In every gym, there is always that one individual who effortlessly prevails over their opponents, even at an advanced age, without relying on contemporary Jiu Jitsu techniques like berimbolos or intricate lapel work. They simply adhere to the fundamental principles of old school Jiu Jitsu and consistently dictate the pace of training sessions.

It is widely recognized that Old School Jiu Jitsu is remarkably efficient, as demonstrated by its pivotal role in elevating Jiu Jitsu to prominence within the realm of martial arts. In the past, Jiu Jitsu underwent rigorous testing through challenges against various martial arts such as capoeira, judo, and boxing. The Gracie family, in particular, played a significant role in popularizing Jiu Jitsu across the nation. Subsequently, they established the Ultimate Fight Championship, once again showcasing the superiority of Jiu Jitsu over other martial arts.

Upon reflection, it becomes apparent that techniques like lasso guard, fifty fifty, or berimbolo did not exist during those times. Instead, the focus was on the potent and effective principles of Old School Jiu Jitsu. Firm grips, unwavering pressure, and precise execution formed the bedrock of this style, which continues to be revered as one of the finest in our discipline.

Comparing fighting styles is a subjective and intricate matter. Declaring one style as superior or inferior to another necessitates thoughtful consideration, as it is inadequate to base such judgments solely on comparing two fighters, each representing a different style.

While many argue that the old school approach is antiquated and that newer styles are superior, a recent Super Fight between Roger Gracie and Marcus Buchecha proved otherwise. Roger Gracie, representing the old school style, demonstrated the enduring power of this approach.

Old School Jiu Jitsu not only offers ease of learning and teaching, but it also provides a solid foundation for acquiring new styles. A fighter who possesses a strong grounding in Old School Jiu Jitsu can readily adapt and incorporate new techniques, as all modern styles are built upon the foundation of Old School Jiu Jitsu.
