John Carmack on Training Judo and BJJ

Taken from Joe Rogan Experience #1342 w/John Carmack: • Video

[@al-bot1094]

That's funny: people surprised and disappointed that the guy who made Doom and Wolfenstein likes violence.

[@vegeta8169]

Haha

[@MrMochi-nl1zb]

*controlled (to an extent) violence But yes it’s hilarious

[@michaelgorion8959]

I trained with John Carmack at Burt Becerras. He is legitimately a good dude on and off the mat. He can definitely handle himself . I was a novice in judo and a blue belt in BJJ, at the time, John could give me and several guys in the club run for our money . He's legit.

[@lamesurfer1015]

I'm genuinely curious. What was his style? Was he an Uchi-mata / Ko Uchi / O-Uchi guy? O-soto / Harai Goshi guy? What was his ground game like. I'm trying to envision him doing Judo.

[@dpruntytv]

I’ve fought plenty of becerras students when I was young .. a Sensei Burt is the best ..

[@espada9]

As a 55 year old BJJ brown belt who works as an engineer in the biotech industry I can tell you there are plenty of educated professionals who train, a friend (chemical engineer) who is working on a major project with me right now is also a training partner and one of our clients in Germany who is here vising this week is going to do some Muay Thai with us tomorrow. Lots of people train some form of martial art in 2019.

[@JJDvorshak]

@@chicomalo991 I've once heard that BJJ is the best MA to train at any age. So, I say go for it. I'd do it myself 2 weeks ago, but we're stuck in limbo.

[@Rawdiswar]

What age did you start BJJ?

[@jumbuxter9555]

Make this guy a regular. You guys hit it off

[@fred.flintstone4099]

Growing up this guy was an idol for me, he made Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Quake. Always he was the mastermind behind the id Tech game engines used in those games, and whenever his company id Software released a new game, it was mindblowing because it presented you with something you never seen before, he was pushing the technology forward to new heights. He is a wizard coder, and wrote amazing game engines and renderers. Then later he gave back to the community of fans by releasing the source code to the game as open source.

[@FusionC6]

It was his decision to allow modding in ID engine games. Everyone else on the team was opposed, but later on said it was one of the best things he could have did.

[@JJDvorshak]

So goes the tale... of John "The Valliant" Carmack.

[@JamesMMcCann]

'Never drive your Ferrari to Judo practice.' A problem I think we can all relate to.....

This guy doesn't breathe when he talks. So impressive, it's like a really long run-on sentence with no punctuation.

[@keithprice7119]

Just shows how dumb we are as kids. In school people like him get bullied while everyone thinks the jocks are cool. Once we grow up we clearly see that the jocks are mostly total dummies and guys like John achieve great things and are far more interesting people.

[@DeuPKay]

This shit has been studied in great detail and, sorry to break it to you, but there is a high correlation between people who are popular in high school and those that become successful later on. Your whole comment just sounds like the fantastical brooding of someone who hasn't gotten over high school bullying or something.

[@HM-hd7up]

@@DeuPKay i hate to break it to you but youve misinterpreted everything. Bullying does not equate to being popular.

[@cbrath01]

@@DeuPKay false...trust me, I was and still a nerd, surprisingly never got picked on. But, I know for a fact. Most of the popular kids arent doing anything. I make more money than them. Socially, I guess they are still popular but live paycheck to paycheck. I had to remove myself from them because I was dumbing myself down around them. And I have done martial arts for over 12 years and still look good at 32. Popular people...fat, bald and miserable.

[@crazy8sdrums]

John Carmack is an interesting cat. I've known about him for a long time but didn't know what his personality was. He is like the uber-nerd that conquered his social inhibitions and forced himself into scenarios that were more difficult, to learn and become more well-rounded.

[@dadthelad]

Yeah don't know about how you've stereotyped him. His dad was a TV presenter, and he was sentenced to juvi for a year as a teenager for breaking and entering (by creating an explosive) and stealing some Apple computers. So I don't know about the social inhibitions and so on that you're imagining, presumably because he's a computer programmer.

[@FusionC6]

@@dadthelad People think of someone who enjoying computers as a hobby as someone with no life. Which is ironic, because 95% of you fuckers can't stay off your phone or computer. Playing computer games is 'ghey' but staring at your phone/TV for 6 hours is cool.

[@deifor]

Cuba produces lots of judokas, wrestlers and boxers. The reason is that is free and every other kid wants to learn how to defend themselves. Bullying wasn't as big an issue as in other places because fighting at school wasn't really punished. Our parents knew of our fights becasue we told them, not because the teachers told them. One day a kid who was like 5 years older than me was "bullying" me, which for us was really more like "asserting dominance" and my ant wouldn't let me in the house until I beat the guy (who is like a brother to me) with a pipe. Well I din't beat him but made him run a little. He was laughing all the way but understood that I was scared enough of him to beat him with a stick or pipe. I wish here in Canada kids learned more martial arts.

[@mikeguapo1999]

I just started judo a week ago and wrestled for 6 years and yesterday did randori with a Cuban national champion. He destroyed me but gave me respect since I tried my best and was being aggressive with him.

Why? He isn't that small. Not sure why people think you have to be 200lbs 7'9, lookin like the Hulk just to accomplish anything physical.

[@electriceyeslide5959]

FusionC6 He’s pretty small. I used to do some boxing and I have seen little guys beat the shit out of big guys. It comes down to heart. There are little guys who punch hard and big guys who don’t. You can be big enough to where a shrimp like Carmac can punch you until he’s blue in the face and it won’t phase you, so don’t sound ridiculous with “size don’t matter” stuff because at a certain point it does.

[@FusionC6]

​@@electriceyeslide5959 Fair enough. But why is he not a man? But a 'shrimp?'

[@electriceyeslide5959]

FusionC6 I never said he wasn’t a man. I was using “Shrimp” to illustrate a point. Of course he’s a man and who knows what he’s capable of. I like Carmac and have nothing against him. He might be a real bad ass. I bet he’s tougher than most people think because you can see he’s super determined and that’s heart. Not at all saying he’s not a man.
