however the positive from that is, you can get belted in both disciplines and that sounds cool.
I agree, the styles are completely different, (LL is almost always offensively based, heavy on the takedowns, emphasis on guard passing, having good top control) compared to the defensive guard based Jiu Jitsu game (not that you can't be a top guy in jiu jitsu). The only thing I get hung up on is the objective is the exact same, anything that works in JJ will be effective in LL, and vice versa
