Episode #107 "Why self defense in BJJ isn’t BS"

Description:

During last weeks show we had a question about throwing punches at a person that’s getting his next rank. Kipperdoodles made it clear that he thought this was a dumb idea and he doesn’t do Jiu Jitsu to get punched in the face. He doesn’t even do it for self defense. So why would I need to have people beating on me in order to get promoted?


This caused the ire of many in our GD family. The hate a vitriolic comments we received was nothing short of epic. Kip I think decided to double down on his statement more out of fun than actual belief, so we decided to dedicate this weeks show to the importance of not only learning self defense as part of your Jiu Jitsu training, but how it actually makes you better at competing as well. 


Paul Elliot, coincidently, wrote an article all about having a self defense mindset a couple weeks prior to the last episode. We probably could’ve saved ourselves some face if we had read that first rather than after we just gave our unintelligent opinions. But, better late than never...


Paul also wrote a diatribe on the flick chat app and severely reprimanded Kip on the idea that Jiu Jitsu is an art and nothing else. So we went ahead and read that as well.  Because fun.
