Is jiu-jitsu a vital component of modern surfing?
Do you do jiu-jitsu? Make jiu-jitsu? Rolling? Is that what jiu-jitsu artists call it when they train? Like, do you call your jiu-jitsu artist buddy and say, “Hey bro, wanna do some rolling with me?” Am I getting the verbiage right?
Whatever the case, jiu-jitsu has become such a major component of surfing in the past few years. Even Kelly Slater goes into the dojo to do some rolling though King Dojo Joel Tudor completely disagrees with Slater’s belt color. And lashes out to let the world know.
Real quick, is the place where you do jiu-jitsu rolling called a dojo? A temple? A set? Is the costume called a costume? A kit? Gi? Ghee?
Oh I’m sorry that I keep getting caught up in the morphology. Forgive!
What I’m trying to get at is the close relationship between jiu-jitsu and surfing is so close that Mercedes-Benz can make a gorgeous commercial utilizing both, plus the new German flag and Nazaré and nobody blinks an eye.
It makes perfect sense to roll around on the floor, getting bent and contorted etc. for those surfing big waves. It must give incredible advantage whilst being near-drowned. But what about surfing small-ish waves? Does jiu-jitsu provide great tools for surfing them too? Should jiu-jitsu be as much a part of my routine as drinking booze and making fun of other surfers?
Help!
Its a good way for blokes to get sweaty and close, real close; i normally just knock back frothies
The Outsider makes me love surfing.
THIS makes me hate surfing.
If they’re saying that surfing big waves, training jiu jitsu, and looking good in front of a steamy bathroom mirror equates to driving a Benz, then by their math I should be driving a beat up ’98 Honda Accord… Wait, fuck, how’d they know?
way to leave out wim hoff method and whatever trendy bullshit supplement or diet is going on now…
Not as good as the last Porsche ad I saw.
no more abrupt collision of machismo attitude and gayness in modern “sport”. and i think its “i rolled with Tommy and ended up in full mount”

Maybe just this get up for small wave surfing and a bit of a “roll’! Best done on the piss
Throw in a devout practicing Jew ShihTzu to your daily routine and you should be just fine Chas.

This looks so much easier than jiu-jitsu. Thanks!
You’re most welcome
You could make a t-shirt too so no one questions your cred.
Something like:
Beware:
I Live for Training Jew ShihTzu

Jiu jitsu is more for small wave surfing. In big waves everyone already knows you’re a stud. At your crowded beach break you talk loudly about jiu jitsu so everyone knows who the alpha is.
We call training jiu jitsu – “training”. We call sparring – “rolling”. We call the dojo – “the gym”. We call the pajamas – “a gi”.
And you just solved all my problems. Thanks to you too!
I call it homoerotic
Yeah, but everyone already knows that.
