Uh oh. Black Belt Confesses: Brazilian Jiujitsu SUCKS For Self Defense in a street fight

[UpAndComing]

- Says it is great for having a ground game, but it lacks practicality in self defense
- Says that BJJ has turned into a style where you are only good against other BJJ fighters, but become vulnerable against other types of fighting styles that are not BJJ
- Says that most of the BJJ moves don't work in the real world because the majority of the time you are on your back



The Coli told me BJJ would work against a wild Bear or Tiger. Ya'll lied

That’s why you learn the ultimate fighting style - Muay Thai, pair that with some BJJ and Krav Maga, and you got a killer. Can’t wait to put my son in all of these

Wrestling or Judo paired with Muay Thai or boxing is a safe combo.

The problem with BJJ is that street fights are unpredictable. You don't want to be rolling around with someone on the ground when their friends are lurking about.

Wrestling and Judo are broadly better grappling styles for self defense (imo) the problem is that Wrestling is so tough that very few adults outside of pro mma fighters are willing to put in the hours to learn it. Judo is big in Europe but has no motion in the U.S like that.

I don’t have a problem with BJJ because submissions changed the game for combat sports. But being real the only tools you are likely to use are guillotine or rear naked choke in a self defense scenario. Going to the ground intentionally in a self defense scenario is retarded unless you know FOR SURE you are dealing with one attacker.

You are even seeing this know with Jiu jitsu specialists getting phased out of MMA. Kron Gracie and Ryan Hall are meme status now. Nobody is shook if your a black belt anymore.

Wait…



Laying on the ground is a trash fighting style?

The greatest ultimate fighting style is Gunkata.

If you fighting past the age of 21 you gotta do some soul searching. But martial arts these days is filled with crash test dummies and dweebs with something to prove.
