In this video, we see a BJJ brown belt from Korea challenging Case Bradford, a high school Wrestler in the park next to the beach in Santa Monica.
The brown belt was confident that he could submit him in under 2 minutes.
Case Bradford, the wrestler in the video, explained the situation:
“Earlier this summer i was challenged on Santa Monica beach to roll jiu jitsu by a random man visiting Los Angeles from South Korea, claiming to be a brown belt.
He offered me a $20 prize if i could survive a 2 minute roll without being choked or submitted. not only did i survive, but i turned the tables and choked him out seconds before the 2 minute mark. i trained up to a blue belt level in Gracie Jiu Jitsu 7 years ago and have not rolled since. Really fun rolling again! Love jiu jitsu i also wrestled in high school i know he did not tap to the choke, my figure four body lock must have been really tight. many viewers are commenting on his belt status. i have rolled against Purple and Brown belts before and never had any chance of winning… Seems like there are many variables that go into belt status worldwide. – Gi vs No-Gi – Competition vs Casual – Size and Athleticism play a role as well
Wrestlers are universally known as being some of the most hardcore athletes on earth. It takes a huge amount of hard work and perseverance to be successful in wrestling. The difference, between wrestling and BJJ, is that wrestlers work hard to take their opponents down and maintain a top position. This is why explosive power is considered to be an asset in wrestling, much more than in BJJ.”
