BJJ For Self Defense

No matter how much muscle I have, I will make a fool out of myself if I ever get in a fight because I know no martial arts. I'm considering getting into BJJ. My local gym/dojo, whatever you call it, is offering training for $100 a month. I want to train to the point that I can confidently take down anybody, including untrained opponents who are much bigger than me. Should I invest in BJJ? What should I do beforehand?

      I already own a pistol. I rarely go out, I don't have a proper holster for it (Crappy Taurus where all the gear for it costs a fortune. Imagine paying $40 for a magazine.), and my Dad doesn't like it when I tell him to bring it with us, and it's basically his pistol. I plan on getting a Glock one day with a holster and spare magazines once I save up enough money. Once I get a Glock, I will be carrying it with me whenever I go out.

        Glocks are old and busted. The best carry pistols now are the p365, hellcat, or lcp 2/max.

        Yeah dude bjj classes are gonna be $150/m, so you're really better off just saving up for the glock from a financial and self defense perspective.

        That said bjj is great workout and way to learn how to protect yourself on the ground so definitely go after it if you're interested.

      Most BJJ are for sports. Be well aware which ones you go to. Judo is really good, but most Japanese Jujitsu 'schools' teach Judo. While you're at it pick up a striking art, you can learn Boxing yourself but its hard to master without an opponent. Kyokushin and Muay Thai are good options outside of Boxing that are everywhere

      This too

      Do they throw punches in BJJ? From a few videos I've watched online of martial artists, they recommend also learning a striking martial art, like Boxing or Muay Thai.

        Some bjj gyms incorporate stand up striking for initiations, as well as throws or grapples for takedowns. These are a minority though - most bjj gyms will focus solely on groundfighting and will have you practice movements already starting in a mounted position of some sort.

        This leaves a pretty big hole in your overall technique if you don't know how to initiate and actually move a fight to the ground and into a position you can work with. Because of this, a lot of people will supplement what they learn with a striking art such as Muay Thai or kickboxing. That way you can initiate an hold a fight in a standing position, and if the fight goes to the ground then you'll be confident there as well.

        Easiest way to go about it is to find an actual MMA gym. You'll get the best of both worlds at one cost (usually). As someone who attends 2 gyms for 2 martial arts, it's unnecessarily expensive and the schedule conflicts can be a pain in the ass

          How many BJJ gyms have you gone to to determine that the majority lack stand up?

            Anonymous

            There are 3 gyms in my area that are BJJ focused. I trialed at all 3 before settling at one that had a few other students from my kickboxing gym. All 3 of them had a strict focus on ground work. To the credit of the one I currently attend, the more advanced classes do have a bit of grappling based initiation, but you have to train for a while before you can attend the advanced classes, so you're stuck with that hole in your technique for a while.

            I can't really say whether or not my experience is typical, but 3 gyms being that way does feel like more than just a coincidence.

    BJJ is fun and you can learn some legit self defense. However, you should also do it because you want meet new people and develop friendships. The likelihood you getting into a physical is slim to none unless you are an idiot.
    If you have a wrestling club near by, try that instead.

      How long did it take for you to get a purple belt, and how long have you been a purple belt? I watched a video that explained that at purple belt, you should consistently be able to take down opponents who are much larger than you who lack any training in martial arts.

        Not the same poster but it typically can take upwards of 5-6 years to become a purple belt, the expected time from white to black belt is 10 years with regular training, though some savants earn it much sooner. Honestly though once you've trained regularly for about 3 months you can fairly confidently submit most inexperienced grapplers, they often don't know what to do on the ground and it becomes very easy if you know basic principles of grappling.

          This, same thing for homosexual headlocks and shit. I saw that Spencer Jones fight. If some MMgay Black person did that to me, I would reach up and jam my thumb(s) into his eye socket(s). He can either break the hold or lose his eye(s). His choice. Same thing goes for his balls. I can wedge my hand underneath his leg. Nobody does this in MMgay because it's against the rules. No rules in a bar fight. I could also reach into my pocket, pull out my knife, and jam it into his femoral artery. In a headlock like that, that is exposed. No rules in a bar fight, and he will bleed out in seconds with a sliced femoral artery. All th mmgay and wrestling expertise won't do shit against that move. That's what I would have done in that situation and I would have been fully legally justified

                Not him but pulling out a knife when someone puts you in a headlock is something that will happen. BJJ is a meme for street fights because just about any submission puts you in a position where the guy that supposed to tap to you can pull out a knife out of his pocket and repeatedly stab you and there isn't much you can do to stop him other than immediately try to get up and run away. good luck reaching for his knife as he's fricking jamming it into your organs repeatedly.

                Self defense is self defense. Any punch to the face has a chance of knocking you out and killing you. If you fear for your life it doesn't matter that the person assaulting you wasn't serious. No one is gonna care that the choke wasn't meant to kill, the guy you were choking was scared you're going to choke him to death and he stabbed you repeatedly to save his life, he gets to walk free.

                Guess what the guy fricking walked because the muay thai guy was a physically superior opponent with a frick ton more fighting experience, he said he feared for his life and that's that. Any time a knee could flying and he'd get knocked out and who knows what happens after that?
                No judge is gonna pick your side if you have martial arts training and put yourself in a position where you can seriously harm someone. They will use lethal force to defend themselves and they will walk.

