| I am also coming into this late, apologies.
I am a practitioner of Ju-Jutsu, I have worked as a doorman in a club where there were no communication between the doorstaff. (I mean ear-pieces) so you were basically on your own. I have had to deal with a number of situations where, mostly, people were inebriated to some degree.
I have never need to use the nasty bits as the control and restraint element of JJ was more than enough. This has been the case even against guys a lot bigger than me. Saying that, the nasty bits were there and would have been used should I have needed them. I am proud of the fact that I never even threw a punch in my time on the door.
I am also lucky that in my class we train against both compliant and extremely resisting opponents. Yes, to the point of being shattered and winning with whatever technique you could pull off.
I have nothing against Judo what-so-ever, I think its a fantastic style and understand why people would choose it as a style. In certain situations it would be the better style, but in others I would prefer the JJ as it leaves me something in reserve. |
