When I was a kid I studied Tang Soo Do for 3 years. I tried to use what I learned in a fight and got whooped. After that I went back to just punches and headlocks which worked pretty good. But now a days people are way better fighters. They're trained better. They know ground work, how to throw elbows and knees, head butts etc. The BJJ secret is out of the bag. If you want you can drive to torrance and train with the Gracies. Bas Rutten and Randy Couture are opening a gym in Hollywood and I'm sure they'll take as many students as they can get.
It's like when Van Halen came out everyone was blown away by Eddie's guitar playing. Doing hammer ons, and pull offs. Now you walk into any Guitar Center and there's guys playing better. Musican's Institute churns them out.
Nothing stays a mystery forever, and the next generation always builds on the previous.
