The Poindexter analogy

Individual BJJ is determined by how you process Jiu-Jitsu as a whole.

If you see it as means for gaining more points or a submission within a relative short period of time, that’s going to produce radically different results than approaches based on survival, posture, and patience.

My interpretation is as follows:

Say there was an MMA match in an collegiate fraternal olympic competition.  The Tri-Lambs (nerds) are smart enough to realize that they can’t win under rules that favor the more athletic jock fraternity (Alpha-Betas). 

The Tri-Lambs for example, could search for something that would allow them enough staying power to induce alpha-beta exhaustion, but time limits and rounds don’t favor this goal.

Taking the above into account, and strategy of draw decided, the nerds would research far and wide for an easy to learn, non-athletic based martial art, predicated on sustaining the least amount of damage.

I believe they would eventually settle on BJJ.
