marc laimon has beaten a gracie . jiu jitsu vs bjj. He said their BJJ is actually quite poorly done - relative to the way he does things..
The gracies invented BJJ.
The reason why you associate UFC with BJJ, is because of the Gracie relationship to UFC. THe early UFCs were won by Royce Gracie, who beat much bigger and heavier and stronger opponents. at a time when nobody had heard of jiu jitsu. He also invented the UFC idea itself I think.
Also, somebody said that some BJJ clubs are a bit gay. So if going into it, I would stick to jiu jitsu.. though personally i am not sure about them either. If they wore trousers and shirts it is ok! Remember, this is on hte ground. I would not want some guy to wrap his legs around my head or lie on top of me bare chested. - with me bare chested too. That is horrible to me. I think I mentioned that in another thread.

True, but I am wondering how authentic this "Abir" is or if it's been modified to "appeal" to people? Many comment his form is unusual.
jdl4ever:
There is nothing "ancient Israel" about Yehoshua Sofer's style. He simply took other existing forms of martial arts from China and Japan and used them to make his own techniques. I showed my father one of his videos and he recognized some of the guy's moves and their style but I forgot what he said since that was a while ago.

Did Israel have any ancient martial arts?

Nope, they didn't have any.
