L&E, you say you're sick of BJJ & MMA guys bashing traditional martial arts, but then you come on here and bash BJJ & MMA with an even dumber argument than that of most TMA bashers?

Seriously, no one ever wins an argument like this on the internet so don't even try, but in the words of Rorny Gracie, even if you do, "You're still a retard!"

If you're facing more than one opponent it is FAR MORE likely you will end up on the ground whether you like it or not, as they will bombard you and knock you over while you lie on your back wondering where your third hand went when you needed it to get them all in wrist locks!

I will say if you think using techniques & skills in BJJ are about "muscling your way into the mount or choke or whatever" then you obviously don't know much about BJJ, cause anyone who does is lacking in skill!

Please don't start flaming me for what I have said cause I'm only attempting to be mildly humorous, not insulting!

BTW, I agree with what Roland said! You will generally find BJJ & MMA fighters/practitioners have a high fitness level, unlike Aikidokas who are often fat or otherwise unfit due to a higher priority on theory/tradition & spirituality!
