So Awesome for him . Way 2 go Joe
Damn, thank you Slick for transcribing his awesome speech :)
Good shit joe! Congrats man I can't even imagine how much you are blazin to celebrate this huge life accomplishment!
I had to Eddie. I was listening and thought, damn there's some ish being said here, I better see it on paper.
Then I saw it on paper, and I kept reading it. It's some powerful ish... quote filled like no other. And, to be able to come off the top with those words is quite spectacular.
I probably read it like 20 or 30 times already. It's an interesting read!
Thanks as well Rick. Those words are reaching worldwide. Much love.
Powerful Joe Rogan. Congrats Joe. That speech was pretty awesome, and I loved the way eddie ran around the class with the belt. :D
Congratulations and great speech. I've convinced myself I'm a ninja so many times....and in reality I sucked.
Look at Renato trying to hide in the background :p
Does Joe ever post here? Read here?
Awesome! Congrats!
Congrats Joe Rogan!
Congratulations Joe!
Huge congratulations to Joe and to Eddie for promoting another blackbelt. I think everyone would agree that they're equally impressive acts. If anyone has contact info for Joe we would love to have him on OpenMatRadio to talk about his promotion and jiu jitsu history. Hit me up at paul@OpenMatRadio.com. I think the entire martial arts world could learn something from Joe.
Congrats Joe! That was beautiful, the speech almost brought tears to my eyes. He summed up BJJ about as perfectly and eloquently as humanly possibly. Thanks for sharing the video Eddie, awesome stuff.

Obviously, it is the journey that matters.
The fact that Eddie and Joe are such great mates, speaks volumes about their relationship where mutual respect is so obvious.
How hard it must have been for Eddie to hold back and be able to separate himself emotionally from the pressure of wanting so bad for your best mate, to be a black belt. Props to both men for displaying all that means so much to me as a martial artist.
In a world filled with so much ego related distraction. It was so great to see it clearly non existent in this video and throughout this promotion. Thank you both! It has lifted us all and I'm grateful to have seen it, and, more importantly, to be a part of it.
Joe, on behalf of all the 10th planet brothers in Australia, and all BJJ brothers and sisters downunder, a heartfelt congrats to you sir.
Damn well said Joe. Congratulations man!
Bump for the OpenMatRadio invitation.
Bump for the speech, great line about no BSing on the mat
