Brutality

​This is where I lose people, and probably a large part of my personality. There’s not a lot of soft edges to what I do or who I am. The art I do is rough, the way I voice my opinion is rough, my Jiu Jitsu is rough. Brutality is a big part of effective Jiu Jitsu. I don’t know how fighting and violence became disconnected, but it doesn’t make a lot of sense. I never intend to injure people, but hurting people is Jiu Jitsu, there’d be no reason to tap otherwise. Submissions are designed to hurt people, that is entirely the point. If you want to do Jiu Jitsu, you’re going to inflict pain, and be brutal. It does not work another way.
