>>1489802Why not do both? I agree that it's extremely dumb to rely on martial arts alone as a form of self defense. The military gave me some really fucking valuable skills for free even though I would never defend this cuck government we have right now if the country got attacked (depending on who attacks us of course). I believe that a person should try to get skilled in all forms of self defense including hand to hand combat. Self defense situations are always different and you need to be able to adapt to them to maximize your chance of survival. Martial arts are fun as fuck and they keep your body healthy. You're training your muscles, your cardio and you get better at defending yourself and your loved ones all the same time. It's cheap as fuck too considering all the benefits you get from training. You also make some good friends. BJJ people in particular are cool as fuck in my opinion. Also, in this piece of shit country you get punished harder than Abdullah if you pull out a telescope baton or a firearm when he attacks you. Having some submission skills can be really useful because you can easily pin him down and call 112 if he's not with his pack of 10 other subhuman shitskins and Helsinki wiggers. If you're in a relatively isolated location and you know for sure that you won't get caught you might as well kneebar both of his legs. He won't be walking properly for the rest of life and he certainly won't be picking fights with humans anymore. If you want to have some extra fun you might as well sterilize him by choking him out and repeatedly kicking and stomping his balls as hard as you can before running away. He won't be raping Finnish girls after that.
