Bjj Black Travis Stevens wins Masters World Championship

[Raycetpfl]

I think this finally proves what we have all known for a long time. Judo is good but Bjj is better.

Travis Stevens wrecked shop and it was awesome.

I am just glad for France that there was no Open Weight. Travis would have had to wreck shop on their Teddy Reindeer with a flying GOGO-Plata.
I hope Travis can take gold in Rio and not catch the Zika virus.

it's just astonishing how he managed to do this with *no training in judo at all*

praise helio!

So there is an American Judoka winning something? Props to him.

So not really a masters competition, no age brackets. How is this different from any other IJF event?

To be fair to Judo, I think he may have taken a few Judo classes.

The ijf confuses me. When I went to the ijf Web page it calls it "The World Championship". They call it the last and highest scoring judo competion for Olympic qualification.

You trolin', bro'?

I didn't see any BJJ there, any more than I didn't see any Judo.

Look up Kayla Harrison...she is winning too. Jimmy Pedro is her coach. He learned all his armbar skills from BJJ. Just ask him, he will tell you....

You should man up and enter a few judo contests.

But at what belt!?

But at what belt!?

LOL, very funny, but good question. I'd have to see his ukemi under Judo conditions and what passes for standup grappling in his case. It's mainly a safety, then understanding the rules sort of issue.

I suggest Rayce go work out with Rhadi for a while. Although I think Rhadi is pretty busy with private clients at this point in time.

This Jimmy Pedro?

It seems he is skilled... considering American Judo standards.

I would like to. That sounds like fun.
