Teaching BB and Fighting BB. . . That's interesting. . .

So is it possible to become a black belt in BJJ without ever going to a competition? Because I know that in most martial arts competition is optional. It's not required to advance up the ranks.

yeah, you don't have to compete. Danaher never competed once (one of GSP's bjj coaches), but I hear that he submits everyone including world champs. Some guys compete, some don't. Most schools have competition teams. If you are on the comp team, a little more rolling proficiency is expected. Some schools have comp team patches on the gi to delineate the "fighters" (they call competitors fighters) from the guys just training for fun.

Ask Randy Couture .He got his bb for submitting a boxer.

Not in bjj.

That wasn't his BJJ black belt he was given in the middle of cage?

No, it was in Neil Melanson's grappling system or whatever. Not BJJ

I think it was his black belt in UFC

I wanna roll with James Toney and see if I could tap him out in less than 5 minutes.

What the fuck is that?

Something like Greg Jackson's Gaido JuJutsu. Just a guy coming up with his own system...

Chael Sonnen, I just had surgery but I can still give you your present in the octagon with just one arm. All you have to do is accept

I am thinking about dumping some money into a non-law related small business start up. Any ideas? Just want a better ROI than the market.

John Danaher's hair has got it going on.

[edman5555]

Yeah someone needs to be honest with him about that hair.
