On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss who would win in a fight between a self-defense Jiu-Jitsu practitioner (who doesn't do any live sparring and just focuses on techniques), against a high-level sport Jiu-Jitsu competitor.
We also discuss the importance of live rolling, whether Sport Jiu-Jitsu techniques can be effective for self-defense, which BJJ techniques and positions are best for self-defense, BJJ techniques to avoid in a street fight, the importance of training with strikes, the best type of striking to add for a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, the importance of sparring, why rolling with new BJJ practitioners provides a more realistic self-defense situation, and how tournament anxiety impacts performance.
