I am curious as to what you guys think about mma(muay thai, wrestling, bjj, etc.) purely as a means of self defense. I know that other people from more traditional styles(purely for lack of better words) claim it can be ineffective because of rules, weight classes, no weapons, etc. I was curious as to what some of the more experienced mma guys think about this. I have a very small amount of experience in any ma. I have taken some time off recently to recover from injuries and unfortunately its given me lots of time to think up stuff like this. I have no interest in nhb type of stuff. Im just looking for the best bang for my buck for self defense. Im really curious as to what the guys who have done mma and a more traditional style (again purely for lack of better words) have to say on this.
