Style: BJJ--
I love how everyone talks about what works in the streetz!! Most of us don't even know what happens in the streetz....
you mean in the club or bar? Yeah..well usually that's chest bumping and talking **** till the security or police show up. Fights are totally avoidable...and even when they are not the odds of you winning due to any MA. My suggestion for all you wanna be STREETZ BRAWLERZ...a chair, glass bottle or throwing a bystander at the person club punching them and running for the door is far more effective than trying to find out what martial artz is best in the streetz...all of them suxorz compared to club punch and run-fu.
I mean..but really. How many times a lifetime do you actually think there is a no win scenario that you HAVE to fight? I'm finding just in my short stay here that we have some folks who want to be the badass and start **** being the agressor. In other wordz if you ever aquire the l33t skillz you are going to be the guy starting **** with people.
I have a vid for you dudes...

no one really, actually wants to beat you up in a back alley and rape your girl with you being held down and forced to watch. Let it go...stop watching cable news, get out and enjoy your life. Be happy that you want to learn a fun fighting style that will allow you to adequately defend yourself if someone you are fighting doesn't pull a knife, gun, homeboys, mace or scud missile... -

Style: Isshin-ryu Karate--
1. Isshin-ryu creates a different kind of strong body. It isn't "body building" which is done by a lot of people in boxing, MT, and MMA and thus does not produce the same aesthetic result. Angi Uezu is also quite old in that video...you can see a bald spot.
2. Another one of you questioned my dedication to martial arts. The fact is, I'm from a military family and have had to relocate on average every 2 years. This unfortunately means changing dojos.
3. The belief that the vertical punch is superior comes from the idea that a horizontal fist-arm relationship is misaligned. As a result, the wrist tends to slightly give way upon hard impact resulting in possible injury and cushioning the power of the strike. In a vertical fist the bones of the arm, wrist, and fist are aligned and thus becomes a more solid, "battering-ram" type structure.
4. I will probably never sing the praises of "pressure point fighting". I've never been able to figure out a realistic way to apply pressure point strikes. It seems the opponent is usually moving to quickly/chaotically to strike such a small area with any degree of accuracy.

In particular regarding your familiarity with Muay Thai, and what sources of information you used to come to this conclusion.

Try again.

At least one part of your rather lengthy post that's more or less spot on.4. I will probably never sing the praises of "pressure point fighting". I've never been able to figure out a realistic way to apply pressure point strikes. It seems the opponent is usually moving to quickly/chaotically to strike such a small area with any degree of accuracy.
