ESPN.com takes pot shot at Jim Hughes for teaching Royce Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA at University of Connecticut (UCONN)
check it out and chime in at http://espn.go.com/extra/mma/blog/_/name/mma
Jim Hughes Comments: “if you do anything well, and have standards you care about, there will always be people who want to rip you a new one and chip away at you. ESPN will have to get in line behind a bunch of other people who like to complain about me.”

I responded on ESPN.com with the following….
Wow, why such a hater Jake? Of all the nonsense that colleges force you to ingest just to get a degree, it’s nice to see a course that translates so well into the real world. Jiu-Jitsu is a metaphor for life. What better place to teach BJJ than to college students getting ready to face the world. Great job Jim and Paul. And Jake, as far as your “cheesehead” concern…..those guys learn mma from youtube links on Sherdog, not from a blackbelt under Royce Gracie.
