In this video dug up by the folks at CagePotato.com, the camera crew filming Pride 26 caught Anderson Silva irate after tapping to Daiju Takase, in 2003.

Anderson, as the footage shows, tapped to a triangle, a Jiu-Jitsu move he’d practiced defending “more than a hundred times,” as he repeats to Rudimar Fedrigo, Nino Schembri and Jorge “Joinha” Guimarães 3:50 minutes into the video.

First he said this to himself:

Sheesh, Anderson.
What was that? You blew it.
Jeez, you practiced it a lot there.
%$#@ that #%#*! (screaming)
Thank you … (Elvis Nino and another person)
(talking to teammates)
@#$*, I trained more than one hundred ways to get out of that $#&%ing infernal triangle!
&%$& that &*&¨@! &%$&!

The footage, taken years before Anderson reached the pinnacle of MMA stardom in the UFC, harbors a few lessons:

1. BAD DAYS HAPPEN IN JIU-JITSU

Even if you repeat a position a thousand times, you do get caught by surprise in Jiu-Jitsu. Accept it.

2. TAPPING OUT COULD BE JUST THE BEGINNING

If you tap out, it’s not the end of the world. Keep at it.

3. THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS INVINCIBLE

All fighters meet defeat one day. Get over it and keep going.

Neste vídeo, pescado pelo pessoal do site CagePotato.com, o câmera do Pride 26 flagra Anderson Silva fulo da vida após batucar para Daiju Takase, em 2003.

Anderson, como as imagens mostram, bateu no triângulo, golpe de Jiu-Jitsu que ele havia praticado a defesa “mais de cem vezes”, como ele repete para Rudimar Fedrigo, Nino Schembri e Jorge “Joinha” Guimarães, ali pelos 3min50s de filmagem.

O flagra, feito anos antes do ápice de Anderson e do título no UFC, encerra algumas lições:

1. Dias ruins acontecem no Jiu-Jitsu

Mesmo que você repita a posição mil vezes, você pode ser surpreendido no Jiu-Jitsu. Aceite.

2. Três tapinhas podem ser o começo

Se você bater, não é o fim do mundo. Persista.

3. Invencibilidade não é nada

Todo lutador conhece a derrota um dia. Desabafe e continue.

E você, aprendeu algo, para além dos palavrões? Comente com a gente, abaixo!

Se Dana White for sagaz, chama o japonês para uma revanche qualquer dia, no UFC.

Se Takase for sagaz, recusa e fica em casa curtindo o vídeo a seguir – registrado em Yokohama numa noite em que os japoneses ainda viram Fedor Emelianenko, Quinton Rampage, Mirko Cro Cop, Heath Herring, Don Frye, Mark Coleman e Alistair Overeem em ação.

If Dana White is on his toes, he’ll call on the Japanese fighter for a rematch one of these days, in the UFC.

If Takase is on his toes, he’ll refuse and go home to enjoy the following video – recorded in Yokohama one evening when the Japanese audience also got to watch Fedor Emelianenko, Quinton Rampage, Mirko Cro Cop, Heath Herring, Don Frye, Mark Coleman and Alistair Overeem in action.
