According to most BJJ stylists, you will always end up on the ground in a fight, and you have no chance against multiple attackers, so training for it is not worthwhile. ::)
-
1. that video is as old as the internet.
2. that's not really "multiple" attackers. Each guy stood there and watched while the other got his ass kicked.
3. any wrestler or BJJ yellow belt would have instantly gone for a double let and put that guy on his ass.
4. it has already been proven that a striker with no takedown defense will lose to a grappler...every time.
hope that helps.

So what? ::)
2. that's not really "multiple" attackers. Each guy stood there and watched while the other got his ass kicked.
That's how the fight played out, dummy. It wasn't scripted. Just because each person did not react the way you wanted them to does not make the results irrelevant.
Multiple attackers = fighting more than one person.
3. any wrestler or BJJ yellow belt would have instantly gone for a double let and put that guy on his ass.
BJJ does not have "yellow belts." The double leg takedown is fine. What's next?
Rolling around on the ground gives ample opportunity for the other guy to build up the courage to kick you in the head, smack your woman again, etc.
4. it has already been proven that a striker with no takedown defense will lose to a grappler...every time.
Really? You've seen every street fight in every country? Amazing! ::)
hope that helps.
No, sorry. It actually failed miserably and was a terrible waste of time.
Who's got next?

I didn't think it was possible, but Benny is 100% right.
Going to the ground, going for a takedown when multiple people are trying to fuck you up, pulling guard= Dumbest things to do in the world when you're in a real fight

Yes. If you are surrounded by multiple people trying to beat you, diplomatic skills go a much longer way than actually trying to fight them. Ryan Gracie got almost beat to death by a bunch of bikers with no fighting experience. Weight on numbers is a bitch. If you are attcked by a single guy, fight dirty! Throw sand in his eyes and then kick him really hard on the balls. Then burst his knee caps and he is essentially over.

That's weird - I just went from a yellow belt to blue belt under Alex Crispim ::)
Yes, that's how the fight played out because you had two untrained punching bags going up against an obvious boxer. Had just one of those guys known any grappling, the outcome would have been much different.
No, I've not seen all street fights, but there's this thing called the UFC. About 15 years ago they proved that BJJ is superior to all other forms of martial arts, when a 185lb pencil neck ran over a bunch of trained Karate, Boxing, etc. strikers.

I agree 100%. pulling guard in a street fight against even just one person, let alone more, would be stupid. The best thing to do is what the guy in the video did. Hit hard and fast and try to end the fight quickly. Just pray that the guy(s) you're fighting with, doesn't know how to create distance and then shoot in...
-
Not that it proves anything, but here's a street fight were BJJ comes out on top. There are dozens of these videos on youtube...
-
boom!

Dont talk shit, shooting in for a takedown.Seriously youve been watching too much UFC where fights are controlled.If somebody shoots in for a take down theres so much 'illegal' shit you could do to them before they pull that armbar shit if you know how to fight. ::)

Dude, even in a street fight most people abide by some kind of unspoken rules i.e. no eye gouging, nut shots, etc. Otherwise, fuck the fighting and start the shooting ::)

FIXED! ;)

I figured I was dealing with a BJJ guy (or possibly fanboy) who has drunk the whole pitcher of Kool-Aid. ::)
That sure IS weird. I went from white belt to blue belt under Royler Gracie. Never heard of Crispim...I'm sure he's a fine teacher. :-\ Where is his school?
How old are you, fourteen? I know they have a different belt pattern for kids, but I started as an adult.
Yes, that's how the fight played out because you had two untrained punching bags going up against an obvious boxer. Had just one of those guys known any grappling, the outcome would have been much different.
MOST people fighting on the street are untrained. You may think we live in a world of "mma bad asses" walking the streets because you spend all your time on the mat and on the couch watching mma fights, but most street thugs don't have the money or the interest in training in a formalized martial arts program.
If ONE of those guys were a better STRIKER, the outcome may have been different. That goes without saying. But guess what? They didn't. AND...what if the guy you take down has a knife?
No, I've not seen all street fights, but there's this thing called the UFC. About 15 years ago they proved that BJJ is superior to all other forms of martial arts, when a 185lb pencil neck ran over a bunch of trained Karate, Boxing, etc. strikers.
The UFC is NOT a streetfight, dipshit. That was the point I tried to explain to you in my first post. Obviously, it soared over your head like a 747. ::)
There are MANY variables that come into play in a streetfight that you don't have to worry about in a one-on-one challenge match on a soft mat and in front of a passive crowd that you don't have to fear may become involved.
Damn son, your BJJ teacher told you a few things, and you just gobbled that shit up by the spoonful, didn't you. :D
Open your mind. Always understand that when you are being taught an art, the teacher of that art has a vested interest in you believing that art is superior to all others. Obviously I know the benefits of jits, since I studied it myself. But I know that it is NOT a complete system for self defense.

