Exactly. Even in smaller clubs, like the one I train at, we are encouraged to compete right from the white belt level. To test ourselves against others of the same skill level outside of practice. Which is where you can gauge your real mental strength. I've never met a black belt who has never competed.
this is part of the reason why wrestling is superior to bjj
Man he already got man handled by elderly bad hip coleman what ego is there to kill he might as well try it, sean patrick flanery is 52 same age as joe might as well grapple him in a superfight at polaris or metamoris would be fun
what does this have to do with bjj tourneys?
Yeah most black belts are given to guys who actually competed in some form of legit challenge, either mma, or a match tourney.
Understandable, but what about bjj or grapple matches masters or senior division? There is No excuse for him not to test himself, if the late Anthony Bourdain competed in a tourney why not joe?
yes, but why didn't he compete in bjj, you are missing half the title question
Yes and Rogan turns into a bully on the podcast, he always tries to check callen saying stop you are not a tough guy bryan, i wish for once bryan would just snap and call rogan out for being a wannabe who doesnt have the guts to test himself in competition. rogan ticks a lot of people off why does he have the nerve to talk down on bryan doing smoker sparring type fights, but he doesnt even do jits tourneys himself? It seems he is jealous and insecure and disses callen because a guy who he feels is inferior to him even has the balls to step up and test himself every weekend.
Tank Abbott challenged joe rogan to a ufc fight in his post fight interview and joe timidly giggled like a nervous school girl, tank did it because he hear joe rogan questioning his technique
10-15 in MMA, 10-16 if Joe would've fought him.
ot who drools on pro fighters looks, and pick on non fighters/non trained civilians to make himself look good.
