While studying kung fu in my teens, like most boys in martial arts, I became enamored with Bruce Lee. I followed everything he wrote (I still have a devastating one and three inch punch that I still sometimes show off at get-togethers), especially his emphasis on grappling, because he stated that almost all fights end up on the ground. I was quite surprised that my sifus downplayed grappling with the attitude that, 'we fight standing up.' WTF? I started wrestling in HS, and took some Jeet Kune Do classes at another school, until I finally quit Kung fu because of their closed minded attitude. Anyway, fast forward to today and we can see through the advent of MMA how important grappling is in formulating a complete fighting style. This is an older video demonstrating the effectiveness of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu against various striking arts. Strikers have no idea what to do once they hit the mat, it's almost comical and a real wake up call. Enjoy...
