BJJ is now so main stream and trashy that it’s a turn off when someone says “I do Jiu jitsu.”
Yeah… cool buddy… I do finger biting, Dick biting, eye gouging, finger in ass, you name it. No can defend

It’s cyclical. Last fad was CrossFit. I try not to hold it against the art that so many douches now train.

Good, less people training BJJ will lead to more people getting submitted.

Mount escapes, some takedowns and TDD and the basic chokes are all legit.
Just like all the systems, the basics are useful in real life.

Yeah, I remember when nobody knew what it was 20 years ago. Now every dork I meet claims to do it or have done it.

Tell us youve never trained with saying youve never trained.

I think it’s bad ass. The more people going in the gym to train martial arts as opposed to take selfies and flex the better

But seriously I think jiujitsu would benefit if it went away from these longer timed matches and instead had matches with shorter periods like wrestling. Just something different to promote more activity.

It’s all about “how” you train it vs. the moves themselves. But better training is harder training, and with that naturally comes an increased washout rate.
Crossfit is still going on a good bit I think.

That’s a good point. Where I’m at, BJJ schools and CrossFit are neck and neck in terms of popularity.

I hope this post makes you feel better about being completely defenseless.
There’s no shame. Just avoid bad areas, stay near cops and larger male friends and you should be OK.

Hoss and screenname. Cyclical huh hoss? Jui Jitsu has been around since at least the 1500’s in Japan. With the Gracie’s using it and popularizing it and opening up schools in the 1920’s. Honestly anyone that doesn’t realize the benefits and advantages of Jui jitsu is an idiot and someone that will get is ass kicked in any kind of physical altercation
