In UFC 1 the world learned that if you don't know submissions and the person you're fighting is good at submissions, you're going to lose a fight. That's a fact, not an opinion. It's not saying that if two fighters both have some submission knowledge the one that's better at submissions will win. It's just saying that if a guy that's studied nothing but tkd for 5 years fights a guy that studied nothing but bjj for 5 years, the bjj guy will win 99.9% of the time, size being equal. That's no revelation, it's just common sense, but when you say it on this forum all these sensitive traditional martial artists get their feelings hurt and start attacking you (verbally). Why is that? I think people don't want to acknowledge that what they've been spending their time on is inferior to something else that they could have spent their time on. Perhaps tkd/kung fu/karate and the like just attract an insecure type of person. Thoughts?
