why bjj wouldn't work on the streets of new york!

first of all lets state the obvious theres to much dupree for ground fighting, secondly new yoork street thugs roll in packs so while your trying to
choke the other guy out his five budies are stomping the hell out of you so all you bjj guys who say your style is the best simply because it works in the rings better look at it in another aspect.

Before you can beat up two people, you have to be able to beat up one.

Water Dragon is correct. Furthermore, before you can expect rational replies to your topic, you should learn to break up your question into grammatical sentences. It won't hurt to utilize appropriate capitalization, correct spelling, and non-trolling topics.

Here's how (except for the non-trolling topics)

"First of all, let's state the obvious; there's too much debris for ground fighting. Secondly, New York street thugs roll in packs, so while you're trying to choke the other guy out his five buddies are stomping the hell out of you. So, all you bjj guys who say your style is the best simply because it works in the ring had better look at it in another environment."

I grade this effort an F overall. In addition to the writing issues already mentioned, your argument is a straw man. This means that no-one except for trolls claims bjj is invincible or the best option for fighting in all situations.

Please see me after class, to arrange a parent teacher conference. I'm very worried about your academic progress.

Is anyone else here continually amazed at the numerous people here on the board who can obviously handle groups of thugz with apparent ease?

Doug Maverick:

According to your profile, you registered in october of 2000, which means you've been here for over a year. So, there's no excuse for not ever having noticed the ten zillion other people who have made this point before you.

I've never had any problems with groups of thugz, Water Dragon. But then, I live in a relatively nice part of town and don't go looking for trouble. One time a few years ago I was downtown when a bunch of rowdy fratboys started harassing an attractive young woman with 'alternative' fashion. I was with a friend at the time, and we both removed our glasses and approached saying something like 'Can't you see she wants to be left alone?' In no time, a group of passers-by had gathered saying things like 'yeah!' 'Go make trouble somewhere else.' The idiots laughed and made tracks. That's as close as I've ever gotten to multiple opponents or a streetfight, and as close as I ever care to get, honestly. I imagine most folks on here are no different, just a few like to have fun trolling.

Naw, I think some people really believe it's a cake walk. Multiple opponents are no joke. I had three guys put me in the hospital once. People can hurt you bad if they want to.

" why bjj wouldn't work on the streets of new york!"

-cause grappling VS colapsing buildings would not work! :D
sorry if anyone is offended by this bad, bad joke. :rolleyes:

F*ck you!
you morbid pr*ck!

well, doug, there you have it. unless you can prove that you're infinitely better at handling mobs of street thugs than is BJJ, you're really just making an arse of yourself.

i know where i'm putting my money.

I remember reading a story about Ron Van Clief (Is it his name?... The old guy who was beatten by Royce Gracie in one of the first UFC) It was said that he once defeated 5 or 6 guys at the same time in a street fight in New York...It was in the late sixties or early seventies. He was a karate guy! He still is,I dont know!

BTW, Defending against a gang of thugs is surely not funny business and this count for anybody.It is the only true "ultimate" test someone could face with his fighting art.You can be lucky,or unlucky.That's it.
