Jujitsu questions?

I have been thinking about taking Jujitsu lessons along with my boxing lessons, will these two go together? I like the idea of Jujitsu but is seems hard to put someone in an arm lock or some sort of lock the they are throwing rapid punches at you, is it applicable in real life situations and how long does it take tomaster this art or get to a level where you can defend your self against bigger stronger attackers.|||some people have been able to earn their black belt in jiu-jitsu in as little as 3 years but those results are not typical. You have to dedicate 5 days week and practice practice practice in order to get it that fast. Mike Fowler is the most noteable and recent black belt to do it in around that time.





But to answer your question. BJJ is practical against a boxer and against most people that just like to slug it out. More than likely they have no idea how to defend a takedown and they probably are completely clueless on how to defend themselves once they are on their back. You could easily exploit this with a months training in the art.





In the event that your opponent decides to take you down to attempt to beat on you down there you will have the knowledge how to work from your back...more importantly you will become completely comfortable being there. There are almost as many submissions from your back as their are with you on top in the mount.. That doesn%26#039;t even include sweeps.|||You are partially right in that it is hard to put some people into a hold, especially while they are punching and struggling with you while they are standing. It will give you a better chance in that as you gain in skill and understanding of Ju-Jitsu and try for first one hold and the person resists or the opportunity to apply it shrinks other opportunities will present themselves to apply other holds. Not only that but if a fight lasts more than a few seconds then it oftentimes ends up on the ground and here once again it will give you more ability to defend yourself. You have little power and leverage in your punches while grappling and wrestling on the ground with your adversary and so some other type of martial art that teaches ground fighting techniques is great. A good Ju-Jitsu program not only teaches holds, but take downs, chokes and ground fighting that allows you to more adequately defend yourself while on the ground-not just standing up.|||Yes, Jujitsu is one of the most effective arts you could possibly learn, although it will take years, if not a lifetime to master, results can be seen in as little as one week. Remember, it is said that a GJJ white belt can beat a black belt of almost any other style.





-Out.





And p.s.: a jiu-jitsu practitioner would easily beat a boxer, even if they throw like Ali. The reason is is that boxing doesn%26#039;t work on your back.
