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?

Dan Camarillo is a second degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and 4th degree black belt in Judo. He ran his academy at Bakersfield, CA and his academy is well known for producing champions. And it’s not the best spot to be spotted if you’re a suspect.

On Wednesday Night on May 19, 2016 he heard some crashing noise in front of his academy, he went out to investigate what happened and witnesses told him the suspect had slammed into a truck, and was running away. Dan Camarillo decided to chase him down.

Camarillo told local ABC affiliate News 23:

“I decided to chase him down, He ran out of gas at the corner of the block, I put him in a hold but he started kind of resisting.”

“I grabbed him here and hold this arm tight, and he started to say, no no no.”

“He rolled and I put my weight on him, and i just sat on him pulling his arm tight,” said Camarillio.”

This guy was lucky he wasn’t chased by some expert in some striking martial art as this would end up much worse the suspect. This way no one was harmed.

Camarillo offered some wise words about martial arts.

“I always tell everybody you never know when your going to need it”

I must say this is some very innovative type of Jiu Jitsu gameplay. People around call it a “dead guard”, but as we can see guy laying like he’s dead is very alive after he gets attacked by his opponent.

So, does anyone have any idea on what’s the best way to attack this type of “guard”?

Rolles Gracie Jr. (born July 14, 1978) is a Brazilian professional mixed martial artist, pro-wrestler and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. As the son of Rolls Gracie, he is a third generation martial arts member of the Gracie family, and a 4th degree black belt in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

This time he fought against a very tough opponent and 5 times world strongest man on earth Mariusz Pudzianowski, on KSW 31 event.

This event took place on May 23, 2015 in Gdansk, Poland and lasted only 27 seconds.

After a few circles around Gracie, Pudzianowski trapped Gracie’s lead hand and leaped into an overhand right. The punch landed with an audible thud and immediately left Gracie in a heap. After a bit of follow-up ground-and-pound from Pudzianowski, the fight was over.

When it comes to defeating larger opponents it’s easy to figure out that not all martial arts are the same. Jiu Jitsu is one of those that gives you all advantage you can have against someone much bigger then you are.

If someone is untrained at takedown defense and staying on their feet it’s very likely they will end up on the ground. That’s exactly what happened in this fight.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an excellent martial art to defeat bigger and larger opponents using technique and leverage and not brute force.
