Nothing wrong with BJJ, it’s a great art.
But I do have something to say about BJJ student’s mentality that BJJ is unbeatable. That is a false and dangerous mentality. Nothing is unbeatable. There is no greater art, only better fighters. That is as bad as a Wing Chun guy saying he is unbeatable, and trust me, that was the mentality of Wing Chuners during the Bruce Lee movie days.

Now Bullshido must be influencing me because I decided to bring up that I was now practising Brazilian JuJitsu, which I said generally dominates most other martial art styles.
Its funny how you’d say that to a 115 pound TKD girl…would you say the same in front of Lennox Lewis?? Why not? Because you know he got what it takes to kill you in a barefist fight. Stand up or on the ground. Just because he didn’t fight on the ground in a boxing match, what made you think he can’t when the rules didn’t limit him to boxing? I’ve seen the guy before, trust me you don’t want to say BJJ is unbeatable in front of him, at least not with the same kind of confident you have in front of a 115 pound girl.

Was Gracie able to take this guy down with his BJJ? Not really. There is no anti-grippling, the dude just step aside and Gracie roll to the ground by himself, almost fell out of the ring. Ended with the towel. Embarrassing fight.
Did this fight change anything for BJJ? No, nothing has changed. The art works, and it’ll continue to work. But it does prove one point, nothing is unbeatable. If you are bigger, stronger, younger, faster, you can win.
The moment you think you or your art is unbeatable, you became bullshido.
