I'm lucky that my inauguration into BJJ was at a completely open minded school. Everyone willingly helps everyone else and the chief instructor welcomes other grapplers and martial artists in and will often pick their brains trying to learn things from them. He started training with Judo guys who come occasionally to sharpen their newaza because he felt it would benefit his sweep and takedown game.

I've been to other BJJ schools and have found only one that is even slightly close to the open learning enviornment found at my school. I drive an hour and a half each way to attend because despite my efforts, I've found no school nearly as high quality in providing a caring, yet highly competitive learning enviornment.

The seems to tame the killing machine wannabes. They either disappear or adopt the general attitude. It's like being a member of a BJJ commune.

[Kane Fan]

maybe Judo guys have a possative effect on BJJ guys cus the place I go to is CJJ (no gi BJJ) and they have a Judo guy or three that come in fairly regularly and it's really open

Just to add some fuel to the fire:

Aikido GM vs Karate BB/BJJ Purple Belt

I can't confirm the validity of anything in the video, but a guy has to wonder how in the fuck he got his 200-0 record in "MMA/Vale Tudo" LOL.

He obviously can't take a shot to the face.

He beat up a dork. Big whoop. Maybe he should kick the crap out of some guy in a wheelchair as an encore.

lol. I made a new thread regarding this vid. Yeah, the old dude looks like he's about 65 years old.

Regarding the Steven Seagal defending himself against students, it looks more like drills than freefighting. The "students" all seem very skilled in breakfalling, and I'll bet that both Steven and each student knows which techniques are going to be used for the "attack" and "counter" before they actually do the drills, and the students know exactly which breakfall to use.

Thats why I feel that Aikido is very suckful if it attempts to give the student reality based mindsets. too structured. good if you want to learn Aikido, but not if you want to learn self defense. just like video games and skills are good for hobby, not for actual war.

 

[jerichohill]

Chuck Norris would kill the Segal Lama. Plain and simple!

 

[Kane Fan]

I dunno, not to be flipant but really, playing video games is going to be a great way to train for war eventually
not far frm that now
