Look BJJ as a self defence art sucks dick. I want to see a BJJ person in a street fight with more than one attacker. itd just be funny to watch them take one to the ground and get pummeled by the other attackers.
BJJ as a sport kicks ass. BJJ for fitness Kicks ass. and thats why it will turn into bullshido. Its already half way there.
At least in Australia theres still some sort of spirit that goes with BJJ. By the sounds of what I have read on this forum. BJJ as a whole is already reaching MC dojo status
Im not trying to say what style is best or anything like that. im just anoyed about BJJ being regaurded as the supreme MA.
I realize im gonna get flamed for this but hey. its about time someone said something about it. its in the back of everyones mind. but noone wants to admit it.
:bully: :violent1:
And i know Im just a n00b on bullshido but i dont give a ****. n00bs have a fucken right to post and express opinions as well. :owneddanc

Well sir, as I respect your right to randomly post a subject that has been covered in much greater detail, with a much more intellegent perspective, by much more intellegent people let me be one of many to say...

SERCH FUNKSHUN NUB!

Now with that out of the way. Let me respond.

First of all BJJ has a much higher quality control measures than any other martial art system currently popular. Simply put, belts are earned not given away. You cannot achieve rank without being able to perform. And its representation in the military, law enforcement, self defense programs in ADDITION to combat sport dominance certainly attests to this fact.

Second, BJJ does no better or no worse against the famed 'multiple opponent' scenario than stand up arts. 5 on 1 the chances are you are going to lose whether you are a BJJ expert, Boxing expert, Kenpo expert, or whatever. Just in case you were wondering, stand up arts fare no different than grapplers when out numbered.

The STRENGTH of BJJ in comparision to stand up arts is that they CAN fight when knocked down. A stand up-only fighter is woefully out of their depth. I will dumb it down for you. BJJ prepares you for the worst case scenario : You got jumped by a bigger, stronger opponent and knocked to the ground. You are in an inferior position and getting beat down. If you are prepared to deal with that (as BJJ is) than everything else is going to be gravy.

Now, as previously posted in another thread (already linked) I have questioned some assumptions we make about belts, styles, and ability. But if you read it carefully I do not simply slam BJJ and say it is going to become bullshido.

Unfortunately you come off as an uneducated, uninformed, novice poster unable to make a persuasive arguement.

Try again, nub.

thank you for your reply it was very educational. did you read the part in the thread where i attempted to put my point across so then the much smarter and greater people such as yourself could understand?? Yes I know that it has been discussed many times. as many people have mentioned already. thank you for informing me. In fact i think it was a thread of yours that made me think about it all. did you read all of the thread. it couldnt have taken to long for an educated person such as yourself.
I love your spelling kudos to you.

Oh and one more thing. Traditional Karate was once controlled with the belt system. Now In Australia they have things like Go Kan Ryu. The martial arts that doorknock to get membership.
Tae Kwan Do once controlled in belts system. Now 3 years study handed over black belt. what makes you think BJJ isnt gonna be next?

I let my replies talk for me at throwdowns.

Let me know when you make one, and you and I can debate the merits of each other's fightintg style where it matters.

Other than that, you are another idiot on bullshido with an agenda, Kempo boy.

This is as much a fallacy as "You can use the same motions from the kata on the ground!" Standing armlocks and chokes are, for example, legal in Judo, but they are also extremely rare, because controlling someone standing is different from controlling someone on the ground...

As long as BJJ doesn't narrow its scope of activities like judo did, things will never be that bad.

Judoka still mantain a high level of skill, for THEIR limited field, though more dojos' are now branching out, thanks to BJJ.

It will never reach the level of Mcdojoism and Bullshido that the vast majority of "too deadly for sport" arts have fallen into.

Stoopid NoOb

You are incorrect. TRADITIONAL Karate did NOT have the belt system. The belt system was created by Jigoro Kano, Judo Founder, and was IMPORTED in to GENDAI (MODERN) Karate. You had to EARN you belt in Judo the same way as you have to do in BJJ. If you are a BJJ BB you should be able to hold your own against other BB and OWN lower belts like Blues and Purples. The fact that live rolling and competition is a big part of the art is going to keep it on the up and up more than so called "traditional" arts.

Ever notice how things like Boxing, Wrestling, and Muay Thai don't succumb to complete BS? Thats because to call ourself a Boxer, Wrestler, etc means you are expected (or if retired was excepted) to pit your skills against another person, most times a complete stranger.

In terms of BJJ not working against mulitple attackers: I'd love to see the best fighter zenbukankempokarate has against 1) Royce Gracie 2) Wanderlei Silva 3) Mike Tyson, all at once. I wonder how well they would do? How well would your fucking sensei do against those guys dude? Not so well. Fighting off mulitple attackers can only work when those attackers are less trained and weaker than you, and you have luck on your side. That's it. I myself have 'used' BJJ against multiple attackers. Against 3 guys. They were half my size, but they wanted to start something anyway. I didnt go to the ground with them. But my BJJ came in to play because I DIDN"T go to the ground. You see sweetheart, a grappler knows how to stay standing better than a non-grappler (someone who has no exposure to a grappling art). And with multiple attackers, you better know how to defend yourself in a clinch, because unless they don't want to fight, they're going to be bullrushing you, and your phoenix knuckle ain't gonna do **** Doris.

Exactly! Even though Judo narrowed its focus it still has the same quality control. If you claim to be a high ranked Judoka* you better be able to demostrate it on the mat or risk the wrath of those who actually put in the blood, sweat, and tears to earn their belt.

*I am speaking of an active practioner here. I understand if you did earn the rank then for whatever reason took time off or stopped training. However if you want to suit up and strut around you better still be able to back it up.
