Awsome interview, TXXX!

[@evogjj]

You guys should look into having Allen Hopkins and Dave Camarillo on your show.

Just an FYI, the link to Keith's school is missing the "b". Thanks for the great interview.

Is it bad to hold off on a tap just to see what it feels like when a submission is tight? Not talking about spazzing out of a submission.

[@sjeffiesjeff]

MrSavvy425 On chokes? No. On jointlocks? Yes.

[@BudoJake]

MrSavvy425 If you get in the habit to waiting until the very last moment to tap you are risking injury. What if your training partner doesn't let go the moment you tap? Tap early and stay healthy.

Keith Owen Dear Keith. I disagree with you on a few issues: 1. It's way way harder for a small guy to do JuJutsu than a big guy. Big guys get by the first few years as you did by doing gorilla crap while small guys like me have to adjust to the big idiots who are looking for easy targets. Then guys like me get injured while bigger guys like you continue. Secondly. The spacing issue isn't an issue. The big guy has much more options than the small guys. For example, I wouldn't be able to triangle a heavyweight, but I can't triangle the crap out the ten year old. Spacing is a last resort because we have no other options. But even then, I could still entangle the juniors because of my technique. Thirdly. When I roll with kids, I learn perfect defensive technique. If a kid could pass my guard to get me in an armbar, it means I did something wrong. And besides, I don't have to worry about getting hurt. And finally, big guys don't get their egos hurt that much. Most big guys don't get smashed that often, and thus, never really have a big incentive to learn or be modest. The core of Martial Arts. Few are like Buchecha or Roger Gracie. So the whole "JuJutsu is harder for the big guy" is preposterous.

Keith Owen 2. On the topic of self defense. I blasted the bubble world techniques that the Mendes bros used on that video, because all Budo (Martial Way) must be inherently realistic in combat. I don't like blatantly uncombative moves that wouldn't work in MMA for example. They are bad asses, but not everything they do is real. However, I trained at a Gracie Barra. The self defense stuff is crap, and I had seen the whole curriculum. It's better than nothing but not anything I would really be proud of. For example they teach something like this: if someone throws a punch this way, I duck this way, then bear hug him, then I get a takedown. Awful. Martial Arts are alive. It isn't a dead thing to be passed down from one generation to the next as is. I enjoy the philosophy of Renzo and his student, Firas Zahabi (Tristar Gym) which Firas calls "Universal JuJutsu". In other words, emphasis on the stuff that works everywhere, but mainly and it's combat oriented. If you want to learn how to so JuJutsu for hand to hand combat, a guy like Fabricio Werdum is the best to learn from because he does all the other aspects of hand to hand combat. If you say you do Knife work, then you must also have a strong connection with the knife experts, like the Filipino knife arts. Aikido would not work without it's connections with the Kendo/Kenjutsu schools. It'd be a McDojo. My point is this. Real self defense is better learned at an MMA school like Firas's TriStar gym than at a some self proclaimed "traditional" BJJ school. I would much rather learn knife fighting from knife fighters. The whole self defense in BJJ is usually garbage. Memorized content from an old age. Unless things are alive, that is the moves are tested and re-evaluated constantly, it becomes old and rots. That's the scientific method. Constant testing, evaluations, and retesting. So BJJ "Self Defense" is better than nothing, but in modern terms garbage. I don't know what you do Keith, so this isn't a personal attack, but you said Gracie Barra's self defense is good, while I view it as mostly nonsense.
