A better example, using BJJ, is: "What martial art do you study?"
"It's Brazilian."
"Oh Capoeira?"
"Something like that."
"I heard it's not very good in a fight."
"Well it's not Capoeira, it's more practical."
"Vale Tudo?"
"Yeah, kinda like that."
"No really, what is it?"
"BJJ."
"Oh, then you must be a really good fighter! I heard BJJ wins like all the UFCs."
