    I love the fact that Gracie's crew has no idea just how effective Eddie's system really is. They're just a bunch of bjj vets who grew up with traditional bjj and are just too closed minded and fixated on the gi system. Evolution happens in every sport, and if it wasn't for Eddie Bravo, bjj and mma wouldn't be the same as it is today. His system has made the sport more and more popular over the last ten years. The proof is in every single ufc fight, all you have to do is watch them and you'll see at least one person pullin off one of Eddies moves during the fight..bc his shit works! It's like they have this attitude where if you're not wearin a gi and focusing on tradition bjj then you're wasting your time. I know this guy at my old gym who says he's been in the jits game "30 years" and says he "met Eddie a few years back" and when he sees me double-baggin he says "oh don't do that, you don't have shit there" as I then go to chill dog while preventing him from backin out which ultimately led to a gogoplata. People just shouldn't be so closed minded.

    I don't think this will be the case. You can't generalize all Gracie's or Gracie guys. Mass generalizations are always wrong.

    And many definitely respect Eddies ability to pull it off, just not his students. I have seen an entire gym full of haters(mostly Gracie guys) turn into fanboys when he walked in.
