Rickson dedicated his life to jiu jitsu: learning, developing, competing, teaching.

I read Opening Closed Guard, it’s a really interesting book. I can’t wait for the documentary.

The blame culture: In 2019 I was competing as a 56 year old BJJ black belt in a couple of tournaments and after a match I lost I pointed to my much younger and very accomplished coach and said out loud “You’re FIRED!” It was spontaneous, culturally satirical and good for a few laughs. Drysdale’s views on the subject of not taking personal responsibility completely resonate with me.

I agree be accountable and seek the truth 💯👍🥋BJJ ❤️

How come Oswaldo Fadda is not spoken of more often?

[PeterJames]

In Brazil apparently "professor" just means teacher...

Stopped listening after dude said empathized with Eddie Bravo and some of his conspiracy theories. Eddie is good at sport BJJ but is uneducated and stupid in a lot of ways.
