Pankration's ground game

[gracie_barra**]

Is Pankration/Shoot Fighting or other Vale Tudo-esque styles ground game comparable to decent BJJ lessons? I might take Pankration on my BJJ off days, hopefully it will strengthen my no Gi and take downs, and the transition from standup to ground. Note I already take BJJ so I got ground exp already.

It's just like anything else. If you find a good instructor, it will help your game immensely.
