Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    How about Krav Maga? http://www.kravmaga.com/

    Comment

      Brazilian jiu-jitsu blue belt omniscient is incorrect.

      Muay-Thai is useless when you're out in a social setting. What are you going to do, stand and try to kick and elbow someone when his friends are all punching you in the back of the head? The best thing for a street fight with multiple opponents is body armor and a gun.

      .IMHO

      On the street BJJ is superior. Especially the non-guard type fighter who is aggressive and know how to slap arm locks or chokes on from any position. Factor in dirty tactics and BJJ is unstoppable.

      As for stand up arts there is Boxing and of course Muay Thai is one of the very best stand up arts for the street and if there’s more than one opponent the Dutch style is very good.

      Greco Roman and Wrestling get honorable mention. As stand alone arts they don’t work well enough but with someone who knows how to apply the art the right way its dangerous

      Dark Horse honorable mention: Judo

        Krav Maga is ok. It's got some nice techniques, and it's probably one of the few arts that teaches decent gun and grenade disarms.

          I say Krav Maga is the best form of self defense for a street fight.

Some Muay-Thai is good for stand up. But if it is to be a one on one organized match then Brazilian jiu-jitsu would be my first choice but rarely are you going to be in that situation when you're in the streets.
            No one said Muy Thai is not good, but that is the misconception that all too often all Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is, is fighting from the guard.

                I've tried Krav Maga also, I went to the national training center which is right in Los Angeles. Their instructors are certified by the Israeli Ministry of Education and includes expert, internationally recognized law enforcement defensive tactics instructors. I saw people like Green Berets who had killed several people with their hands alone. Anyway, I only went one time but I didn't get into it enough so I can't really say if I thought it was effective. For the most part the beginner level 1 class was more physical than technique.

                  And don't get me wrong Brazilian jiu-jitsu can be useful standing up since they also teach you how to take someone down to the ground from a standing position also, so it can be useful.

                    You contradicted yourself though. you're saying Muay-Thai is useless in a social setting but in the second paragraph you say for stand up there is Muay-Thai.

                    One thing I know is whenever you're in the streets or in a social setting you don't want to be on the ground no matter what. You want to be standing. Now of course you can be punching, elbowing, kicking, and still be getting hit on the head but I would rather get hit standing up then on the ground where is where you will stay if a few people catch you there. And I don't know about you but I don't think I'm going out in body armor anytime soon lol unless I've really lost it.

                    BTW, I've stopped going for almost 6 months now which I regret, got lazy and my place is far. I never ONCE got my instructor to tap out dammit and I was a lot bigger than him too. Who do these black belts think they are .

                      I wish I had the Wrestling skills of Mark Coleman, and the submission expertise of Sakuraba, and the stand up of Chuck Liddel.
