It's proven to work, old UFC (before adding sanctioning and lots of rules) were dominated by BJJ and Judo. EDIT: If you live in a high crime area where you may have to defend yourself against knives then I'd recommend Krav Maga, I've never done it, but I know that it is brutally effective.

Hi Tony,

Welcome to the site and the forum.

I'm sure there'll be a few of our regulars who train in and around Manchester. Are you looking for a traditional Jujitsu club, or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
