He said he's not a millionaire

Yeah I'm not trying to be a jerk. I just interpreted it as hyperbole. Obviously you don't have to be a millionaire. But you do need above average income in most practical places to live

That doesn't negate what I said. Most homeowners are not millionaires. I'm certainly not.

Yeah I just think he was exaggerating a little bit. The point is that buying a home isn't an average persons game anymore

Most homeowners aren't millionaires. Do you live in one of those super HCOL areas?

Yeah because most homeowners were fortunate enough to buy before 2021 lol. But really, yeah you don't have to be a millionaire but you better either have two decent incomes or one really good one. Either that or you have to move somewhere that absolutely nobody wants to live far as hell away from any halfway big city

If you're sure the guy you grab and wrestle to the ground doesn't have a knife on him or something.

Lol well, we're just completely invalidating any fighting methods in general if we're bringing weapons into the equation. But yeah, BJJ isn't very effective against a 12 gauge I'll admit lol

The whole reason BJJ and other grappling arts thrive in MMA is because the rules protect their weaknesses and give them an unfair advantage

Being able to actually take someone down and grapple effectively can absolutely help you win a street fight lol. I'd actually say having a good ground game is the most important factor that could save your ass from being pounded to dust. Sure every combat sport is a controlled setting with rules but anyone in the ufc would absolutely annihilate you or me in a street fight too because they are highly trained in multiple martial arts, wrestling, etc

MMA fighters train in multiple fighting styles, than apply the parts that work. That's the point.

Although a lot of that does end up being grappling.

And even MMA doesn't allow you to hit people in the groin, which technically speaking, falls under the "real fight" scenario, because at the end of the day it still only exists because it can be profited off as entertainment, and they can't have all the fights devolve into the groin hit speedrun.

A lot of street fights go to the ground though and someone trained in BJJ definitely has the upper hand on the ground. And yeah, I'd agree it's mostly just important for grappling. But more often than not in mma, the guy with a really good ground/submission game has the upper hand over a good standup striker with poor ground ability

Yeah he did. He proved he's a dumbass

FYI MMA has proven most established forms of traditional martial arts don't actually work in a real fight.

"Real Fight" being, a fight where the opponent is uncooperative, and not restricting themselves to the same fighting style as you.

A lot of the best mma fighters are trained in BJJ so I don't really agree. Anyway, martial arts can absolutely be applied in a street fight. But it's important to go into a street fight knowing it's not in a controlled setting and that you need to be prepared for anything

Gonna suck a lot a peepees
