    I've been doing BJJ for about 12 years, but I wouldn't go to a BJJ instructor to learn about knife fighting (unless, like one of mine, he was also a black belt in arnis and had been teaching it for about ten years).
    First thing, I'm really not trying convince you or anybody. It was just an observation that I would like to share. That's all.
    Anyway, actually the BJJ guy is not teaching knife. What we have is a 3 hour class with three arts taught by different instructors. One guys teach BJJ, I teach FMA single stick and other person handles FMA knife. Our goal to share ideas, determine strong points and vulnerabilities of each art that we primarily do. In my case, it's really helpful and gave me a chance to see how I can be countered by a BJJ and a knife fighter and adjust my ways of doings things.

    Let's just agree or agree to disagree .
