Michael Norman says:

Boxing. Hands down.

Cain Bradley says:

I think kick boxing, if you are in a street fight And you are a good kick boxer, then that fight ain't going to the ground, maybe one of you are but it ain't the kick boxer

Joseph says:

Its very easy to defeat a Krav Maga specialist. Simply put a wager on it. "I will bet you $3,000 that you will lose. Get in the ring or shut up."

None of them will fight you

G. S. says:

Better know some striking. Any grappling discipline won't do you any good against 2 or 3 guys.

Charlie Bevinio says:

Imagine if after all the years of Joe talking fights he got sparked out by a random guy throwing haymakers with his eyes shut.

DaVinci says:

Lex Fridman: "What do you think the be-" Joe Rogan: "Jiu Jitsu."

ghost says:

For street fighting I would rather have my backup as grappling being that most people have way less knowledge of it than boxing/striking and most fights carry the possibility of others jumping in, which is a nightmare when fighting on the ground.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that…. we’re gona be all.. we’re gona be alright – XXXTentacion

Scott Martain says:

So what if a dude is just really good at biting people? Do you still have an answer.

Mahmoud jahen says:

Someone who trains to fight in a particle sport and competes against fighters .. that guy have a muscle twitch and a body coordination and better timing than someone who studies and theories fights.
Every fighter has had those moments of extreme physical innovation during the fight .. we all did something in a fight that we couldn't even theorize before.
I did Sanda wushu .. and now im a Judo dedicated practitioner.

RED_PILLED says:

Had funny idea what karate was as a kid i could not comprehend what would would happen in a fight between a guy that knew martial arts and a guy that didnt almost as if they would never be able to hit each other ? Sounds crazy now 🤔

DOYLECLEVERLOBE1 says:

Funny that Joe missed all those UFC fights that immediately paused when one of those "killers" got gouged in the eye, guess he had the night off.

Daniel Pedregal says:

1 vs 1 some grappling-based sport, BJJ etc
1 vs 2 or more, some muay thai-like sport.

Option 3. Do muay thai and use that insane cardio to run away from any altercation in the street. Not worth the risk of street fighting and they wont catch you with that cardio haha

Joel Lyons says:

A gun try to tap out a bullet lol

fredirecko says:

The more you know the better and in general it’s better to think to submit someone then it is to jump right to the death moves, but I agree with the Krav guys. There’s a lot of things that become impractical when your goal is devastating your opponent, rather then submitting them. Krav is pretty brutal.

Cesar Rodriguez says:

Joe Rogan's lucky I don't kick his ass!!!!!

JayLeePoe says:

grabbing clothing in judo is like lifting weights on the moon; you wouldn't believe how much more power you can generate until you felt it.

Al. X says:

What if you don't have time to roll in the dirt.

2004 ALCS says:

Jiu jitsu is fine if it’s a 1 on 1. But it’s horrible in any other environment. You will get kicked in the head and face by other opponents. Jiu Jitsu is actually horrible in self defense other then 1 on 1 only.

Hockeytown9 says:

Krav Maga is Mixed Martial Arts. Including Judo and Jiu Jitsu. It’s used by the Israeli and U.S. military. Talk about trained killers. I think people think real Krav Maga is the “make a magazine a weapon” or eye poke groin kick fake stuff. Part of that is ignorance and part is due to all of the fake schools.

Erik Edmonds says:

I used to do Street Karate…..

Ed` Bland says:

It is knowing where 2 strike and leverage.
I am the CREATORS 'healing' warrior.
I came forwards with how GOLD and PLATINUM were created to 'prove' my brain injury is being restored with THC so earth can be restored by growing HEMP.
How else could a 5.5 TBI patient do this ?
ADVANCE HUMANITY
Growing HEMP will restore the 'soil', will restore the 'atmosphere'.
Will create BIO-DEGRADABLE plastics.
RESTORE EARTH
This is the only way I can get this message out; HEMP plastics is the future for earth.
LET IT BE KNOWN;
I wrecked my Harley not wearing my helmet that stopped my heart 3 times, put me into an 87 day coma waking with a 5.5 brain injury requiring relearning life. Once returning home I tried having my doctor do an MRI of my brain to compare to my wreck. He refused telling me that BIG PHARMA will financially destroy any doctor that proves THC restores brain injuries.
This upset me so much that I taught myself MOLECULAR SCIENCE and went to the gold shop in KALISPELL MONTANA showing JB how copper transitioned into gold. This got me kicked out and he told 'city council' that I am making FOOLS GOLD from copper pass tests
Boiling water proves that 'heat' excites MOLECULES allowing ATOMS to escape.
This is how copper transitions into GOLD and nickel into PLATINUM.
Earth must be restored by growing HEMP world wide.
ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM

Ancient Future says:

That final statement from Rogan was golden.

UFC Freaks says:

WARNING ⚠️ DONT TOUCH ME 😜😜😜

Martian Moon says:

Jiu-Jitsu is probably the best for 1 on 1 fights, as long as you can get them to the ground.
However Krav Maga has some merit in dealing with multiple opponents, weapon disarmament, and weapon-based fighting.
There's a reason it's still the martial art of the Isreali Military… it's effective.

Overall it's a good thing to have in your bag, but shouldn't be the only martial art to have in your bag.
