It makes so much sense
The gracies all act like Black folk so their students all act like Black folk
Thank dog for Judo dojos
Seriously though, the gracies are total lying cheating arrogant c**ts, how the frick can anybody idolise them?
Rugby players have less brain damage since they're taught to tackle and fall better than Football players. Football players are covered in padding and helmets and are just kind of told to throw themselves at the other guy because "you've got protection lol."
In Rugby, you're taught how to properly tackle another player and how to fall. A lot of off-season Rugby players actually take Judo because Judo teaches how to brace and fall to the ground properly.
Rugby and Judo (Rudo lol) is the most lethal fighting art you could come up with.
In my stammering, I forgot to say why BJJ is stupid and bad.
It's because it sucks and ground-fighting specific arts are fricking gay (especially wrestling) and you should do Judo instead.
You sir are moronic.
Did bjj all college, lived in japan for a bit and picked up judo. Judo is superior for practical self defense and more fun.
Not really. If you go to a good BJJ gym, you work stand up every single day and you only start standing when rolling. Judo throws are based but a good bJJ gym will go over the majority of the throws as well as wrestling take downs that aren't allowed in judo.
If you train at a good BJJ gym it is far superior to Judo or any other grappling martial art.
I mean not really, you learn the same submissions in judo for the most part, and the standing game is simply much stronger. It's really just a difference of emphasis. If you're going to bbe focusing on standing, you're just doing judo at a bjj gym.
judo isnt just the throws. judo techniques only work live when the player can instinctively feel their opponents balance at all times, which takes many years, thousands of repetitions and multiple opponents to get right. you can pick up these skills really quickly when you train with high level judoka, but when youre learning a judo throw from a non judoka you really cant develop that feel in the same way. no other grappling art has the same understanding of balance that judo does.
and bjj players talk too much and dont train very hard
>cope
Gotcha.
try throw me with a bjj tier judo throw and see what happens moron
Wait
Are you saying you can't take a seasoned judo practitioner down with a double / single leg?
WTF
>seasoned
hell no
Correct post.
>t. BJJ main
Judo and BJJ are brother arts, each focused on one aspect of Jujutsu and lacking where it doesn't focus. They're better in conjuction or at least inter gym cooperation than they can be on their own while engaging in silly console wars.
Basically this. In practical self defense it's just not ideal to be on the floor when their boys show up.
If you train at a good BJJ Gym you will work take downs a lot. BJJ is the superior grappling art.
Not nearly to the same extent as a judoka will, just like even if a judoka trains at a good school he'll know lots of ne-waza, but not to the extent a BJJ fighter does.

Uh idk about that. I had a teammate that had to have multiple brain surgeries after college. He was a workhorse and played rugby since high school.
>constantly compared themselves to fighting bigger people, “lol you don’t need muscles or conditioning, just roll bro”
fricking this bro.
I taught english in thailand for three years, got super into muay thaiy. Fast forward a couple years, grad school, friend invites me to a UFC watch party with his "gym" friends. I show up, turns out they are all bjj dudes, they find out i dabbled in MT and I swear they were like the fricking seagulls from Madagascar, half a dozen dudes repeating over and over

A ground game is important and wins fights, no shit. But goddamn it sounded like cultish manlet cope to me.
played rugby from u13 to open. Concussions are the norm. You can learn how to tackle all you want, you'll still catch a knee to the face in a ruck.
Cause it is. Ground game is important yeah, but BJJ requires engagement to work. Thats why it has this cultish mentality. Its like a biomechanical MMM where the only way the system really works is if the other person is going against it. If you get your escapes down & really focus on that instead of seeking a tap, you actually stay safer & neutralize damn near all of bjj.
I changed my game totally to getting the frick out from bottom as quick as possible and getting top position. Sweeps, escapes and a lot of wrestling stuff which I found way simpler, easier to pull off and higher percentage. Throw in some sub defense and overall sub awareness and you'll be annoying as frick to bjj dudes.
I've since switched to judo and wrestling. I don't care about learning all the new sport based guards and shit.
Forces on AFB players are a lot higher than Rugby, because of the padding.
If you "learn how to tackle", well the other guy is going full-force choochoo train braindamage be damned and is gonna steamroll your QB
Rugby players can go full Black folk sometimes because of their "team mentality" basically if you have a problem with one dude you are suddenly being jumped by at least 7 dudes.
Isn't that most team sports though? Especially contact sports
Yeah a lot of Bjj schools are run by morons, especially those where the coach isn’t Brazilian and doesn’t care about competitions.
How have I been in 10p gyms for over a decade and never meet a single flat earthen? Yet every bored redditor brings it up like its common. I've rolled with most of the competitive guys and never heard it.

