Jiu Jitsu 4 FREE

[Justin W.]

I hear what you're saying. Bad example, though. Greg Jackson is a decades long Martial Artist.

I also think this is much different than traditional sports (basketball, baseball, etc...). We're doing 2 things here:
a) teaching you how to hurt people
b) teaching you how to keep yourself from being hurt

A guy who has never played basketball is gonna teach you poor form on a jump shot and have a team full of kids that can't handle a full-court press. It ain't the same thing. It's a liability issue for Bruce.

fair enough. I agree.

Did you think that just because I said I will train kids only, that their parents aren't there watching?

Dude, ignore that part. I don't think too many people were saying it, just a couple. Plus, it baffles me why someone would respond in such an acerbic manner.

I truly hope he keeps cora in jiu-jitsu... It sounds like he may be taking her out of the sport now... He unfriended my on facebook and said "we are no longer going down this path" and thanked me for all my support... Not what we were going for... Cora had/has so much potential and Bruce could achieve something too if he put all that passion into jiujitsu... I doubt he'll even check this thread but I thought I'd tell you guys what's up... I definitely lost sleep last night over this affecting Cora.... I never like to think I contributed to a negative thing...
Peace

I think some people on this thread took it too far which only speculation, which is very unfortunate..

I said the predator thing. It seems creepy to invite a bunch of poor kids to your garage to wrassle. Tell me that doesn't sound shady as fuck.

No .....that's sounds very ........normal

I know I came off harsh. That was the point. The guy is outright delusional thinking he has any place teaching this sport. I don't want him in any way using our name to promote his bullshit. In a week he would be asking about hot box status and we would look like a joke having a guy lower than a white belt teaching. Just what we need, another fucking thing to make our vetting process come into question

You guys don't have as much to defend, but if eddies name goes to shit by being associated with douches then my name goes to shit too as one of his black belts.

How much you want to bet he would go into his daughters bjj school talking about his kids program. That would lead to gossip about us and it would spread like wildfire in Texas, thanks to our past with Brandon. Good riddance. Him deleting you guys from Facebook shows what a loon he was.

Well said, thats 110% the truth

I don't care what anyone says, that looks horrible.

+1 seems cool to me, aside from not being qualified to do so.

i'm not hating on or judging anything brent said, like he pointed out he has a lot more vested in the system than me/most of us.

I keep seeing videos on youtube of teachers in Brazil opening their gym doors to poor kids. It's a different country and different culture though.
