    Totally agree. Also, think the need to dump on anyone who does anything different (gi or no gi, variations on subs or positions) is probably the most annoying aspect of the jiu-jitsu community. Esp considering that one of foundations of jiu-jitsu and judo is live sparring, so if something doesn't work, it'll get weeded out... no need to hate. That stuff drives me nuts. Find a path that works for you, dude, and enjoy the experience.

    I wonder how it would look if MMA and jiu jitsu were to have a rivalry... just sayin'
    It would go something like this; "So you have no emphasis on striking, a strength program is optional, some of you can't throw for shit, and a great degree of you have never taken a punch in your lives?"
    Coming from almost ten years of MMA related training, and coming into jiujitsu, this whole, "gi no gi, hubbah guarch vs gripping sleeves guarch.. Well.. It seems reeeaally retarded! *Hahahah!*
    It's every bit as stupid as the olde Taekwon-do vs Karate thing.

    It reminds me of the "kicking in MMA" speech that Eddie just had. Back in the day I got yelled at in training for kicking high. But I knew it worked, and my sparring partners didn't shoot when I kicked, they were too busy defending. And did kicking work in MMA? Yes it did. If everyone should follow the mainstream there would be no new techniques, it's stupid. I think rubber guard is a bit like kicking. It takes a lot of flexibility, and you have to get how it works. Not everyone will get it. Thatch my whitebelt opinion on this matter.
