How Traditional Martial Arts Discriminate Against Middle Aged Men & Women – Street Fighting Moves

If you spent any time around other guys, school, church, or whatever, then you were always asked what your bench press was. This is true from high school on. I’ve always been competitive, so I worked on my bench press a lot, took supplements, vitamins etc. and made sure that I was always one of the guys who could bench the most on sports teams and among friends.

Of course you know this meant I was tough, I knew could take anyone I could bench more than. Well, then again… when I was in my early twenties I decided to get involved with Martial Arts, I figured now that I was out of college sports this would be my next challenge.

This is so embarrassing, my first class sparing quickly taught me that the bench press did nothing for my ability to be tough. I decided then and there that I had to have a better routing for my chest. I refused to be humiliated so badly. After you read this article you’ll have confidence to put together a workout that is much better for your chest as a martial artist.

Moving a weight from one point to the other in a straight line is not quite so effective if your opponent is coming at you from the side or behind.

Unlike choreographed actors in a film who throw beautiful spinning butterfly kicks to the head in slow motion, real fights in dangerous situations quite often begin with a few sloppy punches at best and quickly turn into a basic grappling competition. College wrestlers, for example, are often better able to survive a bar brawl or a cage fight better than a top-level Kung Fu master. Also, many people are learning martial arts to prepare for a hopeful career in the military or police, and Jiu Jitsu techniques will certainly be more adaptable and immediately useful to military or police training than most striking forms.

What Makes Jiu Jitsu Techniques So Effective?

First of all, although it may seem obvious it’s important to take note of the fact that Jiu Jitsu focuses on effectiveness, as opposed to other martial arts disciplines which focus on philosophy, perfect technique, or other highly specialized styles. For example, take Judo which is often referred to as the “sport version of Jiu Jitsu” and is also an Olympic Sport. Just like Olympic boxing focuses on a very narrow set of rules and a system of scoring points that would not necessarily be the most effective way to win a professional fight, so does Olympic Judo focus on style and points as opposed to the most effective way to subdue an attacker who intends to hurt you or a loved one.

What makes Jiu Jitsu techniques different than other martial arts is that they focus on effective chokes and submissions to disable an opponent rather than more risky kicks and punches. While not exposing much of his own body to harm and also without exerting much physical effort, a master of Jiu Jitsu techniques can render an attacker unconsciously or physically unable to continue to fight with just a few fundamental moves.

My advice is very direct and succinct. Forget about all of the Traditional Martial Arts programs, and enroll yourself in a Reality-Based Self Protection program which does not emphasize high kicks and extreme leg and hamstring flexibility, and instead of taking years to master can be taught and learned in a matter of a weekend
