anyone trained to be a UFC fighter?

[Enigmaxxx7]

excuse me for my ignorance but whats BJJ stand for?

Brazilian Jui Jitsu.

Do a search on Brazilian Jui Jitsu or Royce Gracie from a search engine you will get plenty of history and information on Jui Jitsu.

 

[monkeyballs]

so brazilian ju-jitsu seems to be pretty dominant, i like submission but hasve heard those bjj are fucking dangerous

Jiu-jitsu is it. And 25 is far from too old. Good luck bro. E-mail me if you have more q's.

I'm currently designing the website for Sean Alvarez. He's Renzo Gracie's best student and is launching a dojo in white plains NY by June 1st. That mother fucker is jacked.

Check out the site if you guys get a chance. www.teamgroundcontrol.com

WRONG!!! Submission fighters always win .....BJJ and shoot fighting. Wrestler only win if they know submissions

LOL! What ignorance.
How about a lot of the top fighters around?. . . Matt Hughes, Matt Lindland, Mark Coleman, Don Frye, Randy Courture, Mark Kerr, Kevin Randallman, Vladimir Medvechenko etc etc etc. . .
How many times have you seen these wrestlers submit people? Ground and Pound can be a very effective fighting style, you don't have to do submissions to win a fight. What's more important is countering submissions.

BTW: If you have any specific questions, feel free to shoot me an email.
I fight professionally, and might be able to point you to some people if you're still having problems finding a place to train.

Huck nailed this one. I've been to several NHB or UFC matches and anytime a fighter was disciplined in BJJ and the other fighter was not, the BJJ fighter won EVERY SINGLE TIME. It didnt matter what the other fighter was trained in or the size difference. This convinced me to take up BJJ 3 years ago. I should complete my black belt soon. My brother got his BJJ black belt about 3 years ago and I will tell you he is a bad mofo. All he had to do was get into a couple of fights and now no one wants to mess with him.

Here's a funny story. I was watching my brother play in a flag football game and I had showed up late and didnt know what the score was. I saw this guy that I know is one of my brother's friends and he is pretty swole up. So I asked him what the score was. He said he didnt know. I said "well go ask D" and he said "MAN FUCK YOU, I'M NOT ASKING HIM SHIT. THAT DUDE IS LIABLE TO JUST PUT ME IN A CHOKE HOLD JUST FOR INTERRUPTING HIM." He didnt know I was his brother. I thought it was funny. He was scared to even ask him a question.

What school are you out of? There are only a handful of guys who have gotten to brown that quickly, I can't help but call BS here, not even BJ got his BB in 3. One of the great things about BJJ is it's a small community, and difficult to BS here.

Best student? You ever heard of Mat Serra?

That kinda jumped out at me too.
