Royce Gracie believes BJJ Competitions aren't helpful for Self Defese (video)

Anyway. We can look at it this way. And see how competitive BJJ guys do in MMA.

And determine if someone throwing kicks and punches screws up their system.

And look. They mostly do ok. (And by ok. A lot better than the high level self defensers do.)

Or we can look at these competitor's gyms. Lachlan Guiles doesn't compete in MMA. but if you went to his school. You absolutely have all the tools you need to compete.
