about ari, he may have done things wrong sometimes from what ive read, but he is the one that started me onto the rubber guard and broke it down better than anyone else i could find until i found a 10th gym nearby. so without him i wouldnt be here, gotta give him respect for that.
wish him well and i hope that he continues to improve and enjoy jiu jitsu.
btw those pics are awesome kurzy, youre a lucky guy.
Lol! i dont think we're close because we're hated on the most. We're close, even when we never have met face to face, because we're part of a system that believes in furthering Jiu jitsu, so we look past everything else. Couple that with all the many personalities we have, the way we dress, and the comeraderie we share, it's hard not to hate on us, from the outside looking in. And to those naysayers, I say, "keep peeking, because you can't see me."
