Judo Vs BJJ-the answer is Judo, BJJ

Or viewing Web sites or MMA, Judo, BJJ forums, the subject of Judo vs. BJJ has yet another classic debate, akin to that of the old "Gi vs. No Gi" debate. The issue of Judo vs. BJJ, however, is much easier to answer because it is simply the wrong question in almost every application framework. In short, an Olympic level pianist would benefit from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as much as a world-class BJJ player would benefit from Judo.

And at the highest level, there are several examples of this beginning to happen. GB'S Winston Gordon trains with Gracie Barra and has a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Ray Stevens, former Olympic silver medalist, is known to train with Roger Gracie. Dave Camarillo, Rhadi Ferguson and Lloyd Irvin become vocal proponents of cross-training this arts and have all enjoyed great success in both sports.Therefore, the answer is Judo and BJJ. Most top level players begin to know of this fact and rarely ever to involve itself in the nonsense of the forums.

However, dragging the forums and you'll often see this very discussion. comments range from the small like a "judoka" comment about BJJ players wearing too many patches on their GI is on the erroneous "BJJ player" comment that "the judoka easy to double leg". I also read recently that one judoka "either never seen anyone in BJJ show me a step that don't exist in judo".

These comments are harmful because they are our progress as the best that we can slow down. It is a fact that within the "GI-sport", that the average Judo club will have a much higher degree of stand-up skill per person, and the average BJJ club (who does it in an average club-ha, that's another story and I will be shot when I go there!) a much higher degree of skill on the ground.Assuming that the respective coaching levels constant be held would anyone want their skills in balance definitely want exercise stand-up at the Judo club and BJJ in BJJ club. And this is why comments like "I've never seen anyone in BJJ show me a step that don't exist in judo" so unhelpful and completely miss the point. Neither art is really about knowing the largest number of "moves" and everyone who has trained in the competitive environment knows that this is the case. However, such comments ignorance and Division in place of learning and inclusion.

There are a multitude of advantages to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu both Judo, the cross-over benefits of learning different approaches to training of larger all-round skills, training (for example, speed and power to slow and technical).There are just too many to list here. However, everyone in case of doubt or uncertain should consider this: the learning curve in both art is greatest at the beginning and that is why you benefit most from the early days.When I started Judo, I found that it is much easier to non-Judo players throw BJJ was.However, several months after, my BJJ friends began Judo training and learned to stiff-arm. all of sudden, I couldn't throw them so many times (until I overcame the stiff-arm).

Therefore, forget the ancient texts, the "who tapped that" in the 1920s, the lineage charts, and other nonsense. to compete in both sports optimally, you have both judo and BJJ and some wrestling also not harmful. my website "JudoBJJ" is looking for the integration of these sports in favour of judo and BJJ to promote both.
