Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or Japanese Jiu Jitsu? | |
What is the big difference between brazilian jiu jitsu and the traditional japanese jiu jitsu, what would mix better with Wing Chun?
Answers:
1BJJ has more ground techniques. It is intended more for a "one on one" match style fight. It works great in self defense if you are isolated and alone with your opponent. It does utilize more "leverage" style and as such requires less strength. Most of what makes BJJ, BJJ is there ground techniques. They also favor the guard quite a bit. Japanese JJ will probably blend better with wing-chun. Traditional JJ is a combination of striking and locking. They try to avoid the ground at all cost. This is, in my opinion, better for actual defense since very rarely would you want to be on your back on the ground in a fight. Or on top of your opponent on the ground in a fight. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that most fights aren't going to be "one on one." Especially if you are getting the better of someone else. Since JJ is the "parent" style of BJJ then if you are not interested in the "ground techniques" you're better off to get the stand up from the source. Plus, I doubt Wing Chun is very functional on your back with your feet in the air.
