That's what I'm saying, bro. You're getting dumb fights with like college kids at bars and stuff. And it's, it's almost not even fair. And then you experience what a real martial artist feels like. And it's like, Oh, Oh no, I'm a child still.
And then I went from white to brown belt and then felt that all over again with Bushesha like day one. But only probably with him. Only with him. Yeah. Don't get me wrong. They also have like, it was like Lucas Leitch, Marcelo Mofra. Like they all had academies that were close. So we would, the whole checkmat circuit would like train with each other. Joao Assis too.
And there was these little fucking blue and purple belts. So Barambola your ass and you couldn't stop it. I didn't even know what a Barambola was. That's when you slap bump and walk away.
But bro, I'll never forget it. It was another, I was partnered up with this blue belt and we're in La Habra, Lucas, Lucas Leitch's Academy. And we were drilling Barambolo and I just does not compute. I couldn't, I couldn't grasp the, the way you invert, the way you roll through and then transition to the back.
And you could tell this kid was frustrated because like I wasn't a very viable drilling partner as a brown belt and he was a blue belt. It's embarrassing. Yeah. Inversion is not meant for our body size.
Yeah. Hey man, they go like this. Yeah, that's right. And they turn. I already knew where you were going because if you get too stubborn, not accepting a pass, you can actually fuck yourself up.
Her jujitsu is certainly not trash. The first time I rolled with her, I thought she was a purple belt because she had the breast cancer awareness. Yeah. And I said, I said, dude, who's that purple belt? Cause she's fucking good. And you just laughed. You go, actually, she's a black belt world champion. Made me feel better about myself. Yeah.
Bro, I tell you, like when he was really bursting onto the scene and he had, it was like him and Adolfo Vieira in the finals every year for like three or four years in a row. And he would be getting ready for that. And he would beat me so fucking bad at practice. I remember I pulled him aside one time.
I'm like, Marcus, seriously, dude, like I know we're homies and we don't, I don't think there's any issues, but are there? Because like that, that was different. He goes, Oh no, no, bro. I pretend you're Adolfo. I pretend it's finals of world. That's how hard I go. I'm getting ready. And I was like, show me on the doll where somebody touched you.
This is what he said to me. He humiliated me, but trying to give me a compliment. I said, well, bro, like I appreciate it, but I just don't feel like a viable training partner sometimes because that felt completely one sided. He goes, oh, no, no, no, bro. You're good for my cardio. So that's my favorite Bruce Asha quote. Oh, no, no, bro. You're good for my cardio.
Oh, okay.
I just don't get it. Well, I mean, that's really the essence of jujitsu is when you know what someone's going to do and you still can't stop it. And it's funny, man. I have, I have new guys come off the street that are like, you know, just naturally tough human beings and they'll be frustrated on night one. They're like, dude, you arm barred me six times.
Like after the first time I knew you were going to do it and I still couldn't stop it. I'm like, bro, if you could come in here and stop my jujitsu after doing it for 21 years, what would be the point of coming in here?
Yeah, bro. You know what's funny? Like my fake black belt. Yeah, I was going to say, I get people that anytime people see us training together on Instagram, I'll get DMs that are like, what's it like to roll with Andy? What's it like to roll with Andy? Like any other fucking person. It's like, people just want to know. And I think people want to know is because you progress.
I mean, what are you, a five or six year black belt? Just under six years. Just under six years. And so to like a lot of jujitsu people, they're like, that's fast, right?
Well, yeah.
That's what I was going to say. Seven times a week. Hours on the mat are what build your jujitsu. Not years based on showing up once or twice a week.
I also think you showed up with, I mean, you've already done a lot of things at a high level. So like you understand what it takes to become successful at things. I do what the coach says and no more. Yeah, but you told me you said, hey, I'm either no send or full send, right? So it's like, okay, this jujitsu thing, this is what I do now.
Mm-hmm.
And we could talk about this for the next two hours because I still don't, even after 21 years, I don't know what the right path is to just... hone the basic jujitsu that works for me? Or do you expand your way of thinking and learn squid guard and learn inverted daily worm guard and all that shit? And it's like, for me as a coach, I think it's more important to have an understanding of it.
