I am thinking of doing a martial art, i want to know the most effective and lethal one to do that can be applied to actual fight situations and defeating multiple attackers. I have been looking over the internet and am thinking Muay Thai or Brazilian Jujitsu or a combination of both.|||Probably Krav Magna for it was designed specifically for real life combat under today%26#039;s situations.
sure the other styles and arts are good but Krav though i do not practice it myself seems exceptionally good for real life situations compared to many I have seen.
As always though it comes down to how good the teacher is and how well you learn from them.|||well from what i discovered is that systema and aikido have worked better for me then any other i have taken everbody down no matter what and it works in any sitiuation and it doesnt require much energy.

|||The best system is the one that is quick and easy to learn and works at all ranges and in all situations you can possibly think of. This system is probably a gun, you learn handling it and shooting within 10mins, so if you live in the US of A, get yourself a gun! Now, there is no best system, each system is only as good as the individual user of the same, so try out some systems and see how you personally feel about it. Best is a mixed art that comprises kicking, punching, and grappling, less frills the better. Kicks are good long range weapons (go no higher than waist level), but you have only one leg on the ground and become vulnerable to a grappler.
In the UFC tournaments it has been the grapplers who succeeded most of the times, until the standup fighters learnt grappling.
Against multiple attacker and/or weapons the best defence is the fastest 100m time, there is no shame in running/retreating if odds are vastly against you.
But even with the best training and system, you need to have the fighting spirit, no use of any system if you freeze when it%26#039;s getting serious.
%26quot;The best victory is the one you win without fighting%26quot;|||Multiple attackers .Think escape aikido is big on escape technique.|||It is often the error of a lot of beginners to think that it is the style that makes the difference. It is actually the quality of the training and the student, as well as the number of hours of work put in. Generally try something well rounded, and not sport specific. Also remember that you cannot really learn a technique good enough for reall lif without realy investing some time into it. Try out classes to find what you like, because that is what you are most likely to stay with. Also stay away from hopping around at first. A lot of beginers get discouraged because they think the guy over there is doing something spectacular that they should be learning right now, and end up being %26quot;practitioners of many and masters of none.%26quot; It takes a while to learn good basics that become reflexive. Keep in mind %26quot;lethal%26quot; stuff is not legal too so take what you learn with a grain of salt and some common sense. Good luck and have fun.|||Let me tell you one thing for sure.
BJJ against multiple attackers will get you killed.
Think about it.
While you%26#039;re trying to submit one guy, the other guys would be pounding on you...
Hahaha...
The best way is to learn Muay Thai or other striking and strike them in the ear (This may sound funny but it%26#039;s extremely painful and will immobilze them.) and run away.
:D|||I%26#039;m not an expert, but I took a self defence course and my instructor said that realistically, you can%26#039;t fight against a single attacker, let alone multiple ones. Only in the movies can guys last for 10 minutes, knocking out 5 bad guys.
Apparently, in real life, you are only good for %26lt; 10 seconds before you are totally spent of energy - and that is assuming you don%26#039;t get knocked out cold or stabbed or shot.
Out on the street, the best thing to do is to escape, which is what a good self-defence course will teach.
But, if you are 6%26#039;5%26quot;, 250 lbs, I might give you more a chance with the more %26quot;pro-active%26quot; approaches that some of the other Answers recommend.|||nothing beats a gun|||I%26#039;ve found that Isshin-Ryu works for me.|||Boxing teaches you both defence and attack.|||I agree with billybean, its very hard to beat up multiple enemies unless they are all toddlers or you are bruce lee. Muay thai is pretty good but for real life situations i%26#039;d pick Karate, Krav Maga or aikido.|||I have been studying martial arts for nearly 20 years now, and I don%26#039;t think any single style is effective in all situations.
I fully agree with the past guys saying in a multiple attacker situation most of the time despite your training you will be in trouble, however...
My personal view is that a combination of Brazilian JJ and a striking focussed martial art such as Tae Kwon Do/Karate etc is the best mix.