BJJ is the gayest shit ever. It's literally about rolling around and sticking your face in another man's sweaty crotch.
That's what's wrong with BJJ. There is no reason to get good at that shit. You will never put it to use and you will have spent countless hours of your life with your face in another man's crotch for no good reason.
lotta cope because you dont know how to grapple

They could but the key is we both know you wouldn't. Simple as.

BJJ practicioners are the biggest copers there are. They have to go around and pick fights with strangers to justify all the times they buried their face in some dude's buttcrack to master a worthless skill.
I will live my life having never gotten in a stupid fight and having never stuck my face in another man's buttcrack.
Do striking martial arts like Boxing, Kickboxing or Muay Thai instead, all of them are really nice and a bit moronic since they got hit in the head a lot
Frick off with your homosexual demoralization thread.
God I love Jiu Jitsu so much bros. I would probably be dead if I didn't start training 5 years ago.
Glad you found your way out of the closet.

False. Leandro Lo was a fricking monkey looking for fights in every nightclub he went.
Frick around, find out.
nah witness said the homosexual cop is purple belt bjj, knew who leandro lo was and still tried to stole a bottle of alcohol from leandro lo table and started the fight. obviously he got folded and the gay got so salty he got his gun and just shot leandro after everything was over
They sound based to be honest.
Maybe you should try yoga and drink kale instead.
Yoga is actually based, pairs nice with my Judo/BJJ.
I'm literally a 6ft 160lb lanklet but when I went to an mma gym the instructor acted sarcastically like I was the toughest person there all I wanted to do was learn
there's some homosexuals in BJJ for sure but there's a lot of genuinely cool and good dudes in the space. Can't lump all BJJ guys together like that, 10p freaks are massive tools typically.
Bjj only works when you have rules that protect you from effectivley countering it. The stupid lay on your back and scoot is dangerous when you are actually allowed to use moves that work against bjjj
Yeah that's why you either need to take Judo or get lucky and find a gym that forces you to do standup. Pulling guard as the default makes your grappling Aikido tier
>what judokas think their real life opponents will be wearing.
No. Judo is fake and just a sport as much as bjj. Do something real like Japanese jujutsu.
>you don't just hook joints, punch them instead of driving a grip, or trip them in exactly the same way when they don't have a gi...
I ain't above using a hair grip or fricking up some idiot'sclothes. Judo is fine irl lol.
Most clothes rip before finishing any real throw. And you can't rely on someone having long grippable hair for your art to even work.
That being said I love judo. It's just not perfect. No martial art covers all areas. Learn them all, and you won't have any holes in your game. Plus, good judo gyms teach no gi grips too. Undertook throws, head throws, practice grabbing wrists instead of the sleeve sometimes, etc.
>Do something real like Japanese jujutsu
Every place I know that teaches it is a ninjutdu-tier meme
Lol you can use BJJ in a real fight without rule restrictions.
Try escaping a strong knowledgeable attackers mount
"Just stand up bro"
moron.
Escaping a mount is easy, just give the guy a wedgie and upa.
But grabbing the pants is banned in MMA so no dice.
Frick you're right.
That's just the IBJJF ruleset, there are other competition formats that don"t adhere to those rules. BJJ still works, at the end of the day it's submission grappling and that shit was popular around the world for thousands of years for a reason.
>The stupid lay on your back and scoot is dangerous when you are actually allowed to use moves that work against bjjj
That's just an exploit in the rules of BJJ comps, because if you engage, you get in a disadvantageous position and if you don't then it's you who gets penalized for passivity
BJJ, and all submission grappling for that matter, has been tested rigorously in the form of MMA matches and the results speak for themselves
>obviously fixed fight from one of the most corrupt promotions in history
This isn’t the own you think it it’s if you tried to do a gay little soccer kick or stomp to someone pulling guard you’d end up in an arm bar or giatine before you could even say “whoops”
Any good gym teaches a well rounded grouping of grappling. Mine teaches bjj, wrestling, judo, and of course mma. You need to learn all of these to be well rounded. Just saying "lul what if they punch you" is stupid. Someone who is a master in all of these different forms plus striking will kick ass in any format. And if you run into someone who ONLY knows striking and no grappling, you crush them. If you run into someone who butt scoots and jets out of the gym the second striking starts, you'll crush him too. Its not that complicated. Just become proficient in everything.
