    when ur on the mat long enough the labels mean less and less - judo, bjj, sambo, submission, wrestling....its all just 'grappling'. and grappling is about the most efficient way of controlling another human without strikes.

    Interesting, but I think labels are necessary to devolp a cohesive sport. In the same way we have Boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai and not just "striking", Grappling needs its constituent sports and its niche experts.

    People dont hurt people on the mat, EGOS do.

    Everyone has an Ego, the mats would be empty without them. It just needs to be tempered with a healthy dose of humility and control :)

    I tend to agree a lot here. Human beings by nature are dependent on labels, names, origin and identity. I'm attracted to the nature of sub' wrestling but not Judo, but the two are probably the same side of the one coin.

    So in essence lads, if it's submissions I'm after, it's back to the big blue sack and the white belt? :o
