The truth is you see this with ANYTHING, from Sports Teams, to Cars, to Politics. Anything that people feel passionate about, they will speak passionately about it. Martial Arts goes a step further because it is so closely associated with combat ability, which is something at our very core we associate with success. Mostly it is a subconscious thing, but many guys (even "humble" Martial Artist) will not ever seriously commit that someone could beat them up, because in a caveman/animal sense that would be saying the person is better than you.

This is not a conscious thing, this is just something that still stems from our instincts.

Contrary to above I don’t think Elitism comes anymore from MMA, Bullshido, or Traditional arts. I think it just comes from people’s Pride in it period. The funny thing is the same people boasting that it is all about Pride, or because the UFC is sporting cash, etc. Are also being elitist as well. They bash guys who are literally doing Martial Arts for a career, they train in various arts, hone their body into a weapon, and do nothing but make themselves as good as they can be.

Yet instead of getting the respect they deserve, they get ‘They are animals" or because someone flipped through an episode of the Ultimate Fighter (where 16 guys are trapped in a house with No TV, no phone, no contact with the outside world, and encouraged to put on a show because they know that equals more camera time a ton of egos, and know they all have to fight each other, people make some sort of judgement on those fighters, or say MMA is full of egomaniacal wreckless jock guys. When that is far from how the reality is.

I think it comes just like anything else, you have what you believe in, what you feel strongly about, and you defend it. I have seen just as many overzealous aetheist as religious zealots.

People defend what they believe in, to the point of outright degrading those who feel in opposite of them.

Whether they try to do it in more tactful manner, or accuse other people of being prideful or egomanical, they are doing it just the same.

Martial Arts is something people spend years learning, invest a lot of emotion into, and are passionate about. Naturally they are going to feel that what they do is the best because it justifies to them why they do it.

Not everyone is this way, but many people here are. The simple truth is if anyone is actually honest they say "Well I study this, and I realize that it has it’s flaws, and isn’t really as useful as this or that, but I love it, I enjoy it, and it makes me happy.

The truth is all Martial Arts have something you can take away from them, all can suit different purposes for different people. All have some sort of realm of effectiveness, even if that realm isn’t in combat effectiveness but in personal development.

All these people who say that other people don’t know what Martial Arts is about are the ones fooling themselves. Because Martial Arts is about many different things to many different people. To some it is a cultural interest, to others a fun physical activity, to others a means of hand to hand combat effectiveness, others it means discipline, etc.

Martial Arts are about what the practioner feels they are about, and it is different for everyone, and varies for everyone.

People are always going to be biased about their ideals, Martial Arts is no exception. You go to the computer section and ask what is better a PC or a MAC, and you will get the same impassioned speeches, the same slamming of the other side, and some level headed answers. You go to aCollege American Football section and ask who is better LSU, or USC, you will get the exact same thing.

You go to politics and ask who is right, Democrats or Republicans, again, same passion, same elitist behavior, same "We are right, they are wrong" type of things.

It is because these things aren’t solid or concrete, they are based on biased, personal belief and opinion. Each side will use pseudo fact to back their argument, some will outright lie, and all will make outrageous statements about the other side as well.

So in short, I don’t think you see this in just the Martial Arts section, it is everywhere. Martial Arts happens to have a lot of passionate people who have devoted some time, or at least some emotional investment towards a style, or styles, and each have a different idea of what martial arts are for, and what is better.

All in all, it comes down to the very basic instinct for survival of the fittest inside of us. We all want to be the best, we think our way is the best (otherwise why would we do it) and obviously what we think or feel is the right way. (otherwise why would we think or feel it).

Nobody is ego free in that regards, unless they just have an incredibly low self esteem or self worth.

Here there are a lot of Alpha types, you kind of have to be to get involved with Martial Arts and to spend the time and devotion to train in them. We are all ego driven, that is human nature.

Well that is MY whole theory which probably has some truths, some pseudo fact, and is trying to generalize something that can not be generalized, but I think you get the idea.

When attempting a sit out reversal from the turtle position, one common counter especially if your opponent is larger than you, is to bear hug your torso. This variation of the sit out exploits your opponents grip, allowing you to reverse the position.
