About as “fair” as having the standup guy do a ground fighting only match.
Exactly…FINALLY WE AGREE

The most fair way is to have all ranges.
The most fair way is to have all ranges.
the most fair and realistic.
[QUOTE=hskwarrior;1055405]Perhaps because both systems have take downs but staying on the ground would be UNFAIR and an UNEVEN match. shoot, i’ve love to see BJJ vs TCMA minus the rolling on the ground. it would be fair and just and the best fight would win. but its like a two legged person fighting a one legged one. LOL[/QUOTE]
how was that fair, BJJ is a ground fighting art with some takedowns, CLF is a striking art, how is making the fight a striking only event fair?
Its like putting in the CLF guy in a grappling only match and calling that fair…afterall both styles have takedowns right:rolleyes

I agree again. but we know its not the case YET.

WTF? Can the SF 49’ers beat the newly crowned WORLD CHAMPS SF GIANTS at baseball? would that be a fair game?

yeah you got that right. Both styles have takedowns. however while one style’s specialty is laying on his back the others is standing on his feet. unless there is an even balance between the two there will never be a happy medium. APPLES AND ORANGES. so when you roll your eyes at everything make sure they don’t get stuck in the position. LMAO

this is fighting not two different sports, if you dont want to allow a range of fighting thats fine but dont pretend its not handicapping a guy who specializes in that range

there is a hapy medium, its called MMA and it usually goes something like this:
"hey you start in that corner and ill start in this, ill try to take you down and beat you up on the ground you try to stop me and beat me standing, hows that for fair?

If your art is standing but you can’t keep someone from taking you down, something is seriously lacking in your standing art.

Dale has opened the REAL can of worms and those worms are cannibals !!

LMAO…MMA is sports fighting. BJJ is also apart of SPORTS fighting.
this is why you don’t see baseball playing against football teams. Real fighting is not a sport. real fighting has no ring, gloves, ref’s a time limit, rounds. We’re talking about sports fighting.
If your art is standing but you can’t keep someone from taking you down, something is seriously lacking in your standing art.
and if you can’t stand up and defend yourself on your feet then there is something seriously lacking in your rolling around on the floor. we can go back and forth like this for days. it is what it is.

LoL I must be a mind reader as i saw this coming a mile off, just out of interest did anyone else think it was just a matter of time before the real fighting argument reared its head?

Umm… no. If you are a ground specialist and that is where you do your damage, that’s exactly what you want to be doing- bringing the fight to the ground.
If you are a standup specialist, your goal should be to keep someone from taking you down.

BJJ is multi-dimensional. There is the pure grappling aspect, there is the MMA aspect, there is the vale tudo aspect, and there is the street aspect.
