"His ground game was different, and included open guard, mount, knee on stomach, crossbody,etc,"
Sounds kind of like positions trained in bjj. That’s because there are only so many body positions. I bet the join locks Suwanda uses are similar to the ones in bjj too, because there are only so many way to break people joints. So whether you call it silat or bjj or "benjang" If your really rolling it's gonna be pretty similar. The problem with Silat is that I have never seen nor heard of any silat people rolling.
"bjj is great at one on one, that's it, and unfortunately, not many one on ones happen these days."
If there is a magic art out there that will allow you to wipe the floor with many people at once please tell me cause I'd like to know. Aikido maybe? |
