Treebranch Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 I'd say Grappling Arts. There are plenty of grappling arts that have plenty of strikes in it, so in a way Grappling Arts for the most part are very well rounded.

Drunken Monkey Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 gasp, what you mean that grapplers don't ONLY know how to grapple? and there i thought that they did nothing until they were close enough to grab... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Radok Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 I thought the argument was grappling vs striking, not grappling vs striking vs a guy who does both. If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point. No point in what, you might ask? there's just no point.Many people seem to take Karate to get a Black Belt, rather than getting a Black Belt to learn Karate.

Drunken Monkey Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 the point he made was that all grappling arts train in striking because that's how they enter. not all striking arts train in grappling. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Radok Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 BJJ doesn't train in striking. If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point.

Treebranch Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 That's why BJJ is an incomplete MA.

TJS Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 BJJ doesn't train in striking. Wrong I have a Gracie himself show me several strikes from various positions both standing and on the ground. AS far as BJJ being a complete art, it isint, very few are. there are lots of stlyes that cover most areas of the fight game and do a good job of it. But while BJJ may lack in some areas what it is good at is getting someone into their game. Boxing is far from complete but a boxer will proabably still knockout most guys in a street brawl.

JohnnyS Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 BJJ teaches safe ways how to take someone down and avoid their strikes. In some cases, this involves strikes on behalf of the BJJ'er.

Radok Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I don't think that BJJ teaches strikes. If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point.
