Why are bjjlets the most insufferable and insecure martial arts practitioners? You don't see Muay Thaifags, Boxers, and Wrestlers sniff their own farts as much as bjjfags do? Is it cause it's such an easy weekend warrior martial arts to do where you can have a lot of fat out of shap redditors get into it whereas it's not possible to have that for the other martial arts? redpill me Yas Forums

generally, yes, people who train bjj are dorks who join it simply because its the lowest impact combat sport out of any of the popular choices. add in the gracie ego into most gyms and there you have it, barely trained people thinking they're the best.

anecdotal, but my lanklet out of shape friend who watches ufc with me wants me to train bjj with him, while i want to train muay thai. yet he doesnt work out currently during the quarantine to prepare for training when gyms open up, is constantly worried about potential injuries from being in a combat sport, which is why he doesn't want to train muay thai with me. kinda pussy shit if you ask me, and im not even that tough, i just want to train and challenge myself in an amateur fight. you have to be ready to take the risk, seems like theres an inherent "safe" feeling in jiu jitsu compared to others.

It might just be a snowball effect. BJJ attracts the most autistic dweebish types, so the less autistic dweebs avoid it.

It also has a weird culture of physique not mattering as much as skill which is really, really dumb because 1) that's true for every martial art and 2) once you have two roughly equally skilled people, it suddenly becomes about physique again

Everyone in my bjj gym has like insta quotes about how boxers are lions on the feet but get taken down by bjjlets and are useless there. They're still into that whole gracie cult shit, which is weird cause how can you be if you watch mma now. Don't even get me started on the dorks who have the gym's logo tatted on their arms.

It is weird you see a lot of out of shape older fat dudes in bjj just sit on people.

a lot of gyms stem from gracie roots so its not surprising that they hold this mentality. id much prefer training at a 10th planet gym specifically to get away from that egotistical mindset if i was going to train bjj. always funny when bjj people say they can take down boxers and submit them, with what takedown abilities i wonder? ive never set foot in a gym to train and even i know that bjj has weak takedown game, just watch the kron v cub ufc fight recently to see that a pure bjj guy has no takedown skill.

As someone that does bjj most everyone has godawful takedowns and everyone always ends up going to their knees after gassing from wrestling. If they tried taking down an experienced strike they'd get lit the fuck up and kod most likely. Honestly the best path to victory I see for someone who only trains bjj and has zero striking and has garbo takedown would be to buttscoot and try to go for a leg lock or some shit there.

Any advice on how to survive a martial arts desert? I'm in Los Angeles and am literally surround by BJJ gyms and kung fu places. Am I fucked if I want to learn an actual martial art?

yeah all id do is blast them in the head with a knee if they tried a lazy takedown on me, seems pretty easy to time it up. john danaher has some pretty interesting prospects he trains that are succeeding in the ufc, notably ryan hall, but he pieces together his leg locks with a solid kicking game. gotta have something else to compliment your bjj skills if you want it to work in a real fight.

You're in a major city you definitely have some boxing or muay thai gyms near you. BJJ is aight too just don't be one of those fags that think it's all you need in a street fight or that you can immediately fuck up a boxer after one year of training.

There's lots of good boxing gyms in LA but you're gonna have to go to a poor Hispanic neighborhood to find them. That presents it's own challenges but you'll figure them out.

I dunno about anything else though.

isn’t LA unironically the best place to learn bjj? there’s a few really solid trainers there.

as a judo player I see every bjj fag always do they same takedown
>feign foot sweeps
>wait for you to step back
>tomoe nage
I’m not saying judo is the best for the streets but if you try that shit on a sidewalk youre gonna break your back

Look into it

Kek there's a judo guy in my gym and no one ever wants to do stand up with him. I'm the only one that does and I think he appreciates it cause he doesn't fucking murder me all the time, but yeah people in my gym do that or pull guard most of the time.

Gotta learn how to wrestle for your bjj to matter in a real fight. You can't imanari roll someone outdoors.

I only train boxing, but I'd consider learning grappling if i can fine a pure wrestling gym. BJJ just doesn't appeal to me, could just be in the inner contrarian talking.

I guess you got traumatized after learning of the gang bang me and the boys from the bjj gym did with your mother, grandmother and sisters, didn't you? Why else would you ask such nonsense?

yeah this, 10th planet HQ is literally in LA, and eddie bravo is no slouch. of course if you're looking for more striking stuff im sure there are plenty of muay thai/mma/boxing gyms in the LA area that are solid. just do some research, see if the people training there are legit, even better if they have some pro fighters who came out of it.

I'm also a boxerfag who wants to learn grappling, but unless you started wrestling in junior high it seems it's hopeless to pick it up. I'm an immigrant from Europe where wrestling pretty much doesn't exist so that was never an option for me.

There's a few MMA gyms near me who presumably teach decent grappling, but they're literally 5 times the price of my boxing gym, and the BJJ gym I went to was full of, and I say this in the most respectful way possible, creeps.

I think my only chance is to convince a few of my boxerbros to join me in the bjj gym so I don't have to interact with the oddballs there as much.

BJJ or just grappling is fun, but it is true that a lot of people that train it are redditors or soys who think they're badass because they do the least destructive martial art that isn't TMA nonsense.

I am not gonna spend money on the "Sopa De Macao's" martial arts. The gyms I've gone to see in LA are expensive with the clothing costing as much as a month's membership, and every gym seems to be full of soilets/women, with the occasional professional competitor and Brazilian manlet as its leader.

Plus the culture is just weird/off-putting to me. I don't know if its only in Cali but BJJ gyms here seem very cultish especially when they start talking about:
>how its the "superior martial art/its better than striking arts and other grappling arts like Judo/Wrestling"
>echo Gracie talking points about how fights always end up on the ground which is bullshit
>that the Gracies are basically gods
>Acai is supposed to be delicious and the Gracie diet works, etc.

This just reminds me of Akidio cultists but with extra steps and maybe a bit more usefulness in a fight.

are you a female? And I don't mean that in an insulting way but what do you mean by creeps? They're definitely like redditors and soys but do you mean like weirdos that grope the females in the class?

As a Judo guy who is also a BJJ purple, we are far nicer with takedowns then BJJ guys think.They think we try to murder people with takedowns but we only do that to each other because we have to. I uchi mata people all day in BJJ without trying, as a result when I hit the uchi mata it isn't that hard on them and I remain standing. When I hit it in a Judo competition we're on a train to flavor town together.

Nope, male, and yes, exactly like that. I don't judge (I mean, I post on Yas Forums), but I'd just rather not be in that group.

Seems like it, yeah. Might have to bite the bullet and try one of those MMA gyms once shit opens again.

How do I into Holyfield mode?

Ask Evan Fields, he'll hook you up.

As a bjj guy every tourney I’ve either pulled guard or blasted a shitty double leg. The funny thing is the shitty double leg usually works cause the guy I’m going against also sucks at takedowns. Yet to face a judoka or wrestler

Not really I'm in La county but in North Hollywood. Traveling around the city is a pain in the ass and all of the boxing gyms near me are those cardio boxing gyms. Likewise with the kickboxing ones.

>Tfw no muy thai in Tacoma or any of surrounding 'burbs.
Bros help me out is tae kwon do anything worth training in? How do i spot a McDojo vs someone that actually wants to train people?
