It’s often possible to force an opponent to be on the ground, but it’s impossible to force someone to stand and fight.
Therefore, victory in a free fight between two opponents generally goes to the one who masters the techniques of ground fighting.
As a result, there’s not as much room for the throws or for the strike techniques as far as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is concerned, compared to other martial arts.
Thus, during free fight,many jiu-jutsikas confront wrestlers, boxers, or karatekas within international competitions.
(Pride, Ultimate Fighting Championship), and show they are formidable fighters.
Even though jiu-jitsukas are brought to the ground and are made to fight back onto the ground, it’s a position (within the guard) that is interesting as part of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and that you have to master for the free fight.
