brazilian jiu jitsu vs

[Yarg!]

karate
taw kwan do
muay thai
kung fu

discuss, how well u think bjj would fare against those (all experienced practioners).

 

[Kane Fan]

hard to say
you picked 4 standup styles (tho some karate and kungfu varients have some groundwork) to matchup with a grappling style
then it's about takedowns vs takedown defence

 

[buffer1]

bjj kicks fucking ass

Id rather fight a black belt in any of those four (or experienced in muay thai), than a black belt in BJJ. If you know BJJ, you can always bring them to your world and mess them up (the ground). Where as, if youre any of these others(stand up), once your down, you have nothing and the BJJ can just keep taking u down. But of those 4, Id most rather not fight a muay thai guy, theyre tough as hell and strikes won't phase them.

now of course everybody in mma competitions are crosstrained so its not so much style verse style anymore. if u check out the early UFCs u could see that royce gracie(BJJ) took out much bigger stronger guys that were well trained in karate, wrestling, etc., and he wasnt even the best at bjj in his own family.

 

[JAV]

yea you're right Rickson was probably the best of the Gracie family!

 

[The Angry Mule]

If it was to stay on the feet I wouldnt want to to fight a thai boxer,those bastards are as tough as nails

BJJ is definately the best most effective martial art. Mix it with some Muay Thai and youre a certified badass. Karate and taekwondo are BULLSHIT. Kung Fu and wu shu are cool to watch in movies

 

[casualbb]

dude you might want to step off that BJJ pedestal. It's okay. it's not the panacea of martial arts

Fighting 1 on 1, BJJ is great.

Enter in to a fight with multiples (2+) and all your groundwork will get your ass stomped.

Bruce Lee confirmed what the UFC and the rest of the MMA competitive fighting has recently validated.

You have to be a well rounded fighter. Stand up boxing and kicks, wrestling takedowns/throws, ground and pound and finally submission moves.
