Just as he would kick yours. I never said that I could kick his ass, now did I? Just said that he is useless.

i didnt mean to be an ass. I was just surprised by the outclassed outcome. slightly pissed.

BJ didn't quit. The ringside physician called it.

His corner threw in the towel. BJ didn't protest, therefore he quit. There was no physician's say in the matter.

There wouldn’t be a fifth round for Penn, who was wisely kept in his corner by Octagonside physician William Berliner, as well as his own cornermen<---huh, guess I'm right. the physician like i said wouldn't let him continue and his cornermen didn't protest.

BJ's brother told the doctor to stop it. Therefore, BJ QUIT. The doctor then told the ref the fight was over.

Not saying the outcome would have been changed. but, its very interesting.

reminded me of Bloodsport. when he threw that powder in the guys eyes. (not that i think GSP had any intention of cheating) his corner is to blame.

Umm, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu IS Brazillian Jiu Jitsu. The entire art was born out of Judo and traditional Japanese Jujutsu, which isn't a point sport; it was an art of hand to hand combat used by Samurais to kill. Helio Gracie (R.I.P.) developed BJJ under the goal of creating a grappling art that could be used by a small opponent against a much larger one.

BJJ is a very effective martial art, but it isn't anywhere close to perfect. It is still a sport, just like Judo. There are many ways to nullify a BJJ offense and the easiest being not allowing yourself to be taken down. I train in both Judo and BJJ and have rolled with some slick practicioners of both arts. One thing I can tell you from first hand experience is the lack of focus on stand up grappling that BJJ encompasses. Judo on the other hand has a strong focus in that area, but lacks the ground work intricacy of BJJ. Well, unless you are schooled in Kosen Judo, which is the Mecca of ground fighting technique.

I recommend that anyone try a grappling based art. Judo changed my life and Jiu Jitsu did much the same.

while some of what you said is true gracie did not start bjj, he simple took the sport out of it and made it a combat. heres just one site of many that state its history.
