The coast is really beautiful. Everyone should go to the Garage and hit up the beach/jetty while down there.

These are the questions that keep me up at night

Prior to Kano there was the Menkyo (license) system

so basically you take ju jitsu for your own ego

IMO YT needs to expand shorts to at least 3 mins on the maximum, otherwise we get videos like this that pretty much goes nowhere at all. I say about 20% of shorts mean nothing because they are too short to get to the point. and probably 40% are made by AI (but that is a whole nother problem)

Awesome podcast! Thank you so much.

10:24 to an extent, wouldn’t whatever you are left with after removing the athletics and attributes, still somewhat depend on a certain level of athleticism to be considered potent as an art?

Great conversation

I haven’t competed since perhaps when I just got my blue belt. But now as a purple belt whenever I travel for work I stop in other gyms to train and rolling with different unknown people are a gage how I’m doing.

What was your guys favorite belt? I’m a brown belt and I almost wish I could stay a purple belt and just cruise for ever

This is a sweet podcast. Feel like Hauter is a great historian and practitioner of the art. Could listen to him all day. His wife too.

I work in the equestrian world and its completely unregulated like martial arts. Anyone can hang a shingle out and say they teach horseback riding. Its very similar to BJJ in that you need certain memberships and abide by agreed upon rules to compete, but absolutely anyone can open a school and teach.

These are great! I definitely want to hear more about your requirements for each belt. Also, when should professor stripes be awarded?

The best overall bjj "system" I've seen was the Pedro sauer association. Minimum time per belt required as well as demonstrated knowledge of movements , self-defense curriculum, and a good amount of reliance on senior black belts in keeping the art solid/tested on the mats. It wasn't perfect, but at least you knew what a "minimum requirement" was. The art had been defined in general terms, and that allows practitioners to know what needs to be worked on at each level. That never meant you couldn't go above and beyond standard curriculum using new styles/techniques, but there was a standard. Every school had its own flavor/style, but every school upheld the minimum defined standard. The problem with BJJ is that many people can't even define it in general terms anymore.

Yeah… everyone knows pinching is part of fighting…

Black belts can eat an acai bowl just by looking at it. In all seriousness, what if there was a competition promotion? You can move up by getting top 3 in your age, weight, class, etc. You can always get promoted by non-competition promotions but a competition promotion could be a cool thing.

I was thinking to myself if this was before the cauliflower ear or after. Never pick a fight with someone who has cauliflower ear.

Skrewdriver, the clash, the business.

The bible says there is nothing new under the sun

What happened after that? My wife left me that's what happened, and you already fucking know that

Separate categories for UK and US punk would be fun too. Hell, you could probably even break it down by city in the US as the different cities had sound to their music and scenes.

No straight edge means you don't do drugs hardcore means you do something else.📡🇺🇸👽 Clarification is needed.

Tell gracie jujitsu can beat a glock it aint shit

Sit up bro when ur talking

Greasey 😂

Now I understand Tai Chi and Jui Jitsu are completely different styles. If I am correct what they share in common is using one's opponent's momentum against themselves.

you have no idea what you are talking about

Ya!❤

Streets of Rio

I remember doing 5 on 5, shirts and skins. th good ol days

We still do that at our gym.

look... china is a communist state, so nobody is allow to think by his own.... no spiritual bolony....they are acostumed to rob your ideas as many people continue doing in the western world, unless you set it in a paper as your own.

We can see your gum.

Is TikTok sharing its algorithm freely like it doesn’t own it? Is byd just sharing its ev tech with everyone ? Let not put any culture on a pedestal. Humans everywhere are remarkably more similar than different.

I have never understand why The US and China can't be a balanced dichotomy, collaborating like yin and yang, rather than just living in fear of each other.

In some ways .... Chinese mindset makes sense

I couldn't agree more!😂😂😂❤❤

Torah, Torah, Torah! Remember “Krugan’s Kimonos”? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Sport JJ is to kick-flippy skating as Gracie JJ is to pool/downhill/street-transport skating.

Murdered? I think the government would refer to that more as made not alive!! For some including the government the truth is a very very painful thing

Been listening to all of these on Spotify so far, very cool to find out you have these with video on youtube. But please keep them on Spotify as well for when we're on the go :) for me personally, it's jiu jitsu that took me out of my depression and anxiety 5 years ago. I was literally on the edge of stepping out of this life but had to just give it a shot. Cycling back home from that first class, I had the biggest smile on my face ever. Since then, I have spoken to more and more people in the BJJ world that walked similar paths. Thank you for sharing your path with us. <3

Yes they will, and I see them in the mirror every now and then 😂

The meth addict will also try to convince you he’s or she’s been followed by someone without any evidence but try to convince you that someone has tracked him or her down. This is the most common way a meth offender will get always be able to control you! Never believe someone who thinks that they are being pursued by fictitious agents! Always ask them for evidence!

This dudes family is fucked

100% true

The war on drugs was a war on poverty and we still lost, shows how much effort we put into helping those most in need.
