I practice Xing Y and Chen Taiji. I try to see all the possibilities of applications. BUT, when I see the BJJ folk, I see myself being able to handle myself fairly well while on two feet. Then if they happen to take me to the ground, it looks like it would be over fairly quickly for me.
Mind you, I don’t mind having expertise in BJJ, but I don’t want to spend 4-6 hours a week with my face in another man’s crotch or armpit. And then there is the Ringworm and Staff infection thing.

All my years in Judo and then the few years I spent in BJj and not ONE infection or anything.

Yep because tai chi and bagua have proven themselves great stand-up arts…anyway to your inane ramping post

If you have skills, why not just develop your own techniques for ground fighting. Every system has something that can apply to the ground if you take it seriously. Japanese jiujitsu has everything you need for ground fighting, and most any system will have. You just need to look at it closely and determine what you can use there and how to apply it most effectively.

That was how I developed my ground skill with my ex-grilfriend (she is a BJJ instructor now).

If I get myself killed by a beautiful girl in ground game, I will have a big smile on my face on my way to heaven.
