Sorry but this isn't true at all. We train take downs at my gym and if you think my first goal would be to take someone down on concrete, you're out of your mind. If I'm in a fight that HAPPENS to go to the ground, I have the ability to control most people from there - Tell me again how that's useless.
It seems pretty obvious to me that these "call out" threads for BJJ guys are really just butthurt practitioners of other grappling arts who pretty much know that in a submission grappling match, you're probably going to end up tapping to the bjj guy. Go sell crazy somewhere else.
harai goshi onto concrete pretty much ends any fight right there, especially if you can take out a few ribs. Throw - side control - smash their face in as quickly as possible then get the hell back up. Unless you're a trained striker, trading blows with someone whilst standing is a lottery.
Folk always say "yeah but then his mate will kick you when youre down" which is true, but if it's 2 on 1 unless you're a faster runner you're probably going to get a beating anyway, standing or otherwise.
