How Brazillian Jiu Jitsu deceived everyone. Why don't Martial Artists see this?

[SeekerOfTruth007]

The only reason BJJ even works against "Karate" users is because in cage matches they have always banned all of the best Karate strikes and submissions. I listed 12 moves the other day and 10 of them are already banned or indirectly banned, and If I listed the THIRTY most effective karate moves I can think of, I'll wager at least 25 of them are directly or indirectly banned in cage matches.

The Karate wrist locks and holding gloves aren't even banned for a "safety" reason, but they are in fact banned to "artificially make fights last longer than ten seconds".

It's fascinating how regulations shape martial arts competitions! It's true that certain traditional karate moves are restricted in MMA to prioritize fighter safety and extend match duration. However, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu's effectiveness stems from its strategic adaptations and real-world applicability. BJJ excels in submissions and ground control, areas where many traditional martial arts often lack depth. Adaptations are key to thriving in any environment, and that's why BJJ remains so effective. But every martial art has its own strengths and limitations depending on the context they are practiced in.

The Gracies at the start of UFC dominated other martial artists such as karate guys with BJJ and back then there were no rules. BJJ is really just judo the focuses on ground fighting. BJJ organisations & high up practitioners protect religiously BJJ so will always make sure rules favour BJJ. Often see this with other martial arts competitions such as karate vs muay Thai, the mauy Thai guy isn't allowed shin kicks and there's no punches to the face. Chinese kung fu is notorious for this, with kung fu masters setting up fake fights with taekondo, karate, mma, muay Thai.

BJJ quotes a statistic cherry picked from a police report that 80% of fights end up on the ground, that may be true with people that don't know how to fight and also if your in a self defence situation taking someone down and rolling around on the ground leaves you vulnerable than say if you knew how and trained boxing where you could end the fight with a punch and simply run away or engage multiple attackers. I trained wrestling in high-school, judo, mma and trained boxing, most real fights I've ever been on were won by boxing, quick and efficient especially when using some of the mma striking techniques which are basically boxing without the gloves. There is an art to bare knuckle boxing that a lot was lost when it became more of a sport and gloves were added. BJJ is mostly a sport now so can be useless if you learn it for self defence in its sport form. I trained a few times with buddies who do BJJ and you can see the vulnerabilities. Like what if I don't want to go to the ground, what if I hit you while you trying to take me down, what if I just stand up.
