I can't think of any other situation where I would have a shot gun pointed at me, so that vid is pretty much useless. It wouldn't work anyways. One of the advantages of guns is that you can use them from a distance

Shotguns can be fatal from a long way off. You don't have to put the barrel right on their fucking chest. My cousin was killed by a shotgun and he was at least 20 yards out

if you went to school you'd know france has nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers and all in all enough power to destroy a shitty country like iraq

Pretty bad post env. Shotguns are deadly regarless of what the shells are loaded with. Slugs, buck shot, etc. My friend and I we're victim of a drive by last new years eve and the distance from the street to our house was about 20 yards. The spread of the shotgun was less than 3 feet diameter with hundreds of holes

[FearMy Def]

watch asian kung foo movie helps

[Smush]

Lol at Env for saying shotguns can only be shot close distance. Trololol.

I can't think of any situation where a shotgun would be hold in point blank rage against me.

Even so training for that situation and attempting to disarm the guy would do more harm than good imo.

[Beastdefire]

Took an intro jiu-jitsu class today at a pretty legit academy.

Had 3 parts:

1) Take-downs (basically judo/wrestling)

2) Gaining dominant position

3) Submission

The instructor said that bjj is 10% takedown, 90% submission training. I can see how learning wrestling or judo first would help a lot.

[Kody]

Sorry to be like this but most of the kids posting on this topic really have no idea what the hell they are talking about Dennis. Get ahold of me on Irc.

Oh and acclaimed, for the record, Judo and Jiu Jitsu started in the same place, and was brought to its popularity by a man who was proficient at both. Both are passive, defensive forms of combat.

how'd you like taknig classes? i'm really interested in joining some form of school this summer

[Beastdefire]

The first few classes I've taken have been pretty good. I'm taking them at a Gracie Academy (the family who brought Jiu-jitsu to Brazil).

First, one of the head instructors spent about 30 minutes explaining the art of Jiu-jitsu. Then, I joined a beginner's class (about 15 people). We did some warmup exercises then got straight to learning Judo throws. After about 30 minutes of learning two throws (practice with partners, 2 black belt instructors walk around and critique), we went to another room and started actual bjj. We learned two moves in the full guard position (again, practice with partner, instructors critique). Finally, we ended with sparring and a cool-down.

From my few classes, the key takeaways are:

1) BJJ will take a LONG time to master. If you're looking to learn self-defense, some of the skills you can use immediately...but if you want to learn bjj for competitive sport, it will take a lot of time and dedication. Also, for the moves you learn to become, reflex, it will take a lot of time on the mats and practice.

2) BJJ classes are decent exercise but you're not really exerting yourself 100% (because you don't want to hurt your partner and you're just learning the moves). You'll sweat a lot and breathe hard at some points.

3) You don't have to be huge to be good at BJJ. It definitely helps, but technique is most important. Being strong will only make you better.

Hope this helps.

[Mucky]

are you learning BJJ for just self defense or are you going to go competitive? should do kickboxing aswell

[P4|Pink]

I myself do Wing Chun.

If you wan't something that is for show, do MMA. It wont help you. I did BJJ and Muay Thai for 2.5 years, didn't do nothing "technically" for me on the streets. With Wing Chun, you learn that Martial Arts is an art itself. And not "fighting".

So shit like, Judo, Aikido, Tae Kwan Do.. Don't waste your money. Something like Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun or even dirty boxing. Will keep you SAFEST on the street, and if anyone want's to argue with this. FUCKING dare you.

Wing Chun has got me out of some good scenario's without even throwing that punch.
