Self defence/fighting classes

[cricks11]

I don't think you can say the odds are against a MMA fighter. Sure, self defence people can win, but I think unless you get the first strike to vitals, or manage to kick the balls :P, the MMA fighter is just superior in all other aspects.

Power of Rotary, why don't you recommend Krav Maga? I always thought if I were to complement my MMA with anything it would be Krav Maga.

There are two of us training here under supervision from head of style Kyoshi Bissett,.

I trained bissett jiu jitsu til i was 14. The dojo used to be on blackfoot near the kirks tire. Chris Bissett? I think was head guy that came once every 6 months.

I wanna look into this krav maga thing as well, since everyone seems to recommend it.

How fit do you need to be to get into it? Does it get you in shape along with teaching you the art as well? How much does something like this cost to take in Calgary? What would recommended places be?

Here's a good karate dojo that has been around a long time with excellent instruction ..... a lot of very accomplished karateka (internationally competitive) in the main dojo (NE Calgary):

Shaka, check out http://www.integritytkd.com/.

I was gonna go train there but decided I didn't need to train at two places.
Seems like a good guy, effective training, and decent price.

I train at BDB martial arts. It's an awesome gym, they have Muay Thai kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, and Wrestling. (Yoga and Capoeria too, if you're into that). It's fairly cheap compared to a lot of other gyms and it has lots of classes.

They've got world champion BJJs there, Nick Ring, who's fighting in Vancouver at UFC 131! It's not your typical "self defence" course, but I'd bet my money on a MMA fighter over a JKD or taekwondo guy anyday. Maybe not krav maga though.. those guys are scary haha. and they kick you in the balls

alex?

relating to self defense, bissett jiu jitsu aka japanese jiu jitsu.
focus strictly on self defense. I have started a "grassroots"
movement training beginer students interested in self defence. no formal club here but am training on my own small scale.
have room for 2 more,serious additions to train with and teach.
drop me a line if you wish, have any questions feel free.

[r3ccOs]

honestly in a "fight" usually everything starts with the hands and then some type of useles grapling

its almost like an unspoken rule... nobody starts kicking, nobody looks for a chute, nobody drops to their back expecting their oppontent to drop into a mount lolz

The best skills I've ever learned to protect myself was Boxing... timing, movement, eye hand co-ordination, technique and condtioning

I also wresteled in high school, which gives a good base and understanding of weight transfer..

If I needed something that I need to protect myself in all conditions of life/death situations... Krav all the way

[nj2Type-S]

i don't wanna sound like a total cheap ass but if i'm ever in a situation where i'd have to defend myself, i hope that person is wearing a cup cuz i will be going for the balls immediately, hahaha

If it comes down to protecting yourself then ball kicks, eye gouges and everything goes lol.

bissett jiu jitsu is not at all about ground fighting....
that would be brazilian jiu jitsu.
going to the ground is a bad first step plan on the street, particularily if there is more than one.

we are more traditional in the sense jiu jitsu was developed as a empty handed self defense style.
and all about stand up and finish, components of control with the end result of a balanced system of self defense.
not without ground work however to remain balanced.. but 20 percent or less on the ground.

the current head of style Shihan Bissett has a strong military back ground and has spent most of his life testing and redefining
what is needed from self defense

not a game.. not a sport..
and hey if the soft spots present why not hit them

Dynamic MMA has started a spot for us to get back to training. Headed by 2nd dan black belt in our style, so it is not a "attempt" at our style but current curiculum as printed. They understand that not everyone wants to step into the cage, and selfdefence is a concern. so here we are.

There were a few interested awhile back, I was training out of
my basement dojo, I can understand that would make some people hesitant. but out of the basemend into the light.
come check it out, you can call Dynamic for times to drop in and check it out, its free to see what is about.
