WHEN Eddie wins Metamoris

I say all of us change our location/academy to "Royler Gracie BJJ" just for laughs.

I know you're just kidding around but I think everyone here has mad respect for Royler and even when he loses, we will still respect him and his family and their BJJ legacy. They are legends.
(So is Eddie)

Oh, alright, cool.:cool:

I don't get the joke. Respect your heritage, son!

LOL that would've been funny during "war" time when everyone hated and had no respect for 10th. While that's the case for some people, the 10th planet army has tapped enough people around the world that people can't deny it. So it's like we're in "peace" times. Win lose or draw, I'm sure there's still plenty of respect on both ends.

But I could imagine a lot more people will be flooding this forum after Eddie wins though. It's selfish of me, but I wouldn't mind if people stayed ignorant to 10th. Their ignorance gives me a huge advantage. Hard to defend what you don't know (or don't believe works).

Royler/Eddie have both done a lot for the sport that we love... I know you were kidding, but show some respect.

Royler/Eddie both deserve equal respect Win/Lose.

That's the wrong attitude. Catching someone off guard proves nothing. Submitting someone who knows what's coming makes a statement.

I say regardless of the outcome, the entire 10th Planet Army rises to their feet and bows, then forms a line to shake hands with Royler and his family. I say we behave like martial artists, on and off the mats. That'd be a much bigger win and statement.

I know you're just trying to get a laugh. But this is the internet, son. Folks get fired up. All you're doing by writing something like that is encouraging the toxicity you find in all the other BJJ forums.

If we believe we have something special in our hands, we should hold ourselves to a higher standard of behavior and respect. Even on the intrawebz.

Now, that's my opinion. And you know what they say about opinions...

Black belts totally have the wrong attitude then. LOL. Cmon dude. You're making a big assumption. It's not like that ALL I do. But higher belts tap lower belts with stuff they don't know all the time. I tap higher belts with stuff they don't know. Seems fair to me. I don't see what's wrong with that. :)

Because you will inevitably run out of parlour tricks.

I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle, I like to have some tricks up my sleeve (truck, lockdown sweeps) and work on basics and traditional moves in parallel (hip bump sweep, leg triangles, etc).

But mad props to both, and win or lose I think everyone wins...

Is that why there is no innovation in BJJ..........................? Wait, no, I don't think that's right. :)

Here I thought you guys had nothing to worry about. Let me go ahead and retract my statements.

Parlour tricks built on basic principles. That's my favorite stuff.

what makes a particular move a parlor trick? is a gogo a parlor trick? what if i said an arm bar is a parlor trick?

Brandon spits hot fire. Truth.
