Comprido talking about Eddie the Hubberband gward & 10th Planet JJ

[Josh Passini]

Comprido is legit. He's a insane Gi guy but I have never seen any of his nogi but I would assume it's on point being a 7 time world champ.

Have you heard of that Kiko guy who is training hard to take home a medal for August 20th's GQ Executive 159lb division novice for himself and the 10P Family? =D

LoL, I had to put on a self-affirming statement on here somewhere =D.

[NelsonLucca]

I thought he was pretty respectful.

Agree Nelson. Plus I love how he pokes fun at the system using the term Hubberband Gward. Or was that just his normal way of talking? Either way, entertaining =D.

[Frank R.]

Lol. It's an accent.

[john botello]

Comprido is a super cool guy, always wanting to share his knowledge

Odd how people say Eddie acts like he invented moves. Comprido says the Twister is an old wrestling move. Eddie made that clear in his book and DVD. He didn't take credit for inventing it. Many of the moves in his books are named after the people who invented them and others are attributed to their creators in the text accompanying the moves. I really don't know how Eddie got tagged with this "taking credit for moves" thing... Eddie even credits little things like the "Marcelo stance".

The core problem I think would be ego. It's hard for some to accept that maybe, just maybe, a small, Mexi-American stoner might have the one of the keys to expanding and evolving jiu jitsu. I don't think this would at all ever have been a controversy if Eddie was born Eddie Gracie, or even Eddie Machado. And don't get me wrong, respect the Gracies greatly. Very few families can say they've contributed so much to the martial arts the way the Gracies have.
