AJ Agazarm is known for being one of BJJ’s most outspoken characters and is not slow to say what is on his mind. The Florida boy is not only a top level black belt but also one of the greatest when it comes to trash talking as well. Due to this, his words have often been the cause of confrontation down the years. Whether this has been for good or for bad, you can’t deny his impact on the sport. With this in mind, we’ve decided to collect his best quotes for both BJJ and life.
“I find it funny that someone who used to say, “If Sambo were easy it would be called Jiu Jitsu” wins the final fight in his career with Jiu Jitsu, and then retires”
“He may be taller and much heavier, but that doesn’t matter when you know Jiu Jitsu”
“Competition doesn’t build character, it reveals it”
“If you can’t handle the heat Stay out of the kitchen”
“Martial arts has taught me how to deal with bullies and the golden rule is self confidence. If you know the enemy and you know yourself, you need not fear the results of a hundred battles”
“You can do anything you want to do, if you fight hard enough for it”
“Chance made us opponents. Competition made us warriors. Respect made us brothers”
“I have always had a slight feeling of pity for man who has no knowledge of Jiu Jitsu”
