  • Does Brazilian Jiu Jitsu work in self-defense or street fight? Today I compete in a Jiujitsu tournament to see what happens if you don't go to the ground. Because that's the last place you wanna be in real life.

      You are uncovering an unfortunate truth of any sports martial art, they work best when you follow their rules. Not so much when you don't! I honestly think just about every martial art has it's place (well, almost every art), but in the end it's a game of rock paper scissors.

      Sorry Jesse, I didn't watch until the end. My business partner (in a martial arts business of course) was an AFP officer, who's job it was to work with heads of state and keep them safe. Their organisation put BJJ into the curriculum for CPP and GD roles and after about 2 years pulled it all back out again. Statistically, the officer injury went up dramatically when the officer went to the ground with the offender. To solidify their decision a serious fight occurred in the city where I live, where a highly ranked (and well known) BJJ guy got into a fight one Friday night. He quickly and easily pulled his opponent to the ground and established top mount in moments, right before the opponent's mate kicked him in the head and put him in a coma... That is not to say BJJ doesn't have it's place, it does. You summed it up perfectly, there is a time and place, and the ground is the last place you want to be in a real fight.

    As a blackbelt in multiple martial arts my former instructor continually drilled into our heads that if we ever had no choice but to fight to attacked first and attack hard. He would ofter recommend we deliver a snap kick to the groin and get away from the scene and then call for help. As he said real life is not the movies and you have no idea if the person confronting you has accomplices or possibly a weapon. You never stand toe to toe with someone in a real life situation and always remember there are no rule’s except to save yourself.

    As a purple belt I can confirm that the biggest flaw in jiu jitsu is the lack of takedowns. Not very many jiu jitsu fighters learn them. Not a whole lot of coaches teach them. I always tell people that jiu jitsu is only effective if you can take your opponent to the ground and keep them there

    After 10 years of practicing BJJ on and off, currently a purple belt (stuck here for 5 years) I've found a school where we start every roll standing, pulling guard is frowned upon and discouraged. Our coach is both a bjj/judo bb so at least 30-40% of the technique is takedowns, sweeps, and throws. It's hard af but I love it.

      When BJJ went to Brazil it didn't go as BJJ, it was Judo, however, when it was passed to the Gracie family, one of the smaller brothers realized he could never win against bigger judo fighters except with submissions from the ground and thus pulling guard and BJJ was born, taking this in consideration we realize that BJJ is specialized in countering bigger/better judo practitioners where takedowns are impossible, however, pulling guard has always meant to be a defence against a takedown so that you go to the ground on your own terms, doing your own takedown should always be preferred, especially if you're not against judo.

    Been learning BJJ the past five months and my ground work has gotten really good. We don't ignore takedowns so I've gotten pretty good at forcing people to the ground. However, my friend who trains MMA wanted to see if he defend my takedowns. Because I only practiced against guys who did BJJ my takedowns were useless. I have had no experience trying to takedown someone throwing kicks, punches and knees at me. Humbling but that's why I'm taking up other forms of martial arts to complement my BJJ.

      Bjj is about the action to the reaction and vis versa. From what I have learnt as an early student, it’s about feeling your opponent. If you are standing in a street fight and you keep your distance you are winning. If some one is up in your face close the distance, you can see the attack is coming so you make your move, there is many variations you can use for a takedown but first you must feel what the enemy is doing. If you are good either way you are taking that sucker to the ground and with proper technique that enemy is done for

      I hear you. If an experienced grappler takes an inexperienced grappler to the ground, the inexperienced person is very likely stuck. I agree. That's not pulling guard, though.
      Gordon Ryan, for example, pulls guard because he doesn't know how to effectively take people to the ground. He knows competition BJJ and nothing else, so after failing at some lazy foot sweeps, he invariably sits down and scoots around like a dog with worms. Bo Nickal proved it doesn't work, and Bo's experience is even further removed from martial arts than competition BJJ. The Gracies, also, did this against Sakuraba and have the very dark bruises to prove it doesn't work.
      This doesn't even address the fact that pulling guard and pretending you're comfortable on the bottom doesn't work unless you're on a padded mat. On bottom, on concrete, you have seconds to gain an advantage before blood starts spilling out of your head, if it isn't already.

