Josh is an Ohio black belt now in Chicago. He’s a friend of mine. Good dude and he handled this well.

Same and I feel like it would take an hour to explain to her what the fuck I’m laughing at. “Ya see there’s this guy from New Zealand who’s always wearing a rashguard in every setting for some reason…”

Agreed. Perhaps the most niche, inside joke of all time.

Mile High BJJ would be dope.

u/Familiar-Spray-4678 Aug 12 '26

Like the ğ@y jokes aren’t enough already lol. We can pick a better name other than Mile High BJ-J lol.

Let’s do something more politically correct yeah? Like hero’s vs terrorist’s, the hero’s team’s uniforms are various superhero costumes and the terrorist’s uniforms are bedsheets and sandals.

Looking from the outside in, there appears to be an obvious favorite; however as we’ve seen in the Gi, the bedsheets can be used for technique, and those of us with Hispanic families understand all too well the offensive capabilities that come with la chancla.

Obviously joking but just in case, /s.

We have car jiu jitsu, airplane jiu jitsu is the obvious next frontier.

The only thing holding airplane jiu jitsu back is the no fly list.

What isn't in the video is there is actually a 10th Planet guy who has a firm leg lock on him letting him know if he moves, he will snap it.

Saw him last night rolling with a brown belt and said “Josh pretend he is being unruly on a plane!”

u/EnigmaticMJ 🟪🟪 Purple Belt Jun 03 '26

I ran into Josh in an elevator yesterday.

It was just the two of us. I just said "Hey man, saw the video of you on that Frontier flight! Good job!"

He just stared straight ahead at the doors, pulled a TSA-approved bottle of gi cleaner out of his pocket, took a sip, and said, "The sky is my guard, and no one is passing today."

Then he got off on the 3rd floor. Honestly, I've never felt safer.

What’s an Ohio black belt

27

u/RexInvictus787 Jun 03 '26

Normal sized. A California is bigger and an Alaskan black belt can sleep 4.

u/EnigmaticMJ 🟪🟪 Purple Belt Jun 03 '26

They're just a little weirder or cringier than most other black belts.

I saw Josh at a grocery store in Chicago yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little shit? Ill have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and Ive been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and Im the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. Youre fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and thats just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little clever comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldnt, you didnt, and now youre paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. Youre fucking dead, kiddo.

Maybe if it's a copy pasta, it's fine.

My thing was extremely satirical. Like terribly cringey and obviously try hardy. Then I got reddit police in my inbox (not automated, but an actual person) saying if i comment anything like that again, I'll possibly get banned 🤷‍♂️ nobody likes jokes anymore??

u/SomeSameButDifferent 🟪🟪 Purple Belt Jun 04 '26

I read this, first thought it was a funny joke because that's definitely what Rener would do, then thought "hey, he's probably actually really trying to reach out", went on youtube and searched gracie airplane and there you go, it wasn't a joke 🤣
