And for Reron getting tapped, it never happened. He lost to dean lister on a complicated point system developed by the Gracies. Not a bad system, just a point system that gives a longer time limit or no time limit, depending on how the guys are fighting. That fight was about an hour and 20 minutes. A ver young Reron and very good and strong Dean lister.
Reron and Renor are 2 of the best guys in gi and no gi jui-jitsu. I know both well and have the utmost respect for what they accomplished with there fight team and school.
And for Mark Laimon, he isn't a bad guy, he just has serious issues and beef with Rorian Gracie. And he is a vocal individual. I was there when he and Eathan Millious left torrance and were training at boxing works. Both guys were very let down with what transpired (long story)... That experience drove Mark Laimon to be the best! He got his name and reputation by challenging all Brazilian Brown belts week after week. He would challenge all and destroy all. Because back then there was no Brazilian that would promote him. In short he is a good guy, but a kid when it comes to grudges. I am sorry that you got the bad end of something that u didn't do to him.
Now its Jui-Jitsu against everybody. And americans Jui-Jitsu on the higher level will always side up with each other.
Me, i'm easy going and generally never talk about fighting. I got 2 stripes on my Black and i never put them on. Why??? make me tougher. lol Any body who knows, knows 1 strip means 3 years black. Thats it.. I train for fun and i pick and choose who i train with. I cant just walk into a school and say "lets roll" especially when the instructor is a purple or a watered down black. It turns into me teaching which i love to do and thats after i rolled up the class of 30 5 times in a row. lol They want to see if im for real. lol. I cant blame them. How many americans have legit blacks? less than 100??
Its still fun, (except for being on crutches for the last 4 month because of knee surgery) but i make my money shooting content for a couple of companies including PORN.COM
