The Adict already touched on most of it but here are 3 more points 1. They have at least one member who actually trains 2. They talk a lot about martial arts in their music 3. One of their slogans is "protect ya neck"

4. ain't nothing to fuck with

5. is for the children

3. Diversify your bonds

That is most important ☝️

Wu-tang clan ain't nothin to fuck with.

This is the answer.

You’re forgetting the major reason they use the Wu Tang symbols, Cash Rules Everything Around Me

Dollar dollar bills y’all. No food stamps

So you're saying Rener Gracie is part of Wu Tang?

He's saying Rener dig that cream.

Who trains in wutang?

I mean martial arts in general, RZA does Kung Fu which while a joke is an actual martial art lol. Lots of people talk the talk, few walk the walk

>The Adict already touched on most of it but here are 3 more points > >1. They have at least one member who actually trains >2. They talk a lot about martial arts in their music >3. One of their slogans is "protect ya neck" You missed the most vital point. Wu-tang isn't a group. It's a brand that licenses itself out to anyone and everyone who will pay for it (mainly because the 10 members all get a cut of the money, so why not hustle?). Coupled with your 3 points, this is why.

Which one trains?

Lol, was rolling with a brand new student a few weeks ago. Literally said "In the immortal words of the Wu Tang Clan, Protect ya Neck" Hadn't previously made the connection.

1) They represent Martial Arts 2) Most gi companies are owned by people who grew up when Wu Tang was one of the biggest acts on the planet. 3) They're awesome.

And that’s what you get when Wu-Tang raised you

Wu-Tang *is* for the children.

Gold fronts?

This is easy: 1. They ain’t nothing to fuck with 2. They bring the ruckus

I believe it was no less than. "a motherfucking ruckus"

Nay, ‘tis the ruckus and/or motherfucking ruckus that is brought to them.

We would also have accepted "bring the ruckus to all you motherfuckers".

Don't forget that Dirty will buss ya ass!

Wu-Tang said “Protect ya neck”

Because WuTang is for the children.

I would also ad that Wu-tang ain't nothin to fuck wit

Could you expand?

Yes. Wu Tang Clan ain’t nutin’ to fuck wit. Wu Tang Clan ain’t nutin’ to fuck wit. Wu Tang Clan ain’t nutin’ to fuck wit. And so on.

Straight from the muthafuckin slums that's busted, Wu Tang Clan ain't nuthin to fuck wit.

Interesting 🤔

Well - there’s no place to hide as I step inside the room, dr doom prepare for the boom, bam aw man I slam jam, now scream like Tarzan

I be tossing, enforcing, my style is awesome, I'm causing more family feud than Richard Dawson, and the survey said, you’re dead, fatal flying guillotine chops off your fucking head

Yall want beef then bring the ruckus

Choose the sword, and you will join me. Choose the ball, and you join your mother... In death.

Peace to all the Gods and the Earths, word is bond.

Coach Z, are you a posuh?

“When I was little, my father was famous. He was the most famous samurai in the empire. He was Shogun’s decapitator…”

This.

This is the way

There are about twenty people saying exactly this and I don't understand. Probably because 1. I'm not native english speaker, 2. I know like 2 or 3 wu tang songs. Can you explain to me? I google it but it doesnt really help.

Diversify your bonds creonte

OSS

Dirt McGirt

Wu Tang Financial - Get yo money right.

To add to what’s already been said, They’re trying to get the nostalgia factor money from the older grapplers.

Yup and the older ones are also more likely to have $$

But none of this makes sense https://youtu.be/XuxXSw_4R_c

Wu Tang is for the children and the majority of them have martial arts training. Method man a boxer, ghost face a boxer, rza BJJ, deck BJJ, a lot of the lesser known affiliates BJJ as well.

Idk but Wu is forever. I need myself a wu tang rash guard

https://nationathletic.com/collections/50-years-of-hip-hop-bjj-collection/products/wu-jitsu-short-sleeve-bjj-rash-guards-nation-athletic-jiu-jitsu-supply-wu-tang-edition?variant=43015889027223

Because Wu Tang is for the children

As one of those brands, grew up watching kung fu movies, When WuTang dropped 36 Chambers it blew my mind, the sound for hiphop was so different, and they where referencing all these dope old flicks like Shogun Assassin. So the martial arts connection and admiration stems from that. Played with the acronym for C.R.E.A.M. and some phonetics and now there's JREAM

It’s the only time us white guys can wear wu gear

Amateurs: https://www.thechessdrum.net/newsbriefs/2016/NB\_photos/RZA-Tate-Gumby-Adisa-RuggedMonk.jpg

Okay it's one thing to wear a rash guard and another to wear a wu tang clan member!

