A good self defense system needs to include, •Defending against multiple attackers •Defending against weapons •If it's legal in your country, learning to use weapons •Both the pre and post fight •Scenario training •What are the laws and reasonable force in your country •How to avoid a fight, and being aware of your surroundings •Pressure testing •Training in different environments
I agree with most of this but I would disagree that judo is a watered down bjj. Bjj has more groundwork but judo puts more emphasis on takedowns. I would put kyokushin and boxing above c tier too.
@@edwardlygma2683 Actually you're right kyokushin at C tier is fine since there are no punches to the face. I would also put kung fu and krav maga at D tier.
Boxing should give at least an A. While it is a very unidimensional and not generalist combat, it is a very specialized combat sport. It is by far the best punching discipline from all others leaps and bounds. Definitely should be at least an A tier.
But kung fu has spear hand that's can make the boxer blind, even the boxer that have a great punch, but boxing is great too its has many footwork, agile, strength, and defense...... At the end both kung fu and boxing are great.
I disagree with karate in D tier mainly because it has been used effectively and mma fighters such as Oliver Enkamp have gained a lot from it. The biggest problems with it are that there are boat loads of styles that focus on completely different thing and that there's no grappling but I wouldn't give it D tier. I would put it on the same tier as judo (which I love practising).
Re: Judo... You must be refering to Sport Judo which is a small portion of the art of Judo. There's much more to Judo than the sport portion. The Mr Gracie who started BJJ/Gracie Jiu-Jitsu was taught by a practitioner of Judo. If you knew about the whole art of Judo (with its striking, kicking, sweeping, throwing, matwork, joint-locking, smothering, choking, strangling - in addition to defenses against weapons & common attacks), then I believe that you would likely place it in the 'A' or 'S' catagory on your chart.
ChizboiTV In a way you could say that; Judo came from JJJ and a Judoka went to brazil to spread Judo and the Gracie family created BJJ from expanding the Judo ground game, in fact the famous triangle choke was invented by a Judo master in the 1920s. Everyone knows this, you gotta catch up
Aluisio Fernandes da Silva Junior Everything you said doesn’t change the fact that Judo came first and BJJ has neutered standing grappling. Most BJJ gyms have people starting in missionary instead of having them work for it; they even have rules that protect people trying to pull or jump guard. Also it’s pretty dumb to frame a statement as a question?
@@confessedrock7358 , it doesn't matter where and when it comes from. Judo is still watered down version of itself and is underwhelming represented in important fighting promotions. They banned leglocks, leg grabs, added ippon pins, and forgot the newasa. BJJ in other hand keeps evolving since the begging adding CACC and wrestling techniques, it has No Gi, it is very well represented in MMA and ADCC. I just framed my answer to a question for you start to think?
A lot of martial arts have developed from another martial art. Krav Maga is basically some dirty boxing combined with some judo, wrestling. Kung Fu, Taekwondo and Karate have the same roots. Judo came from Jujitsu etc. So MMA is basically a new martial art that just combined other styles.
I understand what you are saying. But mma has become so popular that theres mant gym that teaches strictly MMA. It was not a martial art per se, but its becoming one.
WWE/Pro-Wrestling is S tier, have grappling, striking, chair bashing, table breaking, trash talking, acrobatics, one on one, team fighting, street fighting, Cage fight, etc...if you do pro-wrestling, you have fought in any posible way, not even MMA beats it. :)
ED HEr the only good people from that list are Brock lesnar and sakuraba, Brock lesnar was on steroids and anytime he’d get punched he would shut down, and sakuraba used his wrestling to win. Again wrestling is good pro wrestling is ass
@@GuappaChoppa Well, actually Brock isnt the only one on roids in UFC, so if doing roids makes them no-good, then Bone Jones Sucks even more lol..the others may not look good by your tastes but won their fights, right? Sakuraba was more a pro-wrestler at the point he started MMA, he even enter to fight Royce Gracie with a freaking Mask, you can't get more pro-wrestling than that. Only if they let them use their tools to the maximum pull a table, or do high flying moves or bring a barbed wire 2x4 to the octagon pro wrestling would be invinclible :D lol btw, "the people's elbow" is banned in MMA bc is too dangerous.
today i got into a fight (defending myself) all i had to do was make it look like i lost (BJJ) i put someone into a firefly lock and just slammed their head into the ground and waited so they thought i lost (i was on the ground)
Taekwondo in d? I’m a black belt and not from one of those “you buy the belt” schools and was taught hand strikes and just about as much as kicking. Idk tho Mabey I’m just salty
I think he’s talking about average taekwondo in general. Most strikes from taekwondo focus on getting points in the match instead of knocking people out. But I mean if you’re excellent in one specific martial arts, that’s another story. In fact, there’s no best martial arts but only the best martial artists.
