BJJ or Judo?

Ok, Rickson Gracie against a random selection of Judo Black Belts isn't exactly a fair contest. He's, one of, if not the best BJJ fighters around. Let him go against people of comparable skill and experience like Yoshida and see how he does. Most of the ground work in BJJ is based on Judo techniques.

Not suprising that Rickson could tap one black belt after another. Everyone knows the ground work in BJJ is far superiour to Judo.

I don't know why I get involved in these coversations, but I do. So, as it has been said a hundred times the practitioner is more important than the art. I don't think BJJ is better on the ground than Judo. The problem is that so few Judo people pay much attention to ground work.

[MrPoopy]

I wouldn't blame a Judo practitioner if they had bad ground work. I'd take a look at their instructor. Some teach good ground skills, others don't hardly teach anything.

Exactly.

My mom is a 3rd degree master in Judo from the Phillipines. She's 53 now and hasn't practiced since 25-30 years ago, but she constantly reminds me that the most important thing to get out of any martial art is discipline. It will last you your entire life.

Ok I am sorry but fight is just retarted.... Nither of them knows anything about fighting and they would both get their ass kicked by anyone who has any grappling experience at all. Not to mention their were sooooo many moment with both that little kid and that big kid could have thrown one good uppercut or one good knee and the whoel thing would have been over
