Why Karate Is Effective In a Street Fight
It is very simple. When we talk about street fighting and self-defense, no martial art comes close to Karate. Some people might actually have their doubts, of which I don't blame them because they most likely have only witnessed people who weren't trained right make use of Karate. However, I assure you that it is the best self-defense if this particular martial art is taught and trained correctly.
But that doesn't sound so valid if I don't provide reasons for this claim or fact. And so, in today's video, I will be giving you reasons why Karate is generally considered the best self-defense in street fighting. So, stick around to the end of the video, so you don't miss anything.
I think we can all agree that Karate is one of the most popular and most practiced martial arts globally. However, many people have come up with different reasons to criticize classical Karate, some of which are outdated, unrealistic, and ineffective compared to modern-day self-defense methods.
But really, how true is that? Because I beg to differ. With a history that dates back to the 70s and 80s, many people have seemed to have their own opinion of its effectiveness, especially as most of them have based their argument on comparing it to MMA. But if we are being honest, when Karate was created, it was entirely created for self-defense and not tournaments.
