Introduction
============

I travel a lot…. well, not as much as I used to, but more than I care to 

Soooo, I get to hear a little bit of everything and I also get asked a lot of questions.

I always try to tell the truth but sometimes, I just nod and smile or shrug my shoulders because I’m not being asked a question so that I can answer truthfully, I’m being asked so that someone can make their argument more solid with my opinion, so sometimes, I just try to stay neutral and undertand that I get paid to answer questions and solve problems. And I just shut up.

One point of contention that I get all the tiem from teh judo community is that  “BJJ Is Nothing More Than Judo Newaza”.

Well……..Here’s what I would suggest.

I would suggest that you ask a high level BJJ player and a high level Judo player and ask them that and see what they say.

Personally, I don’t think its something to argue about. I think that it’s something to learn from.

So that’s what I did.

I got with one of the best Newaza practitioners in the World, Jimmy Pedro and he and I put together a Newaza Coaching Program which  covers the similarities and differences of judo’s newaza and Brazilian Jiujitsu.

Hundreds of people have been  helped through this program and I think you can be too >>> http://www.NewazaMadeEasy.com <<<

I hope today’s post was helpful.

I think you got my drift. The key is to NEVER argue about something that you KNOW about. 

I don’t argue anymore. If I know I’m right, I just say, “okay” and keep it movin’

Take care and have a great day.
