Bjj Martial Arts
What Martial art mixes well with BJJ for self defense?
I want to learn a more self defense oriented martial art that would mesh well with my BJJ training. When I say self defense I mean mostly weapon oriented, like knife and gun disarms. I like Krav Maga, but I want to know if there is a better option that could go with BJJ. Any ideas about what you think would be a practical choice to learn. Thanks.
I like clowns approach. Any police training varies from academy to academy because of who’s teaching, plus from any other seminar and follow up training they go to, but the largest excepted martial art in the police force is typically Aikido and Judo or a Jujutsu style. Officers have to learn far more than just apprehension and self defense. They also have to know gun safety and marksmanship was well as car training, too. Then they also have to learn and memorize all the paperwork, justices and laws and all that other bureaucratic stuff. All that while maintaining a certain fitness level. Point in short: policemen are not martial artists. Though the individual could be, as a group they aren’t.
BJJ is pretty well balanced in application variations. Whenever I’ve seen what I have of BJJ I can see subtle Hapkido-ish movement in the take downs and holds. Of course BJJ came from Judo, but that doesn’t mean they mimic each other. A lot depends on the instructor and what all they incorporate.
Every traditional martial art I’ve seen includes take downs and submissions to some degree. BJJ is more sport orientated so training only ends at a submission without any further application than that. I think just about any traditional martial art can prove beneficial.
Generally knife and gun disarming techniques aren’t taught until more advanced levels just because of the potential danger. Get some stupid kid who finds a real gun and have his buddy try and pretend to shoot him so he can steal it form him… there’s no end to such idiocy.
In Hapkido, I didn’t start learning weapon disarming until I was a black belt. We had done some knife disarms before that but not guns. The first thing my instructor said about gun disarms is “you better be damn sure you know what you’re doing. Screw up and the guy just lost any sympathy he would of had for your butt. Unless you practically know he’s gonna pull that trigger, it better to just cooperate.”
