Should 10th Planet focus more on street fighting?

I came across this very interesting video today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e864iZ4sB8Q and (Correct me if im wrong) but Eddie always says that he cares the most about how jiu jitsu looks in MMA and on the streets. Im just wondering should 10th planet incorporate more of this "street jiu jitsu" because the way Rener and Ryron are describing jiu jitsu in the streets is like a completley different thing then "Sport jiu jitsu" so I wanna hear everyones opinions and ecspecially Eddies, Herzogs, and the rest of the 10th planet coaches on wether or not 10th planet should focus as much as HALF of there jiu jitsu to street fighting and the other half to sport jiu jitsu

Everyone should deffinetly watch the video, it's very important and just got uploaded today!

By default I think it does. Rubber guard is all about distance control. Had that guy learned posture break/ rubber guard. The strikes that he endured would have been minimal. Half guard perfect doubles, controls the distance. Just try and get a good punch on a guy that has you trucked. I wanted to post a snide comment about rubber guard on thier FB page, but refrained. They are not opposed to rubber guard, so I think it is just a mattter of time before they incorporate it into what they teach for street.

Agreed, it sounds to me their "street Jiu-jitsu" is the tight clinching style of grappling that Eddie always preaches.

Emir I'll take look at it later, and give you my input.

Are they teaching street JJ in the Gi? Last time I wore a Gi on the street downtown was in 1993 on Hallowe'en when I was dress up as Raiden.

I guess the real question is why don't you dress like Raiden everyday? Nobody fucks with the Thunder God.

I would say no because most street fights are not going to require you to understand such complex moves as 10th planet. That said I do believe there are many moves in the 10th planet system which could be used very effectively in a street fight. And on top of it all, in a street fight. I don't want to grapple with someone who could possibly have a knife or other weapon. Check out Jeet Kune Do or Krav Maga which also use moves from Jiu Jitsu and many other fighting styles.

No leave the lethal street fighting for Krav maga junkies. Anybody who masters the 10th planet system will do just fine in any street fight. Want to get lethal add ball punches and kicks, eye pokes, and maybe biting if your really serious.

Good call. I will have to give my co-workers a heads up not to fuck with me in my new attire. I figure one electrocution should do it.

They teach in a gi, but do not use it to yank or pull in the punch block series. Just like they briefly demonstrate from side control, it is all over/under clinches.They had gi's on but did not use it for punch block defense from side control. From guard they teach overhook/neck hold down. They even say the gracie combatives can be done in a gi or no gi. When you send in your video to test for blue, you can do either gi or no gi, they do not require a gi. You can see examples on thier website Gracie university.

Street fights are best won with guns/knives/bats/chains/weapons of opportunity. I'm not gonna go to the ground unless I have to. Too many people stomp and soccer kick people on the ground. Head butts, 12 to 6 elbows, biting, double fish hooks, groin shots, strikes to the spine/back of the neck/throat/crown of the head. All the fun shit you cant do in MMA.

I watched the whole thing, and because of the “distance” thing, it almost seemed if they were bashing the Gi without knowing it. Eddie has talked about before “You better have a clinch game… because when punches start coming, you’ll be clinching”.

In a side note, I’ll take the rubber guard over “the punch block series” any day.

This is how you fight in the street!

as most of us know there is quite a difference between having to grapple someone experienced vs an average guy on the street, it's much easier to pull the techniques off on those who are unaware of the movements and there meaning, in a street fight the ideal should be to pick the tech that would end the fight the quickest most time things off the clinch as to not be hit generally work well most of us that do mma get close to that with ground an pound drills the pretty high tech stuff is more fluid against someone experienced in the sense of they react accordingly to our movements and we counter ece ece,in a street fight the odds of defending yourself against someone taught and drilled in martial arts is slim,the average person will generally put themselves in the position to open opportunity for a trained practitioner to place him in a submission or a position of control,at the end of the day it's on the practitioner to drill consistant and hard to be able to enforce his techniques in a street defense situation
