“The greatest thing about Jiu-Jitsu is that it works for anyone who is willing to learn the techniques. The whole philosophy is completely unique to any other martial art I have ever encountered. Most people have the hardest time letting go of what they think fighting should be: Speed, and strength. In Brazilian style Jiu-Jitsu, one can perform all the moves on anyone. No matter what the size or speed of the opponent facing you, one can control and defeat them if they use pure technique. The first thing my trainer ever told me, is not to muscle your way around, but to squeeze, and squeeze toward you center.”
Gosh, this almost sounds like some Taiji chi wanker kind of stuff.

I feel that if you are willing to learn any art and learn it correclty it will work for you not just BJJ

Speed and strength are the two main factors in fighting techniques is also a main factor, however 2 people with the same techniques the quicker one will always win.

this is not true. I watched a match with a BJJ guy that was outsized and outweighed and by a wrestler he could not mount his opponent , he was too big, he also could not get out form underneath he weighed far more than the bjj guy to this is true to a point but not 100%

Athletic attributes (strength, speed, power, endurance) all matter.
Brainwashing and unrealistic techniques can also be found in the BJJ community.
perhaps he is Yumcha (correct me if im wrong) is speaking of you saying one art being better than another… its no the art that matters its how you train it.

"The greatest thing about Jiu-Jitsu is that it works for anyone who is willing to learn the techniques.
this is true for ALL MA not just JJ so it sounds biased and one sided
The whole philosophy is completely unique to any other martial art I have ever encountered.

THIS is also not true
so as you can see I personally read this thread and said JJ is a great art no doubt, but its not the be all and end all of arts… it might work for you, but not for all… just sayin
The BJJ is taking the short cut. If you are not a striker, you take your opponent down ASAP so your opponent’s striking skill won’t give you any problem. The problem for this approach is no matter how good you are with your ground skill, you will never be a good striker. It’s better to “cross train” than to put all your eggs in one basket.
MA involves kick, punch, lock, throw, ground game, short weapon, long weapon, throwing weapon, … The ground game is only a subset of all MA.

When something is in quotes it means someone else wrote or said it. In this case it came from the link I provided.

Huh? What are you talking about? The only time Griffin fought “a Gracie” was on the Law and Order TV show.
