I think it's helpfull to understand the philosophy of the Straight Blast Gym. It mirrors my own and will naturally mirror ANYONE's who has or is training wrestling, BJJ, muay Thai, boxing or any other "ALIVE" art.
That's REALLY what has made BJJ so effective. As such, that art will ALWAYS have a place in any "Alive" fighter's arsenal.
I'm sure many of you already understand what is meant by the term "alive". IF not, find out about it NOW! It will change the way you train forever-more!
Good training to all!

i found when i put on the gloves and combines no rules with bjj. i remember taking a few shots while just concentrating strictly on bjj. i definitly need to work on my stand up but bjj and my groundwork was far more superior than my oppenents. his stand up game was far mor superior. i remember as i continued on my bjj ways, i left myself open to shots. however, as he continued his striking, he left himself open and vulnerable to bjj attacks. hence, i was able to sweep and armlock. i love bjj and think it is the best martial arts around. i have respect for all martial arts but this what i prefer, this is what i know, this is what i love.
