it looks good so i thought i’d give it a shot, i’ve heard mixed things about it (some don’t like watching it, others prefer other martial arts like jiu jitsu)

    What are you looking for in a martial art? If you actually want to learn how to defend yourself I wouldnt recommend it for example. It is however a beautiful art that demands skill and athleticism. I imagine that combining it with kickboxing for example would make you actually pretty dangerous. Maybe you just wanna do a fun sport that looks cool for which its probably great.

      Thanks for the info.

      It’d be ideal if I’m able to learn some skills to defend myself but I’m not looking to make this full time or spar as I have time constraints due to work and I’ve had previous concussions so I can’t actually be kicked in the head (even with a helmet on).

      Kickboxing might be what i’m looking for. Thank you!

        You can do sparring, technique and self defense all without head trauma in bjj! Sparring is vital if you want to have actionable skills that hold up under pressure (i.e. the worst Moment of your life)
