Ryron and Rener sit down for a very candid talk in which they explain the fundamental differences between the two. In a few very simple demonstrations, they make it very clear that “street jiu-jitsu” isn’t defined by a set number of techniques, but rather the universal principles of distance management without which one stands little chance of defeating, let alone surviving, the aggressive onslaught of a larger opponent in a real fight.
Joe Rogan Get’s his Black Belt, 10th Planet
Rogan, the veteran UFC commentator since 1997 and one of the most recognized faces of the franchise besides Dana White, has received his black belt from Eddie Bravo – founder of 10th Planet. “… I’ve been training since 96, and I’ve been a brown belt for 7 or 8 years now, so it really feels like a long term accomplishment to me, and I’m really motivated to get even better! It’s a real honor. I even cried a little :)”, Rogan says.
We’ll leave it to the video from 10th Planet:

[bjjad][/bjjad]Looking for all the data you every wanted to experience on the winners, losers, point gainers, guard pullers? One of a kind study that breaks down the science of the competition and examines the elements at play. It’s easy to look at it and come away with one or two key points, like:
– 48% of all matches won by submission, 48% won by points, 3% won by ref decision, 1% in DQ
– Lighter weight divsion matches tend to go to the ground faster than the heavies, with 79% of all matches going to the ground due to one person pull guard.
– 49% of matches those who pulled guard won, in 40% of the matches the person who started on top won the match
It’s an interesting breakdown on the strategies applied and the outcomes on the mat.
