Looking for a New Discipline

tkd_wrestler · 07-21-2007, 10:33 PM

I'm looking to pick up a new discipline that will bring some grappling into my striking. I'm not interested in brazilian jujitsu because quite frankly I've never found a good way to use it for self defense and I'm not interested in any styles of karate. I tall, long limmed and very fast. Does anybody have an idea of something that would work for a guy like me?

Judo or Escrima could be helpful, but for floorwork I can't really think of anything better than BJJ, there are plenty of ways to use it in self defence, I recommend you at least give it a chance.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is great for self defense. Add to it a striking game, a clinch game - and you're a fighter.
