That's weird - I just went from a yellow belt to blue belt under Alex Crispim 
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.
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.