I think he's talking about WTF Taekwondo it is more focused on the sport and legs than the other styles. And I also agree that Taekwondo should not be a D tier because I don't think this dude knows what he's talking about he probably got it just from another tier list or from just one website. My grandmaster teaches a style based on real fighting situations, meaning that we balance the amount of kicks and punches we do during training, representing Hwarang warriors.
Wrestling is S-tier because it provides the best base for all other sports. The combonation of technique instruction and physical conditioning is unmatched. The conditioning allows the rest of the technique instruction for other martial arts to come easy. A wrestler will never be the best best boxer or kicker but he will win the fight 7/10. Anyone can learn how to kick or punch something. Learning how to control someone in all the various positions only comes from live competition. Having the nesecary strength and endurance to do it for 6-10 minutes straight only comes from years in the wrestling room. Which is why it has an advantage over Judo and BJJ. A wrestler can learn submissions without any trouble at all. MMA is not a martial art IMO. It is a competition of martial arts. Its a living tournament.
Sounds like someone who’s only done wrestling. BJJ is the most practical grappling martial art without a doubt. You don’t need to endure 10 minutes when you have someone’s arm twisted or your arm around their neck. The issue with wrestling is that it doesn’t teach you how to finish somebody.
@@bluntbangs submissions are very easy to learn for a wrestler. I learned to escape an arm bar through intuition. The guy was no expert but the point stands. Its just another technique. If a wrestler doesnt have to worry about rules everything goes from controlling your opponent to killing your oppenent. A slight tweak in the form and many wrestling moves become devastating. BJJ is a solid form and the one aspect it has over wrestling is control from bottom. Turning to your back is forfeiting in wrestling so the position is naturally unconfortable while its an advantagous position for a BJJ fighter. It matches up well but any one with solid submission defense should be able to get the dub. Its purely because of the training a wrestler endures. BJJ is heavy on technique while wrestlers grind their body until its peak. Technique comes along the way.
People pleaser I agree with you to be honest but you are still underestimating a bit BJJ ( well I say this as Karate/kickboxing practitioner so what would I know)
@@TuFrutaMadre888 it also comes down to location. A North American should wrestle or box. A south American should go with BJJ. Competition and coaching will be better according to your geographic location. Key aspects in improving.
S: MMA A: BJJ, Muy Thai Boxing, B: Pankration, Judo, Wrestling (note: all throwing styles), and Kickboxing C: Kyokushin Karate, Boxing, Krav Maga, Kung Fu D: Tai Chi, Karate, TaeKwonDo, Aikido: Aikido :/
Nice list overall, but I want to share some of my thoughts aswell. The kind of Taichi you mentioned ,u know, the skow and relaxed version, thats goof for rehab only , and imo it should not even be considered martial art. Id say it should group with akido. Theres also another type of Taichi, in which its practitioner spare on a daily basis. Its style is quite close to wrestling but the scene is not as competitive. Same goes with Kung Fu, many are just straight up fraud, and some are okay martial art. There are like IDK, 100+ different schools of ancient Kung Fu and most of their moves are not very polished or complete. I would say they would be d tier at best in terms of self defense. Modern Kung Fu, which is like an MMA of multiple styles of ancient Kung Fu, would be quite similar to Kbox + quick take downs. Theres no groundwrok however, since its not allowed. Theres actually more than 100 registered Muai Tai vs Kung Fu matches in recent 35 years or something. Most of these matches are in Muai Tai rules. usually its the 2nd tier Muai Tai athletes or the relatively worse 1st tier match up against the absolute best Kung Fu practitioner. The result were around 70-30 in favor of Muai Tai. Also note that most won by Muai Tai was a knock down while most won by Kung Fu are by points. I get that boxing could cause brain damage and it consist of punching only. But Id say it is actually one of the better sport for self defense. Its quick, stealthy, well balanced, and hits pretty hard. which means it can separate enemy much easier. Finish the first one asap, then deal with the nexr one. which is the most crucial in a self defense situation. two 1v1 is ten times easier than one 1v2.
There are 3 reasons for that, 1. He said Judo is a watered down version of BJJ which I can understand but still disagree 2. While BJJ is a great martial art you probably shouldn’t use it in a street fight due to many reasons such as when you are fighting more than one guy the last thing you want to do is getting on the ground, if there’s like broken beer bottles (just anything sharp) in the ground you probably should try to stay away from it 3. Because he is a BJJ practitioner and due to that everyone thinks he is biased ( I don’t)
@@TuFrutaMadre888 , this is anecdotal argument. While you will certainly lose in 95% of the scenarios when you fight using any martial art against multiple attackers (it is even useless fighting), at last we have overwhelming several video evidences of BJJ being very effective against 1 vs 1 in street fighting scenarios.
