Ok, Bilksta. Yes, Matt Hamill is definitely at a disadvantage against his opponents bcuz he is def. He does great, and is an inspiration to many. But he is not comparable to Jean Jacques. J.J. Machado is PHYSICALLY disabled. Also, this man is the many time WORLD champion of BJJ (10+), and also adcc champion as well. Matt Hamill Has achieved a lot for sure...but he is no Jean Jacques Machado. This man is a hero to all, cousin to the gracie family, 1 of the top 2 best bjj black belts ever!

I just found my favorite BJJ guy. I love Jacare, Marcelo, all of the Gracies, but this guy has clinched it for me. Doing all he does one handed is fucking unreal.

eduardo jamelão que já lutou com ele, disse que é uma das pegadas mais forte do jiu jitsu

What an inspirational story and to think he came out on top with such adversity is quite an amazing story.

It's hard not to get a little emotional when watching this. Jean Jacques Machado is the the definition of determination.

I know Carlos Machado and I've trained with Rigan and the Machado family is one of a kind. I hope to someday train with JJ Machado, that would be an awesome experience. Those who have trained with JJ Machado, I really do envy you guys!

JJ is a great guy. went to a free lesson at his place when I was in the valley. Really cool, so were the guys I rolled with. I trained with a Royce Gracie black belt who took my money for a six month period but basically gave me no respect because I had trained in karate so I stopped going. Guys like Jean Jacques are rare. I suggest anyone who has a chance to train with him do so.
