JIUJITSUFIGHTER

luta livre is similar to bjj but it is its rival, its a combination of bjj,judo,wrestling,boxing etc...

you can completely prevent cauliflower ear by wearing cauliflower ear and i have gotten it before, very ugly. but for some people its uncomfortable to wear and in some places (brazil) it shows than your tough, if you have cauliflower ear. noone is stopping you from wearing ear protection, but most people just don't until they get their ears drained( of blood cause by broken vessels) and they learn their lesson.

very true johnny boy, bjj is an amzing style and i can name a few non-brazilians who in fact are also excellent fighters. why train in anti-grappling and such, as in karate for example, when you can understand how grappling works. if you train in grappling you will learn the set-ups for takedowns and than you will be able to predict a takedown and than you will have the training(bjj) to prevent the takedown from happening. the bottom line is ,if you learn how grappling works and learn a minimal amount of it than you will be better equipped to defend against it.
