Jujitsu or wing chun kung fu?

im doing wing chun atm but there is also a jujutsu class which is taught by a 9th dan black belt and is 'the best in the world' but if he's 9th dan i wont doubt his capabilities, anyway i cant do both cause the classes clash, i have been doing wing chun for over a year but is jujutsu better and will it help more in real life thanks

Jujitsu or wing chun kung fu?
i think they wont clash because jiu jitsu is a grappling art and wing chun is striking
Reply:A Gracie? Rorion? His academy is in Torrance, CA but if you are just starting I doubt you will get direct training from such a high rank. That would be amazing to be taught by someone with those creds. I believe that is a red belt or is that 10th degree?Take it, man.
Reply:Jujitsu will be your best bet. the Kung fu stuff is flashy and looks impressive and may help you develop some coordination, but jujitsu will help you more in the real world. go back to the wing chun after you black belt in jujitsu and use it as a way to fill out your martial knowledge.
Reply:jiujitsu can be useful in a real street defence but if your opponent has friends with him forget it, you'll turn into left over meat for animals.





WIng chun is great for street defence against multiple people if you know how to bring them in a straight line and push them around. and by the time you take them to the ground they'll probably be ****** up.





jiujitsu is a great art, i take it but forget it if the person has friends. but on the good side, if it's one person who's bigger and bulkier than you, you can apply it on him, jiujitsu is leverage, not brute strength. In my opinion stay with wing chun, master it then move on to juijitsu unless you find another school that teaches it at a different time than wing chun.
Reply:depends on what you like Wing Chun is striking and Jiu jitsu is ground, i hav a lot of friends who take Wing Chun and they are incredibly fast, both are effective for street fighting so if thats what you want then you have chosen two great arts
Reply:Phillip C nailed it.
Reply:there is only one way to find out .try it .good luck.
Reply:Training in two school at the same time???? I will not teach you...If it is found out...you are likely to be kick out of both school...maybe beaten up
Reply:Both good but stick with wing chun until you feel you are comfortable then have a go at jujitsu as its great for self defense
Reply:sorry... just want to lol at Kelly C.





lol





ok done now... onto the question





its entirely up to you, if you want to learn how to grapple, go for that, if you want to learn how to strike go that direction.





Personally i prefer striking. I'm naturally gifted at grappling but the idea of training in it never really talked to me.





One warning, from what i've seen in some juijitsu and BJJ clubs, the lessons are very hands on. As in when your learning how to apply an armbar after a takedown, you WILL be taking that guy down and then you WILL be applying the arm bar on him. And likewise he'll be doing the same to you.





If you have the time and money then take both, (now refering to the point by kelly C)





Howevr if you do decide to take both then talk to your instructor (current) and ask his views on it, some closed minded instructors refuse to teach students who aren't dedicated 100% to the one art. Likewise you'd want to speak to the instructor of the juijitsu place.
