Ive never studied krav maga but im a brown belt in bjj. I would recommend going with bjj. You can learn alot in a short period of time if you have a good teacher. My style of bjj incorporates judo and kick boxing so I guess its not strict bjj but bjj is the most handy art to know when fighting one on one. I havent got to use my skills on the streets yet, nobody fvks with me because of my size but I wish I knew it when I was in highschool. lol Alot of bullies would be walking around with a limp to this day via inside heel hook. lol

spounds like the plan, its all face to face encounters in this line and due to strict laws and cameras over our shoulders we cant hit first so we have to be quick and take down fast and hold the pricks, we cant pre-empt strikes, they have to move first

If thats the case than bjj is definatly your best bet. There are so many different holds its amazing. If someone grabs you from behind, with their arms wrapped around you, I like to go for the komora, take my right hand and grab their left wrist then bring my left hand under ther left arm grabbing my right forearm. Its the same move that Sacarama did to Renzo gracie in pride that bent Gracies arm backward at the elbow. Was disturbing but very effective.

I would never ever recommend BJJ for self defense. I teach Krav, Kick Boxing, Hapkido, BJJ and MMA.

If you can only choose one, choose Krav. If you can, train in all of them. Depending on the setting you do not want to grapple with someone on the ground. In most bar settings whoever you are fighting has friends.

With all of that said, I am not a KRAV LOVER. I think you should be well versed in kickboxing, BJJ and Krav.

yeah, but i work outside on the door, so i have some space around me and im pretty handy with my kicks and headlocks. its more for disabling attacks quickly and efficently than self defense, in a street self defense situation i'd just knock em into the middle of next week lol

The main concept behind Krav is to defend and attack at the same time. Once you start your attack it is very quick and violent.

I was a police officer for 16 years. I am also a Police Defensive Tactics Instructor. So, let's approach your situation with that in mind. Since you work the door you are in an enforcement position.

The idea is to get the attacker on the ground while you are still standing. You can use a variety of locks and holds once they are on the ground. That is why I like Hapkido. The challenge with Hapkido is the time it takes you to get good. Judo is also good. BJJ is great no question about that. But, I would only use it if someone took me down.

by the stage of having them down id have back up from other security, its more blocking and disabling i'd like to brush up on. i knew a ju jitsu teacher way back, very small guy, but he could grab my thumb and wrist in such a manner tht i'd be on my ass in a second screamin for mercy lol
