Sure, I just wanted to note that BJJ, is an adaptation of the JJ art, and has a heavy focus on the techniques that are geared towards MMA competition. Therefore, some very effective techniques are not given the attention of some other forms or JJ or Akiedo.
One I think of immediate is a isolated wrist flip a technique that results in the dislocation of the wrist, elbow and shoulder in a single technique, but cannot be applied in a manner that the opponent is afforded the ability to chose to submit, therefore it is not an applicable technique to MMA competition. There are a lot of these "instant" techniques that result in too much injury for it to be acceptable in MMA.
My point is while BJJ or MMA are exceptionally good arts for defending ones self (some of the most contemporary) the competition aspect of the art has, like Taekwondo has caused a hyper-focus on certain techniques. Nothing wrong with it, just wanted the author to have full disclosure.
You can have the utmost confidence defending yourself on BJJ knowledge, far more than say Taekwondo it is a well rounded art, and MMA competition is as close to the real thing as you can get without creating grievous harm to everyone who enters the ring. Like I said though, I just wanted to ensure he had all of the facts.
