I'm just getting into MMA, and learning jiu jitsui (and some wrestling). In a street fight prob be a coin flip.
I do jiujitsu, I don't get in to street fights.
I have trained mostly in bjj, though I trained second most in wrestling. I began developing stand up skills (mostly muay thai) a few months back as well as boxing. My ground game is far superior to my stand up but I think if I put more time into it I can be even all around. I also was in tkd when I was younger but I really don't count that (didnt really retain much of the skills I learned).
As for a street fight, I don't go looking for them, but I live in texas and people like to fight for any reason here once they are a little drunk so I have been in a couple of fights. How did I fair? Pretty well though I never tried to destroy anyone just sort of subdue them. The last "fight" I was in wasnt really much of a fight. A friend of mine got way too drunk to the point where he didnt recognize any of his friends and started beating on another one of our buds. Pretty much all the happened is he fucked up our friends ankle (not with bjj or anything just kind of rolled it while they were scrapping) and I just took him down, crossed faced him until he chilled out and that was that.
I'll never have to "fight" an angry guy. My black belt in verbal judo and black belt in altercation diffusion are tried and true. I'm the 1st guy to say "I'm sorry", if I step on someone's shoe at a club/bar/picnic on accident. The only time I'll need to get violent outside of training is in a self-defense situation where someone is trying to rob me or kill a loved one or myself. Unfortunately in either of those scenarios, the attacker won't strike unless there's a perceived advantage ie weapon/more people than you/size disparty/isolation from help etc. Sure any of us here can arm bar, triangle, jab, leg kick, elbow etc, but how good are we at doing that if we've already been stabbed, shot, hit in the head with a blackjack? You really can't judge that unless you've been in that specific type of combat. Hopefully, none of us here ever have to face an actual life/death situation.Quote:

Also, Kiko has a great point. Avoid these situations as best u can. Although i lack the self control sometimes, like when some bigot mocks me in public and then tells me to go back to pakistan. I'M NOT FROM PAKISTAN! I'm a proud Anishnaabe and next time u pull the racist card, I won't walk away this time!!!!!
... Sorry :P
Just do Jiu-jitsu now but used to do Boxing years ago.
Never been in a street fight. Only been in scraps at school which I did well only because the people I fought couldn't fight for shit. Not because I was tough or anything (believe me I wasn't). I would much rather be a called a coward then get into any form of street fight. Like Kiko I'm the type who is always the first to apologise. Only in self-defence when my safety or that of someone else is at stake would I actually fight. Fortunetly that situation has never come up in life.
Where are you from?
Just jits, did have one fight though.
With my feet shoulder width apart, my left hand gently cupping my junk, and my right arm extended along with my mid phalange, and my eyes are looking deep into their soul while blowing kisses. This has diffused the situation 0.779% of the time and I swear by it.
i train Muay Thai, Krav Maga & BJJ. not much wrestling in ireland, plus i have no free time.
Muay thai and BJJ are sports. with either you'll destroy an opponent 1 on 1 but you'll be fucked if attacked by a group. (as most fights happen, at least here anyway.) Krav Maga is the way to go for defending yourself, but it won't make you much better at MMA.
As far as a street fight, I carry my smart phone with me so I would just show them my fight and some jits matches.
lol i got an evo so thx for the tip ill try that next time
Damn Mike, you've taken self-defense to another level. You let your phone do the fighting for you.Quote:
