[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone with experience with jujitsu?  Would like to hear more.  [/quote]

I have a brown belt in judo and also studied jiu jitsu until my early twenties. I'm an Asian woman, 5ft 125 lbs. It helped tremendously with confidence. I could totally throw and choke someone bigger and taller than me. When I was abroad, I almost got raped but of course, all my training paid off. I put a chokehold on that stupid man's throat. He passed out. He was in jail when he woke up.

I also studied Muay Thai, however, striking is not as effective as grappling when you are in close contact with your attacker. I have yet to study Krav Maga as it adds an element of surprise and quick thinking, although that is what martial arts teaches you.

I only have sons and I teach them judo. They also get lessons on how to escape when they are duct taped or cable tied. For them it's fun. If I had girls, they would be badasses, too.[/quote]

I've taken Jiu-Jitsu for a couple of years (blue belt only) and as a 150 lb guy can take on a fit 200lb guy. [b] The ability to maneuver on the ground is key.[/b]

Krav Maga mixed with that would probably make for a pretty lethal 'dirty MMA'.

One thing for Jiu-Jitsu over Krav Maga is that you can actually practice your moves to near completion without tearing your partner's eyeballs out.[/quote]

Sigh. In a real world fight, [i]you do not want to be on the ground[/i]. That's the way to get real dead real fast.

Jiu-Jitsu is a great sport. Don't count on it saving your life.[/quote]
