The intent of my post was simple , take every opportunity to train and learn the history of the martial arts . In a time of sport BJJ , a good portion of BJJ Instructors and practitioners have forgotten that it was intended to be a selfdefensefighting art and not just a sport governed by referees . This is evident by all of the high level BJJ Black belts getting destroyed in the UFC . They have not trained to guard against a strike . I was honored to train with Master Pedro and simply wanted to let our fellow BJJ family members know that if given the opportunity to train with him , they should . I also know that in this day it ' s easy to be a social media tough guy . So the mature thing to do would have been to not read the post or simply pass by it , but you took the time out of your day to read the comments and made an effort to be a dick . So thank you for your understanding Mr . Moderator . Happy Thanksgiving .
