Ah. No, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not what I practiced; mine was more self-defense oriented. Not that BJJ is bad; just different.

Brazilian jujitsu involves more grappling and throws and lock ups than traditional jujitsu. Because most BJJ happens when you "go to ground" rather than more traditional jujitsu which promotes striking, joint locks and things like that.

BJJ is good for one on one controlled fights which is why it did so well in the UFC.
one opponent with no buddies, clean ring with no sharp and protruding objects. IMO it's necessary to know BJJ because there are chances to use it effectively but to use it exclusively is rather stupid.

I should respecify, BJJ is practical for some situations but in a street fight it is bloody useless if there is more than one attacker.

Shmoopie - BJJ? You know something about me you're not letting on? It's worthwhile studying. Grappling on the ground and knowing how to extricate oneself from it is worthwhile. How to give as well as counter throws is especially important against single and multiple opponents. One may want to make sure if opponents go down they stay down while at the same time knowing counters to not having it done to oneself. |

I find martial arts a way to hone ones mind and body. I did Kempo Kung Fu for 5 years (started in Grade 2), and have been out of it for 3 years, but I am rejoining and probably joining the weapons class as well. At first I wanted to learn Kung Fu as a way to fight, because at my school, it was based on the system of "If your tougher, your cooler" with my peers. But after I really started learning, I learned discipline and respect for others, and tried to stop fights between fellow class mates, or kids from younger grades. If it were not for Kung Fu, I would never be the person I am today.

I always trained to be the most nimble and fastest runner possible. It was the ultimate "art". The individuals that practice Parkour take it to the next level.

I practice martial arts. I started for health... it was my rehab from a major injury. I also thought it cool to learn the self defense. Because I was so badly injured, I was vulnerable. Since then I have also found that it is good for emotional, and mental balance. Since it was may step-dad who taught me I reckon family root also applies.
As far as he thug life question... If a thug were to properly learn, it might be a reformation in his attitude. In the class i learned in, bad attitude was term for dismissal. Athug would have to change to learn. Or while undergoing attitude testing (by teachers version of a psych eval) he would be deferred from taking the training. I have carried this principle in my class that I now teach. Ethics is everything, or training is nothing. Violations of our ethics policy is grounds for immediate dismissal. I recently dismissed a youngster from any further traing because of lying on another student regarding an event outside of the class. (the lie was confirmed to be a lie, as I was present during the event,and the student forgot that).
