About the current BJJ in the world:
"As a teacher I always like to give a full view of jiu jitsu to all my students. From self defense, to competition and no-gi techniques. If you get too focused on a helicopter sweep or on the x-guard and spend years training only that, you will find a lot of trouble without the gi or in an mma fight." - Rickson Gracie
I agree with this, I pretty much play closed guard and butterfly but late have been adding X-guard in with some of my butterfy sweeps, sometimes I am worried that I will rely on this too much in no-gi situations.
