What is your favorite BJJ / martial arts saying?

[AFanNotAFighter]

"Boards...don't hit back."

 

[ChickenBrother]

I'm still not sure I understand the significance of this entire scene. Why is Daniel able to catch the fly when his master has been unable to for his lifetime?

It's just a silly aside to illustrate that it's better to be lucky than good.

But that's a terrible lesson.

Regarding training, & the shit that inevitably happens along the way:

Lol. I watched the scene again and there is also an air of Miyagi striving for something unattainable and bettering himself in the process.



He's genuinely annoyed when Daniel does it and attributes it to "beginner's luck." But youthful exuberance and naivete (aided by luck) can sometimes accomplish the unthinkable. Especially when they have a good mentor.

If we branch this discussion out to the martial arts in the broadest sense, Napoleon said he'd rather have lucky generals than good ones.

And extra especially when they are the protagonist of the movie.

Nope. Danielson was the bad guy. The protagonist lost.

There’s a sign at the front of our door that says “Whining” with a cross through it.

Oh and one time a student asked my instructor if he used jiu-jitsu in a street fight. He said, “No, I just punch” in broken English.

Don't know if he was kidding, but street jujitsu seems like it should be a purely one-on-one affair where there is no danger of others joining in. Taking it to the ground seems too risky in a multiple opponent fight.

Tap often, tap early

If BJJ is making love, judo is fucking.

So it's intense, one big hip movement and it's over

Position before submission.

[haysus31]

Also not grappling but loved GSP
I am not impressed by your performance

That, along with the fact that there's normally a fat, out of shape man involved somewhere along the line.
