sounds like some haters going wild with rumors
It's true, it was me.
EGDBBB. Pretty big acronym but could catch on
Must of been one bad ass blue belt...You got a link to the forum post? im shure its was just haters talking shit
anything is possibly, but i don't see eddie getting "destroyed" by a blue belt.
Everyone gets lucky. And maybe he was one of those blue belts who has been a blue belt for years or maybe Eddie was being nice. You know, Josh Barnett is only a Black Belt because EriK Paulson says he's a Black Belt. Josh went from white to black because Erik said so. And Josh won a big Jiu Jitsu tournement as a white belt in the black belt division. This belt color thing only matters as much as you want it to matter. I'm going to botch one of Royce Gracie's quotes here: "A black belt only covers 3 inches of your ass. You have to cover the rest."
ugh...wow...why all the hate...does it even matter...when was the last time eddie even competed?
this is slightly off topic but since the topic is eddie getting destroyed, does anyone know when renatolaranja.com is going to be up? he said he was reppin that site when he was talkin to mitrione. maybe we can get some insite on the gi, gripping enhancment due to the gi, capoeira, renato picking up on chicks due to the capoeira, acai juice and more of him talking about "that black guy".
What does "destroyed" mean? When you roll with everyone, eventually you will get tapped by somebody. It's not a big deal. Unlike some instructors who just sit on their ass while everyone else is rolling.
^Very well put!
dude, next time you post something like this ^, provide a freakin link.
now, since i am a very nice christian man, i will do it for you, but this will be the first and only time.

"Uh BJ would whomp his ass in whatever submission he wanted. Eddie bravos claim to fame is a win over royler. My friends a bjj blue belt and mopped eddie bravo. I witnessed it, call me a liar, i dont care, i saw it with my own eyes. so, maybe eddie isn't as good as he was back in the day, i dont know, but i do know that bj would pop his head off rear naked choke"

Think about how many blue belts Eddie has tapped though.....
Ian, I'd hit that too, and without her permission. Wait, isn't that called something?
And regarding Eddie,
#1. Good sir Bravo rolls with EVERYONE that comes in the door, no matter what. There are VERY few instructors that do that, and it says a LOT about him. I personally know a 2nd degree Gracie black near me that doesn't roll live, EVER...that's garbage.
#2. If perchance Eddie was tapped by any blue belt, I can assure you that's the exception, and NOT the rule.
#3 Don't get so wound up over bullshit folks post on forums (like the one we're on), every single person alive thinks that their instructor is the best on the planet, so it's natural for someone to say, "oh my instructor or his students would smash your instructor...blah blah blah". It's human nature.
#4 If anyone doesn't believe in what Eddie teaches, or that he's furthered Jiu Jitsu more than anyone in the past almost decade, and continues to do so, then they shouldn't train under him.
If anything eddie is way better than he was "back in the day." It does'nt matter if a blue tapped him, he is still tha master.
Keyboard Warriors......Think the only person to put us all straight would be Eddie himself....not that I care as I totally believe and enjoy 10th Planet in it's entirety...still it makes for some good banter eh lol
Whatever Eddie is the man!
So what! Eddies still my sensei :D
What I have understand that eddie doesent train so much anymore..
No blue belt destroyed Eddie. Dang. People would believe anything.
http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n...amsachnoff.jpgThere was one blue belt that destroyed me and it was 215 pound Adam Sachnoff from 10th Planet San Francisco. He got me with 3 straight guillotines at hq. I am very good at defending guillotines, I rarely get caught with them, but Denny Prokopos taught him well. It was the day after he won the Nogi worlds, that dude is gonna make some serious waves in the grappling scene :)
^^^^ case closed?
Ha ha ha, I wouldn't be surprised if Eddie tooted and booted that chick and then she went back on the net for some keyboard revenge, lol. I'd hit it no-gi ;)
I have been training with Eddie for four years now and in that time I have personally witnessed Eddie walk through many a colored belt all the way up through black. Now...I am obviously not BJ Penn...but I'm a purple belt...been training eight years with basically the best guys around the globe, and can tell you that Eddie fucks me up...effortlessly...five nights a week. I could cut off Eddie's arms and legs and still get Carni'd, GoGo'd, Japanese Necktied, Imanari'd, and Sorcerer'd. It's freakin' black magic if you ask me. Juss sayin'.
to "Be" the man, you goda "Beat" the man. I have no idea what im talking about, but you still read it.... lol
now that's it right there!!
I rolled with one of my coaches once...I'm 5'10" 300lbs...well ok...310 now...damnit! Anyway...dude was like 165...guess what...he tapped me...but he had a hard ass time doing it. So what...am I a purple or brown now? Course not...anything is possible when you spar all the time with all of your students. This ain't ancient kung fu movies...there's nothing wrong with tapping. See..that's what's wrong with some schools nowadays. The instructors don't roll with their students because they're scared they'll get tapped. Everyone loses with that mentality. I don't care if I ever make blue..well okay...I would like to make blue...but after that...I wanna keep losing weight and rolling and getting better. I got tapped by 165lb guy...so I cracked my arm and locked it back up again...I'm sure a machado black belt would react the same way.
Everyone gets tapped. It really isn't a big deal. As a JKD guy, I have no rank. I've tapped guys I shouldn't have. On the same note, Dartangan "The Sorcerer" Jackson has caught me a few times. Ramone Codrington and I ran out of time, but he def got the better of me. You can't grow if you don't lose.
eddie is still and always will be the man!
i agree with louis ,, if you dont ever get tapped you arent trying out new things or the timing of new things mistakes happen thats how you dont get stuck in the rut of only using your go to shit . As for the belt color i know several guys i work out with that are easily purple belts and maybe a few browns . yet they have no ranking . It is what you make of it .
Who cares....
This is just silly. When I was a white belt, I caught a brown in a triangle. I didn't think I was the second coming of Renato Laranja for it. I just figured I did the right thing when he was messing around. Everyone gets tapped, sometimes you don't defend something 100% because you get caught not respecting a choke etc.
I don't sweat taps. I figure there's a certain amount of times I'm going to get tapped on the road to that Black Belt. So, every time I get tapped I think I learned something and I'm one step closer. I like Eddie because he's always on a road to somewhere, always evolving, tapping is just one of those steps on the journey.
Eddie's system works, everyone knows that here.
EVERYONE GETS CAUGHT!
I've caught a few Black Belts... it wasn't because I'm an AWESOME Jiu-Jitsu guy, it was because they are human, and sometimes they make human errors.
This "Blue Belt" is probably a sandbagger that caught Eddie on an off day. I've rolled with Eddie on 2-3 occasions and NEVER CAME CLOSE to catching him.
Why are all these threads coming back from two years ago...
It was Renato.
Oh fuck, I started reading this thread, then I saw the Eisner post and looked at the date. Pfft.
Everyone gets caught. If you catch a higher belt once it's not that big of a deal. Was the higher belt working on something? Was he injured? Was he much smaller or out of shape? There are way too many variables for getting a tap on a higher belt once to really matter. Now if you are tapping your legit black belt instructor going full speed 8/10 times then maybe that is saying something.
