What Nibiru fam think about this article

Who cares? Thats their coach, those are his rules. Urijah doesn't seem to care.
I agree, who cares as long as faber is happy, but at the same time thats kind of nuts! Haha
To me jiu jitsu is jiu jitsu no matter what garment you wear. I dont see how wearing a traditional japanise garment makes it legit or not, but to each his own.
I agree with what prado says about promoting guys via the internet. Seems like marketing tactics and easy ways to promote their brand to me, but again, to each his own. :)
Score how, according to IBJJF rules? I hope that is not what he's saying, but whatever.Quote:
"Some Checkmat guys are giving belts too quickly," he said. "If you ask those guys, Cormier won’t know how to score a jiu-jitsu fight. How are you going to promote a guy this way?
But why should that matter anyway, he's not trying to be a mundials champion. If he has the technical knowledge and skills to implement it and his coach fells he's deserving or earned the grade what business is it of theirs.Quote:

Not saying Uriah doesn't know those, looks like he has trained in the Gi, but his coach feels he isn't a black belt yet in the Gi which is fine
Prado does seminars at a school near mine, that guy is a turd for sure. He is right about it getting watered down and all, but still very closed minded.

Also, I wonder why it is, that he hasn't been training in the GI since he had all those fights last year? Doesn't training GI help your jiu jitsu in mma?
