There are lots of differences to consider before choosing
a martial art. You must bear in mind that everything takes practice
and that liking the club, the instructor, the philosophy behind the
art and the way things are done is important if you are to stick at
it.
In the end it is the members that decide what a club
is like - clubs don't just exist for training, they should be a place
to make friends and enjoy yourself. From the aspect of the martial art
itself, Jiu Jitsu is well suited to the individual who appreciates being
able to turn away an attacker with minimal use of force, yet would still
like to be able to defend with deadly force if required.
