brazilian jiu-jitsu is a fighting style that grabs a person and choke them out or want them to give up, its very useful. Boxing is just punches, and Muay Thai is like kick boxing but more powerful kicks and punches. Please don%26#039;t suggest anything else. just pick One of those 3. thanks|||From your list I%26#039;d choose BJJ
Best wishes :)***|||Actually all of these styles fall short when it comes to self-defense. BJJ offers no techniques against multiple attackers, weapons and striking/clinching/kicking. Muay Thai offers no groundfighting technique, weapons and multiple attacker techniques. Boxing gives you great punching technique but also suffers the same shortcomings as Muay Thai.
If I had to choose one that would give me the most complete training in the different ranges of fighting I would go for Muay Thai. Muay Thai covers punching, kicking, clinching, elbows/knees, stand up throwing. Far more ranges than BJJ and boxing alone.|||it really depends on circumstances.
You would want boxing so that you would never get taken down (if you get attacked while facing someone)
Muay Thai is a lot more of the close grappling using leg kicks and knees to injure the opponent so I would think that is more useful only if someone has attacked and gotten close enough to grab you in bear hug or similar grip
BJJ is a lot more of the on your back, defensive maneuvers. If you got sucker-punched and ended up on your back with someone on top of you with BJJ you might be able to use their positioning or momentum to choke them out and eliminate the threat you faced|||I%26#039;d go with Muay Thai. Though you don%26#039;t practice punching or, more importantly, punch defense as much as you would in boxing, you still get education on punching and how to fight in the clinch, which is about where most fights begin. You also have a wider variety of skills than you would when boxing.
Boxing is still very good.
BJJ should be a supplemental system for self-defense, not a primary system. If you find yourself using BJJ in a fight, the fight has gone on longer than it should have.|||Yeah your definitions don%26#039;t do justice to each of the fighting styles.
I would say Muay Thai. You actually use your elbows as well and its relative to say that the kicks or punches are more powerful. However it is my personal favorite out of all three.
I know you wanted to do one but why not try all three? Most gyms I know of offer all three. You can train in all of them or decide for yourself what you like the most.|||Jujitsu is called the gentle art, because when you%26#039;re trained, you%26#039;re trained to subdue and control an opponent. Today there is more concern over who has the better lawyer than who won the fight.
There is no best style, how fast and how well trained an individual is determines the outcome. I doubt if anyone would question the outcome of a bout if one were an Olympic champion in judo and the other had taken a couple months of karate training or if a professional boxer were to square off against a high school wrestler.
Bottom line is whatever style you learn is only as good as your resolve to win. No style of martial arts will ever replace reflexes and determination. Being able to recognize when a situation is developing is probably the most important thing, being aware of from who and from where trouble may be coming from give you the edge to avoid the problem, or place yourself in a more advantageous position. Very seldom does anything happen without a few seconds notice.
I see most people think BJJ is a ground sport--Don%26#039;t you believe it. All judo matches start standing up. BJJ is just a modification of the judo that was developed in japan and taught by Count Koma to Carlos Gracie in the early 1900%26#039;s.
Take a look at this site--maybe this will help
http://princetonjudo.org/princetonjudo/g...|||I%26#039;d say BJJ. It is the best way to defend yourself against someone who is bigger than you. Although not as much as boxing or muay thai, BJJ does give some striking and most importantly, will give you the mental confidence you need to beat an opponent. Whether you%26#039;re fighting a street thug or a trained fighter, BJJ is the most effective way of fighting imo.|||boxing and muay thai.
but on street fights i would say muay thai because in street fights they only swing with their hands and hope it lands on the face.
what you can do is kick them in the leg and you win the fight.
people who are not trained for muay thai cannot absorb kicks.
it will hurt them so bad.
but if your trained it doesnt hurt that bad!
so yeah.. try muay thai!! its the best|||Self defense? None of them. If someone pulls a knife on you, the last thing your going to want to do is take them down, box them, or kick them. For self defense, try krav maga. If your talking about fighting, then sure any of those would work. But don%26#039;t go around looking for trouble.|||Pick one. It really doesn%26#039;t matter. You need to do all three, just start with one. What is that old saying... journey of a thousand miles starts with one step... kind of cliche I know.
I would look more for the better school/instructor and start there.|||BJJ in my opinion, and experience. i find it more of an all-round style.
but that could just be me. if you like it you could give MMA a go :)
good luck|||Muay Thai.
Sarcastically: Thanks for defining those three styles.
But there%26#039;s your answer.|||boxing with jujitsu.|||Muay thai. I use to do it before. it halped me a lot|||well each style has its advantages and disadvantages
Firstly BJJ is a good form of self defense IF you happen to be on the ground, BJJ allows you to submit or choke out an opponent/attacker. Plus not many people can defend against BJJ style attacks so if you happened to use it as self defense whilst on the ground it would be very Useful. But on the other hand BJJ is only good on the ground and if in a real life situation you are attacked by multiple attackers then BJJ would be useless in terms of self defense!
Boxing is good but not great in terms of defending yourself. Obviously if your a trained boxer then it means you can easily outbox your opponent and you will have a high fitness and endurance levels to your advantage. But if you are trying to defend yourself I wouldn%26#039;t recommend you use plain boxing on its own to try and defend yourself unless you have the fist of mike tyson or something ;)
Lastly Muay Thai would probably be the most effective for if you needed to defend yourself. Muay thai includes boxing techniques plus, powerful leg kicks, knees, spinning back-fists, elbows and clinches. In muay thai you can also learns throws. Muay thai has many effective and powerful techniques which is great in terms of defending yourself. Plus most people arent used to being in a clinch so if you ever got attacked and put your opponent in a clinch followed by some hard knees to the head or body i can assure you , they would be out for the count!
So i think Muay Thai is the best fighting style for you to defend yourself. Or of course you could just combine all three and do something like MMA =]
