Joe Rogan height megathread

These threads are getting better.

No, unlike you dorks I actually do train and you see cops, servicemen and women, athletes, all walks of life come in and give people fucking serious problems.
Joe is not trained in "Unarmed combat", he's trained in Tae Kwon Do, which is fake and gay, and has a 10p BB and a Machado blackbelt that don't hold a lot of weight in competitive BJJ or grappling these days (no offense to either Eddie or Jean Jacques, who i love as people and martial artists).

Street fights are completely different. Joe Rogan has never been in a street fight which is why he's so defensive when people talk about fighting in the street. Joe is a short 50 year old with bad knees, a bad neck and shitty cardio. If someone hit Joe Rogan as hard as they can without his consent, he could and probably would get knocked the hell out and his 35 year old TKD accolades would mean nothing.

Better question: Why is Joe constantly comparing himself to "The Average Person"?

I train as well - about 7 years of consistent training over like 12 years, so I know something about it as well. Yes, untrained, highly athletic people can come in and give you problems, but those guys are incredibly rare, and the degree to which they give you problems is generally related to your skill level.

Joe competed in tkd, and while no it's not the same as more complete striking arts, he was fairly good at it and suggesting it's 'fake and gay' is nonsense. Competition tkd means he was regularly doing contact sparring, which in itself gives you a huge advantage over the average person. Couple that with the fact that's he has actually continued to train in several other standup arts for the last 20+ years, your dismissing of his standup abilities to the general population is absurd.

Similarly, you're talking about his BJJ black belt with reference to other competition black belts? What are you talking about? We're talking about general population here, not current top black belt competitors, lol. By all accounts he's a legit blackbelt, and to suggest that a legit BJJ blackbelt doesn't also beat most average guys in a fight is also absurd.

Combine those two things with the fact that he's in very good shape, and the idea he doesn't just destroy most guys is either dishonest due to blind hating or delusional about the fighting abilities of the vast majority of men.

Thanks again Don Quixote. Have a like.

I just love how someone explains why some 50 year old manlet isn't going to just jiu-jitsu his way out of a 25 year old bouncer knocking him out and you're like "You're shifting the goalposts"

The goalpost is Joe saying "I would maul The Average Person™ "

Yeah, maybe in a match sanctioned by the NSAC (Joe would never pass the drug test) where there's a referee and rules. If someone came up and clocked Joe, he's not going to suddenly turn into a D1 wrestler and single-leg his way out of it. Dumb. If you believe that, you're dumb.

Being sucker punched is losing a fight?

Lol, I'm sure I could beat a few guys in the UFC then.

I'm talking about it compared to most black belts. Most black belts are better at BJJ than Joe. Most brown belts are better than Joe. Most purple belts are better than Joe.
Eddie's Blackbelts aren't high level competitors
Machado's blackbelts aren't high level competitors

Even most high level BJJ competitors wouldn't tick my "Can beat most people in a fist fight" box.
Bruno Malfacine isn't beating up your local bouncer.

Joe's delusional. He thinks fighting is like some sanctioned MMA bout where he'll have time to circle around and figure out your game then "MAUL" you with his shit cardio and cartilage-less knees. It's not. It's someone swinging and someone reacting.

When's the last time you've been in a fight?
Someone hitting you isn't being sucker punched. If you get into a shoving match and someone decides to ramp it up, that's not a sucker punch.

Sounds like BJJ isn't any better than Akido outside the confines of its own ruleset. And TKD you said was fake. What training is legit useful in streetfighting?

 

[Pizza Werewolf]

This is just marketing for his new movie.
Look I wasnt supposed to say anything but,

Im gonna leak it here cuz I trust you guys can keep a secret.

Okay.


Shhhhhhhh.

Here it is yo.

A gun

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

A gun

Good to know I'm covered. Well, if only it were legal to carry around here.

 

[Angry Bob]

The weirdest part is how he seems to think big hands and wide shoulders hints that you're a violent person.

 

[Bald1]

You secretly live in Canada or something?

He's being nonsensical because he doesn't want to admit he's wrong. Training BJJ or any form of legit martial art gives you an absolutely huge edge over the vast majority of the population. He mentioned guys that can walk into a gym and give experienced guys trouble - that occasionally happens, but what happens most of the time is guys who are experienced effortlessly toy with people with no experience.

That said, your should always avoid a fight at all costs - you may win a fight seven out of ten times, but those three times a wild fist connects and knocks you unconscious you could be savagely beaten or killed.

 

[Robocok]

I would tap Rogan in the gi.

He trains no gi. Silly statement imo.

'Go put a jacket on and I'll collar choke the crap out of you'
Wow, cool, nice job

 

[JbModest]

Joe Rogan "Yeah there is a lot of violence in me I dont know if it is genetic or learned. I look like a violent person, you know if I didnt know me, you know just the way I am built, Not even the working out part just the size of my hands the width of my shoulders there is most likely a lot of violence in my history and my past"

Joe wants you to know he is a big man he has violence in him he could kill possibly!



Neil Degrayse Tyson: ""so are you 5"7 & 3/4""

Joe Rogan "it is probably closer to that"



Also Neil called out Joe on his lying height at 12:05 seconds.

CLIFFS in first time Neil went on Joe Rogan they butt headeds. Guy below believes Neil when he went on the 2nd time was passive aggressive enough to cornee Joe and make him uncomfortable as payback for Joe insulting him or interpurting him the first time



5"7 &3/4

Ahahahahahah!

Ffs he's talking about Kimo vs Garacie but his ego won't let him admit he's talking out his ass.

 

[Da Speeit]

"Having a huge advantage" which is completely circumstantial, does not mean you'd "maul" 99.99% of the world's population, or anything close.

I'm way more of an authority on this than Joe. I train more than Joe,I know more about BJJ and grappling in general, I've been in dozens of street fights, some in the past few years. I know what I'm talking about and don't have to theorize about whether or not i can "Maul" someone based on a TKD tournament from when Reagan was president.

 

[Da Speeit]

So you don't think he earned his Blackbelt in the gi fairly? Bold statement.

No Gi is stupid anyway, and I'd like my chances against Joe there too.

 

[Da Speeit]

If you think Joe is anywhere near Royce on the ground you're out of your fucking mind.

 

[Bald1]

The only one who's out of his mind in this thread is you. Lol.

If the comparison is that of Joe vs Gracie, then who the hell do you think Kimo represents? We are talking about the disparity in skill levels after all, right? This is 1+1=2 stuff dude.
