Monday 13th December 2004 at 13:25 Having not trained for a couple of years now, I was thinking of starting jujitsu again. I really enjoyed it but found a lot of what was being taught just not very practical for a street situation. What in your opinion is the most effective style in street fighting? |

Monday 13th December 2004 at 21:25 I think it mainly depends on the teacher. I had a ju jitsu instructor that barely taught any street techniques, but I also had a (believe it or not) tae kwon do instructor who taught me some of my most useful street techniques. Blue Belt - Gracie JJ |

Monday 13th December 2004 at 21:37 The best style is integrated martial arts. Every style has it's own competition rules and moves taking in account these rules such as in wrestling and judo there are moves designed specifically to pin an opponent to the mat. Obviously this will not win a real fight, but in these competitions they do help win. In kickboxing there is a stance optimized to throwing punches and kicks since there is no worry whatsoever about an opponent changing levels and shooting in. In wrestling and judo though they can shoot without worrying about getting hit. Mixed these together though properly with jujitsu to round off in submissions holds and you will be a well rounded martial artist. |
