Brazilian jiu jitsu on street fighting? | |
Ok this is for the Brazilian jiu jitsu and judo fighters.
We agree that BJJ is the best to win a match in a mix martial art combat, I give you that.
But if you're in a street fight, wouldn't Judo be better than BJJ?.
Street fights are never 1v1, so a BJJ fighter would try to beat his opponent on the ground, and then his opponent's friends would kick him in the head or something, the BJJ fighter at this stage is defenseless against multiple fighters.
But if you are a JUDO fighter, you would throw the opponent to the ground while still standing, the impact could be enough to win, if not, it still gives you time to throw another of your opponent's helpers, if you do it to quick, you could throw them all one by one, since the ones thrown take time to recover, or might as well pass out or have something broken. Right?
Answers:
1It's not a matter of BJJ or Judo fighting. It's the martial artist that fights, not the art itself. The art is lifeless. It's just a concept.
It's true that ground grappling is a big mistake in a real street fight, especially for those who love to go straight to the ground with their opponent just for the sake of doing it. I mean, yea, in the UFC and such, that stuf works, but in actual combat, that's a whole different ball game. It's crazy because you are putting yourself in jeopardy, but groundwork comes in handy if you are knocked to the ground and you have no other choice but to fight from the ground..
It's best to stay on your feet as long as you can though, regardless. It's true what they say that alot of fights end up on the ground, but what people fail to realize is that those are people who aren't fighting practically.
In a street fight, you use whatever the situation calls for. If it doesn't call for groundwork, then don't use it. If it doesn't call for throws of any kind, don't use them. It's just pure common sense.

really.? what if your attacker is beating the sh*t out of you standing in a one on one fight? don't take it to where you might have an advantage? i don't really see why this is "common sense" to remain standing? i say if you are a better ground fighter than a stand up fighter slam the guy to the ground and pound him out, put him to sleep, or break something that will make a stand up fight more even if it returns to that, otherwise capitalize on your strengths! you are putting yourself in jeopardy by pretending that you can stand with anyone while assuming grappling experience is useless in a real fight, come on that is down right senseless!
i would have to agree that if you are trying to avert an all out fight with an attacker or attackers judo would be the art that will allow you to toss the guy(s) then run like hell versus jiu jitsu. if you can't break free from the attacker and have to stay and fight then jiu jitsu would serve you better than judo; if there is more than one attacker or he has cronies then you definately want to remain standing at all costs! my reasoning is that in judo you will be capable of throwing the person to the ground but if he is much stronger/heavier or you for some reason aren't able to then you have to resort to ground fighting or strikes while standing, if there are multiple attackers you don't want to use jiu jitsu cause you will be wrapping up one guy's arm, leg, throat, etc. while his buddies are kicking you soccer style in the head with size 14 steel toe boots.
it's best to avoid street fights whenever possible, travel in groups when going out, and know the signs of impending confrontation - then mentally prepare an appropriate and realistic response that minimizes the damage you or your party will incur while diffusing the situation/threat.
this is where the previous answer is accurate - use whatever the fight calls for; but if given the option capitalize on your strenth(s) rather than find out later that you didn't measure up in a stand up battle.
