The whole arguement is just like the beginnings of jiu-jitsu. Everbody said that you didn't have to be in shape or strong to use jiu-jitsu effectively...which is true...unless you go up against someone who IS strong and in shape...and also knows jiu-jitsu. 'Nuff said.

.................ok i'll agree with you being in good condition does help....but if i go to a jujustu class i want to learn jujustu, not do pushups for half an hour.........the more time spend on accual material, the faster you learn, the faster you learn the faster you will become a better fighter.
have you seen a systema practice or taken part in one? doesn't sound like you have. Jujustu is not Systema....OR a ring sport.
