    I like the JiuJitsu but there’s plenty of competition for that without the repeated concussive trauma of striking. I don’t like seeing people getting concussion for sport.

      I’d agree jujitsu can be fun to watch, but really only if you know what you’re looking at. You see a punch land you know damage just occurred, the untrained eye sees a wrist/arm in the wrong place has no idea how close a sub may be. I hear you on the concussion aspect and it is an unfortunate reality of the sport. I wish more money was being spent on research into CTE and treatments.
