Jujitsu fever?

Well I know that the world is going Jujitsu crazy, because of cage fighting becoming so popular. Hey why not? Jujitsu is one of the few fighting styles that is most effective on the ground and doesn't revolve around strength. How does it work?, you may be wondering. (Leverage) One of the most simple tools man has ever came up with. The effect however is devastating. The power behind the fighting style breaks bones, tears joints, and enables you to get out of the worst position in the world when your in a fight (On the ground). Jujitsu focuses mostly on grappling, but does choreograph sweeps, and strikes into the mix.

If your are an advanced fighter in this style you can knock someone out by choking them in as little as three seconds. You can kill them in eight. Also an advanced fighter in this style can break your limbs (from any position they are in one the ground). However the down side to this hardcore fighting style is that it is impossible to fight more then one person at a time. It also lacks the proper stand up strikes to be efficient against an advanced Boxer. I know what your thinking, (I would just take that guy to the ground). Wrong! In fact without the ability to get close to that person Jujitsu is completely useless.

The point is, if the guy your fighting has hand speed your not going to be able to start grappling. That means your getting hit why your fighting and really don't have a lot choices to choose from, other then trying a take down. Now an advanced fighter in Jujitsu may get the take down, but not before that Boxer gave him one serious blow to the skull. The fact remains also that in a real fight that guy will rake you in the eyes and hit you in the groin if given half the chance. You guys out there that thinks that makes him a wimp, well I hope you never have to fight for your lives because you are going to die very quick and very painful.If your fighting on the street in a one on one fight. You probably will mess up a guy in thirty seconds flat. However if that guy has a stick, your in for a rude awakening of the bone cracking kind!

The worst part about this fighting style is the fact that you have to tangle your body up while fighting and opponent, so if he has friends they are just gonna stomp you in the back of the skull. In truth the worst place to be in a real fight is on the ground, because no matter if your a pro or not. Some ones foot coming down on your face is going to hurt you bad enough that you won't continue fighting. However the best part about this fighting style is its fatal time to do things. If you quickly broke one opponents arm and got to your feet you could fight the next. The only thing is in a real life or death situation everyone will rush you at the same time.

I'd say over all Jujitsu is and eight out of ten because of its lack of long range defence and ability to only fight one man at I time. Sorry, but the thought of getting stomped to death in a real fight just doesn't sound fun. However this fighting style is a must for people who want to quickly be done with an opponent on the ground. It also is a very good way to get more flexible, when learning some of the more challenging grappling techniques. I know alot of you out there are thinking, what about the flying arm bar? Well its a cool looking move, but completely unthinkable in life or death situation.
