Jin-Jitsu and submission grappling

[Bravo Company]

What's your opinions on BJJ and submission grappling? I'm trying to find some teachers/classes in my area to learn some technics and styles. Might try entering some competitions and the such.

Any recommendations/discussions?

I'll look up stuff with you, if you need it?

i do jin-jitsu and i like it very much its a very cool fighting style. what my teacher taught me was grappling and being on the ground and then he taught me striking i think striking with jin-jitsu is better then grappling (and this is must me) because im very fast and im not the biggest kid so i was taught striking more then submission grappling but i have learned some very easy submissions

My friend from high school Henry Akins, is the head trainer for Rickson Gracie out of Cali. BJJ is the way to go for ground work imo. Boxing/mui tai for stand up. All and all there are alot of good trainers out there, so find what your comfortable with and go for it.

Last time my friend was home he got me in a flying arm bar and dragged me to the ground only to start choking me out with his legs while almost breaking my arm. Ahhh, friends

I've spent 19+ years in the martial arts 'world'. I even teach it (not for a living though).

You need to know both striking and grappling. Most fights start standing up, but end on the ground.

Find a school that you are happy with. By that I mean not just what they teach, but with the "people" there. Attitude is very important (no cobra kai!).

In the end, all styles merge into the same thing.

all I know is from watching ufc that some of the best fighters are the good strikers but have excellent ground skills ala royce gracie, anderson silva, bj penn etc

Well I found this guy, he's won multiple competitions and would be glad to teach me.

I'll probably be heading to his house sometime and we'll get going.
