excellant thread going on over at the intheguard:

Most actions of men can be explained by observing a pack of dogs. Not wild dogs, just neighborhood dogs who all scurry under the fence on the same night and set off together to reclaim a glimmer of the glory their species possessed before domestication.
just for the record, I’ve rolled with Roninho. I’m no slouch, but he made me his b!tch, repeatedly and without effort 
Now read the thread really objectively, pay attention to what’s being said, these guys are doing traditional Kung Fu on the ground. Look how they stress position, basics, flow, etc.

I got to watch a BJJ class a while back. I was very suprised to see so many similarities in principles and strategy with my own style (bagua).
Tim Cartmell (Shen Wu) teaches both bagua and bjj…after seeing some techniques explained, I don’t wonder why
Based on the number of people i’ve smacked around up who study BJJ, I can honestly say there are similarities with it and kungfu. But being similar and being a complete art are two completely different things. Where kung fu is a superior, complete art. BJJ is a watered down, incomplete waiste of time. But yeah there are similarities. :rolleyes:

You sir, are a troll.
You have a clever name, however.

Roninho is Tyrone from Paragon in Santa Barbara.If you train with that guy you have to be good.Lucky bastard.
Thelonius Monk is a Jazz musician.Felonius Monk is a goat rapist.
P.S.You are a weak troll, what a disgrace.
When you’r telling one of your little stories, here’s a idea; Have a point, it makes it so much more interesting for the reader.
Vasco,
I don’t want to make it sound like I train with him all the time. he was out in DC for a few weeks, and I trained with him while he was here.
I have NEVER in my entire life seen/felt/met anybody who moves their body so quickly, so accurately. He’s already made a name for himself, I know, but I think he’s going to be one of the greats!
Damn Bro,
I never noticed you were from DC before. Do you know Jose Antonio from Chile? He should be about a high purple or brown bu now.

Nope, can’t say I do know Jose Antonio. Who does he train with?
VASCO DE MAMA’S BOY
Congrat’s you know about a FAMOUS jazz pianist, your powers of deduction are amazing! Would you like to spar sometime? Not only do I rape goats, I am a master of kung fu.( not a grandmaster, yet) What kind of man brings up another man’s lovelife, you need to follow your advice and stay on track! The last time I checked this was a kung fu forum not a sex hotline! hypocrite! when would you want to spar, don’t forget to ask your mommy if it would be ok, and get her written permission! I don’t want to have your mommy pressing charges on me for beating up her precious little boy. I’m so scared! :eek:

I’m actually not even 100 % he’s still training. But he left IU with his blue in 1995, so he’d have to be a purple or brown by now. He was working with some guy out of Bedford, IN.
He popped my BJJ cherry. You know how you always remember your first

Yup!
I was a white rolling with only whites for a very long time and then rolled with a purple one day who I outweighed by about 50 pounds. I thought “hey, I wrestled, I’m bigger. How bad can this be?”
I never knew what hit me

Hey Felonious
Out of genuine curiosity can you play any Thelonius Monk? 'Round Midnight maybe?
cd lee and vasco
no i’m not good at playing the piano, I play the guitar (so does everyone and their mother) I mostly make music on my computer sampling instruments on my computer.
Vasco de gamma-ray, yes my mother was a cheap indian *****, my father a coyote (my mother was real drunk)
The unbeatable Felonious Monk
Hey, just wanted to say I’m wearing a white bad boy t-shirt with a guy doing a mata leao on the back, its pretty cool
I got it from a friend that is a bjjer.
He and his brother found the shirt where they train but coulndt find out who was the owner of the shirt. Since the shirt was ******* huge they gave it to me since they taught it would fit me.
The point is, if some day im walking down the street could i be challenged by a guy that is probably my size claiming i stole his shirt? That would be funny
I’m too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt
I’m too sexy for your mother, too sexy for your mother
So sexy, YEAH
Merry who do you train with in DC :eek:
Tapped Out
I am a Blue Belt under Lloyd Irvin. I train at his school in Camp Springs, Maryland.
I would also like to say that anything I write down on these subjects is NOT necessarily his opinion, but rather belongs to me. I have a very limited perception of anything beyond grappling due to my lack of experience in other areas, and Lloyd has forgotton more than I know about BJJ as it is!
