Title: Eddie Bravo always stoned
Post by: Thin Lizzy on January 05, 2007, 09:48:30 PM
I was reading his Mastering the Rubber Guard book. He states that he almost always gets stoned before he teaches and rolls.

I've done it a few times, but weed just doesn't agree with me anymore.

Bj Penn would smoke back in his prime BJJ days, Bravo is a tool.

I smoke if im going to go roll and train on the mat..it relaxes me and makes me think a little better because it slows things down for me, at least the way i see things. Armbars and triangles and so forth.. But if im hitting bags, sparring or working mat and stand-up forget that shit.... I feel like i should just die if i do that. Makes me all lazy slow nad then when it picks up cause ive been hit a few times cotton mouth kicks in and trainging goes to shit.. Only done this a few times because of this exact reason.

the other half of the story is pot relaxes your muscles which is what you need to do to properly generate power ... i like to get high before i hit stuff too ;D

See I can smoke and do ground work but hitting the gym, or hitting the bag (punching) no pun intended just kills me... Cant do it it kills my cardio stand up wise but on the ground im fine five minutes into the rolling.. Guess it all goes by person to person case...

I found that, at rest, weed used to raise my heartrate by about 10%