I would say boxing and judo should be switched only because lack of evidence that judo is more effective than boxing on the street or in the cage. And the MMA in S tier is debatable but I get your point of why its up there.
Judo is water down but not from bjj. Bjj is ground %80 and %20 stand up. Judo is % %80 stand and 20% ground. Judo is water down due banning leg grabs. Judo is top tier for self defense. In cold climate wearing a jacket the other person is heavily in disadvantage.
I wish you talked more about what self defense is and isnt, even mma lacks conversations about awareness and conflict de escalation, check out school of self defenses video, he goes into a lot more detail on his ranking
Half way through the video I realized that this list is being made by someone who doesn't know what they are talking about and uses titles that are misleading to attract more viewers and more money
I don't agree with the position of taekwondo, because you are referring to the WTF as everyone does, but the original taekwondo, the ITF focuses on 60% kicks 30% punches and 10% grabs
I would say that Kali/Eksrima/Arnis is in S-Tier. It's one of the few martial arts actually combat-oriented and proven effective in real warfare for hundreds of years.
Years ago Judo and jiu jitsu were typically taught at the same dojo. I guess it changed when Judo became an Olympic sport but for me it was taught together. Consequently this martial art was quite formidable. I agree with your S being MMA except MMA is not a style it is a rule set, to be successful requires proficiency in two or more disciplines. I would put Combat Sambo in the A category since it is MMA with head gear along with your A. Most Combat Sambo practitioners start with a belt in Judo /Jiu Jitsu, like Khabib and Fedor.. My B would be Boxing and Wrestling, if you have both disciplines you will win 90% of your street fights due to basic toughness.
I don’t understand haha😅. Shouldn’t we just learn all the styles and become versed in that style. BJJ/MUAY THAI/KUNGFU AND TAI CHI/ KARATE /TAEKWONDO/BOXING if you know a decent amount of all these you can save yourself anytime
SooDoneWithYou yes I agree. What I meant was to have your own style that picks from different styles instead of trying to put each style against each othed
WachoGamer well yea that’s kinda what I was going at haha 😆. I was just saying that you can take all styles and create one that works for you. A “Mixed” style
To be u just need a martial art that fits u one of my friends felt ashame because he was doing karate and most of the tier lists people said karate was a bad martial art it’s ilke Bruce lee said it doesn’t matter what martial art u use unless it’s aikido
pankration its basically mma without elbows knees kicks to the head, its the best legit martial arts for kids in my opinion, not too brutal but also legit sport, they use the side kick to the body as a takedown, which i dont know how to feel about, catching kicks becomes a very important skill that wouldnt be very useful in a realistic senario. I kinda cringe seeing them drop their hands to catch a body kick. But for the most part is a legit martial art with a game element, a little more casual, very high female participation compared to other grappling heavy martial arts.
Pankration does not even exist. What exist today is Pankration Athlima which is a McDojo with TKD gi created by a american kickboxer using the same name of the ancient sport. The real Pankration is long dead since Christianism.
Josiah James No you are dumb, MMA is not a Martial art, it’s a competition, it’s considered a martial art because every style of MMA looks preatty alike but they still can’t be called martial arts, if you would’ve done your research you would know
I know!!! When this guy is calling kickboxing boxing with kicks and putting boxing in the same tier as Kung fu I’m just like 🤦♂️ this guy is clueless.
Kick Boxing is not a " style" it is the summation of fighting styles that utilize kicks and punches. But different competitions have different rule sets. Some do allow leg kicks others don't, some do allow knees and elbows others don't etc. A style would be something like "American Kickboxing", "Dutch Kickboxing" and even Muay Thai is just part of kickboxing.
Aikido is not throwing peepz wit ur mind aikido comes from daito-ryu-aikijujutsu. Also there is moore to taichi then meditation. It seems b4 u made this vid u shud of done moore RESEARCH.

I love how Aikido is it's own tier 😂😂😂
the only things it is useful for is training you staying calm and i like the weapons used in it (still is mostly trash in a real fight though)
A good self defense system needs to include,
•Defending against multiple attackers
•Defending against weapons
•If it's legal in your country, learning to use weapons
•Both the pre and post fight
•Scenario training
•What are the laws and reasonable force in your country
•How to avoid a fight, and being aware of your surroundings
•Pressure testing
•Training in different environments
Calling Judo a watered down jiujitsu is wrong. The more apt comparison is that Jiujitsu is a distilled version of Judo.
