I am trying to get into MA but I am still deciding which style and which school to go to.
I have found two potential schools one a TKD school and one a Jujitsu/Aikijujitsu school. Can someone point out some of the advantages/disadvantages of the two styles, especially in relation to one another?|||There seems to be this exact or simular question here every day. The best answer is to go to each school try out each and go with the one that suits you. Train hard and have fun|||What type would you like to learn? Stand up striking? or ground work? don%26#039;t listen to most ppl on here... if you arent lookin to fight everyone who is trained... you will learn to fight in either art.... both have huge gaps in their training.... If you find a good school in either... they will show you how to use the strenghts of their style (while neglecting to mention the weakneses).... If you want to learn balance flexibility and breaking boards is cool TKD (devastaing kick and hand techniques), If you want to learn take downs, submissions (how to dislocate your oponents limbs) which is also cool, then BJJ.....What ever you choose, always understand there are different ways, and no one way is correct every time, and never tell anyone else, what they learned is junk|||I%26#039;d suggest the Jujitsu/Aikijujitsu schools.
But for stand up striking I%26#039;d learn to be proficient in Boxing re: hand strikes, and fainting bobbing and waiving.
And awareness/ evasion ..Aikido
Grappling/escapes ... jiu-jitsu
Mix and match the above styles beyond average level and you%26#039;ll be a match for most people I%26#039;d say :)
Hope this helps !!!
former jiu-jitsu coach :)|||Before I answer, I want to clarify some things:
1. Whoever thinks aikijujutsu does not include atemi waza (strikes) needs to drop the crack pipe.
2. Not all jujutsu is Brazilian - thank goodness!! Not all jujutsuka want to roll on the ground while being pummeled by brutes #2-4.
3. Aikijujutu is not like judo. There are many rules in judo that do not exist in aikijujutsu. Judo is wonderful, but not the same.
To answer: depends what you want.
If you want something tailored more to sport and competition than practical self-defense, then take TKD. That does not mean TKD cannot work as self-defense...that just tends to not be the priority. TKD will also not teach weapons.
If you are interested in self-defense as opposed to competition, then the aikijujutsu school might be more applicable. If want something useful in law enforcement, then aikijutsu is definitely more applicable. Try doing a high kick with a utility belt on...
Good luck!!|||Royce Gracie has already proven that Jiu Jitsu is the superior MA. It has defeated nearly every art, including Muay Thai, Boxing and Wrestling.
Today all ALL MMA fighters learn Jiu Jitsu for that reason.|||The Relation is that they both need time and effort to be good at! For self defense there both good. Jujitsu you%26#039;ll need to practice grappling which doesn%26#039;t take a short time! TKD you need to develop flexibility in your legs and learn kicks and it takes a while before you ready! TKD your advantage is you could be a good outside fighter! Jujitsu you could be a good inside fighter! Remember both Styles are just as effective! It%26#039;s a 50/50 % Chance of walking into the strikers range and getting KO! It all depends how you train in them! Look at Bruce Lee He only weighed like around 120 pounds!|||this is like comparing a m-16 machine gun to a pair of nunhchucks. if you want to get a good work out take tkd , or tae bo with billy banks. but if you want to learn how to win streetfights , and shatter bones and joints , take bjj.|||tkd is somewhat good for striking but more for its kicks and high energy fighters. no grappling nor locks all strikes
aki/jujitsu is all grapples and locks with no strikes.|||I am a Black Belt in TKD and I have competed in many tournaments. I can tell you that TKD is an almost useless MA when it comes to a real fight. I am a student in BJJ and Muay Thai now and I%26#039;ll tell you that a white belt in BJJ will beat a black belt in TKD 9 out of 10 times in a real fight situation. If you are looking for an effective self defense system, go with jiu jitsu.|||TKD will teach you striking, emphasizing on the kicks.
Jiu jitsu will teach your grappling, emphasizing on the ground work. (I%26#039;d assume is brazilian jujitsu), if not it will teach you standing and ground grappling equally, similar to judo
Choosing would depend on what you like the most, my suggestion is to try one class of each.
good luck!|||In the broadest sense, Jiu-Jitsu involves grappling, throws, sweeps, joint manipulation, locks and bars. It is in close, sweaty, and an excellent discipline to learn. TaeKwon-Do invovles kicking, striking, blocking, fluid movement on your feet wherever possible. It is a distance, sweaty, and excellent discipline to learn.
Don%26#039;t really worry so much about the discpline, all will teach you something worth learning. If these are the only two schools in your area, go to them. Talk with the instructors and students. Observe a few classes at each school. Try our a couple of classes if they%26#039;ll let you to experience them for yourself. You%26#039;ll probably have a clear favourite if you do this, and that will make your decision much easier.
Good luck!

TKD schools can be found anywhere, so that comes with it%26#039;s benefits and problems.Jujitsu is also more effective fighting system, but if you practice TKD and train hard you will become a good martial artist no matter what.
