Self-defense vs Sport BJJ
It’s seems like the people that denounce and attack sport BJJ are those who are least involved with it. There is no issue with people focusing 100% on self-defense. If that is what someone wants to do, then go do that. But don’t discredit or vilify others and their accomplishments. When people do this it appears, at least on the surface, as if they are falling behind the times in BJJ. Instead of keeping current and continuing to evolve with the sport it’s simply easier to condemn it.
There is simply no reason to draw this line in the sand. Where more sport oriented people are on one side and self-defense on the other.

I can’t stand those arguments.
You and I both brother!
