String comment = 'Insecure 5'9" dude here. If you could only pick one martial art as a manlet for self-defense on da streetz (like a rando walks up and wants to beat the shit out of you) what would it be? The only gym near me offers either Muay Thai or BJJ';
'>>196917
Which ever one your more likely to stick with long term. Consistency matters more than anything else.';
'as someone that has never done muay thai and has been doing jiujitsu for years, I find myself way more impressed by the muay thai capabilities
jiujitsu is not very good, it's just a massive cope that some random asshole 30 years ago won some matches against some other random assholes (one of them by using a weapon) then for whatever reason that proves it's the ultimate martial art';

Listen to >>196927
Go try a class/week at each place and see what you like more. You will likely never get into a fight anyways';

get a knife and/or gun';

That's a non-answer, you're not allowed to resort to lethal force over fist fights';

If you're young muay thai, old bjj.';

You can learn kickboxing and boxing at any age really. Grappling is Hella worse for your spine etc';

Depends entirely on the jurisdiction.

There seem to be a fair number of old men doing judo.';

Personally, I feel that getting thrown is often the least painful part of grappling when your partner isn't a retard and you know how to break a fall. In contrast, getting the life squeezed out of me in bottom half guard or nay pin always leaves me feeling like someone took a sledgehammer to my chest and back afterwards, and I'm hardly a geezer at 21';

buy a gun
then train a striking and a grappling art
as well as start lifting';
'>>196917
Bulk up to 180lbs of muscle and start doing Muay Thai. After 6 months of training you'll be able to beat up 90% of random guys on the street. After a couple of years you'll be able to pretty much beat up anybody who has trained less than you and isn't a 6'4 linebacker in the NFL.';
