mouko_yamamoto Posted July 24, 2003 Author Posted July 24, 2003 what is KM? Tang Soo Do/Tae Kwon Do....Oh yeah, and unofficially...KENJUTSU"There are five possible operations for any army.

aznkarateboi Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 Krav Maga. It was designed for self defense in many different situations
mouko_yamamoto Posted July 24, 2003 Author Posted July 24, 2003 bjj or km? which is better for street fights? Tang Soo Do/Tae Kwon Do....Oh yeah, and unofficially...KENJUTSU"There are five possible operations for any army. If you can fight, fight; if you cannot fight, defend; if you cannot defend, flee; if you cannot flee, surrender; if you cannot surrender, die." ~ Sima Yi
aznkarateboi Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 krav maga would be better because grappling when there are multiple opponents or weapons is deadly to the grappler
mouko_yamamoto Posted July 24, 2003 Author Posted July 24, 2003 Would it be bad if it was the first art I will study...? If I study either of the two?

Treebranch Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 San Soo or Krav Maga. Both are well rounded arts. "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.""Lock em out or Knock em out"
Kirves Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 I'd pick BJJ from the options presented here. BJJ only means prolonged rolling on the ground when you have an equally skilled ground grappler against you. Otherwise it can be quite quick and often without need to going down at all. The "ground grappling only BJJ" is a myth based on the sport fighting BJJ.

ValeTudo Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 I train BJJ and I'd agree that it's great for self-defense. However, Krav Maga MIGHT be better for you. They teach weapons defenses, etc... And they do adrenaline rush training. Although, I don't do Krav Maga (I do BJJ, Muay Thai, and Boxing) I hear that it's pretty good against common street thugs. Maybe TJS should answer this question. He does Krav.
monkeygirl Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 This is a topic for the Comparative Styles forum. With that in mind, remember to keep the conversation to comparing the training methods/techniques of each style, not "which is better for self-defense". 1st dan & Asst.
