Mma Self Defense

which martial arts are good for mma training and street self defense?

are these styles good for mma and street fight?
kyokushin,muay thai,tkd,judo and bjj



Contrary to the fellow above me Judo is one of the BEST arts for self defense on the street. The ability to throw someone onto their head on the concrete while still remaining upright and mobile yourself is incredibly valuable. Judo also has much of the same Ground game as BJJ, though not as emphasised and so will help you learn to escape if you do get tackled or something like that. Combine Judo with Muy Thai or Kyokushin, two very solid striking arts and you have a good mix that covers the Striking range, the clinching range, and the grappling range.
If you don't have Judo you'll want Muy Thai as your striking art for the Clinch component. Most standup arts don't do much in the clinch which is a very important range as it is generally your skill in the clinch that determines who controls the range of the fight. A grappler with a really good clinch will tie up with a good striker and force the fight to the ground. A striker with a really good clinch can control a grappler and keep the fight standing.
BJJ has the strongest ground component of the arts you listed, but pretty much no takedowns. Muy Thai is the strongest standup style and complements BJJ very well.

what is the best way for a woman to learn how to fight? What type of self defense?

I am interested in learning how to defend my self in general, so if I was attacked by a man I would want to know how to fight him off, or even a giant woman, LOL!! Well I was just wondering what type of self defense I should look into. Boxing? MMA? kickboxing?



I understand your situation and MMA is definately not the appropriate one. It's limited by the rules of what you can't do and designed for 3 x 5 minute rounds.

The best thing you can do for yourself is look up Krav Maga. Krav Maga has boxing, kickboxing, jiujitsu in it, just in a much more appropriate composition for self defence. Or if you have longer, say 2 years, then Wing Chun would be better. If you look up the history of Wing Chun you would see that it's the same as what you are asking.

Please at least look them up and see for yourself. I believe Krav Maga will be the best thing for you. You may wish to youtube "human weapon krav maga" and "fight quest krav maga"
