Your opinion? im bored...

Ditto. I could never find a bjj school that felt like I was learning any kind of decent takedowns. I went to a judo school where the teacher liked bjj so we had a bjj style class once a week. that helped out quite a bit. the bjj schools i went to always started in the guard or they couldn't wait to flop down into the guard to roll around. it just didnt seem very useful for a street confrontation, to immediately lay down on your back with your legs spread.

True of most academies. There is also a disturbing trend in a lot of BJJ schools to only teach sport BJJ, and virtually none of the self-defense techniques that formed the core of the art as Helio Gracie and other early creators of the art designed.

On the other hand, I've known quite a number of BJJ "sport" fighters with no real training in the self-defense methods or experience with other styles that still do very well the first time they get into a real fight.

In the Ace Academy we teach takedowns (for both sport competition and fighting) every class as well as strategies and techniques for street confrontation daily.

Dropping guard is how most BJJ fighters practice.

Gotta admit, the first time I saw a BJJ guy open his legs and tell me to "come on" I was a bit confused. I think thats why I got submitted about 5 times in 3 minutes...

Which makes it a perfect time for this classic:

So in the street if a guy "drops guard " and tells you to "come on" , you just walk away.... or throw a brick at him or something...
