We need to make a revolution. The revolution will write off everything (Aurenga)

Yesterday the world remembered the legendary Bruce Lee. In this regard, I rummaged through the types of martial arts, and on one site I found an interesting article:

Bokator
It is a form of martial art of the ancient Kmer Empire that includes close contact to hand-to-hand combat, grappling and throwing techniques, and combat using weapons. Much knowledge about bokator was lost around the 14th century; now this information is being restored bit by bit. This combat system uses a variety of strikes with the elbow, fist, shin, knee, as well as sweeps and throws. Certain styles and forms of bokator were based on imitation of the movements of birds and animals - lions, horses, snakes, eagles, etc. Bokator translates to “beating the lion.” According to an ancient legend, a warrior practicing bokator killed a lion with whom he found himself alone with a blow of his knee.

Flips and Throws
The name of this martial art may not sound very impressive, but, nevertheless, the system is incredibly tough. It was created in the southern USA in the 18th-19th centuries. The fighters of “coups and throws” emphasized the maximum disfigurement of a person. Some of the warriors, according to rumors, even sharpened their teeth on sharp weapons in order to then bite off the fingers, ears, and noses of their opponents. In modern society, this martial art is ignored due to its incredible cruelty.

tank
The martial art, which originated in Peru, teaches not only how to maim or kill an opponent, but also the use of deceptive tactics, such as using hidden weapons. Today it is classified as a hybrid martial art, incorporating elements of Valu-Tudo street fighting and jiu-jitsu. The most common grips are: merciless strangulation, precise blows to vital organs, grabs and arm breaks, and all this must happen at a very fast pace so that the enemy is defeated even before he is able to understand the danger in front of him.

Lerdrit
Lerdrite is currently practiced by elite commandos of the Royal Thai Army. Fighters must master the art of attacking without warning and ending the fight with one of the killer blows, such as an elbow to the temple. The combat system is designed for situations where a person finds himself between life and death, and is intended not for beating, but for taking life.

Dambe
The martial art is based on the ancient traditions of boxing in Egypt. The main weapon of the dambe is blows with the strong side of the fist. To do this, the fist is wrapped in a piece of cloth and tied with a cord. The fighter's leg must be wrapped in a thick chain. Why the legs need to be wrapped in jagged metal is still a mystery.

Hand-to-hand combat system
This system combines several types of martial arts used by Russian special forces. Focus is on controlling the most important parts of the body - neck, elbows, knees, waist, ankles and shoulders. The system is also exploring the possibility of fighting with multiple opponents. After all, life situations are unpredictable, and this knowledge can be very useful when you are attacked by several armed big men.

Prison Rock
The martial art originated in the brutal US prison system. This is a great example of no holds barred brawling. One of the brutal training methods is “Lifting a deck of cards.” The cards are scattered on the floor and the trainees must pick them all up one at a time while being beaten by three or more people.

Kalari Payat
The art originated in the southern state of India - Kerala. It is the ancestor of many popular martial arts from around the world. The Kalari Payat has various subspecies and forms, each of which specializes in combat, both with and without weapons. One of the most noticeable subtypes is Marma Arti - targeted blows to one of the 108 nerve nodes.

Silat
Silat is an umbrella name for hundreds of different fighting styles. The system was developed by tribes from Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines. Silat includes strikes, throws, twisting of joints, grappling, and the use of knives. Silat is now used by several military groups throughout the Malay Archipelago.

Okeechitaw
Okeechitaw was created by George LePine, who studied judo, taekwondo and hapkido. He also mastered the techniques of throwing a tomahawk. The techniques used in this martial art often involve the presence of weapons. Even if the fighter does not have a weapon, the techniques are performed in such a way as if he had a weapon, for example, kicks should resemble thrusts with a spear.

Of course, we have all seen Hollywood tricks with ropes and Chuck's karate
Norris. Everyone knows Seagal's twisting move and almost balletic
kick from Van Dam. But there are other styles of martial arts that you
probably haven't heard

1. Bokator

It is a Cambodian martial art that originated in the military.
Angkor, who won victory in Indochina more than 1,700 years ago.

The word "bokator" is translated as "lion-beater." According to
ancient legend, one student studying this style found himself facing
face with a lion. The young warrior killed the bloodthirsty beast with one single
incredible accuracy with a knee strike. Like many other Asian
martial arts, bokator technique is based on imitation of movements
various animals.

