circle of ignorance.

ignorance is bliss...

if you think THIS seminar costs too much then you have MINIMAL experience with seminars.

how will you and your team ever get better if you never go out and experience NEW things??

knowledge is POWER!

all the greatest/successful MA fighters make an effort to experience all there is. CROSSTRAIN!

i went to howard's last seminar and the knowledge gained was AWESOME.

even fernando vasconcelos (BJJ BB) admits that his takedown game was seriously lacking until his eyes were opened by the rAw guys.

it doesn't hurt to experience something new... who knows, you MAY learn something!

if you don't try and grow, you'll forever be a technical midget... have fun being defeated.

To tell you the truth I haven't been to the Gracie Academy in a while. I was aware that one of Rorions sons was wrestling. To tell you the truth, that is knd of perplexing. Maybe I will drop in to your seminar too check it out. It's a long drive to LA.

perplexing? why? grappling is grappling. whether it is shootfighting, bjj, american wrestling, shooto, sombo, pancrase, whatever!

the boys love to grapple, are having a blast doing it and are very successful along the way! what more can you ask for?

i, personally, have now found a GREAT respect for wrestling since doing bjj. now, i'll always stop to watch a wrestling match.

1.) Don't try to back-pedal Grahf1...caught you with your blinders on and your eyes closed, so don't try to play it off as if you were joking. Unless you become open minded you will always be a weak BJJ player.

LOL@ Howard getting heated up for nothing.

FYI, I wrestled in High school, and my take downs are just fine.

Why train in takedowns when you can easily pull guard?

This is your statement in supporting Roy Gaflaer. It's not a question of me getting heated up over nothing. It's a question of you being closed minded.

Your credibility is shot, it doesn't matter that you claim you wrestled in high school because I don't believe you.

LOL at your integrity

Howard how old are you?

BTW, it IS a matter of you being heated up for nothing, because this whole time I was trolling!

Roy is trolling too, wether he admits it or not, its quite obvious from his posts. Classic Luke Beston style trolling.

my guesstimate would be that he's in his mid 40's. don't let his age fool you though, he's still got A LOT of fight in him!!

he's one tough muther!

I could take Howard easily, no problem.

What exactly do you find so funny, karlinhos?

Howard has yet to face a phenom such as myself.

[HOWARD KIMONOS]

Grahf1 -

1.) Come to my seminar if you want to meet me.

2.) Originally posted by Grahf1 / I could take Howard easily, no problem.

So where do you want to take me? I'm not a cheap date so bring lots of money.

Howard, I'll see you at the seminar if I can make it.

[Angel_of_Pain]

hmmm a other challenge on the board... will this time (for the first time) be more then word....

[Ryu (JKD?)]

hey Mousel's crew, how're ya all doing?
Fighting amongst yourselves still I see?

LOL, I'm just kidding.
Something crossed my mind that I would find both funny, ironic, and disappointing.
Imagine if BJJ becomes a true "classic" or "traditional" style.
Think it will happen? Anyone think it already is happening?
