goshinman Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 Most of the time someone breaks it up be it law enforcement or security. At any rate most streetfights do end rather abruptly. The pace of the fighting is crazy and something that you can't mimick withany so called REALITY based training. Tapped out, knocked out, or choked out...Take your pick.http://jujitsu4u.com/http://www.combatwrestling.com/http://gokor.com/

aznkarateboi Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 BJJ is better because I heard that 90% at all streetfights land on the ground. Have you ever wondered why everyone that says that is probably also selling a BJJ instructional tape/book?
TJS Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 oncce again your they migh back off but chances are if they really want to hurt you they arent going to back off after a few swings.
KwicKixJ1 Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 y'know... i stuck with striking arts because i'm not comfortable in that kinda distance. grappling just seemed messy to me. maybe that's the point i guess... but anyways. one thing that wasn't taken into consideration (i'm not sure... maybe it was and i missed it) is that the UFC, NHB fighters spend A LOT of time on strength training. lifting weights etc... which adds a lot to brute strength. most kung fu practicioners don't do that. true, they can create a lot of power with jing and other techniques, but physics speaks for itself. i think its really hard to determine what's effective and what's not because it's so important to take the individual into consideration. and even then its hard to generalize because you get into discussions about who was the best in what. there's a lot of restrictions in the UFC. and muay thai and brazilian jiu jitsu feed off of those rules and are really good at using them to an advantage. i think those two styles are awesome. VERY powerful styles. but it's kinda hard to classify them as arts. anyways, there's my two cents.
TJS Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 NHB fighters spend A LOT of time on strength training. lifting weights etc... which adds a lot to brute strength. im sure it's part of the routine of todays fighters buti dont think most of them devote a whole lot of time to strength training..there's a lot of restrictions in the UFC. and muay thai and brazilian jiu jitsu feed off of those rules and are really good at using them to an advantage I think your right to an extent but you could also go back a few years when their were alot less rules and MT, BJJ, and Wrestling still stood above the rest.
