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

[Mowgli]

BJJ is great. But yeah if you are on the ground against an opponent and he has backup you are cooked. Unless it’s a one on one situation you should avoid the ground at all means


In the streets it’s rarely one on one

Why would you use jiujitsu against 2 people when you're within your rights to escalate.

2 people swinging on you at the same time are trying to seriously hurt you. Their health shouldn't be a concern for whoever getting jumped

The fact that you know and highly regard the Art of 8 Limbs as being the foundation with the correct complements has placed you in high regard in my books......

I used to take Muay Thai classes (at a place that also offered boxing and BJJ). I wish I would’ve found that at an earlier age because I would’ve tried to train to fight vs doing the classes for fitness.

I'm supposed to start back up in Feb, but the fire ain't there as before cause as you said... at that age , so it could only be for fitness purposes....

The arts manifest in people in different ways.

Went back to Krav after grappling for a year. Loved the mental game and learning techniques but I had the same thing as the guy in the video. With Krav, the distinction between a martial art and a self defense system is thoroughly explained. I've also had way more injuries grappling then I ever had doing systems but I love how grappling forces you to out manoeuvre/outthink your opponent,it's just not something I'd do in a actual fight. Assess..(re)act...retreat is the way in and out of an actual fight.

Best self defense martial arts is gunkata

 

[Bleed The Freak]

There's no martial art in the practical sense that "sucks". Some are better than other ones yes.

If you need to protect yourself from an aggressor some training in an art is much better than nothing.

It's how you're going execute if it happens. Most people panic and lose their common sense because a fight is not your training situation and it's a lot less control that you have over. No rules.

BJJ can absolutely help you. I take it. I also have a striking background. I personally wouldn't want to go to the ground myself. But if you have to, so be it. Just know your surroundings.

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

Muy Thai fan here myself. Most practical

 

[GreenGhxst]

I hate when people say fights always go to the ground

Yeah and so do kicks

I know it gets a bad rap, but if you go to a good TKD school, play with one of them dudes if you want to

 

[The War Report]

Boxing has to be the best. Boxers pack too much power.

Facts. I did Tae Kwon Do when I was younger. Had so many benefits I still keep with me today
