Can you please put videos of CTC that showcase and demonstrate the Gracie Jiu Jitsu compare to bjj?
I am actually quiet keen to see them.
Like mentioned in the past, bjj is gone down the rabbit hole of sport with no self defense application?
Instead of critics, let turn this thread about...
Opening your own school when you are not a BB is not really a good idea.
Most people would seek the blessing of their BB instructors before opening their school.
But back in the days, it was common to see blue belts running affiliate as there were no many BB around.
Yes, seeking affiliation...
Why would I want to open a CTC affiliation program when I had access to multiple options of training in local bjj academies?
I started training before Renee decided to promote people via videos!
When Renee started his online program, the whole F12 started discussing the pro and cons of his...
It does not really matter.
I could be a white belt four stripes.
My opinion of Renee Gracie promoting people to blue belt online would remain the same.
He'll, we even had a bunch of guys that mimic the Gracie CTC program and studied online. After a while, they flew Renee in and he promoted...
I am not arguing.
Like I said, it is really up to what people want.
36 privates to a GJJ blue belt.
If you are ok with that. Then so be it.
Same as you think it is normal to get promoted online and run a Gracie CTC.
Also, We will bjj gym with a curriculum.
It is something unique to GJJ...
Everyone knows that the original Gracie academy was based on private classes to rich business men that learn and drill the 70 self defense techniques and got promoted to blue belt.
Carlson gracie was supposed to be the first Gracie to start group classes and did not hold on the techniques that...
The system you described sounds like they are selling affiliation to people that have lot of money and they don't want to train at their local bjj gym because they don't like getting humbled and earn their rank the traditional way: "smash".
Not surprising at all. It has been like that for over...
Gracie combatives is based in the assumption that your opponent is not trained so you can easily use you JJ skills.
So you can easily take you opponent down and submit him .
No need for a deep half guard,,?
It really depends on your needs.
Like you said, these purple belts would BB in sport bjj.
But yet you just quote some videos test and a week test etc..
Yiu also mention 36 techniques of Gracie combatives.
A bunch of videos that was released with the goal of promoting blue belt online by then...
The Gracie CTC program was created to enable people to run self defense gym via affiliation. I think they just have to test online etc.
Is self defense better than the sport version?
Who knows? The beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
Some people loves self defense and some don't.
To each...
I heard of school putting a stripe on a five year old and asking the parents to pay up 30 dollars. It is a scam.
Kids so many stripes that it is unfair especially when it is not disclose at time of signing. Up
Congratulations.
This forum is not active as it used to be.
But it is awesome to read about the old boys getting their belt promotion especially the black belt.
Well done.
Prices won't drop but there is lot more supply to demand. So there is an option to cheaper option but of course the top name will still charge accordingly
Just to ad to my post..
The number of bjj clubs have massively increased in my town and country.
Regarding new federation, Adcc has an international federation which promotes their rules and competitions around the world.
Regarding bjj getting the local flavour. American jiu jitsu is a good...
