What is the best martial art if you are normal sized (5'11/6 foot) but physically weak (110 pounds)? Those are my stats.

Eskrima sounds nice but you can't carry sticks or knives around with you like an fighting game character.

Unarmed, probably boxing. Taekwondo or muay thai if you can find good ones but taekwondo is mostly shit.

I would say before you get into boxing you want to get into bodybuilding and lifting, train your neck a good amount to minimize brain damage from boxing and try to find light (but fast) sparring partners. Being able to do 20 pushups and 10 pullups will also be good for you.

>t. 110 5’7 manlet
If you’re 110 at 6 feet, you are extremely underweight and undermuscular for your size.

Both of these put you at serious injury risk, I wouldn’t do a combat sport till you get that handled and get to a normal BMI. Even as a shortie who doesn’t need much more massI found bjj and wrestling extremely hard on my shoulder and knee joints, and a major cause of this was fat and muscle are the padding protecting both once someone with wrestler forehead wants to give either a 180 degree rotation.

You can ignore this advice, but if you do, go buy your leg sleeves now, because you’re gonna be wearing them for a half year within 3 months.

If you're thinking of carry weapons and you obly weigh 110lbs dont be suprised when my 5'7 186lbs ass puts you in hospital and get charged with causing GBH... maybe actually eat sime fucking food and justclearn to fight if you want to fight. I cant understand people like you and i thi k you'd have a vetter prospective after 16 years of kickboxing gyms and 6 of BJJ.. you're going to pull a stick out on the wrong person one day and thats worse than just shoving them because they're going to think you're trying to kill someone so they're going to over react and go overboard on your ass and you're going to be holding the shitty end of that stick my boy..

For survival? The 100m sprint.

For actual combat or situations where you're literally backed into a corner, boxing or krav maga.

You'll need to beef up for wrestling or boxing, if you want to stay skinny do Muay thai (or any karate thing) or BJJ

this is good to know, I thought I was a genetic failure because similar to OP (5'8, 120lbs) and I could nail 20 pushups at most without any previous warmup.

additionally correct me if I am wrong but when rolling against someone heavier than me it is pretty much over when they manage to get a 100kgs/side guard given the weight is too much and i just do not have the strength to get out.

is it a skill issue or do i accept my fate whenever it happens?
