name a martial art that would actually work well against many attackers ,


-As omnifinite pointed out, an art that uses strikes to vulnerable areas.

-Traditional Jujutsu arts do much better with multiple attackers than a lot of styles.

-Aikido is excellent for multiple attackers once you've gained some proficiency with it.

As I said before, I have respect for BJJ practitioners but don't think the art is the be all end all they make it out to be. The multiple attackers point isn't a big one (most people will probably never use their art in a fight, nevermind against many attackers), but it's an example of a BJJ weakness.

The thing about BJJ versus multiple attackers is that you are lying on your back with your legs wide open. That is no way to take on a group of guys.

Bison,

I sincerely hope you never encounter a competent grappler.

I study two different types of Jujitsu , one bieng BJJ, the other, Dan Zan Ryu, and from experience I can say that in a BJJ match, or a straight up grappling match,(limited striking matches also), Jujitsu is proven it's reliability, but seriously, in a life threating situation when self preservation is key, any art/style that is based around competition is'nt going to teach someone to Gouge the eyes with no remorse, and to Bite when ever the chance becomes availible, These two "moves" are not allowed in Jujitsu for a reason , it would be too easy to win , you can find your opponants eyes and sink in your thumbs, or as soon as you get a chance bite a chunk outta him. But this is just my opinion.

relax, my original post was edited and i can see why. all im sayin is if youre lying on your back with your legs wide open, you're not very mobile are you. bad idea to be immobile and on your back when there's more than one guy waiting to give you a piece. common sense folks.

I agree with you, mobility is key.

ok great energyboxer , noone said you couldn't do that in a fight, but to make competion safer they remove those aspects of combat


than why'd you say that bison , and you still didn't answer my question?


being on your back is a defensive position, you don't know much about bjj do you,

Yes i do know alot about Jujitsu, that's thats not the question, it was , and still is , BJJ vs TMA, and BJJ is a limited style, you can't really compare a sport drivin style against a self preservation system, or any style that employs the use of "serious vital attacks", the goals are different.
