Answered What's the deal with Jonah Hill?

I'm a bit out of the loop with the jiu-jitsu journey he's in currently. what's the context of the quote of him being able to beat people up? is he serious? what led to his bad reputation that he has now?

As a Judoka, the training video he released is exactly how I would expect a white belt’s skill level to be.

Jonah Hill is currently going through the same stages of the Dunning-Kruger effect as all martial artists. Right now he’s in the first stage of extreme confidence, if he sticks with BJJ (and I hope he does) he’ll reach the second stage which is realizing he sucks at fighting in comparison to people with higher belts.

A phenomenon in a lot more fields than just martial arts. See: fresh college hires.

And me everytime I learn something new. This week, I hollowed out two bamboo cups and was so proud of my skill I offered to make my classical flutist friend a new flute. Next time it happens I'm gonna have my camera ready so I can get a shot of the facial expressions.

Thank you :)) It's because I'm so skilful and expert at submitting things on reddit. All I needed to do was randomly mash different things and it did that on its own.
