    One thing about Roger Gracie, and his father, who got his Blackbelt from Rolls, is they're big into self-defence. There are Blackbelts that sneak into the back of Roger's academy(obviously not his students) to watch the self-defence techniques because they don't know it. This is not a joke. I think we're the only academy in Ireland that teaches self-defence.

    BJJ players are arrogant if they think they couldn't get their ass handed to them in a street fight if they don't train it, competitors or not. We need to remember how this started.
    You mean like how Eddie Bravo and Jean-Jacques Machado brown belt Joe Rogan( he would have also had Eddie Bravo in his earpiece watching from the production trailer during that UFC broadcast as a technical analyst. Because of this job that Joe Rogan got Eddie Bravo that's why he named a position the truck) named a basic guillotine counteroffensive choke after a crap MMA fighter because he had never seen it before?
    All of my students will know this it's part of the Gracie basics as a white belt. The uninitiated know it as the von flu choke

    I mean I know there different levels of training it, but I thought that what is typically called "Gracie Combatives" was typical white belt curriculum.

    I thought some just focused on it more than others.

    It definitely matters to you. You train in his shadow.

    You're right.

    Just being red-headed does NOT make you a "ginger".

    Hey, I am a lazy 47 year old that trains for exercise.

    And because otherwise I would just lay in bed, eat fried chicken, drink martini's, suck on nicotine lozenges, and watch the adult entertainment channels.

    I don't know about the murder thing.

    I'm always like, "hey buddy, how are you doing there" when I roll.
