BJJ is for faggots, Krav Maga is the way to go.

Krav Maga is for kikes

If your gonna train BJJ at least cross train with MMA, BJJ on its own isn't as effective as it once was. Their takedown game sucks and they ignore leg locks which is basically ignoring half the human body offensively and defensively.

You faggot, mma fighters gets some of their moves from Krav Maga.

Dim mak or bust.
 
BJJ is the TKD of grappling

I mean it's fine for what it is but I like judo's throws and if all you have is ground game you're gonna kicked in the head if you try it against more than one opponent.

It also lacks a striking comoponent. Muay Thai or boxing is usually the go-to but being a masochistic half-weeb I like kyokushin.

I've just signed up for BJJ, I'm slightly overweight but run 10k a day and can forward roll is there anything I should definitely know or be aware of? I'm a complete amateur

Hey mate so how did it go?

I typed a really long reply earlier in the week but it got eaten up.

In case you haven't gone yet, here are some first timer tips that goes for most first time martial arts trainings:

1. Take a shower before you go. Especially for BJJ, as you'll be spending a good time with your face on someone's chest/balls and vice versa.
2. Take it easy. If you've got talent, or are really good, people notice eventually anyways. Don't try to prove anything. Be wary of dojo's where they feel like they have to prove anything.
3. Judge. Don't just follow the lesson. Look around. See how they treat each other. Look at how the teacher treats his students and how they treat him. Look how they deal with each other. Is this a place you'll enjoy spending plenty of time? Do they seem like they know what they're doing? Most places have local alternatives. No need to commit to the first place where you train. There is a huge difference per location/teacher and that's also why most advice about styles is bullshit because any style can be practiced well and badly. (but krav maga is still kinda shit).

I couldn't imagine training anywhere where the time spent doing the actual activity is less than 30%. Any BJJ place that doesn't spend at least 30% in freeform sparring (typically called "rolling" with each other in bjj) is a waste of my time. But that also depends on how you learn. Try to find a place that kinda matches the amount of instruction you want and the amount of practice.

Know also that they will probably take things easy on you so don't get a big head if you win a couple.

I’m reviving this thread cuz apparently there are very few ppl who care about BJJ on this site :( what’s your belt bro? I’ve done it for a year now (white belt), and I am def stronger/ better conditioned and I know how to fight better. I’ve always known how to fight due to my job, but with bjj it’s a huge difference. I do kindof agree with what some other guys say that you should train striking of some kind or mma in general. If you do too much bjj, unless you’re brown or black belt level you’ll probably get punched in the face before you can submit someone lol. Anyways are there any new bjj users on the forum? Would highly recommend for fitness or someone learning to fight.
 
Oh boy, another BJJ thread! Good BJJ is great for self defense provided you're learning and drilling a complete system of takedowns in the gi and without it, and your focus is primarily on strong top pressure. Sport BJJ (guard and leglock heavy approaches) aren't as efficient but would still absolutely destroy the average Joe on the street. You should absolutely learn some striking as a supplement if you're dead serious on self-defense, but you'd be surprised about how little threat strikes can be if you're good at closing distance and tying up with your aggressor.

I use BJJ frequently for my job, as it involves managing strikes and restraining emotionally compromised individuals until they can calm down.

I have do that shit at my job too bro, it’s def helped a lot. Since I’ve started I keep having to inform my coaches that I’m mostly interested in learning to attack from the top, since they want to teach me how to be a pure bjj guy. It’s just not very beneficial be in the bottom position where violent nut jobs can throw strikes down at you. My takedowns are pretty good now

It sounds counterintuitive, but an airtight guard is still valuable even outside of the gym. Closed, K and X guards all keep you safe(ish) from strikes by getting your head off line with your aggressor and allow you to stand up directly into a takedown or sweep. Don't neglect your bottom positions too much, sometimes you don't get to choose where the altercation starts.
