We receive many emails and comments on our You Tube page. About 95% of them are positive and constructive. There is however, that 5% that isn't.
Most of the negative comments are by those who either don't understand jiu jitsu or can't separate sport jiu jitsu from self defense jiu jitsu. It's funny really.
Most of them sound like this: "I'd do this or that, I have a free hand. I can slam you, I can bite you..."
zzzzzzzz...oh sorry..nodded off there for a bit.
Yes...some moves you could. As we have ALWAYS said "Don't confuse ring (sport) for street and vice versa!" Some things that work in one arena won't work in another.
The problem is, many of these people don't take the time to READ our website and what we are about. They make assumptions without taking the time to really think.
If a move isn't working for us, we'll tweak it. We'll take and use stuff from others. Jiu Jitsu is always evolving and there is a lot of good stuff out there.
We started our site to give you options. What works for us won't always work for you. No move works on all people all the time. If you think so, you already limited in your fighting strategy, be in on the mat or in the street.
