Dont you relise you’ve been conned?you all seem to think that if you do BJJ you can actually defend yourself and your the only one that knows anything about MA.What happens when you run into someone that can actually defend themselves?or someone that can actually fight?Don’t you know that know no real martial artist would let you anywhere near them so you could get them on the ground? and if you think they would your delusional.theres nothing wrong with BJJ as such but you need to learn to defend yourself or fight then learn to fight on the ground.And if there was an honest BJJ instructer out there they would tell you this?Only a fool goes to the ground unless they have to,but it does happen.But dont you really think it’s better not to go there in the first place?Now be honest dont just say yes because thats what you where told.i do realise of course that everyone who does BJJ(and i have-im an exception to the rule only brown.) thinks they know all and noone else knows anything.
PS>when i don BJJ it was unheard of and it was still real.mid-late 70s
JA2-im sure you dont have to be to smart to realise most people would think your a f/head
And if thats your opinion you should go back and look at some of your answers.you f/head.give constructive critisism if you have to bump your gums.

BJJ is only good for one on one fights……..It is not usefull in self defennse.
As with all grappling styles, BJJ is not really suitable for self defence. It is good for sport fighting i.e UFC etc. I don’t think it really needs to be said either… There isn’t much point to this question/lecture, just your own personal opinions/ramblings…
I don’t have a clue what BJJ is, but I can tell you a fact of life.
No matter how good you are at fighting, either street or using self defense techniques, there is always some one out there that’s better than you .
The best way to fight against a ‘hard’ style is using a ’soft’ style. And the best way to fight against a ’soft’ style is use to a ‘hard’ style.
A hard style is the kick, punch, break bones method. The soft style would be something along the lines of Judo.
I know a form of both. I’ve beaten people with them and been beaten by them, (in competitions), so I’ve had bruises and bumps to show off and proudly wear.
Got to learn how to do stand up fighting, and group fighting with take downs, and weapons.
I am not going to use this forum to discuss why BJJ is effective or why it isn’t effective either in real life situations or as far as UFC is concerned. Rather that do that, I will try to answer your original question and ignore your rambling philosophy (to which I agree to a great deal, actually).
It seems that in martial arts, just as in every other aspect of society, there are fads. In this, something grows extremely popular for a while due to many different factors, such as film, sports, or television, or something else entirely.
In the 70’s “kung fu” (Chinese Boxing) was all the rage, then in the 80’s, ninjas were cool, then enter the 90’s with TKD gaining such popularity that now instead of just soccer moms, we also have TKD moms. These days, it seems that BJJ, Muay Thai, and MMA is the current fad.
People who follow trends never stick it out to become life-long learners. People who are life-long learners shouldn’t mind the fads one way or another anyway.
The Gracies made it popular in MMA fighting. It is good for groundfighting, I prefer to keep my feet under me.
I know that most street fights end up on the ground, but this is because, most street fighters don’t know what they are doing.
Also remember that ALL fights start out standing up. You want to win without going to the ground if possible. If it does go to the ground, you want to have inflicted injuries on your enemy before that happens.
If the foght isn’t 1 on 1, you difinitely don’t want to be on the ground.
Well.. I did ju jitsu before and my instructor did point out that it requires a combination of another art of the hard style to make it complete. So when you’re in quite a distance from your opponent you could use hard style and when you’re in close range that’s when ju jitsu and brazilian ju jitsu comes in. Guess what? I’m able to defeat most of my opponent with my instructor advice.
