The best way to explain this is to explain BJJ.

The first rule of BJJ... Position before submission. This was only inherent to BJJ, and nowhere else. Now ALL GROUND FIGHTING styles adhere to that rule.
In 1993 Russia could afford sending anyone to competitions like Pride or UF. We didn?t even knew such thing existed. I didn?t even know it was around and I have been living in North America for 15 years.. Does it bring some light to you or your shoes are indeed that big?
