Hahaha, I bet you're glad that you ended up reading it though!

Also, I like the blog man. I've added you on twitter so I can see when updates happen.

[brent_littell]

oh shit, watch out jason or he'll drum you out of the systems with accusations of beastlity!



Just fuckin around Mr. Littell . . . Sir.

When Brandon was kicked out it was because I created a link on mma.tv asking about his rank. Within a day he was gone.

Ari was under very similar situation.

You may be joking but I don't fuck around when loons want to make a name off the system. By the way, many people don't actually believe the helio story. First off, helio was bigger than Carlos. The picture evidence is everywhere. Second, that story about never doing bjj and the wole helio narrative only came out after the death of Carlos cause Carlos would have had his head for that bullshit. Third, helio could do pull-ups.

Notice only the white belts and blues want it to be true that you can magically substitute mat experience with YouTube viewership.

Its all good sam we can debate and disagree without it being hate. I can partly agree, i would rather have an instructor who has traversed the path him/herself before they teach me. I was just saying we should take note that someone can teach without out having done it it before to a certain level. We have to look at the fact that Cora is not learning 10p tech from her BJJ school and she doesn't go to a moon. So what were you guys assuming she is learning it on her own, highly doubt it. Bruce is putting the information together and drilling it with her and it seems like he is making sure to get the details. Professor Eddie has said himself "Cora is killing it some of the best rubber guard he's seen". She learned from her father who doesn't roll. Now as she her game evolves she should seek out an instructor that has had more mat time, so the instructor can trouble shoot roll with her and monitor her progress that way. Also yes, we do not want to water down the system with people teaching that aren't qualified themselves, ok he wants to teach. Well the there are steps make a HotBox and there are qualifications for that i.e competing and going to a moon at least once a month. If he doesn't roll then he cant meet them, so there for its not a HotBox, and not part of 10th Planet. Maybe that's why he calls it Jiu-Jitsu 4 FREE. Just look at Cora, sure Bruce can teach kids who don't know jiu jitsu yea sure there only gonna get so much from him but its FREE jiu-jitsu you get what u pay for. But im sure he will plant that jiu-jitsu seed and it will make them seek to go to a real school.

P.S. As for calling him a predator that shit is wack, i dont know him well enough to say weather he is or isnt so i just dont go around throwing accusations like that....that is Internet Bullying at its finest. Internet thugs only thing there tapping is the keyboard.

I agree with this. Bruce has been nothing but crazy cool. Cora has been competing her ass off and her rubber guard is fantastic. Sure Bruce isn't certified to run a school but his heart is genuine and you can't deny that he's done an excellent job with his daughter. Please, enough with the harsh posts, Bruce is a good guy, Jesus.

Anyone who thinks it's fine to have someone who is unqualified teach ANY martial art should go lurk at Bullshido for a while. The martial arts industry has no oversight, except that which we provide ourselves. There's no government ranking and certification process or anything like that. Price is irrelevant to the discussion. If you're learning from an unqualified instructor, whether you pay 200 bucks a month in an unbreakable 10 year contract, or it's 100% free, you are getting sub standard instruction which can result in injury or death (and this risk is not confined to the "dojo").

Bruce said he wanted the focus to be on self defense, but most of what I see out of Cora's vids is sport jits. Even if he had developed some understanding of these things, he has no idea how to apply them to self defense situations. His free unqualified self defense jiu jitsu lessons could very easily lead to one of his students getting themselves hurt outside the gym. How many of us have rolled with "self taught" people before? Who know jits cause they "study" UFC fights? Sure, they may know somewhat how to do an arm bar, or an RNC, but they don't know jits, a fact which becomes instantly apparent while rolling.

To me, it's not about even about 10pjj, it's about jits as a whole. We, the jits community are the ONLY thing that can provide any type of quality control. We have a responsibility to the consumer, and to the art, to maintain our high standards, and to point out that which is unqualified or sub standard, because no one else will, and if we DON'T, then we all suffer. The art becomes diluted over time until it eventually becomes a joke. That affects all of us, whether we're 10pjj, or Gracie Barra, or MABJJ.

Despite the BJJ explosion since 1993, we are still a small community, and we all trace our lineages back to, essentially, a couple places. It's easy to shoot an email off to GB and ask if so and so in your community holds a GB rank. That's how fakes and pretenders get caught, because we find them. Random parent walks into a gym, sees a certification on the wall and assumes all is well, having no idea how easy those can be faked. These are serious issues. How proud of your lineage are you? We all know that by heart for a reason!

The predator stuff was largely the opinion of one guy. That's the kind of thing that should be dropped. It's an unsubstantiated allegation that shouldn't be thrown around lightly. There's no evidence of any wrongdoing by Bruce whatsoever. That all comes from one guy who thinks the way he posts is weird. Fair point, but that hardly makes him a predator. I personally don't post like that about my daughter, not because I lack Bruce's pride, but because I recognize that she's young, and there could come a time when she's older that she doesn't want to have her entire life on the internet, so I don't share a ton about her. But that's my choice, because I want her to have a choice someday about how much of her life is posted out there. There's a ton of parents in my FB news feed that clearly have different thoughts on that, as I get a ton of "look what jimmy did today!" every day.

If Bruce really wants to pursue his plan of offering free jiu jitsu lessons to underprivileged kids, which is an awesome idea imho, then he needs to be willing to put out the minimal effort required to becoming qualified to do so. He doesn't need to take the hot box route, he doesn't need to compete, but he does need to train. There are a ton of opportunities out there that he could take advantage of. He could go the Gracie Garage route, learn via Gracie University, and progress at his own pace, according to his own limitations, until such time that he can satisfy the minimum qualifications necessary to teach. Alternatively he could start lessons where Cora trains. Their jits is legit, whether it's 10p or not. The point is, having a qualified instructor is extremely important. Bruce, as he is today, is not qualified to teach jits. He has options which he could utilize to change that and become qualified. Until he does so, he should not teach, and in fact, if he did, he'd wind up on Bullshido. And for good reason.

Sounds like you might be getting my posts mixed up with other guys. I wasn't supporting kurzys opinion just making a joke. Like i posted early in the thread i have the luxury of joking in these situations as you may not. I dont even know this helio story that's being referenced. Not taking sides just making jokes. I wouldn't tell black belts in the system how to behave or what to say on the forum.

I liked bruce, hope he comes back and all but his dramatic reaction left him begging to be the target of some ribbing. If you look back I never said anything bad about the guy.
