24. Much depends on the martial art ...

Dec 2011

My instructor's primarily classes taught judo and they were oriented toward competition. At least one of his students represented the United States in the Olympics.

However he also taught a jujitsu class for self defense. Much of the emphasis of this class was on effective techniques that were forbidden in judo competition because of the damage they could inflict. Considerable time was spent learning how to disarm a person with a gun, knife or club. The class also included elements of karate, judo and Aikido.

edited mainly to see how it works
