GhostlySykanRyu Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 (edited) Well, if you're choosing a style, then it's really up to what you're interested in and whats available. BTW, I believe Martialman was referring to Finger Trigger Death, or something of that sort. And the EFLAM is past me at the moment, maybe I'm just too tired right now. BJJ has undeniably effective ground techniques...but you might want to learn how to fight standing as well. By what I've seen people who implement it with another art such as Muay Thai, Aikido, or Karate become very successful, because they are well rounded. Some people say that most fights end up on the ground. Still, I'd keep a few things handy in case you need to stay standing...for example; trying to get an effective low (or high for that matter) kicker into clynch position may not be the wisest choise. Personally, I'm about to enter a more traditional Jiujitsui, I think it will cover an assortment of areas, and that's basically what I'm looking for to start my formal training. I will always keep BJJ in mind. Grappling does come naturally to me, it seems more common sense than anything...and anatomy. As for Judo, you may want to research it and see if it suites you. I personally have little interest in it. Whatever you choose, good luck. Edited September 16, 2004 by GhostlySykanRyu To condemn the art of another is to condemn your own as well.

WolverineGuy Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 MartialMan, how was that on topic? To the op, Judo and BJJ are VERY similar...Judo has more ofa standing emphasis, and BJJ is more of a ground. There are more differences, but generally, that's the gist.

To the topic: Yes JJ (any for that matter) is useful. But I tend to like other methods mixed in with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
