For self defense, which would be better, Brazilian Jujitsu or Krav Maga?
Keeping in mind that here in Tulsa I only have one Krav school to choose from, but many BJJ schools to choose from. If you have another suggestion, let me know.
Check out both schools.
Honestly for true self defense it is more about mind set and training principles then styles.
If the Krav Maga place in Tulsa does solid realistic sparring, and the instructor has an impressive background, then go for it.
Same goes with BJJ.
Honestly, as far as Self Defense I think you can find a school in either style that will give you all that you need. There is plenty of BJJ schools training more for self defense than Sports.
Self defense is really more about having a good head on your shoulders and keeping your cool then any particular Martial Arts technique.
I think both arts have an enormous amount of wealth of information to them.
BJJ: Strengths: Obviously great at close quarters, takes people out of their element, teaches you true functional applicable techniques in a short amount of time that work. In 6 months you can deal with the majority of unarmed, untrained punks.
Weaknesses: Not a ton of schools, usually expensive, hard to find schools with solely self defense in mind, as opposed towards being geared for MMA, or BJJ competetions. Striking and striking defenses are limited depending on school, there is a lot of variance from one school to the next in closing the distance, using and defending strikes.
Krav Maga:
Strengths: Teaches you solid intuitive techniques. There is no complicate forms or patterns or techniques to learn. They have some of the most practical weapons disarms out there. A good Krav School will truly put you under pressure and let you see the realities of armed and multiple attacker scenarios and can teach you to survive.
Cons: General weakness towards real techniques. Krav is awesome if you have a background in something solid already. They don't spend a lot of time refining punch mechanics, or teaching you to hit or kick harder. A lot of it is meant to go off of reaction, to essentially overwhelm a would be attacker using the element of surprise. In a straight up fight, it wouldn't suit you well. Krav Maga isn't for sport, challenge matches, or for taking on skilled fighters. Also it is incredibly hard to find a really good schools. Many of the schools are nothing more than cardio kickboxing with eye gouges. If the school doesn't spar, they are teaching a watered down form of Krav. For disarms, and resistance drills, people should be padded up and going full force. Guy with fake knife is really trying to stab you, not perform a slow, pre arranged stab for you to defend and go through a combination against.
Just my take on it, I have done (and do) both.
