For many years and many generations alot of people debate on which style of martial arts is a better self defense than the others. Arts like karate, Wing chun Kung fu, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Brazilian jujitsu, judo, boxing, wrestling etc... Truth is there is no such thing as this style is better than the other. Let’s break down the top seven arts one by one…. 1.Karate : is a great offense for punch’s and kicks the one problem about that style is they tend to drop there hand low while punching from there waist and kicking with minimal force that is barely stuns your attacker depending on what part of the body you strike at your attacker and on top of that the stance is to wide. 2. Wing chun/ Kung fu : is a good counter attack for quick offense and distance closing the only down side is the stance is too limited and your exposing your neck too much when you attack forward with volleyball punches you lack proper protection for defense when your attacker blocks the attack.. 3. Taekwondo : is good for flexibly and distance when it comes to using your legs a lot but lacks keeping the hand up for on coming attacks especially since not many attackers is gonna stand there and let you do flips and spinning attacks. 4. Muay Thai : is a great for aggressiveness and mental toughness involving the elbow and knee attack defense punches and kicks most people would agree that this art is a better optimal for self defense which is not a bad thing however the problem with the style is not gonna protect you from on coming attacks like bats, knives, and multiple attacking people on top of that the stance most attacks from Thai fighters are to flat footed and slow with there kick and punches no matter how powerful there attack is so depending on the situation using Muay Thai in self defense is still not enough. 5. Boxing: like Muay Thai is also a good self defense option involving the the technique of punches and footwork and good for mental toughness.But the only down side like Muay Thai it lacks basic awareness when it comes to dealing with not one but multiple people so throwing jab cross multiple times is not enough especially when you throw your punches it at the straight center line on top striking one part of the body the the upper four head is is a recipe for disaster due to the it being the hardest part of the body that results in your knuckles being broken and if there is more people you leaving yourself vulnerable due to your fist being jacked up and unable to continue punching.. 6.Brazilian jujitsu : is a great grappling system to use in self defense due to many types of different locks in the technique but the down side to it is it is only effective in a one on one situation if you having to restrain one person and other is attacking you the you will get hurt bad.. 7.Wrestling: is a great combat ground work sport due to the quick athletic and powerful take down, but the down side like Brazilian Jujitsu using this art in a one on one situation is gonna be effective but with multiple people attacking at the same time I’d rethink that.. 8. Judo: is a great martial art system that is used for take downs grappling and quick body throws. Like jiu-jitsu and wrestling it’s only used for one on one attack not multiple attacks you can’t throw someone and defend at the same time. Conclusion: Now that we break down the top martial arts and weaknesses what is the better optimal self defense? All martial arts is a good for defense but with each weakness being exposed it would be recommend that you train in Krav Maga. Krav Maga is an israelí martial art that is created and used for the military special forces and police to fight off multiple people with or with weapons. Training involve pressure points and other weak points in the body they train to incompassionate destroy and kill the human body quick and in seconds. It’s a very deadly form of martial arts that is recommended for even females to use to fight off potential robbery , murder or rape..

Martial arts beginning
Everyone has a interest in watching martial arts when they look at movies, demonstrations in parks, YouTube videos and other things.They go wow awesome I wish I was like that but then forget it like it’s yesterday news. But then there are people who are truly dedicated and genuinely interested in learning the way of the fist when it comes to fighting, all starts from somewhere that a lot of people usually don’t like to talk about there interest in the art like being bullied in school or watching, movies or being inspired by a friend or family member that trains in the art to truly be inspired by it. But people don’t realize martial arts is more than just training it’s a way of life just like eat and drinking is a way of life. You have to put a lot of sacrifice of your time to master the art. It’s natural to try it but it’s hard to dedicate your time and your life to training in it. Before you start your journey every journey has a beginning. 1.First where they first watched the art and got involved in martial arts everyone journey is different whether by watching the videos on YouTube , or by getting bullied in school, or by getting inspiration by someone you know who trains in the art 2.Why there interested in learning the art is a topic a lot of people nine times out of ten do it to learn how to fight back against bullies. According to statistics Nearly 14% of public schools report that bullying is a discipline problem occurring daily or at least once a week. Reports of bullying are highest in middle schools (28%) followed by high schools (16%), combined schools (12%), and primary schools (9%). Bullying is the most common cause for people with low self esteem and self confidence particularly for overweight or obese people to stand up for themselves that results in parent taking them to there first martial arts class to learn how to defend themselves. 3. When they step into a martial gym or dojo for the first time they watch the seminar from the bench before a manager or someone comes by over to talk to you about your reasons for being there. They’ll ask you what are your interests are in learning and you pick a art to learn whether it’s boxing, kickboxing/Muay Thai, judo, Brazilian jujitsu, wrestling, karate, taekwondo, kung fu or mma 4.You pick a art your interested in now what do I do you well tell yourself why I’m there in the first place. Instead of training for a short amount of time then quite your journey afterwards. Tell yourself I’m not going to quit I’m not gonna go back to that guy or girl who was weak, dumb and unattractive to women or men and tell myself I belong here I’m not gonna quit on myself because of a little push above my limit, because if Bruce lee or other martial arts figures who experience bullying kept training and didn’t quit why am I. 5. Now that time has passed and you kept your training intact and diet intake now what do I do from there well simple answer is nothing you keep pushing forward to new heights martial arts is your whole life there is no training for a few days, a few weeks a few months or a few years then quitting. You keep training and training and training because it’s your way of living. And then pass this knowledge to your kid’s or the next generation, just like breathing air is a way of living you need oxygen to survive so train your whole life until your final breath before leaving this realm to the next generation. In conclusion martial arts is forever in every one lifetime

A Flower Song
Apparently the Aztecs, Toltecs, Chichimecs and other Mexica were crazy about poetry. Despite the book-burning, slaughter, and epidemics that characterized the early stages of the Spanish conquest of the empires of Mexico, some hundreds of poems from the height of their tradition come down to us in Classical Nahuatl, preserved by Nahua and Spanish scholars of the 16th century. One of the most famous poets, Nezahualcoyotl, was a sage-king who opposed the cult of human sacrifice associated with Tezcatlipoca, God of the Smoking Mirror, and favored Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent. Flowers and feathers were the favorite offering of the Plumed Serpent. Moreover, flowers and feathers are a metaphor for poetry. Individual words, scattered petals, the down of tropical birds. The temples of blood sacrifice could be transformed into temples of flower and song. A sublimated offering to the Heart of Earth and the Heart of Sky encapsulated in the Classical Nahuatl kenning for poetry: in xōchitl in cuīcatl, meaning, "the flower and the song." The following poem is part of a longer work, and is in a state of flux, so take the waters as they flow:
