I have a better appreciation of BJJ, because those videos showed me the limitations of striking.

One big advantage of BJJ is no one can lay a finger on you, in a fight that is all that matters.

But, if you rush a guy and take him to the ground, you better hope it is situation where they will let you shoot a fair one.

I still lean towards something that lets me fight multiple people like a gun, Kung-Fu, or a knife, because I do not start fights.
Knowing BJJ doesnt mean you throw punches like a girl. Bjj doesnt mean you dont carry weapons. Using BJJ doesnt mean you shouldnt be preparing yourself for specific scenarios. To me multiple attackers means i need to be using a weapon because its a better equalizer than my fist. Life isnt like the movies, where you wataa a couple guys and they crumble. I mean yea you can snuff the leader and his buddy but its not always gonna work like that. You just dont know someones intentions when they're jumping you unfairly. I never leave without a little somethin on me.

OMG WHY DIDNT HE KNEE HIM IN THE FACE!

Dont get me wrong . I learned a lot from them but something about the way they taught wasn't right.
Nah you said it all. Them meat heads like to hurt people to show who the alpha dog is. Its not like that in an actual BJJ academy because we realize you need training partners to get better so destroying and demoralizing them isnt good for the environment of the school or the money. You let the people that want to go hard do that and the people that are just there casually to do them.

Okay. Your argument came off too one sided, that's why it was hard to take you seriously.

But, I do have new found respect for BJJ. I could never clown BJJ again.

Just finished my second lesson. This shyt is no joke :whew:

I can already tell it's going to make me crazy strong physically and mentally and I love the technique involved. I'm ready to check my ego, humble myself and stay hungry for knowledge.

All which art is better conversation aside, let's keep this thread going bruhs.
