Dan Gable is the greatest that's ever lived. But never fought in MMA.

BJJ is just great all around - but hellish on the body.
Submissions don't work unless your strong enough to hold them...my wife can't hold me in an arm bar or a choke hold for any longer than I want her to. That's where I thought Aikido would do better - it gets them away from her, just for a second - so she can get away.
My thinking is... get them away from you as quickly as possible, so you can get away.
