/fit/ - Fitness, Health, and Feels

Also considering Kyoukushin if that means anything.

Judo, BJJ and Kyokushin are all respectable martial arts and your choice should depend of the teachers.

I have a small preference for judo, but it's personal.

You can't go wrong with judo. BJJ has a LOT (I did that for emphasis) of McDojo bullshit and pay per belt, however if you find a good teacher it's a good sport.

Kyokushinkai isn't a sport (I think) It's a fighting system and is in my view excellent if you want to be conditioned to become brave, resilient and effective.

A lot of stuff is illegal in BJJ that will help you in reality. It will keep you fit and you can compete, which might motivate you.

Protip: if your dojo is full of fatties or meatheads, leave.

Does anyone have experience with Kenpo? And if so can you share some info about it? Trying to decide if I wanna do it.

I went once. It was a gym full of blokes in green suits doing the same movement into the air and going OOOOOOSE!!! when they did it.

>A lot of stuff is illegal in BJJ that will help you in reality

What is illegal in BJJ anyway? I take Combat Sambo and the only things I can think of is hearing ankle locks and wrist locks are illegal in bjj. Those fucking hurt in sambo.

Thanks, I'll have to look more into this.

I've been really worried about ending up in a McDojo type of place. A friend of mine who did BJJ and I sparred.

I took him down with moderate ease.

Should I look into the master being from Asia?

>>85614

Nah. My Muay thai teacher is a Mexican dude so I doubt race has anything to do with it. Just see if they have a good record/lineage. Though my sambo teacher is Armenian and I think the BJJ guy is a HUEHUE.

just carry a roll of quarters and aim for the face

Judo is good for stand up if you want to use your opponents momentum against them and balance. BJJ is also very good for ground defense training. Basically ask yourself what do you want to train? Grappling standing or on the ground?

>>85614

No, look into the master not being an asshole. Have a look at bullshido. Yes, spelled like that.

That'll give you an idea of what to look out for. Bullshitters after your money, mainly. Also watch out for meat head bullies who will hurt you to show off. No one who is any good will ever do that.

My friend came to visit with his six year old daughter. We had a fight in the garden. He's a BJJ black belt now, but was good then too.

So he's good on the ground and he gets me down and it's not looking good for me.

'Look! Daddy's winning!'

Something had to be done. So I shoved my thumb up his arse and choked him out.

Daddy complained that 'oil checking' was illegal.

My house, my rules :D

By the way rage kraut - I know you're going to read this you ABSOLUTE MADMAN - you once called me a lying faggotte and I'm here to tell you that at some point I'll be coming to Bremen to do the fighting and that.

WELL YOU CAN CHECK MY FUCKING STATS THERE YOU SAUSAGE EATING SQUAREHEAD

I did a karate course at cummonitry college, the kicking stretched my ham strings and fixed my deadlift form, thanks karate

2 months into aikido here, I feel lost as fuck.

>>85614

>Should I look into the master being from Asia?

Nope, you should search for a good one.

There are very good judokas in almost every nation now, and bjj is expanding too.

>>85664

I got a groupon for aikido on sale and never used it because it looked too much like the bujinkan for me… I studied taijutsu for about 10 years and the last 5 was spent trying to tailor the art to some sort of use and functionality…

Koryu bujutsu is awesome (and so is gendai) but the problem comes up when you have a bunch of insecure assholes who correlate someone 'playing the part' of attacker (Uke) for them to destroy in a 'real' fight situation (Tori).

Ego goes unchecked, grows, and you also have the typical human bullshit of nepotism and bureaucracy associated with any sort of governing body of 'experts' that have never had their faces punched for more than 1 repetition.

If blood is not drawn regularly, if bones are not accidentally broken, if ego is not bruised, you are not developing a skill that can save your life.

The comments about BJJ i think are fair, although I still think bjj and conventional boxing are a far cry better than non combatitive traditional martial arts like aikido, taijutsu, some forms of kenpo, etc.

>>85661

The best training I have ever received was from American Open Karate-full contact kickboxing, grappling, and forms to keep the larper side of me happy as a pig in shit

>martial arts thread

systema master race reporting in also i dont normally post on fit so any questions about systema just ask

Judo>BJJ in general, but if you have a crazy good BJJ teacher near you and a mediocre Judoka, go with the BJJ.

BJJ, specifically Gracie Jujutsu, has the entire Judo syllabus in it technically. However, most schools spend 95-100% of their time on ground technique with little to no standing technique, let alone how to fall.

Judo is more like 80/20 standing/ground, and a massive portion of the art is on how to not get fucked up when someone chucks you face first into the ground.

Something like 90% of fights go to the ground, but (aside from sneaky shit) 100% start standing.

You should pick Plink Plonk because I'm into Plink Plonk and I like to Plink Plonk, and I think that you should Plink Plonk too. Plink Plonk is the best at Plink Plonk. If you train hard enough at Plink Plonk, you will acquire incredible skills at Plink Plonk, which comes packaged with a life philosophy that will make Plink Plonk a part of your day.

I hope that clear things up for you.

Totally agree. Never done kyjellybasrootin but done the other two. For street defense Judo all the way. Mind you that judo had very limited ground defense compared to BJJ. A man who knows Judo and boxing would be a formidable fighter.

I currently attend 10th Planet jiu-jitsu and its fun minus flexibility for rubber guard.

Why the hate for bjj being applicable for street defense? Why is it when we get into these discussions we think of ufc, strikeforce when concerning this. The overall majority that you have an altercation with does not know anything! So saying which is better is asinine.

We ask have watched the effectiveness of different material arts in a street environment and most would do well. Except wing chun lol or kung fu gorrilla style mixed with crane

I've taken aikido (karl geis aikido) and looking at this seems like the usual controlled *attacks* there. Now Segal randori with his students are amazing.

can i learn some martial arts with a friend and a sand bag for free with youtube tutorials?

>>86364

you can learn the basics like punching and maybe kicking

and you will probaböy hurt yourselves

>>86364

If I'm not mistaken that's how UFC fighter Evan Tanner got started. R.I.P.

>>86316

Good BJJ - not McDojo buy-a-belt, is very effective 1-1.

Mind you a bit more striking and weapons is what I like. And men. In pyjamas.

No homo

>>86364

No. Find a good teacher.

>>86364

Here's a little personal anecdote my white, Argentinian friend. I joined a muay thai gym a few months ago. I thought I was pretty decent as I had a pretty good strength base and flexibility. One day, my instructor brought in a friend of his. The friend was there to teach us proper striking. The way he hit that bag was incredibly humbling. It made a loud SMACK and moved so much every time he hit it. That was the day I realized I had a long way to go. Get a teacher.

>>86370

i don't expect more than that

>>86378

noice.

>>86403

i'm a poorfag, also, if you are good at martial arts in my country and fight an asshole, even if the asshole have a gun you can go to prision

i just want to learn the basics of some martial arts and improve them in a dojo some time later when i can afford one
