Jocko Willink: Jiu-Jitsu is Only the Second Most Effective Form of Self Defense

It’s very important to keep in mind that the sport aspect and self-defense aspect of the same sport is very different. But if you’re new to martial arts and you want to train Self-defense how can you say what martial art is the best for your needs?

In this video, Navy SEAL Jocko Willink breaks down what he feels is the best method for self-defense.

“First and foremost, if you’re talking about true self-defense to protect yourself, it’s a gun and it’s concealed carry.”

“The first thing you start off with is Brazilian JiuJitsu because it’s going to teach you how to handle yourself when a combative situation gets into a grappling scenario.”

BJJ Black belt vs. Kali Knife Fighter

While most of the grappling martial arts are oriented on sport and competition Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not just a sport-oriented grappling martial art. Old school Jiu Jitsu started as a self-defense martial art and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is still focused on it.

It’s actually very hard to fight against a knife with grappling martial arts or any other martial arts. But once you’re on the ground chances of your surviving a knife-wielding attacker are much bigger.

Controlling his arms and chest are the key in this situation, but even then, if you make everything perfect it’s very likely you’ll get cut.

So, does grappling martial arts have any chances of defending against a knife attack? Let’s see how good Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is against a knife in hands of the best in the world with it, Kali Martial Artists.

The MMA Fighter On A Mission To Expose “Fake Martial Artists” in China

MMA fighter on a mission to expose fake martial artists in china

You remember the MMA guy who fought Tai Chi master and knocked him out in 10 seconds? He’s on a mission again.

The fight ended before it even began. Police in China swept in and detained controversial Chinese mixed martial arts fighter Xu Xiaodong minutes before his scheduled comeback fight against a Tai Chi master.

The planned fight came just weeks after video of Xu brutally flattening a Tai Chi master went viral – a fight that lasted just about 10 seconds, prompting massive backlash that forced Xu into hiding. Xu, an outspoken self-promoter, has claimed he is on a mission to expose fake masters of traditional martial arts.

VICE News met with Xu at his gym in Beijing earlier this month when he was still preparing for the scheduled battle that ended up not happening.
