rhink parkour is the best base, you can evade from mosr kind of troubles.

   People must remember that there's no such rhing as a street fight. You have no control when it starts, you have no idea if the other person is armed, you don't know if other people will get involved. Once you're in you might not be able to get out of it.
   Don't do it, im 99% of cases you can avoid it.

3. No es el estilo, es la persona

4. He didn't answer. I lost some minutes of life

5. Israeli robot

6. It’s kick boxing because you can attack and create space and be aware of other dangers.

7. This guy Danaher is so pedantic wannabe Socrates.

8. Just say you don’t know. Silat, Kali, Krav Maga, Systema?

9. best martial arts to deactivate the situation? 100 meter dash brah

10. Best self defense is to talk at the same pace and with the same enthusiasm as this guy. Your opponent will forget what even led to the altercation and now y’all can just go have a beer instead

11. Easy to say mma, but mixed martial arts are not a discipline, more a rule to allow a fighter to deliver all his arsenal of striking and grappling, not easy to make a chart but picking up single martial arts i would say: 1-Muay Thai 2-BJJ 3-Sambo grappling/combat 4-Judo 5-Wrestling 6-Boxing 7-Kyokushinkai Karate my favourite mixed cross training with striking/grappling are Muay Thai/BJJ and Wrestling/Boxing plus a good training in ground and pound

12. if you wish to learn how to defend yourself asap, it depends on how many options are available, assuming you can't pick "mma", 1 option available: combat sambo, 2 options available (1 for grappling, 1 for striking): boxing and judo, 3 options available (within mma): boxing, wrestling and jiu-jitsu … I think those are your best bets for short term self defence

13. Go for both if you have money and time.

14. Best answer !!!

15. It’s not rocket science really. Best way to get good at fighting is by fighting, so unless you’re going out looking for fights in bars every night then sparring and competition is the best way to achieve this.

16. The main issues with street fights is that you don’t have nice mat to land on BJJ, judo, wrestling could work… landing on concrete potentially seriously damaging yourself or the opponent.
    A front kick pushing off the opponent and get running the heck out of there.
    Also if it’s just you vs a bunch of guys sod that…

17. Does he mean MMA or would it be useful to learn ie Judo or Muay Thai??

18. The best martial art is MMA, to be well rounded in stand up and ground game.

19. Disagree with the fist/palm strike part. Others have made detailed Videos about the topic which I agree with.

20. This was such a professional answer. He didn't throw any martial art under the bus and he also didn't promote the martial art that he himself is practicing.

21. Professor John is a genius

22. Danaher is the professor. The guy is so concise.