      Is extremely effective but you don’t use it alone it’s what you use on the ground and you NEVER want to be there but if you do this is what you do. Also he got destroyed when he went with people who actually knew bjj but when he went with the white belt who was obviously very green yea he was able to walk away. In a competition you use just that martial art sport is different than self defense. That’s like if you were boxing and ran away from the ring and when the ref made you come back you said the art was useless bc irl you could do that.

      Martial Arts have rules to be used in training, sparing, and tournaments with referees. Obviously, in a street fight, the following will happen: Taekwondo fighters will use punches; Karate will disregard the 'rules' such as no kicks on the face, BJJ will throw you in the ground and use illegal techniques (a.k.a they will break your foot/hand if you try to break out of a submission), and Judo guys will throw you in CONCRETE/ASPHALT ground.
      Martial Arts CAN and WILL kill. In Vietnam War, a few South Korean troops engaged againts Vietcongs. When both sides ran out of ammo, they engaged in melee. Turns out that if a Korean using combat army boots kicks you on the face, you will indeed die! (Taekwondo was used by Korean Army back then)
      It is like Jesse said at the end. Just because in a Boxing ring there are rules, doesn't means that a Boxer won't break a rib or two if you attack him while screaming "WHEN I SEE RED ITS OVER, STREET FIGHTING FOR THE WIIIIN!". The tradition of Martial Arts (Martial = military) was to kill. Nowadays, they made it safe to use as a sport but if you break certain rules, it is still lethal. That is why referees stops a match when needed. A UFC/MMA fighter who goes limp and attacking anything infront of them is already unconscious. That is when the referee jumps in to stop a death.

    So this is actually an awesome video and take. I’m a multi-year BJJ practitioner and all three of the gyms I’ve practiced at all preached this as gospel. You don’t hang out on your back. You don’t pull guard in a self defense situation. In a struggle for self preservation you do everything in your power to keep your distance and keep mobile.
    One thing that gets lost in communication is that proper Jiujitsu is not meant to be ground fighting. It’s meant to be surgical wrestling. BJJ modified it for maximum stamina efficiency which is why it focuses so heavily on ground work and being dangerous off of your back. However my coaches and most of the best practitioners like Roger Gracie preach staying off your back if you can at all help it.

      Well that's why you learn more than 1 art to become well rounded. You also learn how to use weapons. Think about what the guy said in the video: jiu jitsu was made as a last resort if your weapon broke and you were taken to the ground. Before that, you have striking like karate/boxing to strike before being taken to the ground. Before striking, you have short melee weapons like knives and sticks. Before that, you have longer range weapons like guns and grenades.
      All of these things fil a certain niche and serve crucial purposes and they're all important. Only a moron would become an expert with a gun alone thinking he'll never have to worry about a situation where the other guy has a knife or there's zero weapons and it becomes a slug fest or grappling.

      Yeh. The self-defense videotapes they had in the early 1990's was pure rubbish. They came to America and settled in El Lay at that time and brought something different to that scene. Problem is, everything else in El Lay was better at self-defense than what they did. Insofar as those matches they had in their studio, the problem was none of their opponents grappled, the ruleset forbade heavy strikes to end things and the worst part was that ridiculous mat that you couldn't stand on. If you watch their self-defense vids, you'll see that a lot of it was warmed over stuff that was present in a lot of other programs prior to the Gracies arriving in El Lay. They just copied a lot of it but never really knew how it worked.

      I'm thinking BJJ is good to know when you are *already* on the ground but should mostly be used for disposing of the immediate threat so you can get back on your feet and switch back to something more suited for that position. For some reason I'm thinking of the fight between Indiana Jones and sword guy he shoots; play to *your* strengths, not *their* rules.
      Realistically in a "actual fight", the strategy should always be either "end the fight now" or "get into a better position" (both of which can often be accomplished by running away).

      Don't play the other person's game when you are in a real fight. Second, there is no striking in this style unless you go back to the original founding. Third, this type of fighting is last resort. Either the strongest will win, or the most skilled will generally win the fight.
      I do believe however if Jesse would have just when to the floor, it would have been over very quickly. Dragging it out and allowing the guy to exhaust himself allowed for a decisive quick victory at the end.

    Well you went against a brand new white belt (I don't think he even had a stripe, did he?) who clearly didn't know any takedowns. If it had been even a serious blue belt things would be way different. The reason the ref wants you to grapple is because its a grappling tournament, so you do have to touch each other. They're not showing up to kickbox.
