I believe my martial arts is effective for the fact that it is one of the closest things to a real fight,it's a mixed martial arts know as Pankration.

 

Pankration=MuayThai and Submission Wrestling.

 

In Pankration and shooto you can use techniques other styles won't allow you to do ,in other words we can use shins,knees,elbows,uppercut,stand up neck wrestling,grappling involving chokes,arm bars,leg locks,ankle locks,elbow locks,knee bars,wrist locks,neck cranks,elbowing guy to head or body while on his back etc.

 

Beside Pankration and arts similar to it like Shooto,are the ones that always won in UFC,I never see any traditional artists doing it.

 

I have also done traditional arts,Goju Ryu Karate,and Meibu kan karate,that teach mostly forms,which do have some good techniques within the katas,but the forms themselves are useless.Most traditional artists don't even know the bunkai to their forms.One problem with katas are the stances that would never work in a real situation. The fact that katas are pre-arranged forms,and away of fighting imaginary opponents in order to work on technique, makes traditional arts like karate,kung,tae kwon do,nothing but useless for self-defense.

 

To improve on technique one must practice on another opponent or at least hit heavy bag.Hitting and kicking in the air is useless.In a real situation you won't be kicking or punching air,so why practice that way.

 

My style doesn't do forms,we get straight to the point,no B.S stuff,we practice all techniques on a class mate then put it to use in sparring,so we're basically always using what we learn on some one.We don't punch air,if not punching some one,we punch and kick heavy bag,focus mitts,and kicking shields.Contact with force is what one needs in order to make a good fighter and to have a proper martial arts without it is completely useless,unless you're not doing martial arts for self-defense.

 

Conclusion:

 

I like my art due to the fact there are no forms and that it is more realistic then traditional arts.We study street-defense.

i beleive TKD is effective because i have heard many storys from other students. we also spar alot which helps me learn to use blocks and dodging.

 

SC-JJ i recon would be effective but it would take quite a while and alot of practise to get those techniques smooth.
