Knowing about Bruce Lee and reading his book and philosophies are what made me passionate about learning and practicing martial arts.  His quote of ” Be Water my Friend” and “Absorb Whats Useful and Rejects What’s Useless” are really the credos that make me love learning martial arts without any prejudice of where it came from.

It is always about functionality and performance to me in combat.  As I came from a striking background of Tae Kwon Do in the past, learning about grappling arts especially takedows and throws were new to me.

Because of this, after discovering and training Brazilian Jiujitsu, i thought I would just focus on few takedowns attacks and defenses. My strategy is always to utilize my striking to get to the takedowns, but these are the 20% of takedowns that I employ to produce 80% outcome. Combining these with the 80/20 clinching skills (check out my 80/20 Clinch Skills article) has been serving me well for a long time in sparring matches.