What Jiu-Jitsu are you talking about? Japanese Jiu-Jitsu or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
He is talking about BJJ dude. It is the only thing that would even logically make sense since BJJ descended from Judo
I agree with most of this but I would disagree that judo is a watered down bjj. Bjj has more groundwork but judo puts more emphasis on takedowns. I would put kyokushin and boxing above c tier too.
I don't think about kyoukushin but box for sure
@@edwardlygma2683 Actually you're right kyokushin at C tier is fine since there are no punches to the face. I would also put kung fu and krav maga at D tier.
Bad Cat Yeah but there’s still contact and Kyokushin has kicks so I would say they are around the same level
@@badcat6767 i mean krav maga is ultimate weapon with ultimate technic named "nut crasher" and its the only thing I have ever learned from krav maga
I agree boxing is really effective and judo has better takedowns to disable but bjj has better ground work!😊
Boxing and kung fu on the same ranking??????
No sense
Boxing should give at least an A. While it is a very unidimensional and not generalist combat, it is a very specialized combat sport. It is by far the best punching discipline from all others leaps and bounds. Definitely should be at least an A tier.
Boxing = A-B = Great-Good.
Kung fu = D = Nearly useless.
But kung fu has spear hand that's can make the boxer blind, even the boxer that have a great punch, but boxing is great too its has many footwork, agile, strength, and defense...... At the end both kung fu and boxing are great.

You can, but imo it’s better to really master two than to do a little of everything. Pick one striking and one grappling so you have a balance.
SooDoneWithYou yes I agree. What I meant was to have your own style that picks from different styles instead of trying to put each style against each othed
Don’t mean to be rude but have ever heard of MMA?
WachoGamer well yea that’s kinda what I was going at haha 😆. I was just saying that you can take all styles and create one that works for you. A “Mixed” style
Just do 2 styles heavily. Kickboxing and bjj is the best combo
Taekwondo D and it doesn't ONLY focus on kicks if me and you got 1 on 1 you would be down in 10 secs
To be u just need a martial art that fits u one of my friends felt ashame because he was doing karate and most of the tier lists people said karate was a bad martial art it’s ilke Bruce lee said it doesn’t matter what martial art u use unless it’s aikido
Did u really just said that Boxing is under Judo? I don't think u ve ever watched a boxing or a judo match
Seriously u missed Ameridote ?
pankration its basically mma without elbows knees kicks to the head, its the best legit martial arts for kids in my opinion, not too brutal but also legit sport, they use the side kick to the body as a takedown, which i dont know how to feel about, catching kicks becomes a very important skill that wouldnt be very useful in a realistic senario. I kinda cringe seeing them drop their hands to catch a body kick. But for the most part is a legit martial art with a game element, a little more casual, very high female participation compared to other grappling heavy martial arts.
Pankration does not even exist. What exist today is Pankration Athlima which is a McDojo with TKD gi created by a american kickboxer using the same name of the ancient sport. The real Pankration is long dead since Christianism.
MMA isn’t a martial art
Ur dumb 😂 MMA stands for mixed martial art
Josiah James No you are dumb, MMA is not a Martial art, it’s a competition, it’s considered a martial art because every style of MMA looks preatty alike but they still can’t be called martial arts, if you would’ve done your research you would know
So biased nonsence the two martial arts you do you give them an a
Karate is S
boxing is a s teir

Thanks for the feedback and for the watch!
"Tai Chi is basically a martial art for old people."
That's racist against the entire Water Tribe, you bastard.
Nice list
This guy don’t know things about boxing.
I know!!! When this guy is calling kickboxing boxing with kicks and putting boxing in the same tier as Kung fu I’m just like 🤦♂️ this guy is clueless.
I could only watch this half way, to do these kinds of lists u gotta have more history than this guy does
Boxing is low b tier
Kick Boxing is not a " style" it is the summation of fighting styles that utilize kicks and punches. But different competitions have different rule sets. Some do allow leg kicks others don't, some do allow knees and elbows others don't etc. A style would be something like "American Kickboxing", "Dutch Kickboxing" and even Muay Thai is just part of kickboxing.
Aikido is not throwing peepz wit ur mind aikido comes from daito-ryu-aikijujutsu. Also there is moore to taichi then meditation. It seems b4 u made this vid u shud of done moore RESEARCH.
Shud
A kick-boxer would loose most of the time to a boxer if they got to close.
Garbage list. Figures a blue belt would make this list.