BJJ will get you out of trouble in the bulk of fights that end up on the ground, and a focussed striking style will hopefully stop you from getting on the ground for a streetfight.
You might be better than the guy you are fighting on the street, but if you are on the ground and he has mates who can help him you are in strife!
Aikido is great too! Love that but personally think that BJJ is more practical.|||You have been watching too many films. There is no way in reality that any one person can %26quot;defeat%26quot; multiple attackers in a fight situation. You will get seven kinds of shiy knocked out of you in short order.
Don%26#039;y even think about it.|||You need a combination of martial arts.
KRav MAga is dirty and self defense... that will do the job and let you escape if possbile.
You should also take Brazilian Jujitusu, which will help if the last attacker takes you to the ground. Then you can just choke him out and go home.|||Japanese Jiu-Jitsu or Chinese Kung fu are still the most effective street fighting martial arts.
Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu is not designed for street fighting but for ring fighting to win trophies in front of cheering spectators Muy Thai is also a ring fighting style for competition and is clumsy and vague in a street fight.|||Truthfully......the most effective one is the one you can employ most effectively. No-one here can tell you what that will be for you, you have to discover this for yourself through trial and error.
Beyond this would be a concern for your intiial question, %26quot;applied to actual fight situations and defeating multiple attackers.%26quot; The whole purpose of every marital art dsicipline is to avoid those very scenarios, so if you%26#039;re seeking out training to engage in those, then you will be in for a rude awakening if the instructor you find is worth the weight of their belt.
I would suggest trying any of the arts you expressed an interest in and finding the one you enjoy most, value the instructor/s most, and are most effective in. THAT will be the most effective for you - despite what opinions anyone else on this forum have.

Ed Parker%26#039;s Kenpo Karate is designed specifically toward actual situations, and traditional boxing (often called Pugilism) gyms used to cover a large number of these situations, but haven%26#039;t since the 1950s. (Some of the boxing self-defense is documented in old texts prior to the 20th century, while the change of boxing gyms from self-defense to sport oriented is documented by Jack Dempsey in his two books, one on punching hard, the other on self-defense written for the military. all techniques he learned in his boxing gym)|||I%26#039;ve studied a number of martial arts over the years and trained in Tae kwon Do, Muay Thai, Kali (Phillipino Grappling and knife fighting), Black Dragon Jiu Jitsu, Kyokoshin Karate, Wing chun, Jeet kun Do, Tai Chi, Aikido, Hapkido and Kempo.
Each style has its own strengths and weaknesses, Tae Kwon do is really good for aerial kicking techniques, which is great if you%26#039;re fighting on a football field where there is plenty of room to move, not much good in a crowded bar or an alleyway. Jiu Jitsu I did%26#039;nt much like as every move was pretty much designed to kill or maim your opponent. Wing Chun I had issues with its footwork, crossing ones legs in order to get a greater degree of pivot and therefore a more powerful kick also meant that just prior to that monster kick your balance was compromised, hapkido taught me pressure point strikes but trying to apply them in a fight situation was difficult. Tai Chi was incredibly physically demanding, I did%26#039;nt expect it to be so, but the first three 2 hour lessons are spent in horse riding stance on the balls of your toes.
What I%26#039;ve done, is to study all these different martial arts and more or less created an amalgam of the lot, so I use what ever is appropriate for the situation.
All I can say is that if you are in the situation of having to take on multiple opponents and no reasonable chance of escape back yourself into a corner and punch and kick as hard and fast as you can while remaining as calm as you can, make every shot count, you only ned one good shot to knock someone out.
Up close and personal... My best recommendation would be Muay Thai, only because it teaches distance fighting with kicks and punches as well as grappling, throwing and short attack techniques through elbows, knees and headbutts.
The main problem you have is that you don%26#039;t know what training your opponent(s) have had, which for my money is just another good reason to only use what you have learned for defensive purposes. If martial arts has taught me anything at all, its that every situation can be resolved through talking, if you have to throw a punch, in effect, you%26#039;ve already lost.
