Teach Yourself Self Defense
How much does martial arts help you in life?
I know that some fighting styles tend to actually defend yourself and break bones while other fighting styles are all about fancy footwork...and then there are those that can only use weaponry. I hear people saying that most of the time classic street fighting will overcome all of these. I wanted to learn martial arts, but I'm having doubts...is there really any point to learning martial arts when people claim that it fails to teach you any real type of 'self defense' ?
What on earth is 'classic street fighting'? there is nothing classical between two unskilled morons beating the crap out of each other, hitting each other with sticks, rocks, and garbage can lids! Find a good classical martial art (karate, TKD, Chinese MA, many others) with an instructor versed in protection and study long and hard. You will gain more from that than ability to protect, but you will have that too.

Is it possible to teach yourself how to fight?
Do any of you think its possible to teach yourself, self defense or martial arts? Such as creating a new fighting style yourself. I mean martial arts did always have masters and teachers there waiting to teach people, they were made by people.
My grandfather didn't learn martial arts from a teacher, he was a baker too. As a baker he pounds on bread doughs. With this and his size it gave him speed and brute strength. I mean he was able to defeat 3 soldiers in street fighting. My mom and all of her siblings saw it.
So is it possible to make my own techniques and become stronger without an instructor? I know I won't be able to defeat true martial art masters or long time practitioners but is it good enough to defend myself?
Thank you masters.
I've learned some kick boxing when I was in middle school. IN 9th grade I learned some Wing Chun from my Aunt's ex bf.
Someone invented the first martial art, right? The answer to your question is yes, you can definately train yourself without a teacher.
As for your latter comment about not being able to defeat a long time practitioner with a self trained art, consider this. In feudal Japan, the shogun's samurai were often killed at the hands of unarmed peasants when they came to their villages. You can definately in every facet train yourself to be just as good or better than any master, but you have to accept the fact that you'll have to work five times harder than they did.
The comment about bulking up and just using size to overpower - it's naive. Don't waste your time on training like that - it'll only work on people with little or no experience, and won't teach you how to focus, maintain stamina, strike or defend, or take a hit/fall. Anything is possible until you doubt.
