Thanks Richard Nixon....Fuck you.....this "COWARD" was ready to fight Royler. Then Royler backs out? Who is the coward....what an ass clown.
All respect due to Comprido but the guy is uneducated on the subject of marijuana. I can say that and I don't even smoke.
Damn! The irony is if anyone could use some weed it's this guy! He needs to chill.
i've seen 2 interviews with this guy and first he said the "rubber band guard" doesn't work, and now he says that weed is bad and "edgey brabo is an idjiot"...i can't handle it, my head is about to explode!!!
One thing gets proven wrong so people gotta come up with new reasons to not learn someone elses techniques, so their white and blue belts dont keep asking them questions about stuff they dont want to understand or use. Money used on 10thpjj books and dvds is money not going into their pockets.
Im pretty textbook with 10th pjj, so the longer people keep hating, the more 10th pjj stuff will be easier to pull off
10th planet Jiu Jitsu is the new leglocks
Gee........how rare!
i hope alot of people hate 10pjj and the "rubber band guard" because that just means more omaplata's for me in competition...if it worked on werdum, it'll work on some punk ass blue belts that think they're the next royler gracie, and what happened to that guy again????
Whats "Stupid" is that a "teacher" wouldn't continue to educate himself, while attempting to educate others. To be so closed minded without reasearching a topic hes speaking out against is a sign of being sheepish. Being a sheep is the true sign of being a coward, NOT when one man rises to challenge the powers at be, to push for change. Eddie Bravo is no idiot or coward!
I used to have a Zen caldender when I was in high school, there where two particular proverbs that stuck out to me. I always thought this one clever and true until I met Eddie. Eddie broke this mold like he has done with so may others.
"Ignorance is bliss, to question is to be alone"
I'm no longer alone, Thank you Maestro!
I struggle with posting this anywhere as only has 300 views, and will likely die out over time, bringing more views only spreads this idiots words. Thoughts?
Nevermind....Ian Quinto brings the gold as the response on another thread.

Wow! People need to learn the difference between drugs (made by man) And the herb (made by God). The very first page of the Bible states that all herb yielding seed after its own kind, is good and to be used by man as meat. I have discussed this with every religious person I have had the pleasure to speak with. Not a single one could place their opinions over God's. Man says no, God says yes, who do you believe? I know not everyone is religious or follow the same beliefs. But most Brazilians are Catholic. And either way no one can refute MJ is natural, whereas drugs are man made. As far as fake medicine, someone should point him to Rick Simpson, so he can see and hear the proof :) I'm quite sure it won't matter, but at least he would no longer be ignorant, and would be choosing to be stupid after that point. You can lead a horse through the desert to water, but you still can't force it to drink...
Chris I agree 100% on all three of your posts! There are sooo many poor delusional IGNORANT people in this world. So many that your proverbs still hold true. Great knowledge brings great frustration... ;( But we still must do what we can, and not spread the hate. In case I sounded derogatory here is the def of ignorant: lack of knowledge on a subject. Not having the information to accurately answer the test/task/question. Stupidity is choosing not to comprehend the info after it is given, or the inability to.
It's silly to call Eddie a coward when it would take so much courage to do what he did with Jiu Jitsu considering how "open minded" a lot of BJJ community is.
Despite recent major 10p wins can you really blame him for being critical of the system? Its our duty to compete and show the System has its place in jj and mma. 10th planet isnt that well known hell there is only one school here in dfw and about a hundred traditional bjj ones and you would be surprised how uneducated/uninterested people are About 10thp. as for his personal comments about eddie thats to be expected, these brazilians can be quite ignorent
When they want to be....
Wow, what a fully fleshed out, well developed, researched and cited perspective on physical fitness and health. That's the only thing I hate about martial arts in general, is the culture of presumed knowledge. Too much saying random stuff and pointing at your belt or your trophy case. That's actually what drew me to Eddie's instructional, he logically explains his perspective on everything and how he came to the conclusions that he has. He doesn't just say, "I tapped Royler." whenever someone argues with him.
Guys thats speak like this are full of contradictions......
Its bad for you or its cheating/performance enhancer.......you can't have it both ways.
I think he is just trying to get some attention. He knows Eddie has tons of fans and in his other dumb ass video you could sense the envy to Eddie's success.
He could have done a better Public service announcement against drugs rather than spending half the time talking about Eddie.
Church!
Quoted for truth.
Yeah, I speculate that he's gotta discredit Eddie because he said RG doesn't work then Vinny Mag basically showed how effective it is if done properly on one of the biggest grappling platforms out there.
The crazy thing is, RG has a bad name because a lot of dudes think RG is just pulling your leg up so most people see "RG" fail because guys aren't doing it right. During ADCC a lot of guys in the chat kept mentioning RG whenever a guy would pull their leg up. I'm like, "no dude, that's not RG. He's not hugging his knee. He doesn't have his leg in the right spot. He needs to learn it right." BUT when somebody who actually KNEW the system (Vinny Mag) he makes it work. Go figure.
But I mean, hey, the longer they stay ignorant, the better we get, the more medal/trophies we take home until they accept that it's time to adapt.
I can totally see him believing in what he's saying. I don't think he's necessarily PR whoring and I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, and trust that he actually thinks he's helping by making his statement. The problem though is that he's just making a trite shallow unsubstantiated statement that my mother could have pulled out from her hat without even using google. The only difference between my mom and Comprido is that wall of medals behind Comprido's back. Though respectable, a wall of medals and a black belt don't comprise a cohesive argument.

