I'd like to see that stupid android go against, say, Semmy Schilt...

Something like that would be fun to spar against when doing technique work, I guess, though it will eventually get boring when you realize blood and teeth don't fly from an android...

Well, we already have a subscription service called "PRO," but I don't think Kirik or David Roy (the owners) are willing to make the entire site subscription. It would just turn away too many people, even if it was only a dollar, and they'd go right to our compitition, matbattle.com and sherdog.com.

Vale Tudo, No Holds Barred, etc
Includes Cardio, weight training, martial arts skills, critical thinking, self-defense, striking, kicking, grappling, etc.

Look at Randy Couture, 40 years old, top light heavy weight UFC fighter. Plus he does the Eco Challenge.

Don't know much about the tech side of it though. But sometimes you just want to get away from the tech for awhile.

...so they get through those first seconds and minutes at the beginning of an attack before the defenders can react.

See also the spectacular example of Bob Sapp K1 fighter, former soccer player.

...he means this hard cop.

Also, the bitch position, though I'd never pull it on concrete or in jail is a position of decent power. When used aggressively (a great example is in Frank (not Ken) Shamrock's destruction of Tito Ortiz several years back) it definitely has its merits. You can use your hips to weaken the top man's punching ability as well as gain incredible leverage for submission holds.

You have to keep watching the family. There are a lot of Gracies, with many distinctive styles. Some of them are cruel bastards who enjoy knocking people the fuck out...Now my favorite fighters aren't Gracies (except Renzo Gracie who's school I go to :)) but I give most of them much respect. After all even though Royce abused the bitch position he still won... Nate

Now I personally don't like Royce Gracie's overuse of the Guard (the bitch position) and I find it hypocritical that his self-defence book doesn't contain even one instance of it. But the idea of the guard is that it's the best position to be in when things go wrong and you're on bottom. None of the Gracies has any problem with taking guys down, GETTING ON TOP and then punching OR arm barring them into submission. It's just that fights don't always work that perfectly...

In summary, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is about doing what works...get positional dominance first and then have your way with your opponents (sounds gay I know). It doesn't even discount groin stuff and eye-gouging, it just argues that you're better off doing them from a position of dominance. The thing about having mats and no nasty stuff is that it prevents the fighters from being brutalized more then they have to be (and having known many winners and losers trust me they get brutalized aplenty). But yeah, it does have the nasty side-effect of popularizing that bitch position :(...
