Actually,
"everything goes".
bjjtrader,
Krav Maga is mostly bullshit for normal people in my view, and for professionals - they need to be open minded.
Quote from Gringinho:
bjjtrader,
well, then you just keep proving my point - style is not what matters - evolving, keeping an open mind is what matters. And that is within the prerogative of a fighter, not any style.
Q.E.D.
Quote from bjjtrader:
I agree a lot of Krav is BS, but some of their training is legit and has value.
The legit schools practice full contact. Put the pads on, get rushed by 10 guys trying to knock your head off, avoid going to the ground, and bust out one side and run. Sometimes they actually pull it off.
No other art practices that with full resistance, so I have to hand it to them on that point.

Quote from bjjtrader:
I did no such thing. You failed to answer all my questions that clearly showcase that styles matters.
Recognizing value in a technique/drill of a certain style, simply proves that style matters, because other styles dont have that technique or drill.
I wouldnt take up tai-chi to practice getting away from 10 guys trying to beat me down. Id take Krav for that. BECAUSE STYLES MATTER. Its so clear.
Go answer my questions.

yeah.... Brazilians did butcher the Portuguese language, lol
Quote from Gringinho:
Technique matters. Styles matter nothing.
An open mind set is what is most important.
You are just being zealous and unreasonable.
I understand your point, but I completely disagree - and it is the importance of the fighter and his mindset that matters.
Just like in real life and trading...
You are being religious - showing faith in a system.
Quote from bjjtrader:
No - you are simply dodging the TOUGH questions.
Go look at the sherdog style list and tell me why tai-chi and aikido are not on the list considering there are so many practitioners around the world.
Tell me why not a single mma champ studies aikido and tai-chi for fighting.
Answer: BECAUSE THEY ARENT EFFECTIVE STYLES FOR FIGHTING.
You just cant admit the obvious. You are too attached to your position at this point.
Styles matter and the stats prove it beyond any doubt.

Quote from Gringinho:
Hahaha,
you are a zealous crazy BJJ nut.
If you knew what we say about Sherdoggers (aka shitdoggers) on the largest tracker for MMA in the world - where we have all the instructional videos, lots of professional MMA, BJJ and other practitioners .. hehehe. I've debated martial arts for years, and that's why I'm a VIP member there... and not because of my slightly above average share ratio.
