Since the first UFC Bjj has had a huge effect on martial arts and particularly MMA but is it really good or is it all hype ? In the octagon it seems to be a requirement to be successful but in general is a system that focuses on primarily ground work truly the ultimate in martial arts ? I have not seem much stand up being taught and the primary emphasis is on sport applications which kind of takes away from the original concept of the Gracie family ... there seems to be a bit of a division in the bjj ranks today about what is the better approach. Is this art complete ? Or is it good only for the competition arena ? It seems guys like Rickson and Relson focuse more on the self defense approach compared to the other Bjj groups but is it really an effective system for defense or is it the hype generated by the UFC etc... ? I like grappling but is it the be all end all ?
