The boys talk about the age old question in Jiu Jitsu: should you compete at least one time in Jiu Jitsu to test your skills? Paul Elliot from simplebjj.com answers this question quite eloquently in the flickchat app. We, of course, ruined what he was so precisely trying to say. While there may be many very good reasons why it would be very beneficial to you, it’s also not a necessity to get really good at BJJ. In fact, there are just as many reasons why you probably shouldn’t compete. After all, in the gym, typically at least, people aren’t really trying to hurt you. After we brutalized Paul’s article, we asked one more age old question.... would you or wouldn’t you jump into a pond after an alligator that just snatched up your puppy to pry it from that dinosaurs mouth???
