doubt it man...only way if they have been training in mma for a long time ..and this kid clearly has not been training in any mma ....i bet you would feel differently if this kid was an A student..had no facebook or twitter and was 7 inches shorter...right????...none of that matters...zimmerman initiated this whole thing..if zimm was scared he should have stayed in his car or drove away...not get out armed and go looking for this kid...not to mention the kid ran initially from zimmerman ...martin was scared ...zimm is to blame for this ...zimm started this and ended this and now zimm is to be believed on what went down?..i say f that..
UUhhhhhh , you do know that MMA is *not* the only " training " around don't you? And you do know that it's a *sport form*? And don't get me wrong , the techniques are effective , but it's sport oriented. And in point of fact GJJ is not Jiu Jitsu , Gastao Gracie originally brought Maeda over from the Kodokan for *Judo* demonstrations , what Carlos Gracie and then subsequently Helio Gracie learned was *Judo* , though it was the Kodokan syllabus from the early part of the century , which means the combat techniques and things like Dojime were still in the system.
And it doesn't take all that " long time " you're refering to , not in Judo and not in any of the true combat Jiu Jitsu systems or the modern Judo based brazilian ones.
And if you're instructing , you teach that "lock" for the ring , in the *original* systems that lock is a mere prelude to the *break* , the modern world of course dictates a case by case application of force and control through application of pain , example: Wally Jay's ' Small Circle' theories and the stuff that came down from Okazaki through Sig Kufferath within Danzan-Ryu.
