Fedor's opinion of BJJ

[zheka]

A lot of people train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as a base. You train Sambo as your base. What is your opinion of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?

Fedor: I think highly of BJJ. But I see some disadvantages as well. Jiu Jitsu is a rather good Martial Art base. But one need to guide newcomers at the very beginning in order to avoid and eliminate the future mistakes. I can't say combat sambo or bjj have more or less advantage in case of transition to MMA. If people get involved in it, it's only for their good. Moreover it helps popularize the sport itself. For me, personally, combat sambo is the native sport ans this is the reason I believe sambo is more versatile, dynamic, free and less monotonous.

Good interview. In it he was pure class

 

[Jimmy Cerra]

Fedor's exactly right. It's a personal decision. That's what those who think in terms of absolutes don't understand. Every person had their own strengths and weaknesses, interests, and skills. Now-a-days, there's no point to style-vs-style. This is why Fedor's the Man.
