Thursday 11th January 2007 at 21:17 I have had extensive training in Fu Jow Pai kung fu, and also put in time with the BJJ...my question for discussion is...why do so many people look to classify BJJ as a strikeless art? similarly to japanese JJ it definitely includes basic strikes and blocks as taught in the dojo where I trained, and as taught by Royler and Renzo in their book. i think people put too much emphasis on the sportative aspects and thus...forget that BJJ was created with winning fights in mind.

Thursday 11th January 2007 at 23:42 BJJ does contain some strikes and blocks, but the main emphasis is to close the distance, and take the fight to the floor. The Admin Guy |

Friday 12th January 2007 at 16:01 Absolutely...you dont want to be grappling with a guy even if he has only one friend who will help him. but by the same token...BJJ does have some very effective standup self defense which can be used to deal with different forms of street attack Chuck Norris doesn't sleep.

Saturday 13th January 2007 at 22:51 Rob...in the TJJ that u learned did they teach you to strike while drawing the other hand to the hip like in traditional striking arts? thats one of hte biggest gripes Ive had with the traditional arts ive studied...practicing like that leaves you open to a knockout Chuck Norris doesn't sleep.

Tuesday 16th January 2007 at 19:28 "how you train is how you react/fight"...with this being the case i dont want to train myself to chamber my fist then all of the sudden in the street remember to protect my jaw, thats why boxing and muay thai have become the prevalent striking arts in MMA... they have adapted to contain what works and drop what does not.

Wednesday 17th January 2007 at 13:32 I tend to have a boxing stance even in tae kwon do tournaments. In closed point fighting I get my ass kicked because of it, but I slaughter the same guys who beat me in open point tournaments Blue Belt - Gracie JJ |
