BJJ Striking

[Szczepankiewicz]

To give you a full view of my ignorance I have some questions:


1) How many different striking styles do BJJ practicioners use? I have seen open handed strikes (palm heels) and closed fisted knuckle strikes (i.e. boxing punches).

Withstanding any eye gouging, finger poking ninja like strikes, which are the ones used in training?

2) Is there a limited number of strikes available in the Art?
We train in a a list of striking techniques. Using different parts of the hand. But I don't see where more than a few would be effective in an NHB situation.

Depends on the teacher, Even Rolls, Carlos Gracie and others Cross trained in Boxing. Boxing Is taught alot in alot of BJJ schools in Brazil and the U.S.