Mixed fighters get destroyed by pure disciplines every time in street fights
The hell are you talking about? Who in any of the high end pro mma are specialists anymore? There's a few, sure, hardly any of them are champions. Only standout I can think of is Khabib, but he's more of ground in general specialist, not one specific art. Plus his striking is no joke, which is why he can get his takedowns so easily. You CANT be in modern mma without being incredibly well rounded. Sure, you can have your strong points, your main game plan, but holy hell you need to be world class in everything THEN be better than anyone else in that one skillset.
Yet MMA fighters all suck at striking.
Oh nvm you said street fights. Opinion disregarded. Sure, some black belt or national champion can murk some rando on the streets who did a month of every discipline but never stuck to one. Fricking street fights...
I can't get into BJJ because I hate people touching me.

what did you expect?
eddie's and Joe rogan's influence 100% , I used to go to 10th planet HQ back in 2009-2013, every other person there had 'comedy' material and was very conspiracy minded but with the 2010 ie 9/11 and flat earth. Also everyone had a hard on for ayahuasca but had never tried it.
Grappling like BJJ or wrestling combined with Boxing or Kickboxing/ Muay Thai etc. is a hell of a combination and you'll destroy anyone but a gun will destroy you, lol.
Also BJJ is filled with morons and its completely fricks your body and joints.
You go to a shit gym. That's all there is to it. All there gyms I've been to cultivated a very nice atmosphere in which everyone's priorities were
>getting better at BJJ
>helping others get better at BJJ
Friendly and respectful towards others' abilities and goals. I've lost count of how many times more experienced people took time off their training to help me out with a technique they noticed me struggling out of theor own initiative, and how often other guys around my level and did the same for more inexperienced members. Again, this wasn't a one off, it's been my experience across multiple gyms.
>>some white purple belt from Wisconsin kept saying “OSS”
As he should, BJJ already lost most of its cultural ties to Judo, the few that remain should be preserved. You WILL bow, you WILL seiza and you WILL "Osu".
You got to a shitty gym
Should’ve taken up wrestling or boxing
>lol you don’t need muscles or conditioning, just roll bro
LMAO yup that's a 10th planet gym alright! I'm a BJJ globetrotter myself and I've seen it all. The MMA gyms are always the most rooted in reality whereas the leglock gyms are full of delusional morons. I've stomped every 10th planet black belt I've ever rolled against with no resistance whatsoever and I'm just a weekend warrior brown belt with a high school wrestling background.
Saying osu or calling your coach "professor" and whatnot are just idiosyncrasies of martial arts. Don't be that guy who tries to be cool by shitting on everything.
Bro, try being a 10p guy that doesn't play fricking footsie with people.
I like my gym, I like the people a lot of quality rolls. But I'm a brown belt and minus newer guys going for key locks and the like, mother frickers never Kimura grip in a transition, or control the neck. They just swim under for a leg, or turn their hips for one.
The HQ guys are a lot more fundamental, but most any gym outside of the Cali area is just footlocks.
I've had none of these problems at a Gachimuchi gym
the overlap between nu-atheists and bjj is interesting. a lot of dorks go to bjj. they talk about checking their ego because most of them are egomaniacal c**ts that learned how to "fight".
truth is BJJ sucks as a sport and as a martial art. size and strength do matter. the skill a 150 dork needs to overcome a 225 musclehead is world class. a skinny fat bluebelt will get his shit pushed in.
>t. wasted 3 years and way too much money on this pussy shit

>post-grad, get a job, want to stay in shape playing a sport
>everyone was obsessed with fighting, obsessed with “checking your ego”, constantly compared themselves to fighting bigger people
BJJ is technically a sport but culturally almost every single person involved in it considers it to be real training for actual combat. It's really not difficult to figure this one out.
>on some 10th planet flat earth shit
All combat arts attract those sorts of people. If you think BJJ is full of crazies try joining five animal kung fu or something and you'll see real crazy.
>my style can beat up your style
just train at an actual mma gym that teaches you a compehensive system
you can go learn judo or bjj later to round out your training
>Thread filled with people who don't actually train
Not surprised.
>train at gym that has muay thai and bjj classes
>sometimes the area is shared
>muay thai guys are all bros
>most of the bjj guys seem like bros, yet there's still a large amount of people with superior complex, especially the trainers
>if come in early for muay thai while bjj guys are rolling and you don't ask to enter they'll get all pissy
>if you start hitting bags while they are rolling they'll get even more pissy
BJJ is a sport for incels.
Based bjj but wrestling still king
This are both true
Because being a good pure striker opens you open to kicks and grappling so they change
Tell us you're a moronic vaxxgay leftist c**t without telling, OP.
have a nice day now, pls.
you sound like such a pussy ass b***h DAMN
I’m thinking that after law school I’ll do rec league if possible but I’ve been incredibly fortunate to not have any concussions in college rugby so I don’t know if I want to keep testing my luck when I’m 30. But I never feel more alive than doing something like that.
