When I saw ...I couldn't agree more, Georgette. When I saw one of these videos a while back I quickly decided I wasn't interested in mixing my porn and my jiu-jitsu. <br /><br />For me, BJJ satisfies higher level Maslovian needs such as Self-Actualization, Esteem and Love/Belonging. Whereas porn is designed to curtail to the most basic of unsatisfied needs. <br /><br />I don't deny there is probably a niche for this product, but I hope I never have to roll with that demographic. Seems like the same demographic of males who are learning Jiu-Jitsu to become better at rape and/or sex in prison.Asmoxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-40025434462732849072013-03-09T22:00:34.308-06:002013-03-09T22:00:34.308-06:00Calling this soft core porn is an insult to porn! ...Calling this soft core porn is an insult to porn! <br />Real men who train BJJ would need real women as lovers as these twigs would break, and are not appealing!

I had never heard of the Avellan brothers before the TLI scandal. They probably came to the conclusion that they had nothing to offer that could compete with the plethora of normal bjj intructionals already available, and that this is an underexploited niche market. Based on the "girlfight" videos that appear in the recommended column of youtube when I search for competition footage of female bjj stars, there is an audience for it. I wouldn't be surprised if they also market this through non-bjj channels to that target audience.<br /><br />I don't think we should take this too seriously from a bjj-specific point of view. As a reflection of the exploitation of women in general, sure. It's part of a pervasive problem. As is, by the way, the UFC dress code that female fighters can't wear shirts. And the porn industry and myriad other things. There will always be a market for images scantily clad or naked women. <br /><br />It does, however, provide more evidence that TLI fosters an environment detrimental (to say the least) to the character development of young people. If that is the point of your post, then I agree.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-50366828769693012162013-03-09T11:43:26.811-06:002013-03-09T11:43:26.811-06:00arrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!arrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!kcalloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18366973242410273822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-53159972019452902762013-03-09T09:27:12.479-06:002013-03-09T09:27:12.479-06:00A friend gave me a copy of the KTS.

The DVD's are not really that revolutionary and in typical mass marketing style he produces 6 DVD's of material that easily could have been compressed into 2 max! Marketing scheme's galore!

Who rolls with arms that thin? A normal partner (even a featherweight) would eventually snap them like twigs and not intentionally. How will you have any longevity on the mats or be able to go hard with bigger opponents? Form follows function. Gain some muscle!

Surely it's a joke, right? I mean...right?!?! <br /><br />As far as Ronda is concerned, she said in one of her post-match interviews that she was given her sports bra for the Carmouche fight; she didn't get to pick it and try it on herself. Wardrobe department FAIL.

They are way over the line and there is clearly no emphasis on skill in these representations (or even female athleticism more generally with these under-developed bods); agree that these are highly objectified portrayals. And yes, Rhonda is allowed - though I was like, 'Is that gonna stay on' when I saw her Carmouche outfit; tiny tops and shorts are the prerogative of the bona fide and hard working. In such a case, there is opportunity to admire skill and an aspirational female body doing real work. Whereas these vids are TnA with a veneer of 'BJJ' with no such opportunity to admire and respect the skill and effort of players. Obscenely unprofessional and further evidence of the toxic LI culture.Meghttp://www.megjitsu.comnoreply@blogger.com
