The UFC commentator claims that learning how to swim is easy and not something that people have to master. He compared it to martial arts and said, “It’s not like doing Jiu-Jitsu” and adds “it’s f***ing, you do this…[moves his hands in the air] ‘you breath… [you move hands, breath] “

Rogan mocks Captain Cook for not being able to swim, despite spending most of his time around water bodies. “What a f***ing weird thing to not know how to do? I could understand if you don’t grow up near a pool… You never learned…”

Jiu-Jitsu is a Japanese martial arts technique that requires a lot of practice. Along with swimming, Jiu-Jitsu is also an Olympic sport and is one of the toughest arts to master. Rogan, however, wouldn’t put the two sports in the same bracket, as they couldn’t be further apart.
