$100 a month is cheap where Im from. Most of the schools are $150 and up.

@sheckshire. I do bjj for that price...it's worth it! 100% worth it! And I'm only 16 right now so I can be good, there's guys who start at like 40 they'll be good but when I'm 40 I'll have 24 years expirience!

BJJ has sky rocketed in price. in columbus ohio i cant find a school cheaper than 85 dollars a month. Shit its not like Im training to be a UFC fighter or nothing.

@antoniod999 Well thank you for being more forward and not being a douchebag. What I've been saying is that BJJ isn't the "God art" everyone believes it to be. I don't have any real ground training and I've beat so called "Jujutsu" fighters. They were good, not like they were shit, but it was all based on instinct. I learned how to translate some of my striking game into a ground game through my Karate base because I have no Judo or Jujutsu training. It wasn't just playing around, so I had to.

@HairofSteel555 bottom line, grappling takes a lot longer than striking to become efficient at. you can train 10 years of bjj and still never come close to being a world champ, yet you can train half as long in boxing and be near the top. its unlikely but far more plausible. Thats why @duster805 is saying bjj is the foundation. Look at what happens to guys who are awesome strikers but get put on their backs with no jits. they just lose, look at dan hardy, 4 loses in a row becuase he has no jits

[HairofSteel555]

@duster805 Yeah and what happens when you get cocky thinking you're a beast at grappling and you get tough with someone better? Getting that close has so many variables it's not even funny. Yeah, you have so much skill at the "ground game", you probably lack in striking. People favor what they don't suck at. If a fight goes to the ground, so be it. If you can't end it before it does, get better at striking. Simple as that.

[duster805]

@HairofSteel555 - hahaha - Karate just lost (Machida). I never said BJJ was the end all but it's the base you build the house on and if you have to choose between learning striking or grappling, you're better off with grappling. If you can't hold your own on the ground or stop a takedown (i.e. Machida) you're doomed. Look at Anderson Silva or Chuck Lidel, awesome strikers with enough taekdown defense and grappling skill to keep the fight standing and dominate with striking.

[HairofSteel555]

@duster805 Karate has proved itself in the ring. Stop trying to act like BJJ is the art of the gods, it's not. You guy's are more self indulged in shit than Tae Kwon Do. You won the UFC's favorite art. Whoopty doo. Wait another few years, the BJJ trend will be over and some new crap is gonna catch the attention of the Tapout kids.

@HairofSteel555 -"psuedo-art" shows my lack of respect for arts that don't put up in the ring and just theorize/ speculate. You sound like you actually believe what you're saying, which demonstrates your ignorance. Every grappler knows you're not getting top position and anything you want to do with grabbing our sacks, scratching or poking us in the eyes (exactly how I'd teach my gf to fight btw) is inconsequential and just a nuisance on our way to breaking your arms and choking you unconscious.

[HairofSteel555]

@duster805 The fact you'll call an art that's been successful in combat since before WWII, a "Pseudo-art" shows your lack of respect towards anything. I've rolled with "ground-fighters" before on cement, not a mat. They don't take a liking to having a kneecap in their groin or fingers in their eyes.
