krav maga or jujitsu

[rob1980]

i allready do thai boxing but am looking to start another class soon i have done some ground fighting and grappleing. i am torn between krav maga and jujitsu the jujitsu is nice and local but i like the sound of the weapons traing and self defence in krav. any body got any expirience of the two let me hear your views thanks.

I have experience with the two. I think BJJ is a much more applicable art. If you want to work weapons I think Kali is a lot better than Krav. Hand to hand combat, Krav doesn't even compare to BJJ. The only thing Krav will work that the former two neglect is defending yourself against an attacker wielding a gun, but hey, if someone pulls a gun on me in the street I doubt I'd ever resist unless I thought he was going to shoot me without me being hostile.

Here's a vid of Kravs application in MMA.

I would choose BJJ. If you want to learn weapons and some ground work find a good Kali school where you can learn ground work Philipino style.
You have a good base with Muay Thai.

Muay Thai has weapons and ground fighting. Ask your instructor.
I do not know what negare JiuJitsu is.
Look into AikiJiuJitsu if you are unable to find a BJJ school.

Judo is usually pretty readily accessable

Definaely BJJ over KM . The first has Progressive training in the way that Humans actually learn , the second relies on "Pat" defenses for "Situations" , and this has proven to fall apart when the Heat Is On time and again . THe situation NEVER happens like you trained for it , so its FAR better to train to know the HUMAN BODY , and how to break it down scientifically .

That being said , Even though BJJ THOUROUGLY SCHOOLS KM , its not the est art for Self Defence , it shines really as more of a 1-1 Dueling system .
