God forbid YOU lose your balance just by accident. When people clinch in a "free" environment, like a regular fight, chances are someone will lose their balance.
In boxing, that's not allowed for too long a time. No thanks, I'll just use my strikes and end it quick.Ĭlick to expand.Without instant knockout or demoralisation for him to stop the fight, when punching or kicking an opponent. Even if I was the top BJJ'er out there, why would I want to take a street fight to the ground and struggle against someone that could have a pocket knife and be striking at my vitals while I work him for chokes. (something he used to do all the time to say BJJ was better than other styles that had minimal ground work)īJJ is king in the cage, not in real fights. Hughes has a great ground game and Gracie couldn't work him down and pound him like someone with no ground game. Experience only matters when you can force it upon your opponent.
#DIRTY FIGHTING MOVES DRIVER#
It's like a champion race car driver behind the wheel of a very crappy car against a new driver with a great speed car. The arm-chair master and mysticism of martial knowledge and experience doesn't mean anything when you fight someone that has you beat in speed and power. That fight set a new precedent in the martial arts community. Knowing the techniques isn't everything, physical conditioning is so much more. Look at Tito Ortiz! Look what happened to Gracie when he went against Hughes. Even the stand-out UFC ground guys have a wicked striking game. You have to use a stand-up striking approach on the street, rely on JJ if it goes to the ground (which will rock for you). and you aren't in a position to engage anyone else that wants to jump into the fight. you don't want someone bleeding all over you either. They will target your groin, eyes and throat. In the street, they won't be working their position or grabbing at your wrist. I can wait all day while you choke me with one forearm. When you are working a choke, a smart adversary will grab your other wrist to prevent you from locking the choke in. I guess alot of guys are frustrated at pure BJJ guys that focus on nothing but it, striking is secondary at best, and everything is "ground and pound" to sound tough. But there are so many negatives for taking a street fight to the ground that I would rather be standing up and bash the opponent's brains out with my fists, feet, elbows, and knees. This is a huge reason people start into martial arts, self defense.Ĭertainly knowing JJ will only help you in the UFC and on the street. The arguement is about street self defense. Other people aren't saying that JJ is crap, we know it rocks everything in UFC, but the arguement is that it is better to be a standing striker in a street confrontation instead of shooting someone to the ground. You will work from the mount, guard, or side and that works great for UFC rules because when you try to work on an opponent you blatently expose vitals that are considered illegal in the rules. The controversy in this is that in JJ you are trying to work a position.