                Doubt. You're pulling this story out of your ass or at least heavily manipulating the details. If what you're saying is true, then even though the guy walked, he's still a piece of white trash who has no honor. He can't prove he's a man, so he resorts to killing any man who challenges his masculinity.

                It wasn't ruled anything, the prosecutor just decided not to pursue it. Which they can do for anything bo matter how obvious the crimes are and how much evidence there is (see:hilary clinton, etc). If that fight ended in mmgay Black folk death, and they wanted to try to charge him, there's two problems. One, the video clearly shows mmgay assaulting spencer , and second most states count certain levels of martial arts training to be a deadly weapon automatically (ohio, Georgia. I don't know about OK where this happened). So, pretty justified to use lethal force when someone assaults you with a deadly weapon, fricktard

It's not like you're nicking someone's artery with your first swipe as you struggle for air and can't even see where the man's inner thigh or neck is especially considering he may be wearing jeans so you'd have to make a stabbing motion to even cut through and deep enough.

                You clearly have no clue how to fight because you're lacking any experience or insight into important details when you go into these LARPing sessions

                You literally have no idea how quickly you lose consciousness once you're in a rear choke, hey?

                It sounds like you think there's this back and forth struggle where you tug at their arm for a little bit, and then reach down, find your pocket, pull your knife out, release the blade, and then attempt a stab on your attacker's body.

                The reality is that as soon as your carotid artery is blocked by the choke, you can lose consciousness in around 5 seconds. And the few seconds leading up to that, you'll already be experiencing tunnel vision and numbness before finally blacking out.

                If you think you're in any position to try and fondle your pockets trying to locate your knife while being choked out, then you're really gonna have a bad time. It would be different if the knife was already in your hand by the time the choke was engaged, but if it's not then you're fricked.

            Eye gouging rarely ever results in lost eyes. Your eyeballs are actually really hard, and you have to consider that early humans and other primitive apes fighting to the death would've hat less success at reproducing had their eyes been soft enough to easily destroy.
            >Same thing goes for his balls. I can wedge my hand underneath his leg. Nobody does this in MMgay because it's against the rules.
            They used to in the UFC, but it was unpleasant to watch, so they banned eye gouging and attacking genital areas. Those guys were pretty tough.

    BJJ is very situational. If you're in a bar fight and you take someone to the ground, chances are he has a mate who will stomp your head in.

    Learn boxing or kickboxing. It might not be as technical, but you'll be able to hold your own in most scenarios.

      Almost right take. You need KB and wrestling.

      In any fight you might end on the floor and wrestling offers the greatest amount of control, offense, speed and high and low ground work.

      BJJ literally teaches you to remain on the floor be it top or bottom position. But wrestling has you change positions constantly and never be trapped which means you can stand back up.

    If your only focus is self-defense then carrying is unironically the best thing you can do. If you want to do BJJ to compete, make friends, stay active, lose weight, or whatever that's great, it is a lot of fun. You will develop skills that can help you in a physical altercation, but you will not develop skills that will help you in an altercation where someone wants to kill you, however unlikely that may be. Self-defense is a sham, there is no israelite karate class you can take that will save you from a homeless person with a sharp object.

    Honestly I do both muay thai and BJJ, if you had to pick ONE and only ONE martial art I'd say do neither, learn judo and get gud at it. That shit excels at putting you in a dominant position. There are a few simple rules in fights: don't get your back taken, don't end up on the ground with your opponent standing over you, and don't be outnumbered/outgunned.

    That said, nothing beats having a solid grounding in all 3 (stand up striking, takedowns and ground fighting). A good Muay thai gym will teach you the stand up clinch, which is basically stand up bjj and something most people are very uncomfortable dealing with. And most good bjj gyms realize they need to include more takedowns from a standing position because people slowly realized that just endlessly pulling guard wasn't a good idea in an actual fight lmao holy shit who would have guessed right?

    tl;dr just get out there, find a good gym with a solid competition record, and just go regularly. You'll be a better fighter than at minimum 90% of the morons out there and you'll have a good time. You might even grow to enjoy it.

        Can't use a pistol in tons of public places that would result in fighting breaking out (amusement parks, sports stadiums, etc.)

        Gungays are complete b***hes in many social situations, and pulling a gun on someone bigger and stronger than you basically screams, "I am an inadequate little b***h and I know I've already lost this fight, so that's why I need this tool"

        Learning to fight is for Chads and instantly boosts your social standing should that situation ever arise, so I understand why many channers, like you, aren't cut out to be the big boy alpha dog, ten-inch-dick-having, pussy slaying monsters with the skills to back up the ego.

