What is Brazillian Jiu-jitsu and Krav Maga? and how is it taught at the BCA?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the most dominant and proven combat form in the UFC and in all of MMA today. It is taught to the marines in the USA and to personnel in active combat duties across the world. It’s a form of grappling that combines wrestling, judo, and submission techniques in ground fighting. What makes it unique is that it allows smaller, weaker people to overcome larger, stronger untrained opponents with skill and technique. Another great feature of BJJ that makes it extremely effective in bullying and social scenarios is that it allows a practitioner to dominate and control without gross violence and unnecessary injury and threat to life – which is why its being taught to cops across the USA and is a great tool for kids across the world. With the rise of Jiu-Jitsu as a sport though, people have become more focussed on the competition part and have often started overlooking the core aspects that make it so effective for self defence.

Krav Maga is the Israeli combat system developed by Imi Lichtenfeld to help jews combat the Nazis. It has since been used for the Israeli secret service (mossad) and armed forces worldwide. It does not have a style of its own, but is more of a Mindset that combines the most practical and effective techniques from a variety of combat forms. The goal of a Krav maga practitioner is not of ‘win a fight’ but to survive and get back home safely at all costs.
It it’s the world’s most proven self defence form and is taught worldwide for self defence.
The problem with most Krav Maga classes now-a-days though is that they rely too much on choreography and ‘partner drills’ and are barely ever pressure tested, just so that students dont drop out and the business keeps growing. That results in a huge number of pseudo dojos and actually incapable people with high rankings and certificates who think they can fight but actually cannot.

At the Battlefit Combat Academy, by blending Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Krav Maga in a highly graded way and with regular pressure testing, we address the most important factor in the forms for practical self defence – will this really work on the streets? And the answer, is a resounding yes. At the Battlefit Combat Academy we teach Krav Maga with constant and regular drills against opposition at controlled speeds and we teach Jiu-Jitsu with a core focus on self defence and not just competition strategy.

Our Jiu-Jitsu syllabus and coaching style is borrowed from our coaches at Warrior’s Cove MMA – one of India’s TOP MMA and BJJ teams and home to by far the most dominant athletes in Indian BJJ.
