Share positive with friends! Thank you! :)
Someone arguing about the qualities of martial arts thinks that it can be used in competitions and on the street. Someone thinks about applying against other martial arts. We will try to speculate in both of these directions.
Shock types of martial arts
TO shock species Common martial arts in which the struggle does not apply, and only strikes apply. Such sports can be attributed to Boxing, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Taekwondo, some kinds of karate and more. For each of them, competitions are held on which athletes can check the level of their skill.
At the moment, the formal sequences of movements are not applied in modern martial arts, which are used in traditional martial arts. A bright representative is karate with his kata. Many specialists in the field of martial arts kata are considered a remnant of the past and that now more attention should be paid to practice (work in pairs and sparring). But representatives of traditional martial arts believe that such formal working out of techniques and combinations are necessary.
My opinion on this score is that the formal testing of combinations in the air is of course needed, but they must go without tearing from practice so that every student understands, as this or that movements are used in a real situation.
Even in the same boxing athletes pay a lot of attention to work at the mirror, training the clarity of movements during shuffles. It is very valuable, because they understand that the right punch is more dangerous than poorly worked out.
Forersky styles of martial arts
In the struggle of working out in the air is much smaller than in traditional shock styles. But nevertheless, it is also present to some extent. In addition, in different directions of wrestling styles there are significant differences. Many of them prefer a certain level of struggle. For example, Judo gradually began to specialize more on the struggle in the rack than in the parter. And Jiu-Jitsu, on the contrary, passed mainly in the partner. This is due to the estimated system. sports Competition, preparing to which the athletes intensively work out those technical actions for which they can get more points in the tournament.
At the moment, only Sambo is more or less to balance between the upper and lower level of struggle.
Traditional types of martial arts
There are many martial arts, which, according to some experts, are suitable only for the competition and that they are useless outside. On this occasion a lot of attacks towards Taekwondo, Karate, Aikido, Wine Chun and other authentic martial arts.
In my opinion, partly such claims have foundations because such martial arts are stuck in their development.
The fact is that from the top of the centuries of the school of such martial arts tried to alienate from each other and did not exchange experience. Competitions naturally have not been done either. It happened from the fact that every school tried to preserve his individuality. But on the other hand, it could be due to the egoism of the founder of a certain combat direction and, as a result, due to fear, to compare his style with others, which inevitably leading to identifying many flaws and undermined the authority of the creator of this direction of martial arts. All this made the directions of martial arts are becoming more and more closed from the outside world. Exceptions are those combat directions that were developed for use in hostilities, that is, in wars. But this is again more applied directions, which most often used blade weapons. But but the fighters of such directions had great practice and the level of skill could be assessed by the representative of that about or other martial art or dead.
On the other hand, it may, it was the fear of death who did a martial art school closed. No one wanted to issue the secrets of deadly techniques that can be applied to eliminate the enemy.
Nevertheless, in our time, the success of skill directly depends on the ability to enrich their own experience, identify their own shortcomings and work them out.
Wrestlers vs. Shocks
At the competition is checked by the skill of athletes in their sport. They compete in equal terms and there are no contradictions here. Who better owns competitive discipline, he wins. But who will win if representatives of different martial arts meet on the street?
If the battle will take place one on one. The chances of winning will be about equal to representatives of different types of martial arts. For example, two absolutely abstract athletes met in battle: judoist and boxer. Which of them will win if the skill level is approximately the same?
Answer this question will not work objectively. If a judo person has time to make a capture and make an amplitude throw, to which the boxer will be clearly not ready, as it did not study neither the right falls, then the fight on this will be at the end. But if it happens so that when trying to make seizure, he feels on a counter blow, then the fight will also be finished early, but already in favor of the drummer in the person of the boxer.
And this applies to almost any shock or wrestling form of martial arts. There will be a lot to depend on the ability to avoid what you are not ready and start doing what is ready. But if something I would like to avoid, the chance of loss will be great.
Street
So what kind of martial art is more efficient for street fight against the usual, random rival? Again, if the battle will take place one on one, then any martial art will be effective: and wrestling and shock. But if the fight takes place against two or more rivals, then there is an efficiency on the side of the drummers. Obviously, you can fight 
at the same time, only with one opponent, while his partners can strike a fighter whose hands are busy, which eliminates the opportunity to defend themselves.
The drummer in turn can strike a bit alternately by several opponents, the main thing to elect the right tactics of fighting and have the required craftsmanship.
But on big accountWhat skill would not have an athlete, a fight against several rivals - this is what you need to avoid all the might, as it is too dangerous. After all, no one knows that it can get the street scumbag in itself from the dress. Nevertheless, the drummer compared to a wrestler in any street fight there is always an advantage. This advantage is the opportunity to escape the flight. Thanks to the performance of battle with the help of shocks, not throws, a shock-style fighter always has the ability to break the distance with rivals to several kilometers.
But it can also be that hooligans have experience in street fights and know that if a sample is approaching, the sacrifice cannot be released, and will try to make a capture in order to pull the time before the arrival of their hooligan associates. To be able to avoid such problems, the fighter should be able to get rid of the capture, and this is already partly a fighter skill.
It means, so, for street combat, it is advisable to have shock skills and some basic base Fight, at least in order not to be on the ground and not to be scored legs.
Mixed Martial Arts Styles
And now let's find out what kind of martial art gives the skills and shock, and wrestling technology simultaneously. 
This, as many people already guessed, martial arts mixed styles. The martial arts of mixed styles includes:
- Hand-to-hand fight
- Army hand-to-hand fight
- Pankration,
- Combat Sambo,
- Kudo
- Wushu Santa,
- MMA (Mix Fight).
Despite the obvious advantages that were justified above, mixed styles have one drawback. In view of the large volume of material in the form of a shock and wrestling technology, mixed styles fighters in order to extract the discipline under study, it is necessary much more time than it is required to master homogeneous styles. That is why people who already own any martial art often come to mixed martial arts and want to expand their battle arsenal, as well as learn to bind it among themselves.
