Anti-BJJ Never heard of it. did you make that up for this question...?
Hmm, I agree with the first poster - being able to counter is a more well rounded plan
yes
Chuck Liddell did anti-grappling. When someone goes for a single leg takedown and grabs his leg, he can remain standing, relaxes his leg and is able to takes his leg away from his opponent.
Not me.

Being anti-grappling/anti-BJJ is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard of. Long before there was sport grappling, men were tackling and wrestling each other to the ground. Grappling started with cavemen and was finally developed into a "skill" in ancient Greece and ancient India. Over the centuries, grappling has become even more scientific. Being anti-grappling is like being "anti-wrench." We need wrenches to do things that our hands can't do. Grappling is a tool and a skill.
do u even lift bro?
...and here we have another way to package what has been around in traditional martial arts forever (see pugpaws answer). ...but to tell you the truth you might actually have something marketable there from a 'making lots of money' point of view. It might become the latest craze complete with a fashion line. Anti-Taek Won Do classes, Anti-Karate classes, Anti-BJJ classes, Anti-MMA classes, that might be the real big one as everybody learns MMA now,....
That sounds like a load of bs, as well as sounds like someone who is full of ****. Counters to grappling have been in various styles of martial arts for centuries, you can find them in books going back to the Okinawan bubishi written in the 1600's.
You sound like your talking out of your ***, but then again you usually do.
We've all heard of the Anti-BJJ movement. In response to the growing threat of BJJ, many styles have taken up to learning anti-BJJ. Since then, people have been going to anti-so and so camps, if they're fighting people that specialize in something. For example Miesha Tate went into an anti-armbar camp before fighting Ronda Rousey.
My questions are, if anyone here practices anti-BJJ, or some form of anti-so and so. Do you think it's a viable way to stop someone's gameplan in a fight or self defense situation? Or do you believe instead of practicing anti-BJJ, the best way to stop BJJ, is to learn BJJ, or whatever it is you're trying to stop?
Where are you getting this info from? I've never heard of anti-anything in martial arts. If you're practicing defending an armbar or BJJ, you're still practicing jits. Meisha Tate brought in a former teammate of Ronda Rousey's--someone who can do the things she does--in order to train for her. The best way to train defense against a martial art is to understand and practice it. *I have heard of "defensive" jui jitsu which might be closer to what you're talking about. Same thing applies though.
my striking coach taught us how to control range to stay out of grappling situations
