so far.
Allthough i am not a 50 year old who has studied 30years of martial arts i think i gained some knowledge in all of the styles and have sparred with enough people from those styles (both with white and brown/black belts) to be ablte to review them a bit for beginners.
Jiu-Jitsu (Japanese Self defence)
Intension:
traditional japanese Jiu Jitsu is a self defence System heavily relying on stand up lock techniques and throws.
It is designed to defend yourself in the streets vs 1 attacker (armed or unarmed) by using wrist,body,arm,Joints and shoulder locks from a standing position while also adding some throws to escape clinch situations to your arsnel. Kicks and punches to vital Points ( testicles,throat, Eyes) are also part of Jiu Jitsu allthough the skillz for proper powerfull striking and kicking are not really thaught too well in traditional Jiu Jitsu
Training methods are very traditional and often u train the movements and tequniques into air or with a 100% cooperating partner.
In general u are supposed to learn to react properly using a defensive move against an attacking opponent.
he acts offensive while u react to defend.
My Conclusion
traditional japanese Jiu Jitsu is looking great in theorey but rarely ever works in reality.
The trainig methods are just not realistic enough to simulate a real situation.
Not often will someone who has trained japanese Jiu Jitsu for 10 years get heavily beaten up in a streetfight by a Boxer who only trained for 2 years.
However if u are a really athletic person who trains hard on his jap. Jiu Jitsu showing great dedication u might be ablte to defend yourself vs most drunken idiots and wanna be brawlers pretty good while not taking any damage yoruself.
Some of the techniques tought are really good to defend yourself vs. people of same size and strength in a RL street situation. + U Also learn some stuff to defend yourself on teh ground. Allthough the Ground fighting part is very very limitied
it can still make the difference and save ure ass in a real self defence situation.
Ju_Jutsu
Ju Jutsu is a modern sports martial arts especially popular in central Europe. Intension
Learn realistic fighting without risking your health.
modern Ju_Jutsu is like MMA for pussies
It has all the elements of Stand up and ground fighting but with a lot more rules to protect the fighters
-No full contact hits to the head ( neither punches nor kicks to the head are allowed to do any visuable damage to your opponent)
-No punches or knees on the ground except for non contact point fighting punches to the head for points are allowed.
- Shin protection is mandatory ( which basically makes low kicks almost pointless
- No ellbows or knees to the head
here is a Video or modern Ju_Jutsu competition in Germany in which a friend of mine participated
Ju Jutsu also has a Self Defence programm within their martial arts.
Training methods vary a lot from Trainer to Trainer and there are also many bad Dojos that claim to do JU-Jutsu but actually are far away from being a modern light contact MMA style
Conclusion :
Its fun
U learn a lot of things that are helpfull for real fights but on the same time u must be aware that there is still a difference
in what u do and what real fights are. Game becomes a little different when its allowed to hit as hard as u can ^^
Still this can be a very good style for both self defence and having fun
Reviews of the other martial arts will follow in future blogposts
