great piece! in fact i’d like to say this is the best piece i’ve read about bjj on here
im a wing chunner & close combat stylist to be clear
so though i dont bjj, chun is stand up grappling where we simultaneously trap & strike
i took a lot from your piece for my own work
and also i celebrate the thoughtful nature and practicality of your piece.
when i open a bjj article on substack it usually is rather valid. an article will praise bjj for “giving us a third space.” when meanwhile all martial arts do that. heck a mcdonals’s does that
