@Judo Tom, Your exactly right. I guess I've been luck enough to trian at a school that teaches practical BJJ. We don't train to make you tap, we train to break it! but so many schools just teach the moves and not the reality of it. In my BJJ classwe often where MMA gloves so that the person...
The guy who didn't know shit. I think I live in a town where people just like to generely scrap. Like I said I love BJJ and it is very effective but from all of my experience 90% of BJJ experts know the moves and are quite skilled and can control thheir opponent but what do they do when they...
