The Impact Eddie Bravo has had On YOU
This is not some gay nutt hugging thread. Let me tell you. As a karate guy i thought my way was the way. I trained with legends. I remember Mike Stone telling me "you don't need to worry about that ground stuff, if someone trys to take me to the ground I'll bite. claw" hell fuck something like that i dont remember. Shit.
I remember throwing skip kicks and eveything against my friend who played football and only watched UFC. everytime we sparred he tapped me out.. now that i have a year and few months on him in jitzu i tap him easily and he still out weights me by 60 pounds. Hey. thats the power of jitzu. but that has nothing to do with mr bravo or does it.
the first book i picked up and studied in jitsu was mastering the rubber guard. i remember i showed it to my taekwondo teacher and he thought it was shit. cux all you had to do was "bite" and everything would be okay. i was a good point sparring guy. but now i train with proffessionals from strike force and all kinds of leagues. Team Paragon. i get crushed . MMa is the most complete way of fighting and rubber guard is the best way of breaking a man down and containing him to work a guard system.
anyhow i thought eddie was cool from the prolouge or however you spell the shit. being agnostic myself and open minded to all things not just religion is the best way to approach things. If you don't empty your cup how can you fill it with more delicious drink? Bruce lee taught that 40 years ago. anyhow Eddie Bravo is the fucking man. We all know this.
