    I’m failing to understand why it’s “cringe”.

    Having undergone any sort of training is useful, especially, I’d imagine, if you’re a celebrity. Jason Momoa knowing some Jiu Jitsu, whether he’s sparring or not, gives himself another layer of security, if he’s paid attention and attends class diligently.

    Knowledge in basic boxing fundamentals, distance management, and wrestling and grappling techniques are very useful in altercations. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is just one branch of grappling.

    None of that is “cringe”.

    Have you ever had to defend yourself in a hand-to-hand fight? Training is important and can potentially save your life.

    That’s not a “cringe” thing to say either, it’s a fact.

      I’m sure your dad could beat up my dad, too. And if you think the F40 is a cooler car than the Countach, that’s also fine. And your Sega Genesis has more Blast Processing than my SNES.

      Just, whatever. All the cliché nonsense you want, I’ll just agree with it, because I’m tired of the conversation. You’re stuck in 1989 and I’m not. We’ll just agree on that.

          I think that much should be obvious.

          But seriously, I shouldn’t have gone off on you. I apologize for being so snarky. The thing is, I would never go and tell anyone “oooh, martial arts = cringe” inside of a martial arts community. I just think it’s wack to talk about celebrities beating people up, with their mad MMA skillz. At the very least, the person I replied to was taking the meme way more seriously than any meme really deserves. In fact, there’s a whole bunch of way-too-super-serious discussion, under this meme.

          That’s all I’m saying, really.

        No, we won’t. What the fuck are you talking about? I’m talking about training, and that it’s good for people. What does that have to do with the 80’s?

        You sound angry, unstable, and haven’t gotten over what happened to you in the 80’s.
