Babalunatic was good friends with Jason, they trained together. I think after Jason was banned Babalunatic made 1 or 2 more posts and hasnt been back since.

It's too bad because he was a fun member to have, he was actually the one who came up with the avatar betting.

Unfortunatley I'm at work so I can't look up the Kimura site. However for those looking at this thread for the first time you should research the samurai of fuedal Japan. These warriors created the art known as Jujutsu, or Jiu-Jitsu.

Robert_Lake · 09-26-2007

That is true. THe art was developed in Japan. I forget the mans name but he was a Jui Jitsu master traveling from Japan and was in Brazil, not long after the Gracie's immigrated there from Ireland.

Japanese Jui Jitsu, unlike Brazilian jui jitsu has more powerful tosses, like Judo. The Gracie's were all bigger guys and were taught the art by this man (i really wish i could remember his name). The Gracies were very good at Jui Jitsu and started teaching it in Brazil. Helio (Royce's father) was small and sickly and could not participate, but he watched and would do the moves by himself.

Helio was the man who basically created Gracie Jui Jitsu, or as its nknow now, Brazilian Jui Jitsu. Becasue he was so weak he had to do the moves differentlly to make up for it. When Helio had to teach the class one day becasue his one brother was injured and the other sick, the were surprised to see little Helio at 135lbs take down a man in the class twice his size with little to no effort. His brothers thought, if Helio can take him down like that, than surely we could take down someone that much bigger than us. It worked and BJJ was formed.

I may have jsut repeated my first post from this thread jsut now, but whatever, im too lazy to go and look right now, lol.

why was jason banned if its cool to ask lol.. wasnt he like a moderator or smoderator??

way26 · 09-27-2007

if memory serves, i think i logged in one day and every post and every thread on this website was deleted. i would assume something lead up to that but i dunno, i just work here.

PS: Listen close, this is the sound of a thread being derailed... hehe

Robert_Lake · 09-28-2007

HAHA, deffinetly has been derailed.

Here is the story of Jason getting banned.

Once upon a time, on a website in cyberspace, there was a moderator named Jason. A good moderator Jason kept the site up to date with most of the latest MMA news and helped with the fight bookies. All was well on MMAforums.net until a member named Grawl made an ignorant post where he said, and i quote, " everything that isn't American is better." Naturall some member were offended by this, including Jason who happened to be an American. I told Grawl that was a stupid thing to say, considering it's not true, and a number of other members told him off for it. It was not something that deserved a card but it was ignorant nonetheless.

There was a new member at that time who was also friends with Jason. Not Babalunatic, who replied to Grawls comments by verbally bashing him and swearing at him, which is against the rules. I gave the guy a red card and deleted the post. Jason freaked out because of this and said i was injust for deleteing his friends post and giving him a card, and Grawl has nothing happen to him when he says something totally fucked up about an entire country.

Then Jason made a huge post basically bashing everything about the site from me, to all the Canadian loving bulshit that goes on at this site (whatever that means) and that he was never coming back.

Sure enough Jason was gone for about 2 weeks and nobody had seen or heard form him. One day i came on the site in the morning and every post from the UFC forum, the Pride Forum, the Professional fighters forum, and the upcoming fights forum were all deleted.

Luckily Tyler has everything backup to the max i guess and was able to recover everything.

And they all lived happily ever after.

THE END
