So we agree?

"It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who

are willing to endure pain with patience."


"Lock em out or Knock em out"

you are both right, but looking from different perspectives, since you train different things. Venezolano has striking experience. But, if he can't handle the guy, he's gonna take him down. He's a bjj guy, so he knows how to get back up efficiently, and he knows how to break quickly.

 

you do traditional jj and prefer stand up grappling. both have their advantages and faults, obviously. But you do agree on the fact that you should be well rounded.

 

Now, as far as specializing goes, that doesn't mean you're not well rounded. I've been striking for 20 years. I've only been doing grappling, (stand up and ground) for a total of about 4. Obviously, my specialty is striking. But, I know how to grapple also. Specialization is cool as long as you know how to handle other ranges. that still makes you well rounded.

Yes Seven Star is right.

 

You can be well rounded but you always will have a prefference, to strike or to grapple..

 

for example look at Vanderlei Silva, he recently got his BJJ black belt, althought many of us haven't seen him on working on the ground since las Pride GP, but he prefers to strike, he fells more confortable there...
