I wasted around 27 years training in martial arts. None of them really work irl, it’s just that cool choreography on the silver screen makes it seem like it works.

All you need to master is a kick or punch to the nuts, and keep distance where possible. In other words, if you’re out of range, you can’t be hit. When / they rush to attack you, you counter strike to the balls, then immediately back off. But even then there’s no guarantee you won’t get hit.

While I’ve been a life long Bruce Lee historian, and believe he had some good ideas, I also believe he was a hype job and was nowhere near as good irl. That’s coming from someone whose studied the man. Nd his philosophy since 1991.

Don’t waste time nor money on traditional martial arts, OP.
