Treebranch Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 Kirves the idea is to be well rounded. If you study a well rounded MA's that's based on realistic situations you'll be O.K. We train to defend ourselves, escape, maim, kill, subdue etc.. I think the more you know the better and I think you missed the point of my statement. A fight in the ring is controlled, the other person's intention is to win. The intentions of an attacker are unknown and he may be carrying a weapon or have friends waiting to jump you. So I prefer to train for those situations. Don't get me wrong I respect ring fighters, but just because it works in the ring doesn't mean diddly squat to me.

wrestlingkaratechamp Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 BJJ is better because I heard that 90% at all streetfights land on the ground.
goshinman Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 BJJ is better because I heard that 90% at all streetfights land on the ground. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Run for your lives, it's the dreaded "90% of all streetfights end up on the ground" sham again. Tapped out, knocked out, or choked out...Take your pick.http://jujitsu4u.com/http://www.combatwrestling.com/http://gokor.com/
TJS Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 BJJ is better because I heard that 90% at all streetfights land on the ground. I heard that 99% of them start standing up.
goshinman Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 I heard that 99% of them start standing up. Yep. But still not an excuse not to train for the ground as you well know. Tapped out, knocked out, or choked out...Take your pick.http://jujitsu4u.com/http://www.combatwrestling.com/http://gokor.com/
TJS Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 I heard that 99% of them start standing up. Yep. But still not an excuse not to train for the ground as you well know. Yes I agree 100% ...the fact is alot of fights do go to the ground at one point... but i dont think 90% do.
cross Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 Actually most fights end in the first 3-5 seconds. Doesnt give you much time to be rolling around on the ground.
TJS Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 Actually most fights end in the first 3-5 seconds. Doesnt give you much time to be rolling around on the ground. If your assuming you fighting someone who is not larger than you and/or someone who can not take punishment and has no fight experince alot of fight may end quickly but dont always expect to face someone who will drop the first tiem you hit them. I see some fights end in a few seconds and i see other go on for several minutes..depends on who is fighintg.

I think he was referring to the fact that most times and attacker will only throw a few swings before losing interest. Paladin - A holy beat down in the name of God!
cross Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 Partly true Warp. Also if they see you put up a good defence of a ready to fight they may leave you alone.
