Another Reason I Hate the Gracies

[Crazed Rabbit]

Vuk earlier in this thread;

GJJ is ill-suited for civilian life-saving measures for the save reasons as the military. It is far too limited and ground-fighting gets you killed when there are multiple attackers. The Gracies still try to sell their style as well suited for self-defense, and particularly for small men and women.

The truth is that the average violent criminal is a man. Women are on average a lot smaller and less physically capable than men. The average man needs to learn a lot less to defend himself against the average man than the average woman would. As such, a class specifically designed for women should be far more intense as an average woman needs to train harder than an average man to defend against the same opponent.

It wasn't a BJJ match, it was a grappling match.

When people stopped thinking so one-dimensionally and starting thinking of how to use the tools they had available to counter other styles, GJJ suddenly stopped doing so well.

Also, in the UFC tonight a "two-time University Freestyle All-American wrestler" just got beat by armbar submission.

Your point is? Nothing in the part you quoted contradicted anything I said later. Maybe you should re-read it.

Yes, a grappling match in which one person knew GJJ and used only GJJ, and the other person knew a variant of it and used only that. i.e., it turned into a GJJ match.

So what?
There have been Navy Seals shot by Taliban fighters. Does that make Taliban fighters better than Navy Seals?
