Nah, just Okinawan with a mix of European and stuff. Unfortunately I don't know Ryan Higa as he is on a different Island (Hilo) where BJ Penn lives. It's actually my favorite island.

As far as pinning goes, as long as it works. If you can pick up a few submissions to go along with judo or wrestling that would be an excellent combo. I mean, you can learn the submissions off youtube if you have a decent understanding on the ground as well just in case shtf and you need it.

The whole gracie thing back in the day was a bit weird. They lost fights that they didn't really talk about, made up excuses, etc. Today they seem to have calmed down a bit now. They still obviously don't like the story of Kimura, but afaik they don't go around beating the shit out of people anymore lol. I've only met Relson, but if any of his brothers are like him than I'd say they're pretty nice guys now.
