I thanked Skorzeny via e-mail for the above post, which is incredibly thorough and well-reasoned, and a nice brief history to boot. I also apologized for my uninformed bias against Brazilian Jujutsu, based not on experience, but more on the bias imparted on me by my (ex) Sensei (who is very good,who i respect, but like everyone, has biases).

I would love to have the time to just train, both martial arts and firearms, master something (!), and eventually teach. Maybe someday.

PS: I spent time last night doing internet searches, and reading from Gracie websites on BJJ. The #1 Gracie fighter (he's one of those "R" names...Rorian, Rorling, Royce, Roylion ...Rickson, yeah, that's it!)) sounds incredibly tough. some call him the toughest fighter in the world, and he's not the one who's won all the UFC championships. No small praise. www.gracie.com is a good place to read family and BJJ history, and see links to Gracie family members' sites.
