Absolute pathetic.
>>195589Counter point: OP is a faggot
>>195589Fighting as a whole only attracts average people, unlike things like literature, anime, politics, computation, videogames, and so on (more specialized and even autistic topics) so even if channers try to meme a opinion by brute force nobody would listen to them (BJJ hate for example), not even Instagram celebs or YouTubers have so much of a impact in changing people's views.
>>195600The main thing 4,000+ hours of bjj has taught me is how fucking stupid and overhyped it isIt produces laughably bad grapplersI cringe when I see people in their pajamas repping moves against a compliant partner
>>195603BJJ gyms just don't have that gritty culture like Muay thai, boxing and wrestling.
>>195606 When you consider the culture of the Brazilians it all makes sense They were known for their cowardly underhanded ways, gang fighting in the streets, sabotaging opponents, jumping their adversaries as a group, manipulating the rules to favor themIt's baked into the cake that they lack an honorable warriors heart. The trickle down effect 2 generations later is a bunch of pussies too afraid to fight and wanting the easy way outFor over 100 years guard pulling was considered a cowardly dishonorable act, and one who does it is running away from a fightso this could be the only result if you base your entire identity around such a practice
>>195626Thinly veiled /pol/ posting.>When you consider the culture of the Brazilians it all makes senseIt doesn't, we despise any signs of cowardice.>They were known for their cowardly underhanded ways, gang fighting in the streets, sabotaging opponents, jumping their adversaries as a group, manipulating the rules to favor themMaybe by foreigners who learned about other countries from /pol/>It's baked into the cake that they lack an honorable warriors heartLaughable>For over 100 years guard pulling was considered a cowardly dishonorable act, and one who does it is running away from a fight so this could be the only result if you base your entire identity around such a practiceThat's what happens when any martial art turns into a sport, retardPic related is you btw
>>195634you're acting like I'm not exposed to brazilians all the daycompletely ripe with visa overstaying anchor baby having communist sexual deviant drug users, and worst of all in my country refusing to speak englishI'd rather be around mexicans than braziliansI hear that language and immediately get the smell of a sulfuric fart stuck in my nose
>>195642You mean the annoying richfags and the vira-lata faggots who flee the country at the first opportunity they see? Yeah, that for sure represents the whole population lmao
>>195643not my fault that's what you're exporting into the world like I said the most obnoxious ill mannered people I've ever come into contact with
>>195645Fair, I don't like these people either
>>195589That guy is usually more-or-less technically right, or at least not wrong, but is such a fag about it he's nearly unwatchable. Not seeing him break through to big time yt stardom. Also you're wrong op, he is reddit incarnate, if anything /xs/ is DanTheWolfman for being a disagreeable shitbird that may-or-may-not actually have knowledge, but is so autistic, arrogant, and such a bad communicator no one will ever know or care.
>>195589Honestly I just had how people act like people saying martial arts is good for self defense means that we suddenly think training marines in nothing but karate is the solution to fighting wars.Of course guns and weapons are more effective than fists. But there's a reason every armed combative force includes hand to hand combat training. Being able to use your body, which is always on hand, is always important. And not every fight needs to end with someone dying.
>>195606It isnt common but there are "bjj" that have that gritty feeling.I went to 6 gyms before I found it the head coaches is an ex ufc fighter with the other being a former Olympic wrestler.What we do can only loosely be called bjjmost of the class is guys who want to win.
>>195712Bjjs identity is DUDE WEED and laying on your backSo lameBernardo made a post before that if he could start bjj over again he would learn judo or wrestlingSuch a shameful state of affairs
>>195589Does this faggot have any kind of competition record? Or is he just a gymfighter?
>>195724He was trying to break into the icymike group and appeared at his gym with themBut he's normally with that wing Chun guy that has weird hands
>>195589I just watched a few minutes of this guy's "bjj self defence sucks" and he's 100% right about everything
>>195606Boxing training was like being tortured at times. when I tried BJJ it was like a memeUnless you're a black belt or something a boxer with 1 year training will fuck you up on the street
>>195720Bjjs idea of playing from your back to be well rounded is frustrating, but is finally beginning too change once all the old fuck black belts die out. People like Craig Jones have meme'ed it into minds of every one.I still might switch to judo, I just hate the gi. I can't find any pure wrestling gyms in city.
>>195634Fuck off Abelardo. There’s a reason people who come into frequent contact with zucas generally absolutely despise them.
>>195763 I will lay it all out for youBjj is on the way out, where like karate it may have growing popularity among normals but gets taken less and less seriously by martial arts dorksBjj is a kimono based grappling style with very rudimentary basic takedowns, no real stand up grappling skills to speak of, and a built in aversion to leg entanglement based attacksNow the white man has come along, ditched the gi, embraced wrestling, and developed new leg attacking systems to make use of attacks previously shunned and banned by the Brazilians for decadesThey call this submission grappling, and you're seeing it pop up where there gyms are now changing their names to say that instead of Brazilian jiujiujitsu The Brazilians are very salty about this because what's happening to them is what they did to the japaneseA lot of judofags say bjj is basically just judo, we've always had all that stuff too (cope and lie)Now bjjfags are looking at submission grappling and saying it's basically just bjj, we have always had all that stuff too (cope and lie)
>>195817Using your terms I have always been doing submission grappling. I have seen a fair bit of cope from bjj guys getting upset no one will listen to there out dated shit.If bjj will vanish and leave behind submission grappling I think it is for the best.
>>195819The legacy of bjj will be its asinine rules that retarded the development of grappling for a generationWe can thank keenan for accelerating its death with his lapel innovations that exposed just how stupid and easily exploited the rules areIn the future I will have nogi submission grappling only, however I will still rank people up because acquiring ranks is important for lots of folksInstead of belts though I will give them kawaii pantsu, white, tiffany, pink, duckling, and moissanite So that way people can receive something for their hard work but it's attached to a humiliation ritual because you should be embarrassed if that's what you care about
>>195600What if I have martial arts autism
