Archetypes in BJJ

Guys, I always thought that eventually someone will put together something like this.

Check it out here (very funny): http://www.kampfkunst-board.info/forum/f24/bjj-stereotypen-32554/

In fact I am pretty sure it covers all of us at least a little bit. For me, I feel sometimes like the "this is my first lesson guy" because I hate to answer the question "how long have you been doing BJJ".

When I started doing BJJ it was especially not great. I had two years of Judo experience already and so when I said I was new to BJJ and then submitted the guy with an arm-triangle or something, it was kind of like "by the way, I've done judo". But its not like you have to disclose your martial arts background to every partner who asks you just before a sparring match whether you have done BJJ before.

By the way, check this link out for some comedy :)

BJJ Comedy :)

Hey everyone! Found this comic strip on the internet and it just cracked me up:)

I actually had a similar situation when I first came to bjj after having done a year of judo. I was already ok in newaza and did some sambo-like grappling as well, so when I came to spar with some of the bjj guys, they were asking "is this your first time doing bjj" and I was answering "well, yes". After the fight when I submitted some of these white belts they realized that I was not really the beginner they thought they would be facing. This is great and I am sure this happens all the time in training when judo/sambo or wrestling guys come to bjj or vice versa.

Guys, we definitely need to find and make more of these comic strips from experience. There must be plenty more.
