For those that think Brazilian JuJitsu is the best Martial Art--It is best for what specifically?

You are alone in a %26quot;street defense%26quot; situation.


Your attacker points a gun at you.


He most likely has buddies hiding somewhere (this is not your neighborhood)...


Why would BJJ be superior?|||If that is the situation you are in and the person holding the gun is more then 5 feet away then you are f**ked, even if you knew every MA in the world you are not going to be able to move faster then a bullet fired out of a gun that is fact, and if you knew that the person had mates hiding around the corner, the BJJ would not serve you all that well in that situation because if you disarmed your attacker and got him to the ground then his mates would just run over and pound you until you let go.





I think that BJJ is a situated one on one MA and in that capability it is one of the best but with the situation that you pointed out then I would like to know Karv Maga or Karate, TKD or anyother martial art just not BJJ.|||It%26#039;s good in the ring, in the real world Krav Maga is better.|||No matter how you are trained, the best way to go in that situation is to give the guy your wallet and get the hell out of dodge. To be proficient at any self-defense technique, you must repeat it over and over again, and there are not many classes in any style that train the %26quot;disarm idiot with gun who was foolish enough to stand close enough for you to reach him while his backup thugs wait invisible in the shadows%26quot; technique. Bottom line is that the guy with the gun is ahead and your best %26quot;move%26quot; is to live to fight another day.





Now as to the value of BJJ, it is a great martial art for ground fighting (very useful in most legit 1 on 1 fights). Most BJJ schools also teach basic situational self-defense for protection against punches, kicks, and grabs that integrate BJJ techniques. Will they work against a trained Muay Thai fighter? Probably not very well. Will they work in most street fight situations? No doubt. Will any martial art help you in the situation described in the question? Only if it teaches the speedy %26quot;hand over the money%26quot; strike.|||I am a practitioner of the art, and I do not believe it is the best martial art. There%26#039;s no such thing. They all have their benefits. BJJ is just one of the many sports to master in competition fighting.





Now if someone pointed a gun at you, I believe some of the military martial arts would be more effective right there. they don%26#039;t exactly teach you how to deal with guns at BJJ lessons.





But if there is the possibility of others hiding in the area, why would you want to fight back? Believe me, no matter what martial arts I know, I would simply give in to their demands. It%26#039;s alot easier to heal an ego than it is to heal a gunshot wound.





There is no best martial art. You have to incorporate them all into your training. Anybody who claims BJJ is the best is a misguided, badly trained fool, but it is a very effective art and all martial artists should experience it.|||There isn%26#039;t alot you can do to prepare yourself for such a situation, too many variables but I%26#039;d rather be well versed in BJJ than nothing, if your attacker were to get distracted for just 1 second, you would have enough time to turn the tables, ofcourse if he was just trying to mug you it would probably be a better idea to just hand over your wallet than try to pull off such a risky stunt|||First of all if someone is pointing a gun at you there are a million different situation, to act in a million different ways.





BJJ is not the only best martial art for self defense in a real street fight, only know BJJ will not help you win the fight, if you are looking for a martial art for the street fights then you need to know a couple, for example:


Judo, Karate, Jiu Jitsu


Will give you all you need to win a street fight.


- Judo gives you advantages in a close fight (You can through him against the ground)





- Karate gives you advantages in far distance (Kicks punches and blocks)





- Jiu Jitsu allows you to stop an opponent%26#039;s knife and counter attack choke (break any bone in his body)

you will find all the information you need about street fights|||BJJ is a grappling martial art. it trains you to disarm your opponent quickly and forces a close contact fight which would cause his buddies to come out into the open to help him. BJJ also uses pressure points and holds that would enable you to use your attacker as a hostage and escape from the ally|||cuz no matter what you train in your screwed|||Man u must live in the streets of compton or something , because most of the street fights I been in , involves me and some dude behind a parking lot , with a bunch of drunk dudes ranting and watching. Its usually a fair fight, and in Fair man vs. man , best man wins situations BJJ will make you come out on top , and its good because its a great way of ending the fight with out hurting yourself or your loud mouth opponent (unless he dose not tap) but mostly all do.
