Martial Arts - BJJ/GJJ

[PugnacAutMortem]

I guess proof would be Matt Hughes vs Royce Gracie Matt was well rounded MMA while Royce still trying the old bag of tricks that got him by. Seems that BJJ along with Krav , Judo, Muay Thai and whatever is the way to go. Or it could be Royce is 7 years older than Matt

I think that is the pefect mix for me is: Krav as a base for defense, BJJ for your ground work, Muay Thai for your striking and Judo for your clinch work. Lots of overlap so you learn techniques faster, and it makes you extremely well-rounded. The only other thing I might add/substitute is Sambo instead of Judo.

And Matt whooped up on Renzo Gracie as well. I've got a ton of respect for the Gracies and what they did for BJJ...but I honestly would rather train at a 10th Planet BJJ gym. Much more creative and I like the no-gi emphasis.

Why...oh why...would 1) Anybody join that guy's dojo? And 2) Go along with such fuckery as beating people without touching them?

Matt Cram at CO BJJ Greenwood Village is top notch. He is really good at picking apart the minor details missing in your technique and modified traditional technique to work for you body type.

That's a lot of different stuff to take in. Muay Thai takes care of any clinch stuff you'll ever need, and has more than enough hip tosses and trips to cover that niche. I'd say Muay Thai with submission/catch wrestling would be more than enough to make an individual formidable; to say the least.

Speaking of 10th Planet, I don't think Eddie's going to fare well at Metamoris 3.

Gracie - living in the past.

Sure bro. Keep breaking cinder blocks in your basement.

Now THAT I will actually watch. I didn't really have any interest in the 1st two but I would watch an Eddie Bravo/Royler Gracie rematch.

Has to be in an octagon though...

No, I trained at CO BJJ HR when it was open. I lived part time in Canada and trained in Fort McMurray at the same time. I moved back to the states permanently, when the wife got preggo. I quit BJJ after our second kid was born.


Anyway, Matt open his own CO BJJ gym shortly before the HR gym closed. He instructed at the HR gym for years and I think highly of him. Like other have said, use the free trials.

My only complaint is the lack of focus on standup. That is an overall complaint of BJJ in general. What other info are you looking for?
