-Blue belt level BJJ rendering a second degree blackbelt in TKD unconscious. Easily. -Avid BJJ guy, knew his shit, attended for years, gets his ass handed to him by a Marine. The Marine was a diesel mechanic who, I shit you not, got honorable discharge for a non-combat related back-injury. Yes, the fight in question was after said injury -I've done a lot of stuff, mostly TKD, ten years, didn't really distinguish myself, assistant instructor for kid's class, trying to get my teacher to sponsor my second degree blackbelt. I kicked the marine in the head, regular old round-house kick and he couldn't get back up for two minutes. -Some scrawny Canadian kid, couldn't have been more than a hundred and seventy five pounds, took wrestling in high school, apparently no serious martial arts experience, squeaks past one of my kicks and locks me down immediately in a hold I can only describe as effective. If he'd wanted to, he could've blacked me out.
Moral of this story: "Best" doesn't belong to a school. It goes to individuals.
In before "bullshit, internet tough guy, etc etc" like someone's going to lie about ten years at some suburban belt factory. If I were going to lie, I'd have said capoeira or Gracie School Jiujitsu. Or Krav Maga which I know nothing about. My ignore gives it mystic power in my mind, not unlike placebos or religion.
