not all ground fighting is for sport... if you go to a bjj class, at first it will all be the same, but eventually you will learn the difference between ring techniques and street techniques...
if you cross train, it would be reasonable to assume that one who knows ground clinch and standup fighting will use clinch and standup to avoid the ground... if the opponent is lighting you up, you may wanna take it down if you guys are one on one... i could go on for hours about the diff between street and sport... i dont even mean bjj specifically, just any ground fighting... for example, soldiers learn it because its unrealistic to not have that knowledge in real combat... its about being well rounded... im talking about fighting... obviously in mma if you have no ground uyou wont last long... but thats not what im talking about... im talking about real fighting... and real fighting is about knowing as much as possible and covering as many angles as you can... to deny that is just crazy... i think ive been pretty clear about what i mean and i havent changed tactics between real and sport arguments to backpedal... the only time i have was to make a secondary point...
Tomato..tomahto
There are many "street" moves that are never done in the ring because they don't work, do you k now of any ring techniques not done on the street for the same reason?
Can't think of any off the top of my head.
WTF does "not necessarily the same" mean anyways??

i'd love to hear your thoughts...
anyways.. my original point before the s h i t storm was that you need to be well rounded... and rounding out may take away from one aspect because of time constraints for some people or a simple lack of ability to do or retain the knowledge but ultimately the more you are prepared for the better off you'll be... anyone disagree???
No Sanjero, because sometimes people are taken out with a knife, or a kick to the groin, or a hand full of broken fingers...
I already gave you your sport fighting tribute...Sport fighting is very very important.
It still isn't fighting.
Ok?
the example i was thinking was more on the lines of, if you are fighting three guys, you arent gonna pull guard if you do hit the ground, you will scramble is if your life depended on it... because it might... in competition you can afford to lay back, take a breath and start from there...
i use that anologfy because im trying to stick to youknowhos original criticisms... keep it simple and not too confusing... this board is moving fast...

pretty much anything where you don't go home in a body bag is a "game" or "sport"
the reality is, well, you can't re-create reality... nothing is going to simulate a real life and death struggle with a person trying to kill you... you can only approach approximations
however, what so many dismiss as "sports" do in fact do a dandy job of approaching those realities, especially once you understand the role of stress and adrenaline response
a game or diversion in which the participants hit or pelt each other with something harmless: a pillow fight; a water fight.
thats awesome...
dictionaries arent the end all of tyerminology though... for example... ima BBoy, some call it breakdancing, BBoys dont call it that only outsiders... so should an outsider define a term? or should terms be defined by those who are actually involved??? breakdancer is a term that was prepackaged and served to the public in an article a long time ago and it stuck, but only outside the bboy community...
so who defines fight???
although i do agree with you, fight can be sport... but all along ive been talking about real street fighting, you know, actyual combat...
