A Royler Gracie Black Belt Says, "The Real Jiu Jitsu is on the Bottom"

I'd rather be sort of on my side.

I prefer to be on my head

"hope for the best, prepare for the worst."

Native American guard is the new hotness... get on it and evolve.

Id say on my stomach is the last place id want to be. :P (please dont kill me)

the way i recieved it was that the technical aspects of jiu-jitsu can be seen from the bottom.
though for mma, top is definately the biggest want, definately better know how to fight off your back.

i've found it to be more true for me and guys my size when it comes to ground fighting. most peopel are larger than me and dont have much trouble putting me back over, so i've learned to kinda expand my options for jiu-jitsu from guard.

lol definately have to agree with Chronic_Jiujitsu, my stomach is the very last place i'd want to be anyday.

I might get a tattoo that says "Pull Guard."

I'm gonna butt scoot to my vaporizer now.
