I'm not sure if you guys listen to the Inside BJJ podcast, but their latest episode brings up a pretty valid point... Is Eddie Bravo a Gracie Jiu Jitsu shill? Put in place only to try to sell more Jiu Jitsu to the American public.
The conversation starts around 14:50:

bjj as a sport/activity/workout is just so addicting and refreshing.. and bjj as a martial arts is so damn dominate it would eventually been picked up..
Different strokes for different folks.
I'm pretty sure they are clowning the guy that wrote it.. There is 1% seriousness and 0% validity. Funny stuff though. Keep an eye on that Eddie Bravo character! He's the Gracie's biggest spy! They say some other crazy shit like: "Eddie doesn't exist, he's just a hologram". Haha! Nick Fury style. Lol.
No, no, this is all true! His real name is Reddie Gracie, and 10th Planet is just a way to reveal those people who only want to train with out the gi so that all the BJJ organizations can recognize them and the refs can make sure that the matches are called against the evil, non-gi wearing heretics!:p
If that ended up being true my whole wore would melt and I would never be able to believe anything.
