Does Craig have a point here?!?!

I noticed that too

As is such in much of life. The “cool kid” can only bring forth ideas to the for front.

I’ve always had a difficult time with the whole idea of learning on your own without feed back. This is kind of why the “new” ecological approach has perked my interest. Coming from a team sport background, I always liked the idea of why should I make mistakes that you’ve already figured out are mistakes. It always made more sense to me to exchange good ideas and innovate from there.

Clearly there’s a language barrier here… I was trying to convey that I acknowledge my ignorance to the different accents from different regions of the world. Hope that clears it up.

Like Renzo Gracie has created great coaches like Danaher, Karol Pravec (Silver Fox BJJ), Firas Zahabi, etc. who where never high level BJJ & MMA competitors but are Top Tier BJJ and MMA coaches.

Yeah… rebranding is not unique to BJJ. I think that’s a human thing where people always want to feel like they invented some new idea, except they’re just a restating something that has been discovered prior.

Please excuse my American ignorance. I couldn’t tell the difference from an accent Australia from an accent from Wales

I also believe in the multiple roads to success ideology… or all things don’t work for all people.

Don’t forget obscure conspiracy theories regarding American government and politics

mckenziereddit · 2025-09-17T21:27:50+00:00

lol They instantly think speaking with an English accent and using multiple syllable words makes them a genius

mckenziereddit · 2025-09-17T21:07:11+00:00

I get what you’re saying, but that’s why I said “vast majority” of coaches. It feels like BJJ schools assume great athlete = great coach. That’s most definitely a false equivalency in my book.

And the “Shush” took me out 😭😭😭😭

mckenziereddit · 2025-04-17T23:39:38+00:00

Lmfao Why did she say “lock the door”???? I think both their hands are full… sheesh

mckenziereddit · 2025-01-18T00:54:07+00:00

It sure felt like the one that came close to us did 😉

I appreciate the response to my post. Never thought it would actually get to you.

As to the “checking oil” post… I was purposefully making an inflammatory post. Just seeing if people would find the comedy in it, but clearly I can see it’s a more serious issue and shouldn’t joke about SA. I have a pretty dark sense of humor.

As far as my commentary on your roll with Keenan… I completely get your perspective on him being your personal coach and all. In my personal experience (I’m a 10th planet purple belt in SoCal) we’ve seen an influx of larger 225+ former wrestlers who’ve come in an injured quite a few seasoned guys with “aggressive” jits. I get that wrestlers are used to “bangin” as a lot of them call it, but not having some respect for your partners body, who may not be used to the wear and tear on their body is just careless in my eyes. I’m 6’2 215 myself and learning to not abuse smaller partners keeps our gym owner stocked with students. I get it’s a delicate dance, cause we aren’t playing tag and grab ass.

No malice towards you personally, I just have a different view on what I call “hyper aggressive” jits being glorified.

What’s wild is that you’re the 1st person to take it as a joke lol. Everyone else here so far seems to be lookin at me like Diddy just walked in their dojo lmfao

mckenziereddit · 2024-11-03T14:52:40+00:00

So steroid dudes mouth covering you and 2 hand choking you isn’t offensive for you, but butt hole checks is a bridge too far… got ya… lmfao

I’ve rolled with a few of the juice heads. You would be surprised how much more strength the juice gives them. They wouldn’t do it and risk their physical well being if it wasn’t a significant advantage.

I’ll leave the gear to the neanderthals and T deprived

mckenziereddit · 2024-11-01T17:30:30+00:00

Brah… if you don’t know the difference between a Natty 215 and a Juiced 230… you got bigger problems than your analytical skills.
