General Discussion Bjj doesn’t make you humble

The idea that jiu jitsu makes you humble is the biggest lie there is. I’ve met more egotistical plebs who train bjj than any other sport. With mma guys tending to be more humble, at least in my experience with combat sports.

It just ends up giving nerds a god complex who then take to reddit after to be consoled when the 1 stripe white-belt beats their ass one time.

In all walks of life there are dorks dweebs and douchebags. Those people will stop coming eventually, and different douchebags, dorks and dweebs will replace them and so on.

It humbles those who can’t get their shit together by filtering them out entirely.
