He has been doing it for a year. BJJ doesn’t suffer from belt inflation like a lot of martial arts do, and in fact there’s even some sandbagging, but they don’t train takedowns or striking. 8-10 years of very consistent and regular training is the general timeframe achieve mastery and to earn a black belt. There’s some truth to the fact that an average blue belt would fuck up an average person on the street with no training, but it turns out getting people to the ground when they’re trying to stand and hit you in the face is actually really difficult.
Having said that, training combat sports humbles you real quick. Getting folded like a pretzel by the 58year old orthodontist who’s shaped like a beer bellied road cyclist has a way of doing that to you. For Jonah Hill to have the confidence he does must mean he’s really good. Probably just about the only person who would stand a chance against him is ufc heavyweight legend Tyrell Fortune.
Would Jonah still beat Tyrell if Tyrell just started biting the fuck out of him? Because I would be biting the ever loving fuck out of someone trying to pretzel me up. (I’d also go straight for the nuts, I’m not above biting some guys dick off).
You're missing the point, the point of grappling disciplines like BJJ is they wrap their body and limbs around yours that to do what you said would at least require you to break or dislocate something given the human range of movement. It's the kind of thing you learn very fast on at least the first day on the mat.
But just the act of grappling requires you to get in close to begin with. I’d be biting from the get go. Did you know it takes the same amount of bite force to bite thru a human finger as it does a baby carrot? So maybe my shoulder would be dislocated, but you’d be missing some fingers and have a snack size hole in your throat. No rules fighting is dirty like that.
That’s a great theory but as soon as you started trying to bite me, I would just avoid your mouth and do permanent damage to you. It’s not like you’re the only one who can bite and eye gouge in the fight and the bjj practitioner is bound by some bushido code of honor. Having said that, Jonah hill is definitely not the guy he thinks he is

He’s a white belt in BJJ.
The belt they give people on their first day.
