    Hush now, Rabbit.
    Hobbyist does not necessarily = amateur.

        Especially you.
        Your not wrong in some regards, as I prefer the sport stuff in so many ways......
        Yet I train at a Roy Harris affiliate currently despite the fact that Clark Gracie is on the same fucking street.
        Or that Victory is about the same distance of a drive away and I really like Baker, Jocko, and Dean, and I especially like that style of submission grappling.
        I have my reasons for being where I am, and where I am and I am extremely happy there.
        But its weird cause its weird to be at a place that feels a bit disconnected from the BJJ scene here in San Diego.
        We do have an open mat that is open to everyone for free and their are a large number of other open mats like that, that I can go to around the city.

          he told us so, in his autobiography.

          And his modest gospel,

          was then repeated many times,

          and even used as anecdotal reason to edify other talespinners,

          such as the Jo man who autobiographically said he fought Musashi to a draw

          with a shortened stick in their second match, after being soundly beaten in the first.
          Lol, autohagiography...

            You've killed far fewer people than Miyamoto Musashi.

            Sit the fuck down, egomaniac.

              I didn't use hobbyist as a pejorative, Joe.

              Hobbyists run the world, Joe.

                Oh dear, you have been doing so well.

                You're not rotating too quickly again around a swiftly tilting planet, are you?

                    But I could have killed many with: Since In Judo, Ippon is symbolic of death (I so feel like this is exactly the type of argument Rabbit would make)

                      I think it might be when he literally gets paid to do JuiJitsu unless he is no longer getting paid to teach. I am not all up on his business.

                        28 victories. Your own words.

                        Are you comparing yourself to Japan's?

                            I am. I read his greatest work.

                            It was OK.

                              Only when she asks for it.
