Joe Rogan does not think that Jiu Jitsu match is really a fighting. But he also have nothing against to call Jiu Jitsu match a fight. Here is his explanation on this from his latest podcast interview with Tom Papa.
“Jiu-jitsu is not fighting because you’re not hitting each other. So, you’ve got a jiu-jitsu match for sure. Not really a fight because you can’t get leg kicked, you can’t get elbowed in the face, you’re not going to get kneed into a coma. It’s a totally different experience than a fight, and it’s almost disrespectful, in some ways, to call a Jiu-Jitsu match a fight. But other people like to refer to it as a fight. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
What’s your opinion on this subject? Match or fight?