What makes it different from other species is
cruelty and the training process. More than ten thousand different techniques and
strikes make bokator one of the most difficult martial arts.

2. Fight without rules

In truth, it should have been called "maim and kill" since
this name is more suitable to describe the ultimate goal of the fight.
The "technique" of combat originated between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in
USA. By the way, one of the most effective techniques was considered to be squeezing
eye.

The fighters fought so fiercely that only the most desperate brave men
decided to challenge them. Rumor has it that some even sharpened their teeth
to razor sharpness to bite off ears, fingers, noses and lips in battle. A
since there were no prohibitions on injuring the genitals, many in
literally lost their “dignity”.

There is hardly any need to explain why this fight without rules is not as popular in our “civilized” world as before.

3. Tank

It originated in the poor slums of Lima (Peru) and represents
a ruthless martial art that not only teaches you how to quickly shut down
or kill the enemy, but also use deceptive tactics (for example,
hidden weapon).

Puig Bezada. Bakom is officially classified as a modern mixed
a martial art that incorporates various elements of jiu-jitsu with vale tudo.

precise hits to vital organs. All this is done with madness
speed so that the enemy does not have time to understand what is happening.

4. Ledrit

It is a modern martial art that has its origins in
Muay Thai and is practiced by commandos of the Royal Thai Army.
His technique is based on the same principles. However there are several
differences.

Fighters are taught to attack without warning, to take down as quickly as possible
opponent to the ground and finish off with one of the fatal blows (kick to the throat
or an elbow to the temple). In order to reduce the risk of injury to
striking uses hard parts of the body (knees, elbows, shins,
palms). Like many other military martial arts Ledrit was
designed to destroy the enemy.

5. Dambe

Deadly martial art of the Hausa tribe (West Africa)
based on the boxing technique of ancient Egypt. Dambe's main weapon is
a fist, around which a tightly woven rope is wrapped over the cloth, and
also a leg wrapped in a thick chain. Probably for butchers from
It's not enough for West Africa to just beat people. Interesting observation:
Many of today's Dambe fighters smoke marijuana before a fight.

6. System

The main feature is the effect on vulnerable parts of the body:
elbows, neck, knees, stomach and ankles. The fighting technique is based on
laws of biomechanics and most of the time is devoted to how to correctly
exploit enemy weaknesses. It includes not only
classic unarmed one-on-one duel, but also other types
contact. For example, fighters train with several sparring
partners who attack with various types of weapons.

7. Prison rock

Created in the merciless prison world of the United States, this type of combat
art was developed by people who do not have the ability to do
anything other than work, or fight. He is distinguished by cruel
training methods, and “pick the deck” is one of them. The cards are scattered
on the floor and the fighter must collect them while two or three others try to
beat up.

8. Kalari payat

Most consider it to be the oldest fighting system created in the southern
region of India - Kerala, and the predecessor of some modern military
arts

According to oral legend, Kalari Payat was founded by an incarnation
Hindu god Vishnu (guardian of the Universe), whose existence was
the limit of human understanding.

There are many styles, specializing in both hand-to-hand combat,
and so on weapons. One of the most famous is Marma Arti

behind the heads of Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. Silat includes
many different styles. The earliest evidence of it

clans in the South China Sea.

10. Okeechito

It is one of the few surviving Native American martial arts.
It was founded by George Lepine, who studied judo, taekwondo, hapkido, and
He also had excellent command of the fighting stick and tomahawk.

Okeechito - a mixture of the fury of the Indian spirit with time-tested
Asian martial arts. Just like in Aikido, even if you are a fighter
unarmed, blows are delivered as if he had one.
For example, the arms repeat the movements of a tomahawk, and the legs repeat the movements of a spear. Besides,
special attention is paid to knives. After all, what's the point in martial arts?
indigenous Indians, if it does not teach how to properly scalp
white man?

This is a Cambodian martial art that originated with the army of Angkor, which won victory in Indochina more than 1,700 years ago.

2. Fight without rules

In truth, it should have been called "maim and kill", as this name better describes the ultimate goal of the fight. The "technique" of combat originated between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in the United States. By the way, eye gouging was considered one of the most effective techniques.