You are at least making SOME sense here. :)

You are looking at a one-on-one challenge match where apparently no one in the audience was interested in being anything other than a spectator. OF COURSE I am familiar with this type of situation. There are plenty of videos from the Gracies...including my teacher Royler...that display this type of one-on-one encounter. In this type of situation, a well trained grappler always has the advantage.
Don't you see how neatly this fits into your "UFC shows the superiority of grappling in a street fight" theory? It is virtually the same as a cage fight. Two guys going at it in front of a non-threatening crowd, with plenty of space, and with no other variables at play.
Now, what if this encounter occurred at a night club...very crowded...not too much room to maneuver. Before the fight breaks out, one accuses the other of disrespecting his girl by flirting with her and touching her ass on the dance floor. One guy has two friends standing behind him, looking menacing and ready to back up their friend. The other *appears* to be by himself, but actually came with five other guys who are all around the club. Tell me, should *any* of the gentlemen in this scenario go for an immediate double leg take down, given the lack of space at hand, and given the MANY variables at play? You've got chairs, guys wearing steel-toed boots, beer bottles, etc. What if one (or more) of the guys in this fight are carrying knives? You think grappling range is best, or maybe having experience fighting more than one guy and keeping a healthy distance may be your best bet?
And yes, I've seen/been involved in this type of situation on more than one occasion.

boom!
If you were paying attention AT ALL, Bas stated that while you DO NOT want the fight to go to the ground, if it does it is great to know jiu jitsu. I never stated otherwise. Try re-reading my first post after you've detoxed and your teacher's Kool-Aid has left your system. ::) I wouldn't have bothered studying BJJ myself if I did not believe it did not have any merit.
I could put up COUNTLESS videos by Bas where he is giving street self-defense advice that entails ZERO grappling. He has several dvds and clips from them are up on youtube.

The good thing about BJJ is as a striker it teaches u how to stay on your feet, when opponents are trying to push u in a corner or take you down. at least thats how it helped me. Subs I never seen one out side the ring. if you can hit, your gonna just hit the guy not spend all this time setting up subs. The fighters I've ever met who are dead set on subs, is usually cause they cant, or don't know how to hit very hard.
-
Grappling takes on an entirely new dynamic when your attacker has a concealed weapon, which you will not be prepared for if you think a street fight is the same as the highly regulated UFC cage fights you use as gospel. I have been involved in martial arts for many years, and I honestly fear for you young lads that think that because you train in "mma" that you are invincible on the streets. :-\
If in the first video presented, the attacker immediately went for a take down, however the guy on his back always keeps a switchblade strapped to his calf, what might happen? If you take me down, and instead of fighting off your armbar or choke attempts, I immediately pull my knife and stab you three times in rapid succession in your side, would you consider it a "victory" if you choke me out before you start to bleed out, "Evolver?"
How much of your grappling training with Alex Crispim looks like this, "Evolver?"
Jon Fitch gets in a Knife Fight
My guess is, if you think the UFC is the be-all-end-all for street fighting "Evolver," not much of your training at all has this type of element of realism added. ;)

YES! :)
To me, if your goal is self defense, you definitely want to learn some BJJ (or Sambo, Judo, Catch Wrestling, etc.). You at the very least want to be able to defend yourself against it, and get back to your feet if possible.
Now, if you have no weapons or onlookers to worry about and you feel strongly about being able to choke out a potential assailant, then go for it. Roll around to your hearts content in the dirt or concrete with twigs, bugs, broken glass particles, or other crap in your hair until you get that submission. :)

