Awsome keep up the good work, hats off to law enforcement, military etc...

[chizokage]

Taking a fight to the ground is not a good idea in a real world scenario though let alone the fact that the world outside in not an arena with a referee. Put a kimura on a guy and have him stick a knife in your ribs see how well that goes, or grapple with a guy who is not above biting you. Unless police are only keeping nice clean suburban areas safe, oh wait...

@onetao8 that's only if the dude knows what he's doing. Most thugs don't know what the hell to do on the ground but keep striking.

@onetao8 You're nuts. By the way, that Skinny Dude ... is a chick.

@onetao8

r u insane? you don't trade blows with a much larger/stronger opponent....you will likely get pummeled unless you're insanely special. grappling and clinching with a larger opponent is safer as long as you know your next move......with BJJ, you don't need a huge skill difference like you see in wrestling/boxing,...etc.

[onetao8]

Skinny dude is wrong if your skinny striking will give you more of a chance of defending yourself before a big dude gets a hold of you. Grappling or wrestling with someone bigger and stronger than you sucks, you get dominated. In other words a small guy CAN knock out a big dude but you will rarely see a tiny dude out wrestle a big guy unless there is a HUGE skill difference . I understand cops are not supposed to strike.

PS. i do bjj myself and i love it

The triangle relies on flexibility as much as any other technique which is basically saying that anyone can do it...

it's more of if you want a cramp or not while rolling and the extra flexibility makes it so much easier.

When I first learned the triangle I NEVER stretched on my own but I was able to pull it off.

Now, that I stretch like 10 times a day everyday the Triangle is one of my best submission and I can transition to another personal favorite, omoplata, if i wanted too.

Gracie Jiu Jitsu covers striking, it also covers multiple attackers... Do you forget law enforcement has weapons for multiple attackers.  They have a club and a gun.

[jerseyassasin1975]

you ask some questions that I am waiting to hear answers for since I fight in competition but I do not use bjj in "real fight" situations. I mean no one will bite me, grab 2 of my fingers or use any small joint manipulation, kick me in the nuts, have a weapon, or even grab the inside of my gi certain ways, but on the street if your a cop anything can happen. I am not a cop but I am interested to hear if any of the cops have an opinion on these things.
