He was respectful with his responses. That was surprising. Little by little, step by step ;)
I have heard this exact response at least a dozen times from different bb's.
His demo at the end looked kinda loose at the end without the gi.
I know he could stomp me with or without it.
just don't understand why people say Eddie does not give credit where credit is due? If you don't know for sure you should not say things like that.
Popovitch think's different than Comprido about technique's gi and nogi!

You can't mess with my Hubberband Gward.

Cool video. Nothing like discrediting somebody in a nice way. Those guys are only a half hour from me. Maybe I'm jaded from all the bad experiences at comp with those guys. Not Comprido though. But the Chicago scene everyone hates everyone. Its a shame.
?! That sucks. The JJ community is so small as a whole already. Can't we all just get along?Quote:

Comprido is legit. He's a insane Gi guy but I have never seen any of his nogi but I would assume it's on point being a 7 time world champ.
Have you heard of that Kiko guy who is training hard to take home a medal for August 20th's GQ Executive 159lb division novice for himself and the 10P Family? =DQuote:

Agree Nelson. Plus I love how he pokes fun at the system using the term Hubberband Gward. Or was that just his normal way of talking? Either way, entertaining =D.Quote:

Odd how people say Eddie acts like he invented moves. Comprido says the Twister is an old wrestling move. Eddie made that clear in his book and DVD. He didn't take credit for inventing it. Many of the moves in his books are named after the people who invented them and others are attributed to their creators in the text accompanying the moves. I really don't know how Eddie got tagged with this "taking credit for moves" thing... Eddie even credits little things like the "Marcelo stance".
The core problem I think would be ego. It's hard for some to accept that maybe, just maybe, a small, Mexi-American stoner might have the one of the keys to expanding and evolving jiu jitsu. I don't think this would at all ever have been a controversy if Eddie was born Eddie Gracie, or even Eddie Machado. And don't get me wrong, respect the Gracies greatly. Very few families can say they've contributed so much to the martial arts the way the Gracies have.Quote:
