    Mmm, honesty, that shining, golden shield put up by people whose sole intention is to be a complete and utter asshole.

        ... he's talking about the norcal crew.

        just like if he was talking about new york, he'd be talking about the new york crew in this context.

          I wish that motherfucker would say something about the New York crew too.

          Say something about the NY/Boston crew. Do it. I dare you, motherfucker, I dare you.

            Ease up there, Q. Most of us who have met Hedge, like the guy because we understand what he is saying. Text doesn't get across subtext very well. Hedge is a nice guy although he has had some outbursts that may come across in a less than cool way.

            The main thing is, he has legitimate skills in his art, and he wants the site to be a legitimate source of critique. However, when the litmus test for the site's credibility seems substandard due to poor performance at these by members of staff or "experts" in their field, it makes the whole site look worse.

            We can have dozens of good experiences but those are easily forgotten in light of one bad one. Hedge would rather someone's feelings get hurt and they seek out competent instruction in a stress tested art than to have them show up to a throwdown and be coddled and miss the entire assumed point.

            Does Hedge's zeal for the BJJihad come across as jackassery? Sometimes. Is it motivated by pure motives? You better believe it.


            Edited to add on the interests of full disclosure,
            I am by no means an expert in the arts I have studied. I just enjoy it and am actively seeking to improve. Throwdowns give me a chance to test myself against people I don't often get to spar with and that allows me to gauge my skills more effectively because I don't know what game they play, I just know I need to figure it out quickly and have a better answer for it. It also exposes every weakness. All in all, throwdowns are friendly gatherings but the pressure must be there.

            I know when I roll with jnp or Zapruder they aren't going 100% with me because they know within a minute how good I am. They give me more than I know how to deal with to stress me, to show me that weakness. Instead of tearing a my acl with a heelhook or popping my elbow with an explosive armbar they get a sub and apply it enough to let me know how bad a place I am in. This lets me know that in my gym, I need to roll with these things in mind.

            So don't assume the ATX crew is advocating Thunderdome, just an honest self-assessment under the harsh light of stress.

              Fuck that. Someone needs to kick that motherfucker in the face. And I say that with the purest of intentions.

                He has been kicked in the face several times. He got better from it.

                      Indeed. He needs treatment like this:

                      Stomp him in the nuts.

                      In the nuts.

                        Well, Riley is out with A Pimp Named Slickback having hilarious cultural adventures so The Boondocks crew won't be available for the next Throwdown. Also, I wasn't the one kicking Hedge.

                            It could have been one more shitstick if someone wasn't afwaid and stayed home to go to Faces... :love7:jk


                            Having been part of the problem of half-assery (or is it faggoty footsoldiering) on the part of Norcal Crew, I hope to step it next time. But as far as BJJ goes, I have no intention whatsoever of grappling. So as far as BJJihad goes. I'm cool. Sure it's effective and all, but it's also gross.
