Momoa does Brazilian jiu-jitsu though.

    He's a white belt, so still very much at the beginner phase. He'll also almost definitely be one of those celebs that only does privates and rarely spars.

    He'll almost definitely have strength and size at his disposal, but in terms of fighting, we've already kinda established what would happen at UFC 1. A skilled bodyguard would (I really hope) have solid grappling knowledge, alongside striking.

    "Yeah, and I heard the sensei at his dojo was the cousin of one of Bruce Lee's students. And, like, umm, this one time, this other sensei that came and did a guest leseson with them? He totally said that he knew the pressure chakra chi points that can superkill someone, with only one finger. But he said that we weren't wise enough for him to teach us that, yet."

    I hasten to add that this is sarcasm, just in case people aren't paying attention. And everyone, please don't worship martial arts. It's just so far beyond cringe.

    Any type of "ooo, buT he D03s BJJ, tho" comment counts. Martial arts, in general = cringe throwback 1980s nonsense. If you're still talking about that shit, in any context outside of the actual sport, inside an octagon, you are just making everyone fucking cringe. Fact.

    I'm sure your dad could beat up my dad, too. And if you think the F40 is a cooler car than the Countach, that's also fine. And your Sega Genesis has more Blast Processing than my SNES.

    Just, whatever. All the cliché nonsense you want, I'll just agree with it, because I'm tired of the conversation. You're stuck in 1989 and I'm not. We'll just agree on that.

    I think that much should be obvious.

    But seriously, I shouldn't have gone off on you. I apologize for being so snarky. The thing is, I would never go and tell anyone "oooh, martial arts = cringe" inside of a martial arts community. I just think it's wack to talk about celebrities beating people up, with their mad MMA skillz. At the very least, the person I replied to was taking the meme way more seriously than any meme really deserves. In fact, there's a whole bunch of way-too-super-serious discussion, under this meme.

    That's all I'm saying, really.
