Frosty Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Since I'm already learning a Stand-up Art, I wanted to add some Ground-fighting for Self-defense. In case I go to the Ground I don't want to be helpless. Is it possible to learn just the most effective techniques, instead of the whole system. Like I don't need good-looking fancy stuff, that prolly wouldn't work in a street-fight, just the most-likely-2-work moves. Or would this request to an Instructor be denied, as Judo is Sport-oriented with rules and not Self-defense to destroy opponents.
ZeRo Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 BJJ is prolly better for you, i dont tihnk an instructor would give you a saperate lesson on your own just coz you ask. private lessons cost lots more.
jiu-jitsu fighter Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 my advice to you would be to try a private brazilian jiu-jitsu lesson and tell the instructor you needs, it wouldn;t even cost much if you hired one of his advanced students, im sure they would tech you privately for cheap, try a private, tell the guy you feel your ground combatives need work and he will create a lesson plan and work on it with you "When we go to the ground,you are in my world, the ground is the ocean, I am the shark,and most people don't even know how to swim"
omnifinite Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 You could also look for a seminar somewhere that covers what you're looking for. I don't know how easy it would be to find one, but seminars tend to be focused on select situations/techniques. jiu-jitsu fighter's suggestion will probably work best. 1st Dan HapkidoColored belts in Kempo and Jujitsu
Red J Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 try a private, tell the guy you feel your ground combatives need work and he will create a lesson plan and work on it with you This sounds like a good way to go. Who knows you may even start cross training if it really works out for you. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
Frosty Posted January 30, 2003 Author Posted January 30, 2003 I've found a Shootfighting School in my area which I will check out. Although I'm hoping that Ground Work will dominate, it looks like an All Round System. Has anybody heard of this Art or can refer a Website to look up. Giving me a hint if its strategy will conflict with Wing Chun would be nice.
Kirves Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 Shootfighting is mostly like training in a mixed martial art. Covers all empty hand ranges adequately. Some WC hand stuff might work with it, but the footwork and general movement is different from WC. Shootfighting is really like training thaiboxing + jujutsu + wrestling all together.
