Chinese Female Wrestler Shows The Effectiveness Of Wrestling For Self Defense

Chinese Female Wrestler Shows The Effectiveness Of Wrestling For Self Defense

When it comes to self defense, your best option is often to train in combat sports where you will have sparring matches with a fully resisting training partner and you will be putting yourself in advantageous positions (Takedown, mount, back control). Wrestling, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu come to mind as viable options.

How about self defense arts such as Kravmaga?

So Self Defense or Combat Sports: What is more effective in the REAL world?

Extremely high level Brazilian Jiujitsu and mma fighter, Professor Tom DeBlass had this to say:

“To the street fighters that think Jiu-Jitsu can’t be used in a street fight.
Perhaps you forget that we also have teeth to bite your face off when we mount you.
Perhaps you forget we also half fingers to fish hook your cheek off your face when you are totally helpless.
Perhaps you forget we can also pick up that bottle or stick and smash your head in.
We can do everything a “street fighter” can do. It’s simply a choice. Personally I’d rather eat someone’s face as a last resort in a street confrontation, but remember…it’s a choice.
I’m also confident a well conditioned Jiu-Jitsu black belt can win 99% of street fights without throwing a single punch.” – Professor Tom DeBlass
