    Default What is your Opinion ?

    Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to me is one of the best ways to learn how to fight on the Ground but (What is your Opinion on the following questions?):

    1-BJJ is it a MA or a Sport?
    2-Is it effective in the streets?
    3-How would you fight more then one Person with you BJJ skills?
    4-In competitions such as UFC would you think grabbling would be the best way to win if the fighters were allowed to do what is consider a UN legal technique such as a kick in the groin or strike the eyes?

    I hope to hear what you think?

    It's both.

    2-Is it effective in the streets?

    Yes

    3-How would you fight more then one Person with you BJJ skills?

    The same way you fight multiple people with any other skills. Move-strike-throw-escape.

    4-In competitions such as UFC would you think grabbling would be the best way to win if the fighters were allowed to do what is consider a UN legal technique such as a kick in the groin or strike the eyes?

    If those techniques were legal then the BJJ guys would win even more than they do now. It's much easier to do those "dirty" techniques when you have positional dominance.
    Jiu-Jitsu - like chess, except you get to choke people.

    Something you'd think would be common sense, but yet so many people seem to think that it's the other way around...

    The only time BJJ was clearly a dominate force in NHB was when all those things where still allowed. (Yes, fighters have evolved since then. But the point is that if defeating BJJ was as simple as a few "dirty" tricks that would never have happened. Keith Hackney would have been undefeated )
