The age old argument, from an age old book...

It's interesting how in Europe during the Middle ages in Renaissance wrestling very similar to jiu jitsu was a Paramount importance later in history wrestling still was around but eventually boxing superseded wrestling as the primary self-defense method most people learned. Then when jujitsu begins to spread throughout the world and Europeans begin to experience it it seems very alien in many ways to them although it was very similar to the Medieval & Renaissance wrestling that it existed in Europe long before.
Just interesting how trends in combat arts can sometimes cause gaps in knowledge like that

Fair enough, we can’t all be Jack Dempsey\Bob Fitzimmons\ Mike Tyson types.


Doesn’t mean we are gonna stop trying tho.

A bouncer college of mine decided to learn BJJ to help him deal with attacking customers. It worked amazingly well.. so long as the rest of the team stopped his victims friends from kicking the BJJ guys skull in.

The thing is, even athletes aren't fit forever. Jiu Jitsu is a system not based on physical attributes but on balance and gravity. It's the only system that will work the same for a young person as it would for the old.

Show me a guy well trained in Jiu-jitsu and give him a one two combo and I'll show you a guy who can EASILY beat 95% of untrained people.

If we're talking about self-defense, 1v1 jiu-jitsu is more useful. But you dont want to get on the ground when there 5 people against you, so boxing is more useful in that manner

[VictorRamirez-utlk]

I disagree about the boxer. In boxing you are taught how to bob and weave and you are trained to come out of corners and tight situations. Jiu jitsu is good for 1v1 boxing is good for multiple opponents at once due to the footwork and the stradegies used.

muay thai, stick fighting and wrestling

It’s not the style it’s the man and the fight in the man. Styles will give someone a strong advantage but the man who is willing to go to hell is a very dangerous man

[Japanese_one_Tokyo]

Boxing is so dangerous, that even with 16 oz gloves on your hands and headgaurds you can still get knocked out hard.

JJJ guys would prob get knocked out before he could do any of that lock stuff

Old jiu-jitsu>>>sport jiu-jitsu

[akeemcampbell]

The jui jitsui guy doesn’t have to be “bigger and stronger” than the boxer. Even if he’s small he’ll beat the boxer. That’s why this art is so effective. The only way for the boxer to win is if he gets a quick knockout. Other than that, 9/10 times a jiu jitsu guy will be a boxing guy.

One punch to the face and ju jutsus down the drain

[LincolnFigueroa-ry]

Boxing is the best martial arts and bare nucker fight is way better than mma Street Boxing is better

Jiu Jitsu won't help with multiple attackers. so do both
