Gael Coadic, founder of Gracie Barra Fox Team, kind of goes off on a rant.
Its hard for me to agree with him but I don't really see or experience this whole BJJ mindset he speaks of.
I have seen the competitive BJJ guys respect the fuck out and cross train in Judo, SAMBO, and Wrestling(while constantly watching members of those groups try and disrespect the fuck out BJJ).
Is their a bit of arrogance? Also yes, but is it arrogance when its well earned?
Anyways Those of you that have different experiences than I, I would love to hear from.
Almost always when I see stuff like this, its because they are having a hard time competing against a gym in the area with a champion in it.
No, I am not willing to talk shit about Gael, its just I have seen a lot of the "Modern BJJ is x talk" I just think that talk has to be more money motivated than respect of the art motivated. With the understanding that sure some of it is respect of the art motivated.
