AKA's Jiu Jitsu

TS, it's taught by Dave Camarillo, a Ralph Gracie black belt.

Dave's notable black belts include John Fitch, and Josh Koscheck.

Basically, it's Dave's way of marketing Gracie BJJ.

Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu is a comprehensive martial arts system, combining the technicality and fluidity of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the explosiveness and timing of Olympic Judo, the persistent mentality of wrestling, all while holding true to the essential function behind any martial art: self defense. Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu is primarily a non-striking, grappling art that provides the practitioner the tools to defend him or herself against opponents of all sizes and statures, emphasizing the power of proper technique as a force to balance out potential strength disadvantages. Our focus is to encourage those interested in martial arts to reach their full mental, physical and technical potential, all the while participating and being involved in a fun, family friendly, yet hard working and focused environment. Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu is a martial arts system appropriate for anyone, whether it be the individual looking to get in shape, heighten one

That's really not accurate, there's definitely a huge judo influence (modern competition judo, not the same as what was first taught to the Gracies) in GJJ that Camarillo brings to the table. Watch Camarillo roll or compete, his style is more comparable to Ronda Rousey than it is to let's say... Roger Gracie or really any of today's big name BJJ representatives.







Doesn't look like Gracie Jiu-Jitsu to me.
 
Again, Cain and Cormier rarely go for subs, but they're more than just wrestlers in the cage. Think about the early wrestlers in MMA--Kevin Jackson, Randleman, Mike Van Arsdale, etc. Those guys got subbed pretty easily, and had little awareness of what a really good BJJ (or sambo or catch, etc.) fighter could do. Cormier, on the other hand, went 5 rounds with Barnett without getting subbed.

The AKA wrestlers have definitely evolved beyond the Hammerhouse level, even if their sub attempts are lacking.

im sure their subdefense is great...

But, lets be honest, Josh is an incredible subwrestler, but he aint subing anyone from his guard, he is a catch guy, now, having him on top is hell..... Submission aces are very rare in the HWd, specially competent ones, I will like to see Werdum face cain or cormier, cain fought Nog, but that was hardly an indication of cains subdefense, since the fight didnt go to the ground, well it did, with nog half dead, but again, im pretty sure their subdefense is quite good.

this is true...
 
Jon Fitch is actually the first person to go through Camarillo's system and get a black belt in guerilla jiu jitsu.
 
ITT: Idiots who think the only aspect of Ju Jitsu is submission attempts.
 
can we just call it what it really is? jiu itsu.
