Nathan Addict 175 posts	Saturday 4th December 2004 at 20:00 Hi, noticed the forum's been kinda quiet lately... And I'm sick to death of the old, Muay Thai + Brazilian JuJitsu combination... If you guys for any reason, were forced to not to be able to do Traditional JuJitsu, Brazillian or Thai... What would be you next choice of Martial Art? I think for myself, boxing. Guys? -----edit----- I know boxings isn't a martial art as such, but you get my drift ;-) _____________________________

Robsco 1319 posts	Sunday 5th December 2004 at 14:26 Well if TJJ and BJJ are off the menu, it'd have to be Judo. It does have groundwork, but it depends where you train, when you watch Olympic Judo there isn't too much ground-work before the referee stands them up again, which is a real shame. The Admin Guy
sl Resident 855 posts	Sunday 5th December 2004 at 16:55 But say a typical Judo syllabus would include some groundwork? ______________________________
Robsco 1319 posts	Sunday 5th December 2004 at 17:07 Yeah definately, hold-downs, arm-bars and chokes. But like I say, I think it depends where you train, and what the instructors are like. This is all on what I've heard tho, it could be different. Steve would be your man to answer that for sure. The Admin Guy

crazymofo55 Regular 41 posts	Tuesday 14th December 2004 at 14:47 Freestyle wrestling is the next best because although it focuses less on submissions it does focus on the most important aspect of ground fighting, which is position. It is said that it is easier for a wrestler to adapt to no holds barred then a boxer so i would say that it would be a better base.
