The Importance of Striking

I'm a big believer that if I were to start someone from scratch now at this point to prepare for physical combat, I think striking is a good start. And then actually before Jiu Jitsu, I think learning judo and the skills of judo trying to get people off and keep them away with prior to going to the ground actually creates a well rounded, capable fighter. Being decent at a lot of different things is probably going to be better than being an expert in one thing.
