Of course we all know that not everything that works in sports BJJ works in mma, just as not everything that works in wrestling works in mma, or boxing, or muay thai, however, the rubber guard has shown some success in application to mma fighgting, but...Just a thought...shouldn't they change their name to 9th Planet Jiu Jitsu since Pluto is no longer considered a planet, hence 10th planet doesn't really make sense?:think
Not everyone was happy about Pluto's demotion, and there is another planet behind Pluto. They've been talking about since I was in the 4th grade, which was like 1986. 10th planet may still be current, but if Pluto gets a promotion; he might have to... [YT]F7IZZXQ89Oc[/YT][/QUOTE]
There are about three trillion planets in our galaxy alone... Take your pick of any of them :deal Pluto is rubbish anyway. Lynchburg
Here is another question....how effective would BJJ be in different gravity environments? Zero gravity?? i dont think the take downs would be as effect would they?
Takedowns would be pointless. You would have to pull guard or play 50/50 a lot. I should imagine that Da La Riva would be great to use in zero G. Lynchburg
In Zero gravity it would be hard to even punch someone hard let alone go for takedowns or try to get close to grapple
assuming you are in a room i suspect **** would look like mexican pro wrestling...pushing off of walls and trying to drop kick each other..... [yt]OcEPNM-Ggfk[/yt] [yt]vEC9pTMEV-0[/yt]
Pluto is no longer considered a planet ? Jesus I need to read the other sections in the newspaper rather than only the sports page.
A zero gravity fight promotion would have to legalize eye gouging and hair pulling in order to maintain a level of excitement. UFC would look a lot like a Three Stooges episode.
