What sort of martial arts do you practice in and why? Judo? Karate?

Educating yourself in self defence seems very useful especially if you live in parts of a country that might be rough.

I'd like to get into it myself but I can't hear well, I can lip read however. Did some boxing when I was very young but it was only practice on training bags : )

Kung Fu students and masters alike, let me know your wisdom!

I've done several years of grecco-roman and freestyle wrestling, a little boxing, and several years of taekwondo, hapkido, and judo.

I'm an okay striker, but I like the close-up stuff more; joint locks, submissions, take downs, etc.

Looking to transition into Chinese martial arts in a few years.

Does wrestling teach many submissions?

[โ€“] zanyllama52@infosec.pub 2 points 4 months ago

Some. Crossface chicken wing, ankle locks, hammer locks, etc. More of these techniques come from hapkido.