The underground has a thread on this if any of you want to put your two cents
Just sparked and followed Jack's link and saw that thread and another about Rogan smoking pot as well. In the Rogan thread I found this little gem.

didn't want to pass it up, as I surely would have forgotten about it.
You just would have forgot about it from all the weed you smoke Chris .... I think that the weed makes your brain over work because its so performance enhancing ... which leads to an overload of your brain which can be bad for short term memory ......
See well researched and thought out ... see Comprido wasnt contradicting himself .... you just need someone like Renato to translate from Portuguese ...
I have a feeling the hate will continue to flow until a bona fide TPJJ black belt makes a splash at Abu Dhabi. Sure, Vinny was a nice endorsement of the system, but critics can look at his omoplata sweep and say that it was just an example of high guard in action without feeling the need to credit Eddie (even if Vinny does). I really wish Denny had been healthy enough to make an even bigger statement.
That being said, I don't need Comprido's approval for TPJJ to work for me, so I say let them eat cake.

Now, on grappling weekly facebook somebody wrote Nino Schembri invented the rubber guard and grappling weekly agreed. so I looked up Nino on Wiki and it says he invented variations of omoplata. But he invented gogoplata. Nothing on Rubberguard.

Andrew Jenkins He wasn't even talking in this video about the rubber guard? I agree with Comprido that weed never has had anything to do with jiu jitsu and never will. With Eddie's logic weed should improve any athletes performance and I don't think many top level athletes are using it to increase thier performance before competition. And for the record Nino Schembri is the "inventor" of the rubber guard. He just didnt call it anything.

Jordan Burton Eddie Bravo is an innovator and really a damn good grappler. Schembri should've called it something. *shruggs*
People hate on Bravo too much. It think it's ridiculous and comical to be honest. Katy Perry makes a song of drunken friday nights, Threesomes, and sex with aliens and we a'int tripping.
I love martial arts and BJJ; but, this game has a LOT of egos and high horses. Now, I respect Comprido's take ... just wouldn't call Eddie an idiot for advocating marijuana recreationally.

Jordan Burton I don't take Eddie seriously on saying weed increases sports performance. He's a BJJ Black Belt and teacher ... not a sports physiologist nor doctor of a sports discipline.

André Quiles I don't care if you are a weed user or not, but please don't try to associate it with our BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU culture, it's sucks to see people trying to change our culture, like new stupid names for our old techniques or blue belts coaching on youtube. First you need to learn, than you can be able to teach, second respect, I don't try to change the wrestreling or american football names. I never met comprido, but I respect his polited attitude. He always was a great competitor and good example for our kids and I can't say that I don't like Eddie, he can be a great guy, but with only a mistake. But where I came from you solve your problems fighting, not talking. and try to fight with one Brazilian is try to fight with all!!! Tamu juntu Rodrigo COMPRIDO Medeiros

David Madore why do you think bravo is such an innovator, he's known for the twister ( a wrestling move) and rubber guard (schembri) and weed (retarded concept) he also has an odd affiliation with rabbits

Michael Dewitt Jr Madore: This is not the first time Comprido has bashed on Eddie Bravo, the dude is a punk. He may be good at BJJ but he is obviously a punk in life. Have you ever studied RG or do you like most traditional gi practitioners that equate Eddie with the twister and a high guard that Schembri used for two moves (omaplata and gogoplata)? Comprido specifically said that Eddie is an idiot and not an innovator. I understand that there are plenty of instructors who disapproveof MJ. I don't do drugs but I am not about to say that marijuana is a fake medicine like this tool, I know I am good at jiu jitsu and not because of anything other than hustle and muscle and mind my own freaking business. This whole butt hurt issue over techniques being tagged with names is ridonkulous. There are always different names for techniques whether its american football or jiu jitsu. Suck it up and quit being so sensitive.

I'm going to rethink my whole life after that video. He is a very powerful speaker with very convincing arguments. What were his arguments again? If u can't talk to a girl go dry hump some dudes? He knows some guys who arrest people for weed, so weed is bad? Or my favorite " what about the kids?". I don't think too many kids are getting caught smoking by their parents and blaming Eddie. I'm against weed and I even thought comprido came off as a fool in that video
Watching that video and reading the comments made my brain hurt. No disrespect to Comprido's Jiu Jitsu competition achievements but I always saw him as a kind of dumb jock figure. With his goofy ass colored hair and posing/kissing his medals in Arte Suave. Granted, He showed some cool moves and has trained with some awesome people but come up with a better argument rather then blatantly hating on Eddie.
Word for the wise! The more you can distance yourself emotionally in your argument and state actual facts rather then blanket statements; the more credibility you'll have. At least with the people who know what they are talking about. Blanket statements tend to rope in the sheep more, unfortunately.
I just realized the irony of my post after hitting send. <.<
