I was wondering y'alls opinion on Kindai Ryu Jiu-jitsu? It's the only style Jiu-jitsu I can find in my area. I've looked for Gracie, but the closest is over 40min. away. If that isn't a good discipline, what are some others I should consider looking at? Thanks!

Naw, I prefer 9mm or 556...... sometimes even 308. Keeps my hands from getting sweaty or bloody.

Highly recommended.

any combatives are better than none. The form also has useful techniques.

What about a style called Budo? I've never heard of it, but I found that style being taught near me as well.

Jiu-jitsu like many what we're martial has become a sport so no longer practical for self defense.

If you want real self defence training find a Russian Systema, ROSS, STRELA or IZVOR school.

If you go to russianmartialart.com they have a section where you can put in your location to find an istructor or training partner near you.

Some of the top instructors are Vladimir Vasiliev, Martin Wheeler, Kwan Lee, Mikhail Ryabko, Kevin Secours all have videos on you tube you can check out.

Just be aware that in Systema there are no uniforms, belts or katas, no stances or scary faces to make. It looks simple but has gr eat depth. Andrey Karimov is another instructor you can check out he is another branch of Systema.

Yeah definitely should do you some good.

Ju Jitsu is a good style of self-defense, just like Karate is, and once you have a good style to train in, the rest is up to you. What is your thinking here, are you willing to kill if needed?
Are you training to break bones with a stick? Things like that.
Because when you come down to it, you may need to do that in a fight. If don't plan that into your training, you can come up short, because your enemy may have planned it into his.

The founder of the discipline trained UDT at the request of the US government if that is any help. That is a no nonsense group of men to train.

PS: I have seen American Combatives taught to SF, which is another no-nonsense group.
Me personally, I would go with Ju Jitsu.

Nahhhh!

Forget all this Ka-Yiiiii! Ka-Yaaaa! Crap!

In SpecOps, we learned a much better defense system.... Ka-Knife in the Throat! Ka-Belt in the Face! Ka-Gun in the Head!

(Actually, I practiced Aikido in my youth, but I'm ranked, used to compete in Kendo/Kenjutsu. Prefer a sword in hand if bullets aren't available!)

Many here in NE Texas are simply trained in Ju Jap Slap Ya Ass or Ka Kick Ya Ass. However, most are devout followers of Sha Shoot Ya Dumbass.

My self defense is self taught with some additional instruction via the Marine Corps, Army MP School, and 21 years of off and on military training... My biggest advise I could offer... carry a pistol that you are familiar with

 

[Medic33]

what is the best -this is a question that can be never answered be it guns or hand to hand or bat-fu.
ask yourself this how much time are you willing to invest to learn?
someone posted today's MA is al about sport -not true this person fails with this answer.
ask the person running or teaching the school tell them why you are going explain HEY I don't want to learn competition stuff I need real world lessons that I can practice and apply so I can defend myself and kill if need be with my bare hands - if they say sorry don't teach that -tell them thank you and walk out that will.
any style or form o ma will teach you how to fight and win it is up to you how you apply it.

I prefer the Sam Colt school of self defense

Thanks for the info again. I just found a school not two miles from my house Definitely going to stop by. They are affiliated with Vasiliev/Ryabko. Systema seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. I carry everywhere allowed by law, but I want training on top of carrying my gun.
