I'm in Tae Kwon Do...which obviously does a lot of kicks. How hard of a transition would it be to train Jiu Jitsu?I read this and learned something new today :) http://www.martialweb.com/styleDtl.aspx?id=5[/quote] Its not that hard once you have the basic body mechanics down. Training in Jujitsu is pretty much the same as learning anew art. I have trained in Jujitsu rought for about three years both in many diffrent systems, one thing I learned is you have to have the stamina and the flexibility to be able to perfom many of the ground techniques. if you have previous MA experiences , it does help.

I'm in Tae Kwon Do...which obviously does a lot of kicks. How hard of a transition would it be to train Jiu Jitsu? I read this and learned something new today :) http://www.martialweb.com/styleDtl.aspx?id=5 I think the main difference would be the distance and fighting on the ground. The rest is just a matter of absorbing and learning the techniques, just like any other art. ....and yes, knowing other arts helps, but it can also slow you down at first because you will be reacting based on your experience in TKD, not JJ. But all will come together.
"Karate is a form of martial arts in which people who have had years and years of training can, using only their hands and feet, make some of the worst movies in the history of the world."

It's a very different art. Just be open to what is being taught and don't encorporate your experience too much. "You must empty your cup" to take in more knowledge.

If you have any experience in wrestling from high school or college, it would be easier on you. If not, it's a different world.

Sport Karate (4/29/2006)
If you have any experience in wrestling from high school or college, it would be easier on you. If not, it's a different world.Pete, unfortunately, I have no experience in wrestling. I never liked the sport when I was in high school. But now, looking back, I wish I did. It would help me out to be a rounded fighter.

i have been training in jiu jitsu for about 2 months and i am still a white belt flexibility is the most important when ground fighting it took me ages to be able to squat my butt down to my feet when ground fighting and ground fighting is really hard and it takes months and months to get the flexibility of it and plus the stamina it takes ages thats the difficulty part jiu jitsu involves alot of pin downs and throws lockdowns and arm twist locks its great to learn but it takes more than just effort its takes alot of gutts and determination because it is a very hard martial arts style. but it gets easier with years of experience and then a black belt.
roller man is the the way to the flying foot of power.no, you speak the flying foot because the hand cant work no more.

| Hi Roller I'm flexibile, but not in a jiu jit su kind of way. I've been impressed on some of the people I've seen train on how they "pretzel" their body to get submissions or get out of submissions. Give us more insight on your training.
