Let’s do a follow-up with Sensei Cohen. We are about to enter the quad for LA2028.

Hi 👋 gentlemen So many valid opinions on both your parts, about where is JJ heading in the future. IMP JJ is like every other contact MA, at no time will the professional out way the average Joe. What I mean is there will be 10% semi/pro level athletes, and 90% guys like me, so it will be practically impossible for it to disappear, and that is in everything: boxing, MA, MMA, Olympians, and every other sport. Here is food for thought Professors: if we really want to gage or start getting a better understanding of the road JJ is going also interview the average school, instead of the high profile instructor. The little guy is the root of JJ for the 90% that will never go pro or even do more than a few tournaments, and the only reason that happens is so they can have something to talk about. Thank you 🙏 OSS

Hello gentlemen and thank you for having such a great guess. There is so much to talk about with this follow up , but I’ll keep it short. Bio: I have 34 years experience in MA’s and have had 4 schools. Started JJ at 52 and still training, 58 now. My current school is in Tampa , Florida area. What I have experienced and watch podcast like yours, too help educate me more, or at least to here other opinions/experience. We are the cause of all topics you touched on. Prof. Eric just didn’t forget his roots. And that is the narrative in our JJ society. Ex: Forget your roots, who are they kind of mentally. I don’t like wearing pajamas (Gi), why should I bow to this person, No Gi is the new Kimono, I saw this on KZbin, I want to work on this not what your teaching, omg 😱, I could go on forever. JJ is such a beautiful art and we are almost destroying it. OSS 🙏

Thank you so much gentlemen 👏👏. Prof. Eric is amazing. And he is a true ambassador to JJ and the MA way. OSS

Omg 😱 What an example with the alphabet and the seasoning, it is so profound.

Wow!!! This professor is so awesome. PROTECTING THE COMMUNITY. Something that you always hear, BUT do they mean it, well this gentleman does. RESPECT 🙏🙏

Great to hear, I’m not the only one that has no contracts. I feel just like he does, it keeps me on my toes, and if you don’t want to be at my school just leave, I don’t want your money of your not happy. Will be commenting as I watch the whole show. OSS

Gary you left us hanging.🙂 What was the advice you received?

After I get back from Cali, I'm going back to jiujitsu. I miss learning all the cool moves

Great job 👏🏻 she is a true warrior 💪🏻🔥

I love this conversation

BRAVO, so Clear

The best interview for you guys👏👏.

15:22 - this exact drill (being mounted, what would you do?) is now shown to every single person who gets an introduction at Gracie University, before they even join a class. Great to know the history of it.

Great job 👏🏻

thank you so much for your video 🎉

Sir thank you so much for speaking the truth, about teaching and all that goes with it, and if any one is butt hurt, it is because the truth hurts. I’m going on six years now in my JJ journey, and it’s a horror show, when anyone thinks they can teach, especially if they won a couple of medals. I truly believe that you have to start somewhere, but if the academy isn’t making an attempt in some kind way educating potential instructors, then all of these bad things are going to happen. OSS

My professor! 👊🏽

Students know that consistency and hard work over a long time = progress but they are lazy and impatient. It’s not that they don’t know the formula but they are just weak minded and lazy ‼️

I wanted to hear what he was going to say about the evolution of the sport

Thank you so much , I finally meet someone like me in the JJ world in my area. I can give my opinion on how I feel, but why? He pretty much said it. I have a school for 2 years, I have 2 full blown martial arts, the original style of TKD, and BJJ. Kids/teen for both arts excellent memberships and retention. NOW!! Adult BJJ only 9-12students in those two years, and guess what who cares, no major injuries like he described. Youngest student 19 oldest 53, and they always roll and take care of each, and enjoy JJ. Excellent real person thank you for having him on.

先生素晴らしい動画ありがとうございます！！

This was a great podcast, you guys deserve more love i hope you grow into an awesome channel

Fabio and Mauricio speak better english than Roger. Lex Fridman speaks better English than I do and he was born in the Soviet Union...either Soviets are smart or im just slow 🤷‍♂️

Great guest guys…good humor and a reality trainer to those that do Jitz as a recreation, fitness, and take some tools to the street because of my job.

Sean's the best. Found your podcast following Sean. New sub.

Amazing perspective. This can be applied to many pursuits in life.

I’ll just gave u your 2nd 👍😁😉😉

What Paul is saying bout the old school training.. he ain’t kidding!

Very good tips 👍stay consistent focus on improving yourself not the belt ☝️

One of your best guests…honest, funny and real. Truly enjoyed and thank you for providing the content.

Like holy fuck do u EVER GET TO TO IT????

Amazing stories !

I agree Narcissist people are a huge problem and sometimes we have to kick them out to save the team. I’ve experienced it firsthand narcissistic people are completely delusional and never take accountability for their mistakes.

❤

Thank you!! I will have to re-watch this and incorporate them in my workouts one at a time, so I can work on these! Thank you!!

Great episode, thanks for sharing!

Cool

Omg please go over each one briefly please!

Can you briefly break each of these down?!

Great job 👏🏻

Maestro, thank you for sharing that great discipline, techniques or routine!! I know anything about Jiu Jitsu or any martial art,but I admire and respect a person that does it.I'll try for sure to do some of those exercises soon, slow and carefully. Greetings and be safe. 🙋🏾‍♂️
