I have a chance to learn BJJ for free but it's only once a weekShall I do it? Will I learn anything useful?
>>76733747BJJ is gay.
>>76733815>Gets choked out by 2 stripe white belt
>>76733747I would say go ahead and do it. Any type of martial art experience is better than no martial art experienceIt helps you realize your place in the world of who you would or would not want to fight, and also it can give you an advantage against someone who doesn’t have any training. BJJ would not be my first choice, but I would not turn down free training in it by any means. I absolutely hated wrestling, but I am glad I did it for afew years when I was a kid.
real men do karate loser
>>76733832Still gay.
>>76733832Only happens to Americans who never roughhoused as kids.>>76733747>Will I learn anything useful?Not for street fighting probably, but you will learn how to program a martial arts routine and dip into actual sports and fighting training, which is all very extremely useful for your life. So fucking do it, idiot.
>>76733747I'd soon as practice tai chi before bjj. Bjj culture is built on underachieving and unathletic loser dudebros jerking each other around. It's a popular joke to heel hook trial people as "initiation." CTE might be better than limping forever.Wrestling is super competitive and everyone you're paired with will be athletic; terrible idea to start late.You have just judo left. If you live in any major city you might have a judo club or two. Every club starts the same, it's impossible to teach fake judo because of the fundamentals unlike bjj, so no mcdojos. Every club competes, you don't have to, so there's always a degree of seriousness. Usually, a good 2-3 months of breaking falls, then you learn one or two takedowns for another 3months, then you move a belt, and you learn good judo. A year in you would have also learned at least two submission. Will have soreness for the first few months from breaking falls, unlikely to have major injuries, worst you'll get as a beginner is a sprain.
>>76733747Do muay thai or judo like >>76733863 said. Bjgay is fucking useless, just rolling around with sweaty gays.
>>76733885>just rolling around with sweaty gaysI think this is the point for these "dudes".
At 35, i joined boxing gym, best thing ever. 2 times a week, 1hour. 1 hour full of good cardio, mobility, coordination, power. Add 1 or 2 days of compounds and you are golden. But BJJ is still better than nothing.
>>76733747Why not it's free
>>76733844>Not for street fighting probably, I thought bjj was the #1 street verified martial art
>>76733747Go do it it's very fun
>>76733747grapplecucks don't want you to know that the ultimate, unbeatable move in their gay sport is just lifting them up and dropping them.
I'm starting to notice a pattern that during american hours most posters love BJJ and hate Judo, in european hours it's the inverse. This leads me to assume that there must be some discrepancy in the quality of BJJ taught in America and Europe. Judo is very 'formalized' so the Judo you're taught should be about the same anywhere.t. Did Judo for about a year when I was a little kid.
>>76734116They will snap both your arms before you can do that
>>76733747>it's fitness>it's free>should i do it?wtf man of course you should do it. i wanted to go with my kids to a karate school that does family sessions and it's only once a week for fuckn $275/mo! get on it man!
>>76734151Counterpoint: european hours are also unemployed american hours
>>76734292Thanks
>>76733747>anything useful?Yes, you will learn what it looks like when someone is trying to put you into a submission, and how to not get instantly submitted.
>>76734045If you can be 100% sure your opponent is alone & unarmed, then it's ok. If they have even a small knife or one friend, BJJ is instantly one of the dumbest fucking things you could use.
>>76733747>Will I learn anything useful?Yes, the most useful thing you will learn are escapes and they're the easiest part. You'll also learn how extremely fucking gay most of it is.>>76735000Also, this.
>>76734990>>76735000>>76735015Thanks
>>76734281bjj doesn't work when you're getting hit in the face
>>76734116> just lifting them up and dropping them.congratulations you have described judo
>>76733747You'll just get some sweaty guy with a inferiority complex rubbing his crotch all over you and pressing your face into a mat that's had dozens of assholes stain it. Any "skill" you would learn doesn't matter in the end when a nigger can shoot you, stab you, or gang rape you in the streets. If you're wanting to learn BJJ for defense just buy a gun instead.
>>76733863>breakfallswhich are a super useful lifetime skill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRSWuOClWYE>How learning Judo at age 14 saved the life of a 69-year-oldhe fell down some shoddy stairs, several feet onto concrete, and came out of it with some bruises instead of coming out of it crippled or dead.
>>76733832>renders you unconscious while on top of you bro that’s even gayer
>>76733747You should do it. It's the best martial art that won't permanently fuck up your body and is actually useful.Once a week is actually perfect. You'll learn enough to become more confident without becoming a retard.
>>76733815>not wanting to get free gay rapist training.this is why you will always be the fleshlightee and not the fleshlighter
>>76735555 (checked)what about sparring injuries? like >>76733863
>>76733815
>>76733747>Will I learn anything useful?how to roll around a soft padded floor
>>76735555>won't permanently fuck up your bodyanon what the fuck are you talking about.
>>76735632It's once a week and free so it's probably not going to be super hardcore (it might, you know better than me). If you feel like you got caught in something or are in a weird/uncomfortable position then tap. Just that should help you keep your joints mostly intact until you get the hang of it.
>>76735933Lol funny image
>>76733747Once a week is plenty to become relatively competent at escaping and getting back to your feet after a few months.
Gi is gay nogi is straight
>>76735053Hitting someone doesn't work when you're sleeping
>>76733747Nigga I pay to go once a week>No free time student fag
It's an excuse to rape you.
>>76733815(and that's a good thing)
>>76733747>Will I learn anything useful?Yeah. Obviously you won't progress as fast and as far as someone who trains two, three, four times a week, but you'll still learn
>>76735555>won't permanently fuck up your bodyKEK LMAO
>>76734116>lifting them upThat's honestly really fucking easy to preventYou can really only do it from like two positions, and in both it's absolutely trivial to just entangle your opponent's legs so that they can't stand upNot to mention that lifting someone in a closed guard just gives them an incredible setup for a double-leg
>>76735632Honestly really depends on your gym and the people you're sparring withIf your gym is very competition oriented, and full of roided young guys who go full retard 100% of the time then yes, some injuries are likelyIf the atmosphere is more casual, you'll be fine, so long as you tap early and don't roll with retards
>>76735301Based. Judo-chads stay winning. If your judo club has old people you just know it's serious business
>>76735555Lmao. Bjj got the earliest retirement age for a reason dumbfuck poster.
>>76733747It's free. Go for it.
>>76738629Okay
Multisport?
