BJJ Quotes

Bump lol... I got to add this because it WAS awesome.

Draculino in response to the possibility of his name being used to promote a seminar that may have frauds in it.

He looked me straight in my eyes...and his face tightened causing the mood to get serious...and he said...
"Listen to me........My name is not a bone to be carried in a dogs mouth"

...classic.

points for it being off the cuff as well. not written in a book or said in a video.
 
I've always been partial to this "description" of BJJ that is posted in our academy...

White Belt-You are just learning the words. You do not always fully understand them, but you are starting to build a vocabulary. You can sometimes get your point across with a single word, or two strung together, but that is usually by accident.

Blue Belt-You have built up your word vocabulary, and are starting to use sentences. They are not always well punctuated, and are most often very simple. You are starting to notice the intricacies of those who write well, but are not yet able to match their abilities.

Purple Belt-You have a good understanding of how sentences are put together, and are finding ways to say the same thing using different approaches. You are working on proper grammar, and can now start to put together well structured paragraphs. Your individual style is also starting to come through.

Brown Belt-Your style and writing ability are very well established. You are more than capable of writing a book.

Black Belt-Poetry.
 
Saulo Ribeiro's definition of BJJ " the art that a small guy, without hitting you, without trying to humiliate you, is going to prove that no matter how strong you are, no matter how mad you get you going to have to accept defeat"

on the fundamentals of BJJ

"if you think you late, if you late you muscle, if you muscle you get tired and if you get tired you die. when you die is when you tap"
 
this turned out to be an awesome thread ... cool quotes and some loud ass laughs lol
 
"Jiu-Jitsu makes me powerful...it makes me 1000 times more powerful than you...it makes my professor 100 times more powerful than me......so....you definitely don't want to fuck with my professor :) "
 
'Jiu Jitsu is a conversation between two people....if you are too aggressive the other person will respond the same, so make it like a debate, where you are firm in your convictions but eloquent in your delivery, succeeding by technique and respect so that your opponent can learn something too without anger and ego'

My humble BJJ instructor Ryan Dunstan, a purple under Matt Cooper and Anthony Perosh in the Machado lineage.
A VERY good purple. I can hang with other purples but I just feel like I'm in slow motion with him, he uses no strength, just effortless and smooth.