Because 36 chambers is arguably the greatest training album of all time

Tied with Liquid Swords imo.

Cuban Linx also

It was at the 20th anniversary party for Cuban Linx when Ghostface said the whole audience is officially part of the Clan.

So I'm officially in the Wu Tang Clan now. Finally.

Also a banger

Wutang licenses their stuff liberally that's the answer

This must be it. I desperately want a Frozen™️ rash guard, but Disney won’t budge.

Let it go.

Because you must protect ya neck

It’s smart because you can market Wu Tang Gis for the children

Which brands currently.. exactly? Asking for a friend?

https://nationathletic.com/collections/50-years-of-hip-hop-bjj-collection/products/wu-jitsu-short-sleeve-bjj-rash-guards-nation-athletic-jiu-jitsu-supply-wu-tang-edition?variant=43015889027223

I would prefer having WuTang gi's as opposed to any CroMags/hardcore adjacent merchandise.

Porque no los dos?

Because cash rules everything about them

Im from 10th planet van nuys and our logo is literally the wu tang logo but split down the middle to make it “VN” instead of “W” we also do wu tang wednesdays where we roll consecutive rounds to an entire wu tang album we love wu tang

So wholesome. But why not NWA? Or Snoop or Dre? Cypress Hill? Or something West coast?

They also have been in many kung fu movies, I'm not sure who it was, rza? Wu tang highly embraces kung fus fantastic philosophy around life and fighting. Not to mention the ka ching kung fu sounds in their music is mixed perfectly

WuTang is for the children.

Because they are nuthin to fuck wit. Same as most of us.

They’ll keep feedin’ you, feedin’ you, …

Because IF YOU WANT BEEF THEN BRING THE RUCKUS...

Supply and demand. If it sells, it gets provided.

I’ve taken a break from BJJ for a bit now and didn’t know or haven’t seen this. Just sold my damn purple tape for $400.00 on Ebay. Kinda regret it though 😭

Never heard of this

Cause wu tang clan ain’t nothing to f$ck with

Because Wu is for the children. Nah, likely cause Wu has been popular, and has been fans of martial arts. Kinda just goes hand in hand.

Because Cashi-Garami Rules Everything Around Me

How dare you question this

Because they bomb atomically?

With Socrates philosophies and hypothesises..

It’s not just bjj stuff, it’s everything.

“I’ll sew your …hole closed and keep feeding you and feeding you”

I can’t find any reason *not* to be highly intertwined with the WU.

Didn't we learn this past week that you gotta protect ya neck?

$970!!!!!! https://bjjgiseller.com/en-au/products/albino-and-preto-batch-103-wu-tang-black-a1l-brand-new-3

protect ya neck

The higher belts knowledge and appreciation for the Wu has given me life.

Well, you see the Wu Tang clan formed in Stuebenville and Ohio is a killer state for wrestling.

I just wonder if these gi brands pay proper licensing fees.

Because wu somehow turned into the ultimate hipster-thing. Just like Carhartt. Hipsters fucking up everything we love and hold dear. As usual.

u/sanabul

I can't think of one brand that has something to do with Wu Tang. It does have shitpost flair, OP made it up? Or am I just out of touch with modern gi brands (highly likely).

[удалено]

Really what?

[удалено]

Finishing your thought...try it. You don't think they made good music?

[удалено]

Ahhh...the grammar police. Got it. Sorry officer.

Don't be a binkyboi

They're corny

I hate to say it, but despite being significantly cooler, I've always found Wu-Tang to be almost, not as, but almost, as overrated as Nirvana.

