Why BJJ and Striking Are the Foundation

Most real assaults involve grabbing, clinching, or being taken to the ground — exactly thesituations Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was designed for. BJJ teaches you to escape grips, controldistance, get back to your feet, and neutralize a larger attacker using leverage instead ofstrength. Striking training adds the ability to create space and deter. Together, they’re themost honest self-defense system there is — because you pressure-test everything againstresisting partners.
