Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Real Life Applications?

[e-lie]

I am a big fan of russian based fighting styles like sambo and systema hey inside man u r one of the few guys on here who knows whats he's talking about.Most people watch blood sport which is a total sham movie and think the know everything

Try going to a school, they will show you. You could have already been training for 4 months by now.

But it's work to do that, whereas this Martial Arts Wanking (MAW) requires no sweat at all.

haha MAW. You actually promote yourself within MAW, it is going to change the MMA world! I think I'm going to give myself a........red belt with two stripes in escrima today! That wasn't hard at all, a little MA wanking is all it takes!

Thanks e-lie. Sambo is a really interesting sport, must be interesting to train the favorite style of emelianenko! Do they actually teach you how to survive the randleplex in sambo? You would think so!

 

[Reyaj]

Randy would have beaten emelianenko!

The best thing martial arts can teach you is probably the survival mindset. Call it being paranoid or what have you but always checking my six and being aware of my surroundings was what I learned from my instructor. You do whatever comes naturally to you and take whatever opportunity your attacker gives you to disable him or end the situation.

Bob Spour is ex-SAS, so he knows what he's on about, throw "Bob Spour" into YouTube and you'll get a good idea, also check out Tony Blauer, he's worth a look.

As he says, and in my opinion, being an ex-black belt in Shotokahn style karate (I think that's how you spell it), most of what they teach will not be effective in real life unless you are like Jackie Chan or a total expert who has trained for YEARS. You may notice, in real life, the guys you are fighting WILL NOT play fair, will not stop if your hurt and will hit you wherever they think they can which will deal most damage.

In that, he also tells why Martial Artists lose street fights, and check out the comments some are helpful too...

I'd like to hear true stories from ANYBODY here who has used martial arts effectively in a street fight, 'cause I don't think it's gonna happen. Or even if you have, I bet it wasn't as simple as the stuff shown in these links...

Here's some more watching for you...

The list goes on, THIS is the sort of stuff you need to be teaching yourself...

Agreed, Bob Spour knows what he's talking about. His techniques resemble that of Krav Maga.

It really depends if you're talking about a fight to the death or multiple opponents, or with weapons..

Real life application of fighting involves from knowing how to use ur fist empty handed all the way up to firearms usage. You can't be a master of all trades.

If you're talking about a 1v1 fight with rules like no cheap shots and no weapons.. I'd give Boxing, Muay Thai and BJJ, basically MMA.

If you're talking about a fight to the death at a bar and CANNOT get away, I'd avoid going to the ground, and use Krav Maga techniques such like Bob Spour's.

If it's just a street fight and you don't know if the enemy is packing a knife or whatnot. I'd suggest you to not get into it and run. It's not worth it.
