BJJ self-defense is TKD self-defense

[Mider]

In the kid's BJJ class yesterday, my Professor did self-defense before getting into the lesson. The attack the uke was simulating was a haymaker punch, the defense was a basic knife-hand block, hook the arm into a head-and-arm throw.

The exact take-down was different than I've typically done in TKD class, but the rest of it (including the uke's attack and the style of the drill) was pretty much the same as punch defense in TKD.

I just think its funny after doing TKD for years and reading how inferior it is to BJJ, then we go and do the exact same stuff.

Idk if its inferior…there are just arts that seem to work better in different situations

standing vs on the ground, kicking vs punching. And then theres weapon vs empty hand and a good case on how you must train gor when you get older

And on the subject of tri tac. They do the crash entries I would more have associated with bjj self defence.
