Shootfighting

I was wondering if anyone out there practices this.

How practical is it for real-life situations? What's the training like?

I know that it combines Muay Thai and Jujitsu techniques - but wouldn't this be difficult to progress in? To be qualified to teach it would probably take a few decades, no?

Bart Vale is the owner of the shootfighting name. He is a 7th degree black belt in Tracy kenpo. I received jr. instructor rank about 5 or 6 years ago. To get this you must know someone and be invited to a camp which Bart puts on 2 times a year. Basically Shootfighting is No Holds Barred fighting. The name comes from Japanese organzation can't remember the name, but it broke up and three different branches formed. Shootfighting, Shootwrestling, and I think Pancrase. Each Organzation has different rules. But real simple it's just like you said "Muay Thai with Jujutsu".

Really? I thought in combined freestyle wrestling, jujitsu, sumo, and karate. I think it started with a wrestler showing two Japanese wrestling. But Kempo is right about it breaking up into three major branches.

Shooto was from Satoru Sayama

Basicly this all came From Japnies Pro Wrestling
& Europen Hooking.

A Shoot is when 1 or 2 Wrestlers
Made the match 2 real.

A lot of Guy's wanted to test them Selves
So they started makin this more & more
Realitic.

Lou Thesz & Karol Gotch
Taught Hooks To Japaniese Pro Wrestlers
Most of the Guy's had M.A. Back rounds
Judo & Sombo were included
as well was Karate & Feestyle Wrestling
