Today, UFC commentator Joe Rogan received his black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from Jean Jacques Machado.

Wonder how Eddie Bravo feels about this.. Joe is obviously stoned without Eddie. Such a slap in his face.

I think he has a black belt from both now doesn't he?

According to my database (wiki)

Martial arts


In 1981, at age fourteen, he became a practitioner of Kenpo Karate before transitioning to Taekwondo.^[4] He eventually gained a 2nd dan black belt.^[5] A four-time state champion in Massachusetts, in 1987 he was the USA Taekwondo U.S. Open Champion.^[6] In 1996, he began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Jean Jacques Machado, eventually earning his brown belt.^[7] In addition, he holds a black belt in 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu under Eddie Bravo.^[8]

So 30 years in to his martial arts campaign he holds at least three more black belts then I do.

“In my 20 years of martial arts experience, I have never seen anyone throw a turning side kick harder than Joe Rogan, and I have never seen anyone execute the crotch ripper as smooth and as devastating as Joe. In my humble opinion, if Joe wasn’t so damn funny, he would have easily been ranked among the elite in the UFC welterweight division. It is an honor to award Joe his black belt in 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu.”

Good for Joe! Whatever you think of his calling of fights or his comedy the dude is a true martial artist, props

Is it because he is younger, bigger, stronger and has more competitive grappling experience or is this just a gut feeling?
