Do I really need to explain that?
Pretty clearly humor to me.
No, man, but I do not see how wearing pajamas really helps on the battlefield with jets, tanks, and really serious stuff.Quote:

Yep, the famous shove-it-up-the-ass-in-the-mens-loo-and-walk-away style. DaveTV is rolling like George Michael.Quote:

I'm sure others would assert that BJJ focuses on and further develops parts of Judo, while neglecting others. Not that the distinction matters except to people who want to assert that their style is "better."Quote:

Just about a month earlier, Gracie had defeated one of the best judo fighters in the world, Yukio Kato, by choke. Hence, there was a lot of pressure on Kimura, who had a 40- to 50-pound weight advantage on his smaller adversary.
Kimura was widely considered to be the greatest judo fighter in the world, so the Japanese people were counting on him. Coming into the match, Kimura indicated that he would knock his opponent out with a throw and that if Gracie were to last more than three minutes, he'd consider himself the winner.
Kimura dominated the match from a throwing perspective, continually slamming Gracie into what was apparently a somewhat soft mat. Since these moves did not stop Gracie as he thought they might, Kimura then began looking for submissions. After roughly 12 minutes, Gracie had been rendered unconscious by a choke but somehow persevered.
Kimura sunk in a reverse ude-garami (shoulderlock), but Gracie was so tough that he refused to submit, having his arm broken instead. Eventually, his corner threw in the towel, and Kimura was rightfully given the win.
Judo won out here. But in the process, Gracie and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu certainly gained some respect."
Wish there was video of that one.
USA's greatest judo competitor, Jimmy Pedro, wrestled at Brown University, qualifying for the NCAA tournament twice. He won one match in those two tournaments.

Any bjj gym that ignores the stand up is not where you should train.
The lapel grip is what keeps the hips tight to the shoulder. Not bad watching a video and almost succeeding in execution. I think you re probably better than most blue belts.Quote:

Isbd....the conversation you are trying to engage in was settled at UFC 1. Bjj wins.
^^^ That Gracie vs. Savate guy with the broken hand final was brutal.
Anyone know Pol? An Irishman currently living in Japan. Apparently a world champion BJJ?
WTF do I know?
When the Gracie's came to the states they would take out ads in the local paper openly accepting all challengers. You can watch endless grainy old footage of them taking on wrestlers, strikers, ect. It show pretty clearly the dominance of the art.
Here is the Kato fight from 1950. https://youtu.be/n62fFwA0X7I
I had a friend like you. Always trying to get me to go so he could "choke me out" One day I finally went to a no gee class and whooped his ass. Id fuck you up quick, your a pussy
Maybe. Maybe not. If you ever come east look me up. I m not afraid to take a beating.
Sergio Leone just called - he wants his script back.
A year of Judo under his yellow belt helped my kid some when he went out for his middle school wrestling team. He finished third in the district for his weight class at the end of 8th grade.
Still, I'll take South Beach Bernice with the wrench as my backup..

It’s impressive if you think he wrestled at Brown as an after-thought. He won an EIWA title in the midst of competing at the world championships and the Olympics in judo at the same time. If Pedro had focused on wrestling and been in a very competive Big 10 wrestling room, I believe he would’ve been an All-American multiple times.Quote:

Folkstyle wrestling would grow exponentially if the kids were able to suit up like that.Quote:

Ghost in the machine. And it’s mutating!
Pedro's son in now wrestling at Brown. One of the kids in the Norwich University BJJ club that I am an advise trains with him. The Gi is a great training tool. The timing of throwing with no Gi is infinitely more difficult. Coming from a heavy grecco back round, when I started BJJ I felt like I was cheating to be able to hold the uniform.
