Welcome!

Ok, lately ive been seeing posts that seem to put bjj on an untouchable plain because of takedowns and ground game that mma and bjj have to offer. Clearly, the majority of bjj focus a lot on the ground aspect of their bjj style, but to say that a traditional jjj stylist couldnt last in a fight aginst a bjj stylist fighting on the ground is simplely not correct. Because with mma, u are bound by rules plain an simple. And because of that, these matches of who will win and who will lose is a crap shoot. Merely a sport with chess like stragety(forgive my spelling). Im not a big fan of mma but i do study traditional jjj and have for over 20 years. In a ring there are factors such as age, phyiscal strengh and conditioning that make up the game. Which I give these competiors total credit for. These people are very dedicated martial artists and deserve what they work hard for. As due all martial artists. I believe that it is the person studying that defines his/her chosen martial art. But to say that I would be taken down by bjj stylist because im a jjj guy is a closed minded comment. Assuming that i let bjj stylist take me down, I have a very good ground game also. The difference is that I train just as hard as mma/bjj person accept i train for life and death situations and not for sport. For 20+yrs i have trained not to b taken down because, lets face it, if you take a street fight to the ground, u have to worrie about being stabbed, shot or being kicked in the face by another. There are plus and neg on both ends of the spectrum. Us traditionalist jjj fight for self preservation and bjj/mma fight to win a match. No matter the style, we all have one thing in common, and that is to win. This is just my opinion and do not intend to disrespect any other martial artist or the system of study.

Answer to original question: move out of the way.

LOL:) Thats true sensei8 !

One of my instuctors wives that i had the privlige to spar with threw me every which way. There was absolutly nothing i could do. Of course she is the highest ranking female master outside Japan:)

Is there any other dojos in your area? Maybe you could find a dojo close by that could acommadate your schedule.

Black belt and skilled blk belt? Im pretty sure u have to b skilled to earn a blk belt? I ve studied MA for over 20 yrs so i prettymuch know all about self control. there were three of them against me. Acorrding to this states law allows me the right to kill during the commission of a class x felony-Mob Action. I felt bad because i have a good heart. It wasnt my kids hands i had to subdue. My point is maybe i could of used less force but when i get attacked i react. Try useing self control when there is a fight envolving 20 people and three of them are running at u. At that time your conditioned responses take over.

Thank you guys. I didnt want it to end like i was a criminal being a bully or something. I prob should have worded the post defferently to begin with.

Are you posting that you committed a crime? You have the right to remain silent according to law. If you feel terrible, speak with someone you can confide in, remember that you may need an attorney, but don't put it into writing and post it on the Internet, Davison. With all due respect to what GeoGiant has said (such as if you lost control during sparring and feel badly about it), I wouldn't put something into writing, such as "went above and beyond the self defense aspect." Ithink i need to clarify: first, there were 20 people envolved. Three attacked me. Police were called and i did speak to the police. The first two officers were also my students. I was in the right to defend my self. What i ment by this post was that this fight gave me an opportunity to test my skill and i did. But i probably could have used less force than i did. And even though i WAS justified in my actions, I still felt bad for having to hurt these people. It was a learning experience.

Look up George Dillman.

Im talking about something that happened yrs ago. Before i was a police officer.. And i did get the chance to say sorry to one of the guys. But in my state when three guys attack a person, thats called mob action. My bad for putting up a post such as this one..

Has anybody ever lost control in a street fight and went above and beyond the self defense aspect? I ask b cuz i have done just that and i really felt terrible afterwards.

As far as monkey style kungfu, Ihave seen a break form that uses monkey style flips and role but also drunken boxing mixed in. But i ve never seen a dojo for it.

Iliked it very much. Agood family movie. Its wierd to see a remake of a fantastic movie to begin with. Jakie Chan is a great guy to have .
