Its consistent testing in combat situations between top athletes and practitioners has vastly increased its effectiveness on all levels.

There have been many stories and videos on the internet of boxers taking out muggers and thugs with a single punch – which is in fact all a boxer ever needs. A boxer’s entire body is trained solely to throw punches with more speed, accuracy and power than any other martial art.

This makes them extremely efficient even when outnumbered as they are able to eliminate threats almost at will. And with the strict discipline of blocking, constant head movement, and footwork, a boxer isn’t exactly the easiest target to hit either.



5) Wrestling

Many underestimate the power of You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. in a real-life encounter. But make no mistake about it, wrestling can enable anyone to defend themselves as effectively as any other martial art on this list.

Considered to be one of the oldest combat sports in history, wrestling is a martial art that relies on leverage, strong balance, explosive power and technical knowledge to control and take down an opponent and maintain a superior position.

The strength developed from practicing wrestling is incomparable to others. The pressure, explosiveness and control in-built in wrestlers make them extremely lethal when threatened.

Developed by Israel military, Krav Maga is a self-defense system that incorporates a wide combination of techniques from numerous martial arts like aikido, judo, wrestling, Muay Thai and more.

If there’s anything watching UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey has taught us, is that Judo can be more than useful in a street fight. Commonly practiced as a combat sport, the objective of this Japanese martial art is to either throw or takedown an opponent to the ground, immobilize or subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke.

This means that Judo practitioners are able to neutralize even the most violent and aggressive assailants at will once they come close to them. And that’s not all. Judo also incorporates weapon defenses and strikes and thrusts with the hands and feet that can be used in real-life self defense situations.