The fighters fought so fiercely that only the most desperate brave men dared to challenge them. It is rumored that some even sharpened their teeth to razor sharpness so that they could bite off ears, fingers, noses and lips in battle. And since there were no prohibitions on genital injury, many literally lost their “dignity.”

7. Prison Rock

Created in the cutthroat prison world of the United States, this form of martial art was developed by people who have no opportunity to do anything other than work, or fight. He is characterized by brutal training methods, and “pick the deck” is one of them. Cards are scattered on the floor and a fighter must collect them while two or three others try to beat him up.

After all, what is the point of the martial art of the indigenous Indians if it does not teach how to properly scalp a white man?

We've all seen Hollywood wire-fu (a cross between kung fu and special effects) and karate performed by Chuck Norris. Everyone knows how Seagal can break his arms, and they've seen how Van Damme can lift his legs. Although popular mixed martial arts are now dominated by a relatively small number of styles, which often end up with fights lasting very long and boring. These styles are known to most - methodical Brazilian jiu-jitsu and run-of-the-mill kickboxing.

However, there are many other fighting styles. These styles may be too brutal for the ring and not too pretty for the screen. There are also ancient deadly styles that have survived to this day without being glamorized and distorted by seekers of money and fame. Below are a few examples of hardcore martial arts that aren't taught in run-down gyms for a couple dollars a month.

10. Bokator

Bokator is a martial art originally from Cambodia that originated during the time of the armies of Angkor, which were among the best on the battlefields of Indo-China over 1,700 years ago. Bokator translates as “lion beating,” and the name comes from an ancient legend that tells of a Bokator man who found himself face to face with a man-eating lion. According to legend, the warrior killed the bloodthirsty animal with one targeted blow of his knee.

Like many other eastern martial arts, Bokator is based on the movements and mannerisms of various animals, such as eagles, cranes, horses, snakes and, of course, lions. Bokator is distinguished from other martial arts by its cruelty and practicality on the battlefield. Featuring 10,000 different techniques such as elbows and knees, joint locks, throws and more, Bokator is a deep and varied art that provides fighters with endless options in combat.

9. Rough and Tumble


This martial art is actually more severe than it sounds. In fact, it should have been called “maim and kill,” since this was the purpose for which this combat system was created in the southern United States in the 18th and 19th centuries. The term "gouging" was also used to describe this fighting style, due to the fact that one of the most common techniques was eye gouging, and this was not a regular eye poke.

Flip-and-throw fighters emphasized maximum disfigurement and unfettered brutality comparable to few other martial arts. Some of them were even rumored to have sharpened their teeth into sharp weapons, which they used to bite off the ears, noses, lips and fingers of their opponents. And given that the genitals were not protected by a special rule, many fighters lost their courage during these cold-blooded clashes. This callous cruelty is the main reason why Flips and Rolls is not often discussed or practiced in modern "civilized" times.

And since most of the techniques have not been formalized and cannot be performed without the risk of severe injury, this martial art is ignored by most of modern martial arts society. Most people now, even those who like to fight, are not brutal enough for the eye-raking, neck-biting, genital-ripping techniques used in Flips and Throws.

8. Bakom


Bacom, the creation of the poor slums of Lima, Peru, is a dangerously brutal martial art that teaches not only how to quickly maim and/or kill your opponent, but also the use of deceptive and "less than fair" tactics, such as the use of hidden weapons.

The martial art was invented in the 1980s by former Marine and prisoner, Roberto Puch Bezada, and is officially classified as a modern hybrid martial art, incorporating various elements of jiu-jitsu and Vale Tudo street fighting. Common techniques include arm grabs and armbreaks, merciless choking and precise strikes to vital organs, all done at a rapid pace in order to defeat the opponent before they even realize the danger they face. The result is a blitzkrieg-style beating that is incredibly difficult to predict.

7. Lerdrit


Lerdrit is a modern development of traditional Thai fighting techniques practiced by the elite special forces of the Royal Thai Army. The basic principles of Lerdrit are similar to its predecessors (Muay Thai, Muay Boran). However, there are a few key differences that give it a new level of cool.

