Anybody know a good local Jui-Jitsu Instructor?

[Bruce Chickinson]

I'm looking for a local Huntington Beach (or nearby OC) Jui-Jitsu instructor that doesn't cost a fortune and instinctively knows how to keep safety under wraps.

Any leads? Please send them my way.

Thanks,
Brucie

What style, exactly? Up where I live, we had a dojo that taught Brazilian jiu jitsu, which is primarily/competition a fighting style. Every night I'd walk by there and it would look like a UFC battle royal. I'm betting that's not the type you want.

Brazilian Ju-Jitsu is one of the best. The Gracie family is well known in those circles. Also to consider; kung fu san soo (been there done that), aikido (that thing Steven Segall does).

If all else fails, Colt .45 ACP!

I want grapling method but I've trained Kung Fu before from a guy who did not have "safety" as a key component and my forearms were injured more than they should have. I don't mind major bruises when doing the hand to hand comat exercizes but when it starts damaging the soft tissue and veins....that's a problem. My arms are very thin and my wrists look like they've lived in a concentration camp for awhile (genetic).

AKIDO is good too....Brazilian is fine...as long as the instructor knows my goal is not for competition but for personal fitness and mental "stuff".....I'm taking Karate somewhere else so I'd like to find a "grapling" method to supplement that.

Aikido can be difficult to locate, I've only seen one dojo at all. Some colleges offer martial arts as part of their philosophy courses. For mental and general physical toning, maybe Tai Chi is better for you, or even yoga. Good luck with the search...

i NEED A GOOD STREET GRAPPLING METHOD TO ADD TO MY TRADIONAL KARATE TO DEAL WITH THE MANY "DRUNK MEN" WHO INVADE MY PERSONAL SPACE AT EVERY &%$ *($% SHOW.

I NEED HEAVY DUTY STREET FIGHING HERE.

Kung Fu San Soo. In Chinese it means "Skill of Pugilism" In English it means "Kick ass and take no prisoners"

I'd say Tae Kwon Do covers fighting pretty well, there was alot of sparring involved when I studied it. Too bad you're not in Spokane, my cousin (that I sent to see you all on tour) runs a Tae Kwon Do School there. He competes all over the US and has won a ton of medals.

Is this the part where us neanderthal types here in the forum form a pact saying:

You mess with a Maiden, and you mess with all of us!!!


???

Seriously, one technique I've seen used to good effect involves a crotch kick followed by sending the guy headfirst into a wall...

If i ever see shit like that at a maidens show, when i actually see them, where drunk fucks are invading personal space of the ladies, i will open one HUGE ass can of whoop ass. And thats the bottom line, cuz thebigyetti said so!! ok, enough rasslin' quotes. seriously though, brucie, if you could find an aki do(sp?)(think steven segal) instructor, that would probably be the best because it is where you use your opponent's strength and momentum against them.

Akido and Jui-Jitsu are what I am looking for. I need a Grappling method. TAE KWON DO is not that. It is purely a competition method w/ flexible kicks to the head. I need street fighting to supplement the karate here that I've studied for years, not replace it.

And THEBIGYETTI I could have used you Saturday night. When we come to ATLANTA...you can be my bodyguard right at the front....unless the stage is super huge like House of Blues.

Nice to see you're taking the matter into your own hands and not simply hiding behind your husband.

Shame you live in OC, the dojo I mentioned earlier would be perfect for you. It was a kung foo san soo dojo, one of the main teachers was a Gracie student named Rey Diogo. The sensei was in a wheelchair due to a childhood accident and yet still made it to a high level black belt. Those guys were all about grappling. But I doubt you want to make the 45 minute commute.

Don't have the luxury. Most my gig nights, he's got a gig also and we're not together. Always count on yourself first and foremost.

Everytime I have had a problem it's because we either did not have security or the security was new and froze up at the moment of truth...or they just plain didn't see the incident because they were around the corner and our music / tech guys are left to deal with it.

Ah... I can remember all too clearly being a human shield at the B-Side. At Hottez, when they saw the cameras they backed off a bit, which is what usually happens. They see you coming with a legitimate camera it's like Moses and the Red Sea. I have been very lucky in that respect. One club I used to shoot in a lot I could leave all my gear out and no one would EVER touch it cuz they new someone else would thump them!
