i know how bias everyone is toward other arts, other than the ones that win in ufc. but, i must voice my opinion on this. yes, i study bjj, and i love it, but i have also seen grappling from indonesia, called bemjang, which is more vicious, than bjj, also, in china, there is a ground fighting art that i never saw before.i have recently met a hsing yi master from china, who i could not touch, one hit, and you are in serious pain. yes, he lacks serious ground skills, but he is in such a low stance to start out, he can move frrly while in a super low stance, and he is now my teacher. hell, i will learn whatever i can. also, at the inosonto academy, i had heard of herman suwanda, tapping bjj blackbelts, using silat. problem is this, in ufc, we start out across from each other, and boxing and thai, are safe ways to close the gap, also wing chun is good. but no good wing chun guys ever enter. vitor belfort runs across the ring, boxing someone into the fence, this is the same in wing chun, i dont know why nobody ever uses that technique. it closes the gap, and forces the opponent to grab, then you use your bjj. anyway, ever see paulie zink, the monkey guy? how do you fight him, that low to the ground,and able to kick above his head, in a full squat, its bizarre. also, street fight are quick,and if you had many real street fights, you know how few of them are 1on 1, and how little time you have to do bjj. i have had maybe only one fight that was 1on1,and bjj served me well, but in a few brawls, other arts saved my ass. also, 10 yrs ago, people laughed at muey thai, and said we dont need that, we have bjj. well look now. next it will be another art. also, those who insult other arts, i have seen some arts that i hate, save peoples asses in a fight. so what if it doesnt beat a bjj guy. how often are you attacked by a bjj guy on the street? and the weapon defense stinks in bjj. so as much as i love it,and train it, this is not brazil, where theres a hundred people watching a fight on the beach,and stopping everyone from jumping in. again, i love bjj, but its not the end all art
