Random post, but I just watched a recently uploaded youtube video that Eddie put up and it's got me pretty amped up. It really shows Eddie's vision for making Jiu Jitsu MMA effective/relevant again. Until this video I didn't really understand Eddie's vision. Now I get it. Combat jiu jitsu is a bridge from BJJ to no gi to MMA. It's genius. I really hope this catches on. This has a lot of potential to revolutionize the game.

I was kinda gonna just wait til Eddie posted the video, but it's all good. Like I said, though; I really hope this catches on.
I like at the 11:05 mark when they say 10th planet guys all like to fight of their back....those are the guys who never see the JNT coming.
A shot to quarter guard, then immeddiately transition to dogfight to the back. Gorgeous.
21:06 lol at Eddie always shoving that Iphone in peoples face.
Great fight. Love the rules.
It's a great concept. How is it scored, though? It's been given 3x3 minute rounds like Amateur MMA, and has CSAC sanctioning, so is it using the 10-9 system? That could be problematic since some people argue there's too much lay'n'pray in MMA as it is.
Is it putting belt rank vs belt rank? Is it only jiu jitsu students that can take part?
I like ground battles, and hate standups, so I really enjoyed watching the fight, and I like the concept! :)
pretty cool id like to see more