Anons ITT don't get it
Jiu Jitsu is good because it's a very fun sport, who cares about real life fighting
As if you guys all train MMA or actually need any kind of real fighting skill
Throwing people is way more fun than rolling with people
But it requires a little bit of conditioning, which BJJ gays don't have
throwing people is based too, and so are boxing, tennis and soccer
Why does the pic say "blast cum" in the background lol?
What's even the point of building muscle mass if you don't know how to fight?
To "look good"?
That's a b***h mentality.
I've been doing BJJ for about 2ish years now and have trained at 5 or 6 different gyms across the country and here's a few observations I've made.
>muh it works for smaller people against bigger people.> This is largely bullshit minus a few special cases. Weight classes exist for a reason and weight/strength is more important in grappling than striking and anything else is just cope. The amount of nu-male's in bjj that weight like 150lbs that get all tender when you use any level of strength is laughable - strength is treated like some bad thing when NO OTHER combat sport thinks this.
>Opinions of strength and conditioning>Between the "just roll more bro", guys completely against strength training and then the types who will zercher box squat 95lbs and it's pure comedy. Also, the bjj community on average seems like 20 years behind every other sport - it's like they only have access to broscience from the 80s and 90s or something.
>Its easier to learn anti-bjj than actual bjj> If you want to grapple, learn wrestling and/or judo. Not only will it be cheaper, but both are far better - especially wrestling. Throw in like 2 or 3 submissions from the main positions, and learn a couple of escapes and that;s all you need from bjj. Wrestlers like Bo Nikal have killed bjj guys with ZERO days of bjj. Bo said he knew guilltones and rear naked chokes and killed everybody up to brown belt at a bjj gym. It's not until they start applying all the new age sport based stuff that it can get confusing - this shit is useless in self defense or mma as it's quickly negated by any striking (all the fancy guards, berimbolo, etc).
The ufc rule set(any mma) is extremely biased in favor of wrestlers and grapplers. In real life all grappling and wrestling is less effective. It gives people the wrong idea. Wrestling works great when everyone pretends that you’re not allowed to hit each other on the head when you’re on the ground.
You can also argue it's biased for strikers. If you stall on the ground for any time, you're penalized and get stood up. Both wrestling and Judo can be won by pinning - mma doesn't allow this. Whereas, I'd argue in a self defence situation, pinning is actually useful as you can just hold the guy there until help and/or cops show up.
I think even if you allowed strikes to the head, wrestlers would still do better than BJJ gays. Just look back to Pride days. At least wrestlers can use their skills to keep it standing to bang or bring it down to the ground or go to the cage. That's why wrestling is the best base for mma. With BJJ you NEED to bring it down; without wrestling or judo, bjj gets fricked. Wrestling + boxing was literally the goat combo in mma for years.
Also, the strategy for high level wrestlers for a long as time was to give them serviceable enough striking, get the takedown (which a high level wrestler WILL do at some point), get on top, ground and pound.
To think wrestling is less effective with strikes is dumb. Okay lets strike...everything allowed. What happens when we're in clinch range and I lock up with you and I know wrestling and you don't. I use a greco suplex on you and now you're down. I can choose to kick you in the head (as per your rules) or go down and wrestle further to get in ground and pound.
Id argue grappling (particularly standup like sambo, judo,wrestling) would be even more powerful if you could hit while guys were grounded. They'd be going for throws and trips and going for soccer kicks (like Pride).
Bo Nickal is one of the best wrestlers in the world. Most guys at BJJ gyms are hobbyists up to brown belts. It would make sense he’s able to go into a BJJ gym and wreck people
Bo Nikal is just one example. There's plenty mediocre college wrestlers that would murder half of any of BJJ gyms. Hurrrr duuurrr wrestlers are athletes and BJJers are hobbyists. Even hobby wrestlers and judoka learn speed and agression and know the importance of strength and are encouraged to use it. BJJ, it's totally frowned upon.
I've landed an uchi-mata from the georgian grip on a bjj gay and the rest of my rolling partners will then refuse to stand with me. I've seen wrestlers come in who literally just wrestled in high school and they go at bjj guys with the same intensity as they wrestled 10 years before and then all the b***hing and crying starts "he's too spazzy, he uses to much strength". No, you just don't like, that you as a blue/purple got fricking manhandled by some dude who wrestled in high school.
Out of the 5 or 6 bjj schools Ive been to, all of the guys who can wrestle or do judo have the least amount of people wanting to actually roll with them.
