Consider what we learned from the rise and fall of Dan Hardy and G Sots.
It seems to this humble white belt that one of these guys is exciting because he's a striker who has figured out how to use 10pjj to defeat wrestlers and one of these is a 10pjj friendly BJJ black belt who didn't have the striking skills or takedown skills to compete with the likes of Dennis Siver, Ross Pearson and even Rafael Dos Anjos.
Those guys were great! But the bar is pretty high!
That said, I'm interested in the idea of Combat Jiu Jitsu because it *seems* to be suggesting a new art that encompasses grappling, ground and pound and takedowns. If you get great at all that and add some striking, you'd be fearsome, neh?
