Have you started catching any flack for the “BJJ doesn’t work” comments yet?
“I haven’t personally, but I haven’t really seen or talked to anybody other than my friends, but they’ve been telling me there’s a bunch of stuff online about it. But I haven’t really heard anything other than what other people have read and told me.”
I think I saw a Tweet from Renzo Gracie, said something. Did you hear about that?
“Yeah, one of my buddies said something. I don’t know what it said, but, it happens.”
Why does BJJ not work?
“I don’t know, I mean it just doesn’t. I mean it sort of works. Like if I were to teach a girl a martial art I’d probably go with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, because, you know, it’s kind of trickery, how can a little weak person maybe come out with a win after getting beat up real bad.”
(laughs)
It used to kind of work, right?
“Yeah, when nobody knew anything at all about it, cause, you know, it’s basically trickery. But once the tricks are even mildly known, you’re like, well I’m not falling for that. Are you going to get on Craig’s List and buy a car and wire somebody money that you’ve never met and hope they ship the car to you? Probably not, you know. But I bet a couple people fell for it at first though.”
You’ve used some pretty good moves submitting guys, omoplatas and stuff…
“Yeah… it happens. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile.”
