Hates me?

If people cared that much about a poster on the internet that says more about them than it does about me.

I never give log ons here a second thought, most of them dont even exist as real people FFS.

If you only knew, my friend. BJJ is one of the few Martial Arts where your rank is based solely on performance. How you handle yourself on
the mat with a variety of opponents. No matter how knowledgeable you are or how well you can do a move and technique, in the end none of that matters unless you can apply it during "free training" sessions. None of this "Kata" or being there long enough that they just give it to you so you don't quit and stop paying dues. And even if you beat others on the mat that still doesn't guarantee promotion. There was a guy who was a Blue Belt who could crush a lot of the higher belts but still wasn't promoted. Rickson recognized that his much greater size and strength advantage is what made him victorious and not his skill and knowledge in Jiu-Jitsu and therefore he did not merit a promotion.

I remember Rickson once telling me that it's the strong guys that are the hardest to teach and the slowest to learn because they depend so much on strength.

Back in the day, I was training in Jiu-Jitsu six days a week. Classes, private lessons, and meeting with friends on Sunday for "garage training." It took me 5 years to go from Blue Belt to Purple Belt.

Hey Guys,
  I thought I should try to educate myself a bit with some of the more common GetBig topics so I watched a bit of a video
with some guy named Rich Piana and another fellow named Viking whose face is quite filled with tattoos. 
  Are these guys heroes on GetBig?
  I don't like to judge anybody but they are a little hard to watch, even for me.
  His girlfriend and wonderful implants but for me, the idea of having to wear eye liner to hit that, just makes me
want to walk away.
  Again, I am not being judgmental, I just didn't know if you guys support Rich Piana the way you do some other folks.
Harley

One thing about GetBig that I like is that we sniff out the poseurs, liars and phonies and see right through guys like Piana, Dana Lynn Bailey and the rest. Piana and DLB may be nice people irl but one is just a mass of synthol and PMMA and the other is just an unrepentant liar about her natural status.

hey harley i do believe rickson was offered more than a million  to fight sakuraba-  at that time  pride was huge in japan and sakuraba


ive read he was offered 5 million to fight sakuraba-  that would have been the biggest fight of all time  pretty sure would have sold

90k tickets and been a huge ratings draw on tv.

[Army of One]

Harley is like the ultimate Getbigger, has every base covered.Would make a great story for an eighties-esque tv show, something like Magnum.

Dear Pellius,
  I guess Be There believes there is some way to "fix" how many black belts appear in a class to train.  I just noted the amount as here in America it is difficult to accumulate so many
high level BJJ Black Belts but that is not the fault of Americans.  There are far too many reasons for this, most of which would bore too many others.
  I don't think he meant to imply that my promotion was "fixed."
  You, however, have quite the distinction as real, true life Rickson student (in some way, aren't we all Rickson's students?) who received one of the most legitimate promotions I
could only dream of.  You have much of which to be proud.
  I wasn't terribly smitten by Rickson when we met so it is a bit easier for me to accept the criticisms launched against him in terms of not fighting Sakuraba.  However, Pride was notorious
for faking the amounts paid to fighters.  Actually, they very often paid cash, seriously.  While in Brasil, I also trained with Murilo Bustamante at Brazilian Top Team and he can tell you
quite the stories of Pride.

  And yes, before I get hit with the audits from others, I have pictures of me actually training with Murilo, privately, at
BTT in Rio.  Once I figure this whole downsizing thing, I will post better pictures.

I think you've proven enough to satisfy people that you aren't a bullshitter.

[Las Vegas]

 The Vette or the Bentley?

Both.  (didn't see this before, Harley.  It was in another quote.)

[pellius]

And the gh15's

Touche. I'll never live that down.

[Ronnie Rep]

Harley, you are a great addition to Getbig.

[astro]

Harley, you are a great addition to Getbig.

absolutely! this board desperately needed something worth reading other than the usual b.s on here lately

[10pints]

Harley, you are doing great things by posting quality material here. But beware....soon you will be running 100 gimmicks and arguing over the Adonis principles.

I could definitely see him starring in a show like Miami Vice

Some sound advice: Get a traditional short haircut, throw some gel in it, and buy yourself some power ties. You'll thank me later.
