[green meanie]

Oh good god. LOL! And here I thought I was gonna be pissed off by this thread. That's was good!

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

Even though I enjoy Brazilian Jiujitsu and grappling I have to admit
that was one hillarious video. I have to show this to my wife.

 

[Eternal Beginner]

LOL!:rofl:

As much as I love BJJ this is EXACTLY the reaction my sister's and other family members have given to the sport.

Well, at least they don't think my training partners are hitting on me anymore. My husband, on the other hand...

True. But Hate speach and such like it is a violation of out terms of agreement. When I changed the title, there was already one and by the time I was complete there were others who were not happy with the title, or the location.

I personally think BJJ and other ground fighting arts are good to learn. They do have the guard and the mount and even north/south, as well as other terms, that can be seen from a different point of view from people who are not into such an art. I by no means am an expert in them, and yet I understand that people do make decision on life and in life based upon this type of perspective. That of ignorance, or not knowing. People make jokes about "Stick" measuring and "corto baston" for FMA all the time. I laugh, at these just as well. And if a thread with these topics had the same title, I would have changed it or added "Humor" to the title as well.

I found it still funny, as it is sad that people would actually decide upon who to date based upon such information. The sadness, in its' obsurbatiy made me want to laugh. Yet, humor is a relative thing, so it may not be as funny, but it is still funny, hence why it was produced as part as a comedy on TV.

I have shown it to most of them and they thought it was hillarious

A sense of humor doesnt cost much

In the US, many people are very sensative to this cultural issue...homosexuality. Our country is in the middle of a culture war on this very subject and both sides are very passionate. I think it's kind of funny, however, I can understand why some people would be upset.

I didn't see it as an indictment on homosexuality. I saw it as the non-martial arts wolrd wondering what would make two grown men (or women) role around on the floor together. What might be offensive is the portrayal of the two homosexual friends.

Honestly, I think that some people can get a *little* too sensitive about this issue, to the point where they start "sexualizing" everything. Most all martial arts require some kind of physical contact - some more than others, but still...it doesn't surprise me that many non-MA folks take all that physical contact the wrong way. I had to grab people while taking TKD (during the self-defense portions of the class), and there wasn't a single hint of anything. But I could see how a casual observer could easily read into something that isn't there.

Methinks some of these non-MA people need to loosen up a LOT. Coming to think of it, so do a lot of people in general. Not all close physical contact between two people of the same gender is "homosexual" behavior...how about those professional wrestlers...sheesh...

I 100% agree.

I thought the clip was hilarious. Don't have time to post about the gender/sexual identity thing in the U.S. right now. But if someone wants I will. I am an out of work sociologist, so I can bore you to death if you like.

I confess that the title of this thread put me off, but the clip itself was funny.
