The Gi is more "street" than No-Gi?!?!

[Cody Kietzman]

Be careful, chokes in many states are an automatic felony...

Seriously where can i find more info on this. I would like to research my local laws so i don't get into trouble should the need for violence arise. Would this be covered under the states deadly force laws?

Looks to me like you need to drive on over to Torrance and give em the old Gracie Challenge- put your words and your ass on the same mat as them.

Both styles have their benefits-

Wait so I disagree with someone on the internet and now i need to go challenge a third party to a physical confrontation? Who's angry now?

I see you're new here, welcome.

i don't like to be a hater but i don't like this two either. They feel really lethal and they better start boxing or some kind of striking or they r getting knocked out before they are able to grab someone. Second and more in the subject, i live in the coast and 90% of the time people here are with t-shirts or no shirts at all and if they try gi stuff on people and the shirt breaks (that it will) they are getting either stab or head butt or punched.

You're not a hater, you just have an opinion.

Have you ever tried to choke someone with their shirt? You can't choke a person out with a regular shirt collar.

I did at open mat- the guy was new, he picked me up in my guard and slammed me. So I reached up and wrapped that collar around his neck- when it stretches out- it is actually a very good garrote to choke with.

It was very satisfying to see his eyes bulge out as he tapped.

Good Morning Cody,
Thank you for the warm welcome and for the patience in responding to me. I merely point out that you may wish to test their skill level to verify your presumption of their capability with regard to the following statements you made:

1. I don't like these guys anyway...and the GI is gay...

2. GI is super gay and these two tools are just giant salesmen. Really really bad salesmen. The problem is, is their target audience is stupid. I wish they would stop talking to people like they are 4.

3. I really just don't like those two and i wish more people would start to see through them.

4. i don't like to be a hater but i don't like this two either.

5. I refuse to accept what these guys are doing to Jiu Jitsu.

If you don't like them, and they are "tools" that are not practicing Jiu Jitsu, than you should have no problem wrapping them up in a roll and tapping them out. No?

Respect Bro- you never know when Karma is going to come full circle.

Regards,
Robert

Dude, lol. Calm down. But yea if you talk shit on someone the next step is a challenge. No anger just back up your talk. If they suck then you should have no prob. That's not even bjj that's man code.

Talk shit then back it up. Post the video we can see it.

Anger is the enemy
Heads on sticks

So you both challenge everyone you ever had a problem with? Your records must be fatter than Rickson's!!!!!

I just can't resist, I tried, I really did!! I really have to respect anybody who's passion and energy for BJJ exceeds my own by ten fold. The "Hernergy" is freakin outrageous!! Even if a little misguided at times, nobody's perfect. If they showed up at our gym and asked to roll I sure as hell would not kick them out!! I would be open minded and use every second to better myself and my game.
A bunch of what has been said negative about them is basically the same false stuff "Eddie" haters say about Eddie, just in reverse. You could put "Eddie Bravo does/is.......", "No-gi is......." on any negative comment in prior posts and and google it. I'm sure you will find everything has been said at least once by Eddie haters. Why be part of the problem, be part of the solution.

As of this moment, if I had unlimited resources, these are the people ,who do seminars/teach,I would fly into town to teach at our gym. Obvioulsy there are more that would be great, but Feel these would benfit our team the best, right at this moment. No particular order.
1) Eddie Bravo- Duh
2) Chris Herzog, for my "summer of leg locks"
3) Rener Gracie- sick basics, no-gi focused of course, which they would do. MMA punch block position. Bring some fire into the gym!!!
4) Marcelo Garcia- duh
I feel it would be awsome to be a Gracie garage and a 10th planet hotbox at the same time!!! Gimme more, gimme more, I'll purge out the stuff that doesn't fit for me in my game after I learn how to do it properly, and give my teammates the oppourtunity to purge out the stuff that doesn't work for them, after they learn it. Not, me filter, and only give them what I think they should learn.
