Every every so often I get questions and this was a very good one, so I believed I’d submit my reply right here. The query was: is Judo or BJJ a greater complement to Taijiquan?
“It’s an fascinating query! BJJ has fewer guidelines about what to not do, and is due to this fact nearer to self-defense, however it is determined by the college you go to – judo is just about the identical in all places. I might say each are good. My private choice is BJJ as a result of it’s not so arduous on the physique and I desire to do floor work over throws. If you are extra inquisitive about throws, do Judo.
If you need one thing Chinese, Shuai Jiao can be a very good addition to Taijiquan, however it’s arduous to search out outdoors of China. There are some on-line programs out there.
But I believe my actual reply is that it is not the artwork that issues, it is the instructor. Find a instructor you want and who is nice at one thing, and study what they’ve to show you is my recommendation. I believe that’s extra vital in the long term than which artwork you select.”
