again, read carefully what i said:
"...a pure bjj practicioner (bb or not) would get hurt badly against a well rounded fighter with ZERO formal (gi/belt system) training
^ i didnt say a guy that didnt know ANY jj, i said someone who's never had any traditional jj training
as for the second half of your misguided statement, that would also be incorrect...100% of the time?? lol yea right...i would agree that a high percentage of the time that statement of yours would be true, but definitely not 100% of the time...after all, the BJJ bb needs to avoid strikes AND close the distance to his opponent AND get him to the ground (assuming he doesnt do any "flying" techniques lol or jump to guard) before his skills can even begin to be used  |
ok, if it makes you feel better then 99.9999999% of the time ;) Takedowns are a lot easier -a LOT - against someone who hasn't trained to resist them.
so if your hypothetical well rounded guy has no formal ground training.. what, are you talking about someone who watches tapes and practices on a grappling dummy in his garage or something? Not following your train of thought here.
