I want to learn to defend myself and react adequately in extreme situations. I don't want to study karate for 10 years. Or I study martial arts related to spiritual practices, because I am a believing Christian. I don't want to learn something that if I stop practicing I will forget. It has to be something earthy and just like movements, karate fighters don't fight, they make movies in my opinion very strange movements and sounds. I'm reserved for boxing because I've heard you're dumb - cells are dying. Simply put, to defend myself and learn the fastest and most efficiently without becoming a ninja, martial arts do not become my life. What do you think about kickboxing and MMA? Thanks in advance.

Muay Thai is the best complex martial art, but in Bulgaria we do not have many trained coaches and it is a difficult sport, but it is the best.
MMA and Kickboxing are sports not martial arts. For street fighting without equipment Muay Thai or Taekwondo. In Muay Thai there are more injuries in Taekwondo, more protective equipment is worn. In such extreme situations as you are talking about, no one it can guarantee you nothing, so they are also called extreme. If you are a Christian, believe that when they hit one cheek, you have to turn the other.
Boxing does not dull. Basically, if they hit you in the head, as with boxing, for example, for years, there is a high chance that you will injure your brain and get mental problems from there. This does not only apply to boxing, but to all martial arts that train blows to the head. This problem can be prevented if you wear a helmet, but not all gyms train with them. Otherwise, there is no martial art to help you defend yourself in "extreme situations". If someone tries to do something to you (rob you, for example), the most logical thing you can do is obey him or try to run away. If you start resisting, you will most likely be stabbed or shot. So my advice is if you are trying to protect yourself from "extreme situations"
And Bagata trains mma that he is also world-class, but they stabbed him again. Nothing helps on the street. Let three people surround you with knives, and you train as much as you want. It's even more dangerous if you're trained, because you'll think of Bruce Lee and jump into battle for good or bad until you find your master. The people have said it - everyone is equal in front of the corner.
Wide spray is the job. Even if you don't hit him properly in the first moment, his first reaction is to wash away immediately before the jet hits him in the face and he has seizures.
Krav Maga
Honestly? Gun! Otherwise Krav Maga. "without much becoming a ninja" - Wow! Don't do that! "I study martial arts related to spiritual practices, because I am a believing Christian." Hhahaha. Then what is the problem. The Lord will protect you, and if he has decided that he should not, then this is his plan and you should leave it to him.
Martial arts are not for self-defense. For self-defense there is a hot spray, there are electric shocks, there are firearms, and most of all you have legs and a head. There are many videos on youtube on the topic from people who have dealt with them. Martial arts are to gain confidence, to do some men's sport, and it's a matter of personal taste what you like. Against an opponent without a weapon, the opinion is that ju-jitsu is most appropriate. Ie for some school gatherings. If it is a real situation, with more than one person, cold steel or firearms, no martial arts will protect you ... By the way, a helmet does not protect you from concussions, but only to have a partner whom you believe will not beat you. . There is no way to learn kickboxing / mma without learning boxing. Boxing is a basic skill. Catch them and at least look at how these sports look real and what you like,

Hello author, I notice that you have a slightly distorted idea of martial arts, so let's clarify things: First: it is unlikely that somewhere in Bulgaria you will be able to study art with spiritual practices, you will be taught technique everywhere, you will not study philosophy anywhere. Second: Karate is not as pretentious as it seems at the demonstrations. The sparring, competitions and the street is much different. See this video for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6XpNLoUBr8 If you don't think anything special, then you haven't fought much. I know a karate coach who has a hell of a lot of cops going to get ready. Third: Anything you want to be good at will take years of training and some of it will be lost once you stop. Nothing happens in a month or two and nothing is eternal. Fourth: In every martial art there is a kind of "becoming a ninja" in one form or another: For boxing you have to be as fast as lightning, for karate you have to be flexible, for wrestling you have to be as strong as a cattle. But I'll tell you one thing: If you don't care, it's not worth it, you'll just waste your time and wear paint for nothing (I wear it as a workout, but at least it's for something). I would advise you to try something without prejudice, or you may like it. Every room I've been to so far accepts recruits of all ages and you won't need equipment anywhere, at least for the first time. My opinion is that one should exercise regularly anyway, so you have nothing to lose from such an endeavor. Congratulations and good luck! you will only waste your time and wear paint for nothing (I also wear it as a training but at least it is for something).

I think that combat sambo is very good and is great for self-defense against aggressive types on the street, but combined with boxing or kickboxing it is even more effective. Eastern martial arts are praised. There people are thin in stature and weight and their techniques seem effective in demonstration, there is no way with taekwondo, wing chun, or karate to get rid of a huge aggressive hooligan over 100kg. I've seen him live, it's not effective. That's why these disciplines don't introduce them to MMA, as they are inapplicable on the street. Fighting on the street is an aggressive mover, and beauty and attraction usually fade. Judo and Aikido are interesting, but somehow they have an overly humane style. Aikido uses the power of the opponent against himself, but a lot depends on what the opponent is and how explosive he is. I don't know if there are Krav Maga schools, because it looks quite realistic and easy, and looking effectively. Even I have improvised with some movements and I have brought down people to the ground, and this is more or less based on the cow magician. it is digestible. The struggle is not to be underestimated either. Fighters are the hardest to take down. And if you are attacked by a fighter and Muay Thai will not help you.
A spray would be much more useful than years of training.
Try Aikido. I trained 5 years ago and I am very happy with the self-defense lessons he gave me. F, 17
