3 No-Nonsense Martial Arts That Will Keep You Alive on the Street

September 30, 2018 By MAO40 Staff

Are you looking to stay alive while navigating the often rough streets. There are three terrific martial arts that will help keep you alive in scary situations. Krav Maga is the self defense art that was created by Israel’s military. It neutralizes threat, makes efficiency of movements and is highly effective. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu takes the fight to ground level and focuses primarily on joint locks or chokes. Finally, Muay Thai, used by UFC fighters, makes use of hands, feet, elbows and knees.
