lol, this thread is not passing the Gracie filter.

Very interesting

That thread has become SUPER interesting at this point, with the posts by a user named "MarcoRugeAss".
The guy is a self-proclaimed MMA historian and is schooling these Sherdoggers hard.

That's a whole lot to read. Mind pointing out some of the things that come up as cool facts or something?

Actually, I just skpped to the last page. Very interesting stuff.

I have the book Choque and his other book Jiu Jitsu in the Hot Zone. I have just started Choque, but JJ in the HZ was a pretty good read. It's about his 11 yr journey to bjj black belt while living in Brazil. Deals a lot with all of the drama between different camps.

These videos are cool David. http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f12...9/index25.html

Ponder how well the front kick and round kick defence would work. I would suggest maybe there were freakishly good strikers with take down defence alive in the world long before Sakuraba came along.
