"BJJ is like video games, the more you play the better you get, some are better than others but it's just because they have more time to do it, not everyone has all day to play video games"

Another gem

"BJJ is a hobby, even for those who train all day and are considered professional, it's still a hobby"

So very true. Nobody gives a shit that your good at some obscure sport but those who practice it sure the hell do.

Very true statements on both accounts. At least he's realistic about what he's doing.

Not too shabby for someone with a GED... ;P
