So I got to meet and push with Origami itto... And surprise he was nice guy.
He even took off his shirt in the Tampa heat and showed off his pierced nipples. Hahahaha
But really, to any dudes that want to hate the guy...it's hard to . Unless he was faking it.

First keep in mind, these types of gatherings are not competition, people do what they feel comfortable, they can hard or soft and generally you get the feeling of someone is beating you or not. Accept and learn ....if they genuinely can beat you, I say.
Jason, you have skill ... you're just looking at the wrong things imo. You went against my student Matt didn't you? He moved you around too pretty handily?
Dude I could fill those gaps your missing in a day. Learn from someone who has fought professionally.
My Sifu said to me, (basically) " absolve yourself of all thoughts of trying to win, simply do what is correct and let the win happen by it self".
This led to an epiphany>>>>>>>>>>
I don't know if you have it on tape ( I hope you recorded us)...me explaining "The way into danger , is the way out" & vice versa.
(It's also NOT just go with the flow )
This concept answers the mystery,
"How do I get my opponent to do what is technically correct and still loose"
(!) Root means nothing if you give me what I want. I wasn't using strength either.
All them dudes that talk about Facia....I go through them butter.
You saw it...I'm not talking smack either.

That's word-for-word what my taiji teacher told me, and what I found myself repeating, paraphrased, to my son when he rolls in BJJ classes: "you're in a school, so the goal is to learn, not to win. The better/more effectively you learn, the more you will (incidentally) win. But your ego is trying to focus on winning and it's obstructing the learning process."
