Ever heard this before?
You know the scene, you meet some friends of a friend whilst out playing pool at the nearest pub and the question crops up, "So are you in any clubs or play sport at all?". Now I should really have learnt from experience to just say, "oh a little Judo.", but foolishly BJJ always get's a mention to people that have no idea what it is.
Then the inevitable question is asked...
"So uh, what's the difference between Brazilian and 'normal'?"
Normally I end up having to explain differing training methods, go on to aliveness in training and by this point their eyes have glazed over and they respond with,
"so what would you do if I did a flying kick into you?"
*facepalm*
So what do you guys think? any ways you've succeeded or failed miserably at explaining Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to a person that thinks Kata will make you an 'Ultimate Battle Warrior'?
