In what order are these fighting styles most effective for street fighting?

Jiu-jitsu


Boxing


Submission Grappling


Kickboxing

Reply:No rules or styles for street fighting, pick up the first thing you see and start swinging
Reply:You will only need boxing,if you can bang.
Reply:This is hard. All of these have their strengths and weaknesses. If I could, I'd choose a mixture of all four....but that's not what you asked.





So, keeping in the spirit of the question, my opinion (and keep in mind, this is only opinion) is as follows:





1) Jiu Jitsu. It's pretty tough to match someone who can take your best punches and redirect the energy until you wind up flat on your stomach with your arm out of its socket. If a practitioner also knows some atemi (strikes), it's even more effective. Traditional Jiu Jitsu, however, is pretty lousy at confronting multiple opponents....





2) Boxing. It keeps you off the ground. Being on the ground in a street fight is generally bad news. It also teaches you how to take a punch without throwing up. However, boxers tend to train as if their opponents will fight "by the book", and there really is no "book" in a street fight, so a boxer can be caught off guard.





3) Submission Grappling. While winding up on the ground in a fight is generally bad, understanding what to DO when you're on the ground is a good thing. However, grappling around with one guy tends to leave you open to getting stomped on by his drunk friend.





4) Kickboxing. Despite their undeniable potential devastation, there is generally no place in street fighting for elaborate kicks. It's too easy to have someone catch your leg and throw you off balance, thus putting you at a real disadvantage. I will admit, however, that there really is nothing better to FINISH a fight than a well-placed kick....but they just take so long to deliver that a good street fighter will hit you four times before you can connect with one kick.





Again...just my opinion. Others will have their own.

Reply:Jiu Jitsu - method can be applied to fight against other fighting styles and it's very efficient in preserving energy by using the opponent's. And it would be useful to use against someone who threw drunken punches too.





Kickboxing - gives you that powerful kick and speed when you need it... I wouldn't suggest you kick if you get involved in a streetfight, unless you are down on the ground though... coz if you have that space to kick someone then that means you have enough room to run away.





Boxing - let's face it, most people on the street would throw punches... and well.. what can I say about boxing? PUNCH!!!





Submission Grappling - to me this is not as efficient unless you are down on the ground... while Jiu Jitsu covers all ground (standing up and on the ground), this grappling isn't that usefull. Plus if you learn other tricks (out of the above list), then you'd have more chances of being the one who stand instead of the one on the ground.
Reply:in a street fight its kinda tough to get technical...in a street fight you better just pick your target and tee off on em'...in a one on one fight, i could see jui jitsu being the only art that could help you-just take him to the ground and make him go to sleep or wrench his arm off! lol
Reply:Good luck trying to wrestle someone when its 3 on 1.





You've pretty much got the order correct right there.

its true
Reply:first of all sunmission grappling is the same thing as brazilian jiujitsu. the only difference is a wearing a gi or not. and people u fight always have some clothes on so either one is the most effective. and boxing and kick boxing are very close too, the only small difference is kicking or not. but grappling wins over striking 90 percent of the time, and thats already been proven. the 10 % strikers do win is usually when the grappler tries to strike with the striker and gets KOed.
Reply:Most masters of anything will lose a street fight but if you are being ganged up on than run if you dont have any fighting friends along w/ you but one on one Judo, Kenpo, and Sivot if you know it is and have really good balance
Reply:In a true street fight there is no style. There should be a blending of all know skills, boxing, kickboxing, and so on. Due to the randomness of the fights, you don't know what you might have to deal with. So each skill set will lend its self to different situations. The most important skill set to have when dealt a street fight is, the ability to disarm your opponent. If you are facing an armed opponent it changes the situation greatly.


There is however one skill that will work quite often, that is common sense. The ablity to end a fight before it starts is the greatest skill of all.
