SenseiMike Posted August 16, 2005 Author Posted August 16, 2005 "Why belong to any federation at all? BJJ has no governing body, and it's doing well.It also has maintained its integrity without a federation. Won't find many BJJ McDojos!"I don't know about that, for one, I've seen a lot of McDojo's that are part of federations, heck, I'd wager that some organizations are nothing more than McFederations. You can become a great fighter without ever becoming a martial artist, but no sir, you can not become a great martial artist with out becoming a great fighter. To fight is most certainly not the aim of any true martial art, but they are fighting arts all the same. As martial artists, we must stand ready to fight, even if hoping that such conflict never comes.-My response to a fellow instructor, in a friendly debate