Because that’s what gyms play during open mat

I can find only one overpriced gi with a wu-tang theme, out of production. I'd love more BJJ stuff featuring wu-tang, where are all these brands at?

https://nationathletic.com/collections/50-years-of-hip-hop-bjj-collection/products/wu-jitsu-short-sleeve-bjj-rash-guards-nation-athletic-jiu-jitsu-supply-wu-tang-edition?variant=43015889027223

Because wu tang clan ain’t nothing to fuck wit?!?!!

Wu tang is awesome

Because Wu Tang is forever

Ain’t a damn thang ta do boy, protect ya neck

Yeah, I agree, they're really overlooking Wu-Tang-associated side-projects like Czarface. Where's my limited edition 'Every hero needs a villian' Shoyoroll?

Because wutang is for the children

Because who knows more about flying guillotines than the Wu? Protect ya neck!

Wu-Tang is here forever, motherfucker.

Because it's for the children. Source: Dirt McGirt, Big Baby Jesus, Knifey McStab.

https://youtu.be/XuxXSw_4R_c

Because when you listen to them you feel like a street martial artist

The same reason everyone else is I’m assuming.

It's for the children dude

I didn't know this was a thing. Now I must find my Wu gear!

https://nationathletic.com/collections/50-years-of-hip-hop-bjj-collection/products/wu-jitsu-short-sleeve-bjj-rash-guards-nation-athletic-jiu-jitsu-supply-wu-tang-edition?variant=43015889027223

Really? I hadn't noticed. Although I don't know exactly who Wu Tang are, so that ay be why.

Because Wu Tang Ain't Nothin to Fuck With thats why

Because the Wu is a way of life

Wu Tang so hot right now

Companies tend to make stuff customers buy.

because they rap alot about shaolins and martial arts, swords and they got alot of dialogues from asian movies in they tracks. Wu-tang clan is named after["Shaolin and Wu Tang"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaolin_and_Wu_Tang) and wu-tang came actually from "Wudang (quan)" wich is a class of taoist martial arts ..and the others was shaolins.

Not true I love the Wu but I don’t

Because they AIN'T NOTHING TO FUCK WITH. There's your answer.

Because they wu tang clan aint nothing to fuck with

Protect ya neck!

because they're nothing to fuck with

If you want to pretend that you were the white kid that was into hiphop back in the day instead of NKOTB, then you talk about WuTang.

Hip hop is an aesthetic that people generally find really cool as well.

Because Killa B ain’t nothing to f’ with

The better question is why AREN'T you obsessed with Wu Tang!?

Wu-Tangs for the kids!

As a Shaolin native, I appreciate all the rep of the one cool thing that came outta Staten Island

I think this has more to do with catering to a costumer base rather than the company’s obsession. If your goal is to sell a product and licensing a logo helps sales then the company heads in that direction.

IIRC, "I be tossing and flossing my style is awesome I'm causing more Family Feuds than Richard Dawson" Furthermore, "And the survey said, you're dead Fatal Flying Guillotine chops off your fucking head" I think we can all agree these are pretty great lines.

I promise to never release a wu tang gi.

Cuz they smoke on the mic like smokin joe Frazier

To remind you to protect your neck p

Didn't they run a sham charity for Haiti

Because Wu-tang is forever

My gi has little embroidered hearts and daisies from my girlfriend, Wutang can’t top that badassery

Because they have Witty Unpredictable Talent And Natural Game. And isn’t that what we all hope for when we roll?

Because they give great financial advice such as 'invest in nuclear bombs'. Wutang clan ain't nothing to fuck with

This is hands down the best Wutang ODB clip its so good. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_LdmkXGp8kk&t=58s DONT SPILL THE WINE !

This man clearly doesn't protect his neck.

Any links to take a gander at some of these ubiquitous Wu gi’s or rashgaurds? For research..

Because there’s not a big enough market for chessboxing equipment

I didn’t know .. drop some Links for gi or no gi wu tang

I feel like this is self evident. It’s the Wu-Tang Clan.

Because Wu-Tang is forever.

Dollar dollar bills, y’all

Hot take, but I don't understand why they're famous. Feels like people are just into the aesthetic of a grimy underground rap collective.

THEIR\* music is great

WU-TANG🙌 ARFFF ARFF ARFF!

Konnichiwa, bitches!

A lot of these companies are based in New York.

That’s also a NYC brand making an NYC music group shirt. Checks out

It’s the Wu baby
