Lol.. He just has not been exposed properly to other martial arts and like many people who grow up in 1 style, who are also not really into MMA/don't get it all, they think their style is enough to defend anything and everything. He's a really good dude tho, close friend of mine. He's actually not as nuts as that statement would make him seem haha. Just doesn't know a whole lot about martial arts.
Can throw an amazing left hook to the body though. My ribs can tell you all about that.

I've tried to get him to sign up with me for BJJ and shit back when I wanted to do t but it wasn't his thing. I'm 100% sure that if he merely saw what grapplers can do in person, IE to him, he would automatically be hooked and realize how important it is to be well rounded.
I gotta call that dude, miss him big time. I am desperately seeking a training partner for the end of the year when I try to get myself into the BJJ school here, and he would be the perfect person. I bet he'd be happy to join here as well. His name's Rick. Why I am telling you all this I don't know. lol
