Neither would I. If i wanted to learn how to run, i wouldnt be doing karate.

What? Did i make myself look stupid?

Damn, even worse.

Give me 5min on google and i can count to 100.

Ive been doing kyokushin karate for 8 years and am a shodan, and i would like to think i could defend myself, to a certain extent, against nearly anything. Just by looking at BJJ in action i can tell i'd have problems.

Im just guessing, but the Karate Underground forums closed down temporarily and some of the members have found their way here.

So the Karate Underground forums have closed temporarily. I never was a member there...maybe ill join when it comes back in a month.

OK, thanks.

So White Warlock, if a female was attacking you with a baseball bat, would you break her kneecap?

What you are suggesting would take years of BJJ training. Ill ask instead: Is there anything i can do, given my limited karate-only training, that would help handle a BJJer? Or am i simply screwed?

Prison? That's dependent on the situation. Not all women are 4'0'' weaker sex. There are some women out there that would have no difficulty in stamping on a man and later scraping him off their shoe. And a weapon is an extremely successful equaliser. Anyway, maybe a spell in prison is infinitely preferable to an eternity 6' underground. Good point.

White Warlock: That sounds like a good solution, except i dont have time to start learning another MA. AngelaG: Actual fight. ^ PS: (Hi, from all-karate forums)

Lately ive been watching some UFC videos and ive seen that BJJ almost every time wins. They usually dive in at the knees and lift the opponent off their balance and throw them to the ground and then lock them up. How would a Karateka like me, or any other MA, defend against these BJJ attacks? Low stances? Evasion? Share your thoughts.

Who voted NO?

Level 2 doesnt sound right.

But you need to be practising proper technique in a serious manner...you wont get better if you are just mucking around all the time.

I would just try and calm her down.

Neither did i, but welcome back.

Hello and welcome.

What did Chung Do Mu Sool Won evolve from?

Thats real good of you PacificShore!

"Someone else might think it's the bomb!" Thats usually the case.

LOL Not many of my friends have seen Karate Kid, so I dont suffer as much.

But it could be isshinyu combined with something else.

Ouch! Kneecap, nasty stuff.
