      Street Cred

      Sep 13, 2022

      Something I always get asked when teaching self-defense is, “What’s the best martial art?” That’s actually a multitiered question that requires a multitiered answer, and before I reply, I usually ask a question of my own: “Best martial art for what?”

      competition.

      1 My empirical data ate your dogma

      If you were going to step inside a cage or a ring, would you rather have advice based on tradition and opinion or advice based on evidence? Be honest as you answer this question. You are putting yourself in harm’s way. Everybody gets hit in a fight, even good fighters (they just get hit less).

      Do you want hearsay? Do you want strategies and tactics uttered out of habit that don’t have much practical thought behind them? Do you want to train or drill ideas that are related to a different environment than the one you are entering? This is your body you are putting on the line. Wouldn’t it be wise to arm yourself with the best information available?

      I’m going to gamble that you prefer evidence over simple dogma. If at any point in your training, you confront a bit of evidence (not advice) that butts against what you have assumed to be correct, well, that’s terrific. You’ve learned something. Discard the underperforming tool and get to work incorporating the new tool. This acceptance of evidence has nothing to do with personal likes or dislikes, allegiances or alliances, respect or disrespect. It’s simply acknowledgment of truth.

      Advice usually is offered with good intentions. For the most part, people are well-meaning. But if the advice fails the evidentiary test, then it’s gotta go bye-bye. This quote from the late Michael Crichton fuels this perspective, Intentions are meaningless, all that matters are results.

      I bring up the need for nondogmatic thinking because the sport of MMA has had a curious history. Unlike most sports, some branches of MMA have come to us from avenues that allowed the art to become cloaked in a bit of crypto-mysticism or strict codes of unwavering lineage and tradition stopping just short of fealty reminiscent of medieval vassals and lords. This stifles honest questioning and experimentation — the hallmarks of
