Anthony Bourdain may have chosen to direct some attention away from his separation statement released earlier this week.
Ottavia Bourdain Shares Her Jiu-Jitsu Obsession Amidst Separation Statement
He chose to participate in a reddit AMA (abbreviation for Ask Me Anything). Here’s what he revealed about bjj and to be more accurate the experience of rolling with Joe Rogan:
Bourdain has specific restrictions in mind when it comes to hanging out with Rogan even though he claims he enjoys his company for the most part:
Joe Rogan read Bourdain’s comment and was quick to refute his claims.
Joe answered on the Underground Forum that he had in fact never rolled with Bourdain:
I saw that Bourdain posted that and I have to assume he’s joking around since we’ve never rolled and I haven’t rolled with anyone in over a year. I did his show a few months ago and we talked technique and I showed him the Japanese necktie from the darce set up because I thought it would work for him since he’s got really long arms. I certainly didn’t hurt him nor would I ever if we did roll. I haven’t posted here in forever but I thought this one probably merits my input.
Rogan also highlighted that it was important to roll light and to drill:
Another thing that I think is important to bring up is that rolling light is really important. I know Bourdain was joking around but since the subject has been put out there drilling and rolling light are probably the two most important things develop your overall Jiu Jitsu game.
