Don't forget what MMA stands for, MIXED martial arts. A good fighter will master the elements of each separate art. By combining them all to make one super grappling system I believe we would be watering each of them down individually. Kata Garuma is still allowed.

My children also study judo, and I would tend to agree that the gi makes a child more focused, and helps to learn the kazushi control as well. I also hope that key differences of each art (such as judo ashiwaza) is not lost. It does puzzle me however, that in the interest of real world self defense, or even for sport MMA that we have not really seen wrestling, judo, and whatever we want to call no-gi judo embrace eachother into a combined and effective take-down art. Should this replace other arts? Like you, I hope not. But I think there is a place for it. Rich, all great points and to a large extent I agree with you.

If so, however, it is very discouraging. I have been interested in finding a pure Judo teacher for my son. As I have seen, regardless of how many different forms of fighting someone studies, when they get into a fight (organized or otherwise), they always seem to go back to the first form they learn. I believe that clouding the "arts" will only lessen their effectiveness when faced with a real self-defense situation. A firm foundation in one form, and in my opinion Judo is the best to start, will give a person a huge confidence in any situation. Belts, gi's, etc. only raise the element of confidence and discipline in students, especially young ones, and I personally would hate to see my son miss out on such opportunities.
