How effective is brazilian jujitsu on the street?

No one would get on the floor and start putting the attacker in holds.At the most wouldn%26#039;t it be more effective to just throw the attacker to the floor and leave.|||ANYTHING is %26quot;effective%26quot; against some douchbag in the street who isn%26#039;t versed in any discipline, which would be 99% of the population.


According to official police stats, 82% of street fights end up on the ground.


Take a guy to the ground and he%26#039;s like a fish out of water against a BJJ practitioner, thats the beauty of BJJ, it doesn%26#039;t matter how big or strong your opponent is he%26#039;s in your territory now....





%26quot;No one would get on the floor and start putting the attacker in holds.%26quot;


I beg to differ, I train at a BJJ gym, the best in the UK granted I%26#039;m only a white belt but I know of several doormen who have used BJJ in a confrontation with huge success, it doesn%26#039;t leave marks and is great for restraining rather than seriously injuring someone.





Infact Id even go as far as saying its more %26quot;effective%26quot; in the street than it is in a cage.


all Cage fighters know atleast some defensive BJJ, basic knowledge coupled with superior strength can be challenging for someone with great skills but with weaker conditioning, the average mugger or drunken lout knows none.





No tap, just snap......|||You%26#039;ve pretty much got it. Or at least, they shouldn%26#039;t.





Yes, it can be effective in those situations where it%26#039;s one-on-one. Tying up on the ground is inherently dangerous, and should not be done unless:





1.) You%26#039;re capable of removing the person from the fight (by breaking bones, knocking them out, etc.)





2.) The situation calls for it (i.e. Such force is warranted).





3.) You can return to your feet quickly, or handle a new threat from a grounded or kneeling position.





In this last case, the majority of the BJJ guys who come to our class lose their cool and resort to using excessive amounts of strength and energy in the case of the second attacker, which indicates a lack of training.





There is always the potential for a second or third or tenth opponent. People who are of the mind that just because it%26#039;s rare that they experience multiple opponents they shouldn%26#039;t train for it miss the point of martial arts. It%26#039;s rare in the scheme of things that you need to fight at all, but, like groundhogs dodging shadows, we train for the one time in a million that it may be necessary.





As to it being more effective to just throw the attacker and leave, yes. However, many people tie up their pride in fighting, and think only about dominating the person who made them feel unsafe. Frankly, to be able to respond to a threat in which adrenaline is flowing, you must train, even if it%26#039;s to run. Many people simply freeze and are hurt. Further, they run straight ahead, not putting any impediment between them and their pursuer, so it becomes a contest of endurance and speed. Remaining safe is not a natural skill.|||BJJ is not really a form of defense, it is more of a sport.





But of course you get on the floor and start putting the guy in holds, hopefully choke to end the fight ASAP.





You have to learn how to strike, because you need to know how to defend yourself when you are trying to position yourself. After all they will be trying to punch you.





Like the posters above said, most street fights are over in a minute or less usually because the fighters are gassed out from thowing haymakers and stuff.|||Sorry tantu pupa I have to bust ur big bubble, Brazilian jiujitsu is very effective in a streetfight. BJJ gives you that fighter type cardio. And in my profession I%26#039;ve seen the benefits BJJ can give you. But fighting on the ground does hurt and it will leave you damaged. And from my experience as working in the prison system most fights do go to the ground, unless someone had a knife then they would just run. I%26#039;m a police officer and I currently take Brazilian jiujitsu. Alot of times when I have people resist or fight I apply bjj all of the time. I dont suggest to go for advance moves if you do get in a street fight. but I could go on and on, if you want more info email me if interested. but over all BJJ is very effective in a street fight, knee on chest, rear naked chokes,sidemount control, kimura to handcuffing, especially if the other person has no experience on what the hell your doing to them. But if you have mutiple attackers stay off the ground.|||It depends what you want to do.





Most street fights are over in seconds and are no more than a glorified wrestle.-you both normally end up on the floor.





If you are in close then jujopponent the winner.with very little effort you can easily put your opponent out of the game by dislocating an arm or two.|||It worked for me when this asshole kid tried to Jump me when I was taking the trash out at night. I into mount and Applied a armbar,theres more to the story but,Im too lazy to type it,the thing is,if you Havnt trained in ateast 3 Months of Standup,than it wont be as good. They Balance eachother well. BJJ is street effective yes.|||i don%26#039;t no much on the style or any other style to be honest but ill try help ok so i heard it is best on the ground so i guess you could fake being all scared let them take you down to the ground( by this time they may be thinking aaaa got this in the bag) but when you get to the ground kill them basically sorry if that was no help|||Most martial arts are sports. Street fighting can be for real.





A good, experienced, street fighter will be vicious, determined, real mean and want to HURT you. Against this a sportsman will have little chance.





|||That depends on how good you are at defending yourself. BJJ is good for 1 adversary and not too good at multiple attackers. For multiple attackers you need to look at other style and strategies|||it depends, if its a one on one situation, then its great but if you are in a group, I dont reccommend it!|||Not much. Maybe when your opponent takes you down.
