roy291 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 BJJ is probably the most practical type of self defense. And to answer your other question about the workout, you will discover muscles that you did not know you even have, It is a very good workout. The ground is my ocean, I am a shark and you can't swim.

Gumbi Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 BJJ is probably the most practical type of self defense. And to answer your other question about the workout, you will discover muscles that you did not know you even have, It is a very good workout. You certainly will discover muscles you never knew you had (or never knew could hurt so much). As far as your signature, I believe it was Jean Jacque Machado who said that, not Royce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy291 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 You are probably right Gumbi, But Royce is the only one that I have heard say it. The ground is my ocean, I am a shark and you can't swim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treebranch Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 It's very useful if you find yourself on the ground in a one person situation. You should know how to handle yourself on the ground, but it is only one aspect of fighting.

taiji fajin Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Yes, its good. There are other reasons to take it for just that, though. And other martial arts are good for fighting as well. Personally, I think the external martial arts start you off getting good quicker, but the internal martial arts have more potential for those who reach the highest levels. I would fight a bagua beginner over a BJJ beginner. I would fight a BJJ master over fighting a bagua master. Fetch Daddy's blue fright wig! I must be handsome when I unleash my rage.

Treebranch Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Bagua is what Ghangis Khan's army knew? It's an old form of combat fighting? I'd fight a BJJ beginner on the roof of my house.

shotokanwarrior Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 I would rather start with a throwing art, it works on the street and you will learn balance, in a multiple attack senerio throw an opponent into another. I do believe that you sould know what it feels like to be on the ground and how to escape, just like I always say , you need to know what it is like to be hit and whats its like on the ground. Where Art ends, nature begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Blast Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 bjj has its goods and bads. Goods:perfect for a street fight since most fights end up on the ground. Bads:Only can be a 1on1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
