Can a BJJ blue belt actually win a street fight, and could you beat up Jonah Hill?Jonah Hill’s viral jiu-jitsu rant opens a much bigger question: how well does modern day BJJ really prepare you for…

Could your average blue belt beat 99.999% of people in a real street fight like they act like they could? Do they have the skill from their jujitsu training, from their jujitsu competition to that would actually translate into a fight if they've never been in a real fight before? Well, it's really tough to know, but I think coming at it from the right angle is going to be important.
And so we will be sure to start with whether or not Jonah Hill could beat you up.
After we go to there, I will tell you guys about a story when I got into a real fight and I had to use a Bruce Lee technique to win that fight because that was the only option.
And then from there, we're going to look at how you could avoid fights, the difference between self-defense and actual fights, and how you should look at fighting as someone who is a grappler, somebody who is actually starting to get good at jujitsu.
Is the Spider-Man quote, with great power comes great responsibility? Is it that real? And like I said, the only place you could start an episode like this is with a clip of Jonah Hill talking about jujitsu.
I've only seen the 10 second version of this, but we found a little bit longer of a version and we're going to start it out listening to it together.
