Who cares....
This is just silly. When I was a white belt, I caught a brown in a triangle. I didn't think I was the second coming of Renato Laranja for it. I just figured I did the right thing when he was messing around. Everyone gets tapped, sometimes you don't defend something 100% because you get caught not respecting a choke etc.
I don't sweat taps. I figure there's a certain amount of times I'm going to get tapped on the road to that Black Belt. So, every time I get tapped I think I learned something and I'm one step closer. I like Eddie because he's always on a road to somewhere, always evolving, tapping is just one of those steps on the journey.
Eddie's system works, everyone knows that here.
EVERYONE GETS CAUGHT!
I've caught a few Black Belts... it wasn't because I'm an AWESOME Jiu-Jitsu guy, it was because they are human, and sometimes they make human errors.
This "Blue Belt" is probably a sandbagger that caught Eddie on an off day. I've rolled with Eddie on 2-3 occasions and NEVER CAME CLOSE to catching him.
Why are all these threads coming back from two years ago...
Ha old or not kinda sweet eddie called it for sure on this oneQuote:

Everyone gets caught. If you catch a higher belt once it's not that big of a deal. Was the higher belt working on something? Was he injured? Was he much smaller or out of shape? There are way too many variables for getting a tap on a higher belt once to really matter. Now if you are tapping your legit black belt instructor going full speed 8/10 times then maybe that is saying something.
That's what I was wondering.Quote:
