    What can BJJ to stop and reverse this trend?

    Anytime money is involved, there is a chance of corruption. BJJ is no different and will only get worse. IMO, its up to the student to do the research on his gym and instructor. I care about the sport, but personally dont worry about it because the mat doesnt lie. If someone want to learn...

    We don't drill enough in many schools.

    I have no idea, but i would think that a proper warmup is really only to prevent injuries during class. I'm not sure our BB is doing the perfect warmup for us, but i dont see many muscle strains, pulls, or tears. Mostly only impact related stuff at our gym, bumps, bruises, busted lips, etc, so...

    We don't drill enough in many schools.

    my point is that it seemed you were using a very specific, unlikely, or low chance, example to provide support for a general high occurrence situation in a BJJ gym. But in that specific example, you are correct that the Blue with a masters degree in sports medicine probably knows more about...

    I took his statement as respect for the time training in BJJ, not necessarily belt rank. Generally I would take the BB's ideas over a Blue's in regards to training BJJ, but I dont think anyone is suggesting blind or unquestioned loyalty here.

    Simple solution is to go try out a few other places and see if they work better for you. You may have to travel further or pay more to find the right gym that works for your priorities. BTW, I agree 30 min is too much warm-up.

    Where to Train in Brazil?

    Do a search on Connection Rio and you will find the gyms he was working with and contact them directly. Or You could contact Jeremy at greatgrappling.com and ask him for suggestions. His thread about living down there for 6 months is awesome.

    Next time you are practicing your best throw, return the favor over and over until he gets the message.

    Really struggling and falling behind in BJJ

    I did not see it mentioned, but you could be too tense while rolling and it's maxing out your cardio. Try to slow it down and relax more, even if you tap more often. I'm older than you and I can't go 100% balls out like the younger guys or I'll gas out before them.

    Got my blue belt!

    And your medical qualifications are? I understand where you are coming from, but if he has a legitimate medical condition determined by a Dr, then what business is it for anyone other than the TS and his Dr?

    wrestling pins for mma

    Yeah, it seemed as though every college in FL wants to have as little to do with collegiate wrestling as possible. Although you def made the right decision, I wish you would have decided to come to FL. There are some great guys around, but they are spread thin. Good thing though, in the off...

    Finishing the cross collar from mount

    My collar chokes need work and I agree with ^^, but I have more success going for it and since it is such a game ender, they will usually make a mistake and leave themselves open for another sub that I have a higher % on if I can't finish.

    At least she won't be commentating, that last Metamoris was painful to listen to a few times.

    Different ways to go from the bottom to the top position

    YouTube will be your friend. Pick a position and put escape or sweep behind it in the search, like mount escape or side control escape

One of his parents was a professor at the local CC, and he was a model for a while after HS. small town life, everyone knows everyone else. Plus he and his wife were in the party...
