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.

Compella SMASH! Ft. Referee Mario Batali
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
niiice
Yeah, that came out of no where. So hard to prepare for something like that to happen.Quote:

I honestly didn't remembered what had happened between getting back up and getting on his back, I finally got to see the move here and it was pretty sweet, lol. Guess it was just pure instinct, back in the Bronx we used to call this sport recess. What better way to digest your public school lunch then with some ground and pound on the asphalt. Times were simpler then...
Awesome video, and awesome work Compella!
Great questions, I'm going to try and get this CJJ happening in my area with a local promoter.Quote:

Well, if the idea is to prepare jiu jitsu guys for MMA, then they should follow the same rules.Quote:

I wonder if CJJ will become just a class taught at a regular BJJ or MMA school or will it be so popular that there will be whole schools devoted to it? You know this could really change everything. What about tournaments? Rankings? Belts?
