About the differences between Brazilian jiu Jitsu for sports and for self-defense.

About the differences between Brazilian jiu Jitsu for sports and for self-defense. The fundamental difference is that in Brazilian jiu jitsu applied to self-defense, the aim is to play on top and never pull guard. We seek to close the distance while defending punches and kicks, perform a clinch and takedown that allows us to fall on the attacker and establish dominant positions (side control, mount or back) The fundamental objective is control and submission with the least possible damage. That's why strangulations such as the Mata Leon and The Arm Triangle are especially effective.

About the differences between Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, contact martial arts, and other grappling modalities.

Differences with contact martial arts and sports. The fundamental differences are the prohibition of punches and kicks in the sport context, with the application of joint locks and chokes as main methods of finishing the fight. In the non-sport context the difference is that although punches and kicks can be applied, they are not the fundamental objective of Brazilian jiu jitsu. In case of applying them, the idea is to distract or generate openings in the opponent to gain control or finishing positions without causing injuries. In this sense, two of the safest and least damaging submissions are the Mata leon and Kata gatame. Differences with respect to other martial arts that do not use punches, such as Judo or Olympic wrestling (in Free and Greco-Roman variants). The fundamental difference is that in this type of sports, the main goal is getting a takedown and keep the opponent pinned, while In Brazilian jiu jitsu a takedown and a pin doesn't secures the win, and you can even get ...

About the Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Image
The purple belt is one of the most rewarding belts in Brazilian jiu jitsu but at the same time one of the most frustrating for many people when they don't see the brown belt coming. In our opinion, the fundamental problem with the purple belt is that it requires the development of a personal game, where each person begins to choose and perform certain techniques and combine them to make them more efficient. Whereas a blue belt knows the basics and has an arsenal of  techniques so to speak, the purple belt begins to specialize in some guard passes, takedowns, sweeps  and submissions. It is at this point where it is necessary to understand that the development of this game of combinations is something very personal and that it takes a different time for each person. Many purple belts ask teachers what they need to do to get to brown or believe that evolution depends on learning more techniques instead of polishing their techniques and combinations to make them more efficient. So...
