Cool documentary with commentary from many top instructors and practitioners:
So everyone that takes BJJ is weak and small. Got it. lol. No but serious. It was a good video. I'm always amazed at how martial art embraces violence and it ends up having the really good people who do martial arts for reasons other than violence.If you want to understand the mindset of the serious jiu-jitsu practitioner, this video covers it pretty well.
I don't tape my fingers, but I also don't fight too hard to hang onto gi grips. I think that's where most of the damage to fingers comes in. I prefer no-gi grips unless I'm doing a technique (like a collar choke) that specifically depends on the gi.Tony, do you usually tape up your fingers? And how did that break heal up?
