I’ve known Chris since his training group in Pensacola, FL, when he was a purple belt(1992). One of the great practitioners and philosophers of the sport - a true legend and this podcast made my day.

Great interview! I love Chris and his thoughts on jiu jitsu. Really good questions as well.

I'm 18.5yrs into Jits under Carlson lineage, but learned from a black belt who was also a great college wrestler. That's to say I've seen technique that comes from deep jits as well as deep wrestling. I see the distinction between ajj and BJJ as ajj being much more wrestling no-gi heavy, whereas BJJ is much much classical gi-based jiu jitsu. I also think we can agree that in sport the difference in leglock rules has also created some real stylistic differences. AJJ generally runs much more like a wrestling or sports club, BJJ like a traditional martial art class. I don't see these as competitors, but rather as different offerings on the jiujitsu menu that cater to a wide variety of people's preferences. It's totally cool we have both, just like it's cool we have jits and wrestling, jits and judo, jits and karate, etc. Thats part of the beauty of the art.

This is great. “Boxing doesn’t love me back.” I happen to also dislike getting punched. I also love BJJ and Coach Hauter is truly a force of nature. Ossss!
