Hi all, wanted to get some input, thinking about taking bjj or km for self defense and was curious as to what you all think would be best. I have talked to some mma gyms and other training facilities and was surprised to hear many of them think krav maga is not legit at all and some think its a joke. (I have no idea and hadn't heard that before) part of me thinks it's them ragging on competition but again, don't know. I am a bit older but in good shape and like the lifestyle of being in shape and learning good self defense fighting techniques.
There are a bjj and a km facility that are fairly close to me so would be convenient for me to train. I know BJJ is very legit and many mma fighters have backgrounds in that so it seems like it would be pretty good sd training. But I hear a good bit about km but mainly on the internet. (it must be true). It seems like it's pretty specific to many weapons self defense techniques, and would be fun to learn, just don't know a lot about it.
Anyway anyone have words of wisdom with regard to these forms of self defense?
