Do you think Muay Thai is a good martial art for street self-defense and getting-mugged defense?

Like, what if your enemies are two people? Or three?|||Muay Thai like all other martial arts are good for self defense. Can hey defend again multiple attackers? It is likely they would stand a very good chance to survive. I don%26#039;t even want talk about winning a fight. There are no real winners in a fight. The object is to survive the attack. They have a much better chance of surviving than someone who has no formal training.





I can%26#039;t tell you if their system teaches how to defend against multiple attackers, but their conditioning and their strikes will allow them to defend themselves extremely well.





I can tell you that in Aikido or Jujitsu(Traditional Japanese Jujitsu) you are taught to use one of the attackers as a shield when being attacked by multiple people. This is also taught in other forms of martial arts. I don%26#039;t know if that is taught in Muay Thai.|||Why are people so obsessed with the idea of self-defense? Make reasonable decisions about where you go and how you interact with others and you%26#039;ll rarely have to worry about self-defense.





Martial arts for self-defense is an old-timey idea. Sorry, it is. Prctice Muay Thai because you enjoy it, not because you think it will help you if you get mugged. If some nut job pulls a gun on you and demands your wallet, you%26#039;d be stupid to try to challenge him to a fight.|||It%26#039;s only good for ONE ON ONE UNARMED STANDING combat. How many more of these same questions do we have floating around? It%26#039;s a sport and doesn%26#039;t necessarily equate to street situations. For that, you need to learn Lerdrit which is the military style of Muay Thai and that%26#039;s not gonna happen unless you joined the Royal Thai Army.


Two people, maybe depending on how skilled they are. Three it%26#039;d be tough. Four Five Six? Get a gun.


Against weapons, u better find other options than Muay Thai. Either fight like mad or run like hell.





Lastly, if you have horrible reflexes and motor skills, u won%26#039;t succeed no matter what style you take.|||I would say your best bet is to learn aikido for defense against street thugs.|||on street? just get a gun!
