Who else here hates Martial Art posers?

Humbleness is one of the personality trays of a good martial artist. If he brags too much, is a red flag. If the case of the Gracies their feeling of proudness for their Style of Brazilian Jujitsu may be perceived as arrogant by some Americans. Remenber, the Gracies are brazilians and as with any foreign culture, they have a different way of cultural expression. That don't necessarily make them posers.I think that the way the Gracies and their followers express their proudness for their style is little bragging and challenging. They thing they can be anybody in the planet. Of course, inside an octagon, playing ground fighting with a referee and no other bad guys attacking, you most be the winner, right?. Now, do that on the streets of the Bronx or Puerto Rico and you are dead. I consider Brazilian Jujitsu more for competition than for self defense. In a real live attack you don't want to be 10 minutes rolling on the floor looking for a submission.If you fall on the ground you most pound and stand up again to flee danger or fight other attackers. That is real life.
