Joe had too much knowledge for Kevin
Gracie''s family gym is in my neighborhood! I go there. If anyone wants to know more
Brazil has the largest immigration of Japan outside Japan, thats why. Fun fact, I grew up in the 90s in Rio and when I saw Joe saying they are killers. lol Well, Rio was a UFC on the streets in night clubs, at the beach.. Was everywhere! Not going to give names, but when I was 21, If I saw this Gracie at a nightclub, I would look away, walk away etc.. Who invented UFC was the Gracies and also it used to happen mostly at the beach where they would test Jiu Jitsu against Capoeira, Judo, Karate etc.. No rules, all out fight! This got so bad, that if went out at night, after some beers the fight was everywhere!! crazy!
Joe Rogan is either lying or has never heard of Tsunetane Oda, the legendary Judoka who asked the founder of Judo, Jigoro Kano, if he could further develop ne-waza (ground techniques). He believed that the Kodokan focused too much on throws and stand-up, and Kano eventually allowed him to work on the ground techniques. So Oda worked with Hajime Isogai, another skilled Judoka, to perfect what we now call "the ground game". We don't know who exactly invented the guards that now exist in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (closed guard, side control, half guard, "De la Riva", etc.), but almost all of them come from this original development of ground techniques in JUDO. Arm bars, Kimuras, Americanas, Guillotines, Gi chokes, Rear naked choke, triangle choke, north south position, full guard…these are all things invented by Judo, with the original goal of using less strength and better technique to defeat a larger and stronger opponent. Of course, this came with using their own strength against them. The Gracie family was confused because the Judoka called "Count Maeda", whose real name was Mitsuyo Maeda, was in Brazil to make money in prize fighting. The Kodokan did not allow their Judokas to compete for money in prizefighting, especially not if it was staged. This is why Maeda did not call his martial art "Judo". If he were to have told the Gracies that they were learning official Kodokan Judo, he would have had to have taught them Jigoro Kano's style of standing, throwing techniques, and he would not have been allowed to give the Gracies black belts for only perfecting ground techniques. Since he could not call it Judo, he called it that other term that everybody in the Western world thought Judo was: "Jiu Jitsu? JuJutsu? One of those martial arts from Japan!" People outside of Japan back then didn't know the difference between ancient Japanese Jiu Jitsu and Judo. Plus, the Gracie family wanted their own credit for supposedly creating something out of nothing (when all they really did was copy most of what Tsunetane Oda and Hajime Isogai perfected and refocus Jigoro Kano's entire philosophy but strictly for the ground). So they slapped the label "Jiu Jitsu" onto what they turned around and taught in the "Gracie Jiu Jitsu" Academy. In hip hop culture, we would see this as a form of "biting" a work from another rapper. If you want an example of this, look up how many of Biggie Small's lyrics were stolen and repurposed by Jay-Z to make money. The Gracie family is Jay-Z, and Judo is Biggie Smalls (mic drop).
😂😂😂 Joe almost said Hitler in the middle of all them Gracie's 😂😂😂
