Gracie Jiu jitsu or Brazilian jiu jitsu? The Gracie Humaita or the Gracie Barra? And which one is better?

This^^

First rule of a street fight: Never go to the ground unless there are no people around or mostly just your friends around. I've only seen someone try a triangle and arm bar in a street fight. Both instances resulted in the person applying the triangle/arm bar getting kicked and stomped in the head.

I was involved in 4 street fights/ bar fights in 2011 and not once did I ever fight someone who used any form of JJ on me. Almost all of them were kept standing. So, boxing would be your answer.

I've watched countless street/bar fights as well and they are almost always kept standing. Unless I am fighting for my life I would rather keep it standing anyways, funner for both parties and as an amateur boxer I usually have the advantage.

Ill take judo/bjj and leave your boxer/muay thai/kickboxer in pieces on the ground and its not a secret either. Any practitioner worth their salt will tell you the same thing, judo is deviating on the street.

That said, if you go to the dojo 3 to 4 times a week for three to five hrs a day and some dude off the street beats you up its not the fight discipline, its you.

Muay thai. Any BJJ is nearly useless in a streetfight. NHB means biting fish hooking small joint manipulation sharp objects multiple opponents all of which compromise BJJ skills.

I would advise you learn Muay Thai or boxing while being able to throw in some dirty tactics. I like muay Thai because of kicks elbows and knees.

This thread sounds kinda dumb, martial arts of any kind should only be used as self defence or as a sport...

Also, I would never, NEVER recommend you kicking in any way, shape or form during a streetfight... A kick makes you MUCH easier to put on your ass and pound out - so stick with boxing...

Thread moved BTW

Only stuff about UFC goes in the UFC section, thank you

Yeah unless you got a serious kick boxing kick then you probably shouldn't do it. It wont be fast or powerful enough to risk getting put on your head. And a slam on concrete isnt the same as getting slammed in the octagon.

If this is legit it won't end well. You think breaking the arm of somebody in a group that is bullying/picking on you will teach them a lesson. Take it from somebody who has been there it won't. They will just be more determined to teach YOU a lesson and since there is more of them they eventually will. This isn't the movies where one guy is gonna beat up all 5. This is real life and eventually they will overwhelm you.

Once upon a time a dude who got tired of bulling and decided to payback the bully dude, he then broke the guys nose with a stick, only to get stabbed 3 times with a knife a week later. He now is known as scarface and had to pay thousands in surgery, hes not a rich guy.

Conclusion? dont do it, you have more to lose than win.

true story.

Muah, i got the master plan for you.

First, you need to act cool. Let them jump you and beat you up. Get in their heads. Once they jump you, respond with "Am i in now???" . Then once you get in its time for the second step.

Second, start off slow you know, get ur hands on some cheap rock and double the price on it and sell it to some of the fiend eigth graders at your school. Soon they will be hooked. This will get your rep up. Start gettin in good with the gangbangers bitch while still keepin your dope game up.

Third, Get a gun. Once u get the gun, u need to fake a incident. Call them. Tell them these guys on the street are sayin they are gonna kill you and blah blah blah and dramatically hang up. The take your gun, shoot yourself, and go to them. By now, they should be wanting revenge for you sake. So, u tell em it was another group of sleezy eigth graders who you didnt like either. Then, while they're gone its time for the last step.

Last, now... everything should be in motion. There bout to go kill some innocent kids and ur bout to steal their bitches! But dont get happy yet. Play it cooo. Remember, over everything, always play it cool.





Go get em bad boy.

I bet many get into Martial arts to revenge something or simple get rid of the bullies, BUT once there they learn the TRUE ways of life, its too late for anything else, they're hooked already :)

The only problem is when u get to know a bad teacher, so many 'pitbull gyms' out there :(

Im a sophmore but theres a junior and senior in his crew the senior thinks hes badass cuz hes black and sags and got a bunch of shitty tattoos no racism btw. The junior is some fatass mexican with a big ass belly wearing baseball caps when he doesnt even watch it. None of my friends are down to back me up atleast if it's not one on one. But yea their crew is called nWo bunch of ****

Do like Drillbit Taylor and hire a bum to be your bodyguard. Or just by a pistol and tuck it in your pants and when they roll up on you, lift up your shirt and ask "what's the problem?".

They teach us to kick in self defense class all the time so idk where some peeps get there training. Most of the kicks are to the groin but we have a few that are leg kicks, start in a right lead, hands upwaving like you don't want a issue, spike the eyes, kick the groin with the left leg stepping down not back right x, left hook,right bolo Bobbing and weaving back, left jab, right leg kick, back step left leg kick, right kick to the groin, rinse and repeat.

This is called boxer threat and it works we've had several ppl use this effectively. One dude came in learned it his first night at the dojo and had to use it the next day.

I just watched Bas Ruttens 'Lethal Street Fighting Techniques' a few weeks back. He shows some awesome techniques for getting out of headlocks and chokes ect.

Its well worth watching, if just for the comedy factor that only Bas can provide :)

Also, Judo would be good thing to know. Most street fights I see the fight always seems to end up in some kind of standing grapple, one guy trying to get a headlock on and the other trying trip the other guy.

fighting ppl on the steet i'd say muay thai. but the standing guillotine is pretty good for one on one fights where a guy charges you head down, if you have it locked in well you can drop to guard and choke him out. but this works one on one only. best bet? avoid fighting!!!! these days guys come back to stab and shoot

Judo or any grappling sucks for multiple opponents, you start to grapple with one guy and the rest will beat the living crap out of you, but while striking you can keep distance and pick your shots at all of them if you're good. For that reason alone, MT is way better than Judo or grappling for the streets.

Not to mention Judo hasn't translated as well to MMA so it's hard to know it's effectiveness for sure. Part of that may be because of lack of a gi or clothes for leverage, but even so it's hard to know it's true effectiveness without as significant a presence in MMA, but we've all seen time and again in MMA how brutal a good Muay Thai fighter can be.

So while judo may not be worthless, Muay Thai is superior for the streets.