A good friend of mine wrestled all high school and started bjj 5 years later. He got a purple belt in half the time most get theirs. He was killing blue belts as a white belt with almost purely wrestling.
Look at mma and the amount of black belts that get beat by wrestlers with an insignificant amount of bjj.
damn thats crazy people with a decade plus of grappling experience are beating people with like 1-3 years of experience.
Even if you took a guy who wrestled for 3 years versus a guy who did bjj for 3 years, my money is still on the wrestler. It's far easier and quicker to learn how to nullify bjj than actually use it. And you still need to get someone down to use your homosexual bjj which means you need wrestling or judo.
If you have the ability, train wrestling - that's all my saying. If wrestling isn't available, then Im sure bjj is which is better than nothing.
any half decent blue belt can choke a wrestler out once it hits the ground. wrestlers don't have to worry about guillotine or rnc in their sport so they expose their neck like it's their job.
Learning how to to nullify BJJ is BJJ lmao escapes and submission defense is literally like day 1.
I train with a ton of wrestlers at my gym nothing but respect for the sport but I love the double standard you rag on BJJ guys for takedowns but as soon as you get any form of kimura/keylock in a wrestling match you would immediately be DQ'd. The exact situation you describe is literally what I go through on a weekly basis 4-6 days a week I roll with guys who since wrestled since elementary school I have been training BJJ for about 3 years what happens? they take me down and I just triangle choke them or sweep and submit them so I am gonna take the BJJ guy.
Ill also add aversion to physicality/takedowns. Sure, there are exceptions - some guys are former wrestlers/judoka and are absolute killers on the feet but for the most part, nobody knows any stand-up besides homosexual guard pulling and are weak as frick and HATE it when you use any level of strength.
The main reason most gyms avoid takedowns is because that's where most injuries take place and the large majority of people at bjj are late to mid 30's unathletic office types - they avoid it to keep making money and that's plain and simple.
If I were to take the first 100 classes I had in bjj, we MAYBE did takedowns 4-5 times. When we did positional sparring after drilling (only standup rounds), I'd say a quarter of the class went to the other end of the gym to drill what they wanted on the ground. This doesn't happen if we drill any other techniques. BJJ gays are mostly terrified of standup or straight up incompetent.
If you do BJJ, spent a weekend watching judo gripping video - just gi grips can nullify a bjj gay from getting you to the ground. For BJJ to "work" they need to get you down. If you're better at standup, they will pull guard on you. Just stay standing and don't engage.
what does "pull guard" mean?
sitting to a guard to usually work sweeps or submissions from a bottom position people get really worked up about it but most people train BJJ for fun.
I’m a former d1 college wrestler, black belt in judo, and purple belt in BJJ.
If you train at a good BJJ gym it is the superior of the 3 grappling arts. Just make sure to work your takedowns every time you train and always start standing.
Glad I could help.
>If you train at a good BJJ gym
How do you tell if it is a good one though?
BJJ is for betas who didn't play real sports growing up and try to overcompensate now for their lack of manliness.
Yeah this.
Bjj is the weak man cope, it brainwashes people into thinking they don't need any strength and that technique will overcome all but when they go against a wrestler or a judoka who actually use strength and technique effectively they are helpless.
>when BJJ white belts go against accomplished wrestlers, they lose
any other genius insights you got for us?
>Implying
Even at the highest level bjjgays lose most of the time even in ufc, but sure make up your assumptions, that will make you feel better about wasting your time training a useless style.
Everyone in UFC knows BJJ.
Mma grappling is hardly bjj and yet world class bjj champions get btfo left and right by people that aren't bjj specialist.
I'm sorry some BJJ white belt submission grappled you and forced his nutsack on your forehead back in high school, but you really gotta get over it.
Ah yes projection, the classic bjjgay cope.
So, IST?
What's wrong with checking your ego? That's one of the philosophies I love about bjj. You are going to get tapped. No matter how good you are or how strong you are. Sometimes you need to try new shit that you're not used to, and you'll get tapped by people "worse than you" in order to learn and get better. People that make it to black belt, or hell even purple, know how to leave their ego behind while training. At least its far less common for people with ego to make it far (though I'm sure it happens). Also, no good bjj guy says you don't need muscles or conditioning. They DO say that you don't need it to train and get better. If you're muscling in training, you're relying on bad technique and not helping yourself or your partner. But obviously in competition, muscles and conditioning is the difference between winning and losing. Also, you get hella conditioning in practice.
As for drug dealers and vaxx conspiracies... ya you got that right. Lots of joe rogan stans. But most are good people, regardless of being a little dented in the skull.
