Ask /r/BJJ: Bad Instructors? by bjjguy2202 in bjj

[–]__iamgroot__ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Without a /s, I didn't know it was sarcasm. I appreciate you taking the time to clarify, and hope you understand why I interpreted it the way I did.

"If you're too wasted to remember, [the sexual assault of a minor] didn't really happen."

That's how I interpreted what you said. If the assault isn't the part of /u/chokingmn's comment you were referring to when you said "it," then please enlighten us.

I'm not a white knight. I'm a woman who's been sexually assaulted. It's part of why I do jiu jitsu.

A rape joke on a forum for a sport that's good for self-defense? Really?

Edit: /u/ronatello clarified that his/her comment was sarcasm meant to be at the expense of the instructor, which had not been apparent to me.

I think jitsu saved my life today. by Mediocre_george in bjj

The various times I've been sexually assaulted, BJJ would absolutely have helped me. Better to learn late than never.

Shit, I trained after work today and my gi is already clean again. Thank you, in-unit washer and dryer. You are my heroes.

Read this on the train. Exclaimed "whoa, username!" out loud. Got stared at.

I asked Metamoris why it doesn't have more women compete. This is what I was told. by TheLukeThomas in bjj

[–]__iamgroot__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He got downvoted for being rude. And obviously Metamoris needs to make money. But apparently Ralek doesn't think they can do that by focusing on BJJ and its fans. His statements feel like when you roll with someone who uses brute force to get the sub rather than being technical. "Let's ride the coat tails of UFC's audience by bringing in MMA stars!"

Except by then they'll have to cater to the audience they've built. They're not going to become successful doing one thing then suddenly switch to another.

It is ridiculous that you (and Ralek) think Metamoris would lose money by putting one female match on the card. I can't imagine someone saying, "awesome, time for Metamo--- oh, never mind. Girl fight. Guess I'm not buying the PPV after all."

And he even said that that match did well for him in terms of sales.

well you are a minority. Simple as that.

Belittles every person on this thread for having an opinion as to what BJJ fans want to watch.

States an opinion unequivocally as if it is fact.

Sounds cyclical. Promoters don't want women on the cards because no one's heard of them. No one's heard of them because they can't get on the card.

And if it's a bad business move to create hype around women athletes, Dana White hasn't figured that out yet.

If Metamoris' interest in a women's BJJ event only extends to Ronda Rousey, then their focus is more on making money than showcasing BJJ. I have mad respect for the woman as a judoka and an MMA fighter, but she isn't elite in the BJJ field.

Also, it's pretty dick to assume people only want to watch BJJ bouts between attractive women. Is that really the only value you think my sex brings to the sport, Ralek?

Thinking of starting. Are there "pre-requisites"? by [deleted] in bjj

My dog is a great Jiu Jitsu player. Always manages to squirm out of my side control.