    Brazilian JuJitsu legit looks like gay rape. It was created by a jap named Mitsuyo Maeda, who learned early-phase Judo from its founder (Jigoro Kano). However, Maeda was expelled from Japan for 2,400 acts of forced public homosexuality. So, he took his manraping skills to the jungles of Brazil, hoping to rape many exotic species in the rainforest. One day, while chasing monkeys, he found the Gracie brothers. I dont have to tell you what happened next. Rather than run away, the gracies decided to become his students, becoming proficient in the arts of homosexual rape. When their training was complete, Maeda excreted a 4-foot long turd on each of their tests, telling them it was their "brown belt." All the elder gracies still have those giant Rio steamers, in glass cases on their walls, as heirlooms to be passed on to their descendants. Truly, brazilian ju jitsu has a glorious history.

You don't want to engage with morons and lunatics like that, there are no rules and there's nothing to win. You never know if they have a weapon either. Just carry a gun.

        Do you live in Algeria? If you try to put someone in a restrictive choke you are endangering their life and they are 100% allowed to use lethal force to save their lives. No one cares that you weren't serious.
        If you punch or choke someone you are using lethal force by default because those things can kill people. There is no such thing as a "casual bar fight" the moment you put your hands on someone they can use lethal force to defend themselves.

    It's good for self defense but you have to depend on not getting shit stomped by other people when you take the fight to the ground. Boxing is a better and cheaper option if you are only interested in self defense.

    Try it and see if you like it. It’s a fun physical activity that isn’t the typical workout. As far as self defense goes that is a complicated topic. If your primary goal is to win a fight it’s probably not worth investing the time into BJJ. It’s ridiculous to train anything for years just so you can win a fight that you really should never get in. Normally the guys who come just for self defense never last.

    BJJ brown belt, training since 2010. I’m a big strong in shape dude and definitely can’t say I can win a fight over anyone I meet because that is ridiculous. I also can’t recall anyone I’ve trained with getting into a street fight.

    It takes a while to get to that point but you should easily win your average street fight at the competition blue belt level (i.e. you place in larger local tournaments).

    I wouldn't go for the cheapest instruction. There's a larger gap between competition and hobbyist black belts than there is between hobbyist black belts and white belts. Also, don't judge instruction quality by belts alone. I know one guy who turned down his black belt promotion to compete at an international tournament.

    On what to do: go to the school's website and do their free trial (usually a week or a month free). For street fights, you want to focus on no gi. 10th planet is a big no gi chain but honestly, you'll learn more at small schools with strong pedigrees -- instructor attention makes a huge difference.

    The time to get to a point where you can defend yourself with BJJ is about two years or to blue belt. Which is why I reccomend Muay Thai for self defence as you can get to that point in six months. Ideally you'd do both though.

    >BJJ for street fights!
    To see how well that would work, let's look at the moves banned by UFC. UFC was created by and for BJJ. So we can surmise they banned lots of moves that are effective for breaking BjJ;
    >Head-butting
    >Biting or spitting at an opponent
    >Hair pulling
    >Fish-hooking
    >Eye gouging of any kind
    >Groin attacks
    >Downward pointing of elbow strikes
    >Small joint manipulation
    >Strikes to the spine or back of the head or anything behind the ears
    >Throat strikes of any kind, including, without limitation, grabbing the trachea
    Fingers outstretched towards opponent's face/eyes
    >Clawing, pinching, twisting the flesh
    Kicking and knee-striking the head of a grounded opponent (see Soccer kick)
    Stomping an opponent on the ground
    Oh look, the BJJ scam artists that created UFC banned all the moves from all other martial arts that are effective in breaking BJJ submission holds instantly. What a shock. I'm sure BJJ would still work great in a self defense scenario because a street fight opponent would similarly restrain himself to those rules used in MM-Gay

    I train BJJ and its great for self defense. Especially, when your "opponent" isn´t a big and dangerous guy and you don´t want to hurt him. You can put annoying people in lock holds or choke holds without hurting them and making an "testo meathead" out of you. My school has next to BJJ also Wrestling, Muay Thai, Boxing and MMA classes with different trainers who have all competet and have alot of experience.
    I train boxing, wrestling and BJJ 3-4 times a week (boxing starts at 6pm and BJJ at 8pm, so I have two classes a day).

    They good part of BJJ is the journey you will have. You will meet alot of nice and competitive people. You will have alot of fun at tournaments, visit different schools and make alot of friends...
    but the very best part is, that you can sniff and queez cute girl feet. We have girls from every race and style on earth. white, black, arab, kurdish, asian, tomboys, stacys and so on. I roll with one of them in each class, mostly after I have rolled with my favourite rolling partner. I act if I´m all out of breath when rolling with the cutie. I don´t go full ape shit, but it´s more techniqual. We roll a bit and she gets me in a bad situation/submission, like the back mount or the armbar. Thats when the best part begins. If she has me in the armbar, I try to hold against it and put my face away from her, towards her cute feet. It looks like I´m trying to fight it, but in reality, I start sniffing her feet. After I´m "finished", I let go of my arm, tap and tell her, that it was a good submission.
    Sometimes I let them get me in a leg log. I, again, try to "fight" it, but actually, I´m just queezing and sniffing her feet, while making "fighting noises". I roll around a bit, so it looks like I would actually fight it and tap, when I have enough.
    Thats my little foot-sniffing paradise. Most girls wants to train with me, because I fight with them, without going full berserk and don´t touch their asses and boobs, like the rest of the guys.
