anytime i've seen multiple guys gang up on one guy, the multiples have wanted to bring the one guy to the ground. why shouldn't they? in this position they could do the stomping and kicking that you speak of. Also, i can't see how being a STRIKER!! instead of a grappler would in any way help you to not get taken down by multiple attackers.

cross that's ok, i agree with you, first thing i want to do in a multiple attackers situation is run, or leave of that situation fastest possible. And if i have no chance, of course, i would try to keep on my feet, but many times those guys are going to grab you, and take you down, so if you know how to grapple, you can have a possibilitie of escape.

 

I agree with this statement you made, but there are many grappling arts that will work well in this situation.

If you can sense the trouble before your attackers decide they want to take you to the ground then you can hit them. Rather than take THEM to the ground which is according to you, the position they want you to be in.

BJJ has best groundwork, so my first option would be this.

 

of course there are other grappling arts, you have Judo for example, etc

why is everyone taking this so wrong?

 

no one said that being a striker is SUPERIOR.

 

i only submitted the mutiple attacker scenario to point to the one-on-one nature of bjj.

 

ok, let's try this in very simple terms.

 

for grapplers:

 

when you engage an opponent you grapple.

 

i.e get close and control.

 

this takes x amount of time.

 

for strikers:

 

engaging an opponent is entering and hitting.

 

this takes less than x amount of time (possibly).

 

the basic reasoning is that against multiple attackers, you engage many times but against a different person.

 

you can do this because the exchanges are a lot quicker (assuming you can put the guy down to the floor) and so, still standing, you simply move from one target to another.

 

as a grappler, the moment you decide to engage, you are 'tied' to that one person.

 

you don't have the freedom to escape from that immediate engagement.

 

this is why treebranch and i say that bjj is primarily a one-on-one art (which Venezolano agrees with).

 

there are many other little things that reinforce this but i think the basic premise is sound.

 

as usual, i ask that if you disagree,

 

feel free to tear my post apart.

listen the gracies is nothing but hype. when every the media says somebodies good you fools always fall for it. they did the same thing with lebron james of nba, the rock of wwe, roy jones jr of boxing, bob sapp (eeck) of K-1 despite how many times that guy loses japan will still think he is the greatest martial artist of k-1 if you can call him a martial artist. hype thats whats been running this world watch give it about five years and a bigger and better hype would blow the gracies out of the water and nobody would remember them.

it's kinda hard not to know the guys who gave the world bjj.

 

maybe one day, you will say something that has actual substance.

 

it's easy to say that the gracies are nothing but hype but can you actually back that up?

 

give a little detailed explaination to your statement maybe?

 

without the ability to support yout points, you will forever be the nine year old kid who wishes he could be goku.
