If you go on other bjj or mma websites you will see people bashing Eddie saying how much he sucks and isent any different from any other bjj black belt and how rolyer would submit Eddie 9 out of 10 times. So im just wondering why all the hat towards Eddie?
hate**
It's easier to hate than learning the system
i know the feeling from the training aspect alot of schools turn the system away or even get upset if u pull some rubber gaurd i really dont understand why. i love my gracie jiu jitsu but eddie did tap royler and facts are facts so that speaks enough for me . its a new flavor to taste and thats what jiu jitsu to me is it is always evolving and anybody stuck on one system is just that STUCK.
Change scares people! simple as that really.
He threw out the gi, beat Royler then retired from comp. and still makes a living teaching and he smokes weed. That's pretty much what it boils down to. Then there is the guys who do it because there instructors told them to or they bought the bull shit propaganda that he talks shit about the Gracies or he claims that he made up moves which is all bull shit he always credits people with moves he learned from them directly or indirectly.

Unexplainable hating is usually a sign of fear.
If he wasn't great at what he did, he wouldn't get all this hate. Success comes with a lot of jealousy. It's part of the game, even if Eddie does give props where props are due. Welcome to the real world, where people's egos come into play =(.

People don't hate Eddie as much as hating 10th Planet fans. Eddie Bravo is respected by Royler, Cesar, Jeff Glover, The Machado Family and a ton of other BJJ Heroes. It's 10th Planet fans talking above their knowledge that give 10th Planet that "hated" mystique. I know plenty of ATT guys and Gracie Barra guys that respect and use 10th Planet on a daily basis. Some people may not agree with Eddie's philosophy or lifestyle but there is more respect there than some of you think. To be the best jiu jitsu player you can be you need to cross train and get different looks. That's something that's understood. Gilbert Melendez trained with Denny for the Aoki fight. Denny works with Jake Sheilds... The jiu jitsu circle is relatively small and what I've learned from guys like Ari, John R. and Big Zog... be respectful, work hard, represent well and be professional.Quote:
