“What’s The Best Martial Art For Self Defense?”
Former Seal Commander and best selling author, Jocko Willink on training for self defense and real martial arts.
His self defense recommendations, in order…
- Get a gun and become proficient with it.
- Learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu before other arts.
- Boxing
- Thai Kick Boxing (Muay Thai)
- Wrestling
- Other Weapons
Interesting that Jocko picks Jiu Jitsu first and then other combat sports in lieu of some other more traditional martial arts.
The truth is that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will allow you to defend yourself in a one on one situation.
There is more to it than self defense though.
Jiu Jitsu will also get you in shape, regardless of where you are right now.
You’ll be able to get in shape while doing something that is fun and really enjoyable.
The fitness and weight loss is more likely to save your life than protecting yourself in a fight… because the truth is that you are much more likely to get taken out from a lifestyle disease.
You’ll develop discipline, grit, perseverance, confidence in yourself, and how to overcome obstacles.
You’ll develop an unshakable belief in yourself because you’ll see what you can do, what you can accomplish day after day as you step on the mats.
These mental benefits will change your life forever.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and other combat sports are fun to train and really that makes all the difference because if something can’t hold your interest, you won’t get the benefits from training.