Dude, even in a street fight most people abide by some kind of unspoken rules i.e. no eye gouging, nut shots, etc. Otherwise, fuck the fighting and start the shooting ::)
Not from where I come from. And you certainly shouldn't EXPECT this kind of "unspoken code of conduct" should you really get into it with someone you don't know and your life could be on the line. ;)
If you are in a fight with me and I am defending my spouse, friend or other family member, EVERYTHING is fair game. If you don't protect your nuts...unless you are a beast or high on coke or something, I will likely make short work of you. ;)
These kinds of threads are fun for me. Let's not take it all too seriously. My goal sincerely is to educate and inform based on my martial arts experience. :)

Every thing does go in a street fight lol what unwritten code? There is no code only survival.

This guy cracks me up.Another 1 who thinks because he knows BJJ that hes a killer now because hes seen a bunch of UFC fighters end fights with a submission hold LOL Dude i train martial arts but im far from invincible in a fight just because i train.Stick to playing UFC undisputed on your PS3 8)

When someone in Benny's homeless community tries to take his shopping cart full of cans or trash feast of banana peels and chewed gum, he is difficult to stop.

We have a bunch of tough guys thugs here ::) Please post videos of street fights where people are getting their eyes gouged out or bitten.

If he has friends, who are willing to gang up on you, they are going to gang up on you whether you are standing or on the ground.
And multiple people have a 99% chance of putting you on the ground anyway.
A group tackle is nearly impossible to stop.
Then what do you want to be good at?

You live up to your name well, my friend.
Rorion, speaking on behalf of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and using it as a selling point, never said ALL fights go to the ground. He estimated maybe 90% of street fights end up on the ground. And against multiple attackers he was very specific in saying that you don't want to be on the ground but chances are you will end up there.
Ryan, an evil human being, was high as a kite when he was ganged up on after stealing someone's bike. He was found dead the next day in a jail cell.
The unrepentant rapist and possible murderer is now in his rightful place burning in hell.

WTF?? :D

Fighting hinges a lot on intelligence, like when multiple guys charge you in a straight line lol Honestly there are a lot of factors besides style.
And your not going to really know what your dealing with till you already in it. Hence why I took up weight lifting/MMA/etc...
But all that means nothing cause you'll never know what you'll run into. That's why I stay street smart low key and I'm as nice as possable to every one I meet. And that's probably the most effective self defence methods of all ;)

I posted. Can't say I'm too broken up about it as he'll still go down as the GOAT. And the HW division of MMA will continue to blow (much like most of the other divisions right now).

Real men dont run about taking videos of fights in the street asshole, they get stuck in and dont stand watching if their friend or family is gettin beat down. No one follows rules in a fight. There is no such thing.You need to stop thinking every fight is like a UFC match

I don't think every fight is like a UFC match. But, if during a fight someone tries to bite me or poke my eyes or some other coward move, trust me, I'm not going to just sit there and try to pull off an arm bar ::) At that point, weapons of any kind will come into play.

When all else fails -- just pull guard.
Trust me on this one.

I guess that first video was the "magical 1%" that BJJ guys talk about, eh my Kool-Aid gulping friend. ;)
Logic dictates that if they are "going to gang up on you whether standing or on the ground", that you'd rather be standing, as then you at least will be able to see where the next attack is coming from and potentially neutralize it and/or run to a place where you can escape, or get to a place where the odds become more in your favor. You can't do that on your back or while singling out one attacker and mounting him.
With a screen name like yours, no doubt the Gracies make a statement and you just gobble that shit up by the spoonful, don't you. :D
-
In that 1st video we see an obvious trained boxer, demolish two completely untrained fighters. If one of those guys had just 2 months of wrestling or BJJ training, they would have shot in for a double and had the guy on his back in a matter of seconds.

I never said that people should take multiple people to the ground.
Or letting them take you to the ground.
My point was... if you commit a mistake of letting the opponents taking you to the ground on a street fight "and multiple people have 99% chance of putting you in the ground".
Worst case scenario... you're in the ground already. got it?
Well!! knowing BJJ will help you to get rid of the opponent/opponents ... and stand up fast. ;)
