<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Hindus also need to hire East Asian martial arts specialists to learn ways to get by with no weapons. E-Asian martial arts experts are not like the lame western 'E-Asian martial arts' centres where they know nothing (the difference is really stark). It's like the difference between India's Hindu Yoga and the rip offs of 'yoga exercise and mental destressing' in the west.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Didn't want to go off topic on that thread but imo there are a lot of con artists on both sides of the ocean, i have seen enuf ridiculous crap done in the name of martial arts on tv programs about shaolin monks and other programs, in a real life fight they would get hammered.
The only useful martial arts for real life are muay thai and boxing (while standing, helps in kicking and other strikes), brazilian jiu jitsu and wrestling (grappling, submissions, and take downs). A lot of the fancy stuff done for tv's is just for show and would get people killed in real life.
Those are the 4 martial arts mainly used in MMA competitions, and MMA games are the closest u come to real fighting.
