some white belt bragged on the BJJ Fanatics fb page about tapping out a purple belt with a choke from the back, going into great detail about the 'micro adjustments' he made to finish it and really relishing how 'reluctant' the purple belt was to tap.

Memes ensued.

Every couple of weeks on Reddit:

"How do I do an armbar without crushing my nuts?"

"Trying to armbar but I keep hitting my junk."

"Is there a way to do an armbar without hitting the, you know?"

In regarding finishing armbars I like to say that sometimes you have to decide if finishing that submission will make you more or less of a man...

Glad I read this thread now. I kept seeing memes too and didn't quite get it. Now they're hilarious.

Whites/blues who post about their jiu jitsu prowess should be openly ridiculed lol. I support this meme.

The longer I'm in the game the more I realize how true the belt level cliches are. White belts typically act like white belts and blue belts act like blue belts and black belt act like bored magicians.

It was mostly hilarious. As far as I can tell he hung in there, stayed in the group and took it like a man. lol

He took his beating in stride .. there was another post of a new white belt asking for advice and he made a hilarious comment about making sure you publicly document any success over upper belts and that the BJJ community will be very supportive.


Good sport

I’m a little late to the party on this one but that says the guy seems to taking it in stride n having some humor with it after getting roasted... even possibly making some money off it.. more power to him

This is actually one of the most spot on things I’ve read in a long time, funny though... you left out your own kind aka Purple belts...?!

I always tell the guys to stop wearing a cup. It impedes your progress

After a few years your nuts develop precognition. They learn to move out of the way. Then it's not a problem

And on the rare occasion you DO get hit in the nuts, you're desensitized to it, so you just keep rolling with no pause...

I agree with not wearing a cup, also there are more then one way to do a really good armbar that doesn’t involve crushing your nuts. If this is happening to you then you should do some research on how to do a better armbar.

It's amazing how annoyed some people get by the memes. I probably get a dozen or more reports in one of my facebook groups a day about it... lol

whether u like him or not, the dude is handling it like an OG. Funny as can be.
Dude picked the high road... And now has ascended to the ranks of uncle Renato...

Now if he is able to meet him and have an interaction this shit will go full circle and will be the best possible joke and boost in his social media ever
