Dude i was going to say the exact same thing earlier re Sleeping Tiger.

But then i thought that BJJ wasn't a debate he would want to get involved in even though the form of the debate is very reminiscent of a Sleeping Tiger debate.

Now that you guys mention it, it kind of reminds me of him. I called him autistic a lot, too.

Also Grits: It's just two nerds of the sports talking about it, it's good to learn as a self-defense system but it'd be better to combine it with other stuff.

And usually the competition types are really stingy and hipster about it, just don't learn from a competition dude.

You are still one of my favorite Rant posters so post more.



Slight thread derail, but did not want to have this discussion continued in the Coastie thread, what are your musical tastes? Hanging out with old hippie dudes is cool,but are you into old hippie dude music?

Couple of real Sherlocks we got here. Same favorite team, same initials, same black/white themed avi.

Straws -- anyone that's willing to read these posts should be able to see you're wrong, even if they know nothing about this topic.

For your own knowledge, in most BJJ gyms the 'sport' aspect is not the sole emphasis. All programs that I've seen integrate real life scenarios into BJJ and teach a full scope approach to self defense -- and of course fighters interested in becoming well rounded practice other disciplines aside from BJJ.

You seem to not grasp the concept that BJJ is a skill within the skill of grappling. Isolating the art for the purpose of mastering it has value.
