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.

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.

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.

Correct decision. It improved my life tremendously. Once you got hooked in, you just want to keep showing up and learning new things.

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.
