    When you're speaking down to someone from an intellectual standpoint, spelling simple words wrong doesn't do much for your case.

    what about when someone says "If someone gets basic facts wrong, probably not worth too much time to actually try and have an intelligent conversation/discussion with them." Then said person proceeds to get multiple basic facts wrong in a following post?

    Jiujitsu is effective against everything but so is wrestling.
     
  9. Pure wrestling versus equal skilled pure BJJ guy the wrestler will usuallĂ˝ lose. Often in the take down attempt by getting hit with a guitine. They come in with the head at the side of the body (instead of center), and can get caught. But cross trained as a base I think wrestling may be better, the training often leads to a man who is a more explosive puncher (although they will be tight and slow espically when they start, that's why you need the cross training). But hey, that's just my opinion.