Fighters are trained to attack without warning, instantly throwing opponents to the ground, and ending the fight with one of the deadly powerful blows, such as a boot to the throat or an elbow to the temple. These techniques aim to prevent injury by targeting the tough parts of the body such as the knees, hands, shins and the aforementioned classic elbow. As with other military martial arts, the goal of Lerdrit is radical and it is specifically designed for situations where one finds oneself between life and death. It is not intended for beating, but for taking life.

6. Dambe


Dambe is based on the ancient boxing traditions of Egypt and is a deadly martial art created by the Hausa people of West Africa, many of whom travel between villages and perform martial arts ceremonies and fight all comers.

Dambe's main weapon is the strong side of the fist, also known as the "javelin". The fists are wrapped in a piece of cloth covered with a tightly knotted cord, and the fighter's leading leg is wrapped in a thick chain. Apparently punching people in the face isn't hard enough for West African butchers. They also have to wrap their legs in jagged metal to make sure they let out some blood.

An interesting side note: many of today's dambe trainees traveling from village to village ritually smoke marijuana before fights.

5. Hand-to-hand combat system


Let's be honest - to survive in Russia you have to be a little crazy. Therefore, it is not surprising that the System (the general name for several varieties of martial arts used by Russian special forces) is so cold-blooded and effective in terms of “persuading” capitalist pigs.

The system focuses on controlling important parts of the body - elbows, neck, knees, waist, ankles and shoulders, using strong and targeted blows. The main philosophy of the systems is based on the laws of biomechanics and anatomy, and most of the training is spent studying the natural vulnerabilities of the human body in order to then use it for one’s own purposes.

Another unique characteristic of the System is that it does not focus only on one-on-one unarmed combat like many other martial arts. On the contrary, the possibilities of combat with several opponents, attacking simultaneously with different weapons in their hands, are studied here. After all, what could be cooler than knocking down some big guy? Well, for example, defeat five or six thugs.

4. Jailhouse Rock


Prison Rock is one of only two martial arts that originated in the United States. Set in the cut-throat world of (yes, you guessed it) the US prison system, Prison Rock is a great example of no-holds-barred brawling, developed by people with nothing better to do than fight and rock.

Prison rock is distinguished by its brutal training methods, one of which is the “52 lift.” A deck of cards is scattered on the floor and trainees must pick them all up one by one while they are mercilessly beaten by three or more other people.

3. Kalari Payat


Kalari Payat originated in the southern Indian state of Kerala and is generally recognized as the oldest martial art in the world, and the ancestor of many popular martial arts around the world. Oral literature claims that it was created by the incarnation of the Hindu deity Vishnu, who is described as the “Preserver of the universe” and who has “a universal form that is impossible for man to comprehend.”

Kalari Payat has many subspecies and different forms, each of which specializes in combat, both with and without weapons. One of the most noticeable subspecies is Marma Arti (strikes to vital points), which “in the hands” of a master can instantly paralyze or kill with a single, targeted blow to one of the 108 nerve nodes, which are considered very vulnerable. And, given that they are so dangerous that they suffer from conscience, masters of this powerful art also study the Siddha medical system, which emerged from the same ancient teachings.

2. Silat


Silat is an umbrella name for hundreds of different fighting styles developed by ruthless tribes from Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. Silat includes striking, twisting joints, grabbing, throwing and using knives.

The first mentions of silat in its current form were found in Sumatra. There, according to legend, a woman created a fighting system based on the observation of wild animals, as is the case with many other martial arts. Currently, silat is used by several military groups throughout the Malay Archipelago and nearby lands, as well as by well-known pirate clans from the South China Sea.

1. Okichitaw


Okeechitaw is one of the few surviving examples of American Indian martial arts and is based on the fighting techniques of the Plains Cree First Nations. Okeechitaw was created by George J Lepine, who studied judo, taekwondo, and hapkido, and who also knew how to handle the "gun club" (a traditional weapon of the Indians), and also mastered the techniques of throwing the tomahawk - a mixed martial art. combining the fierce fighting spirit of the Indians with time-tested techniques of popular martial arts.

Techniques used in Okichitaw often involve the presence of weapons. As with Aikido, even if a fighter does not possess a weapon, his/her strikes are executed as if he/she had a weapon. For example, the arms are used as tomahawks, and the kicks resemble spear thrusts. Official Okichitaw techniques also include many knife techniques. After all, why learn Indian martial art if it doesn’t teach you the best way to scalp a white man?
