    Attended a Ciao Terra Seminar Last Weekend

    His attention to detail and making sure everyone gets the move is far and above anyone I've ever been to a seminar with (been to 2, will be a 3rd in April).

    is this for real?

    Your delivery and context was terrible. It didn't come across to me as sarcasm either.

    Gordon Ryan Transitioning to Gi

    The part that chides people is how loud he (and his fanboys) crow "He's NOT USING!!!!" c'mon now...he is, so is everyone else but no one else is out there saying "I don't cheat, everyone else does" like some of the DDS said in an interview I remember seeing recently.

    Cool new BJJ forum just went live

    I think so along with the rise of Social media replacing it. Part of what made forum/specific sites fun for me in the past were getting to meet people locally (car forums) and hanging out or learning techniques/sharing videos/stories about BJJ before Facebook. Now that FB is so popular most of...

    Do people actually shower twice before training and after?

    I shower before classes on the weekend (It's part of my morning routine to shower...just helps me wake up), during the week no. I shower before work and work an office job so no real reason to shower before. Shower after class fo sho.

    Rumor: Eddie Cummings and DDS fall out

    Everytime I teach the D'arce I always tell the story about the guy it's named after and how it's actually pronounce Dee Ar Say. cracks up one of my bluebelts (he's heard it for 4 years now). *now that's something you know*

    Gordon Ryan Transitioning to Gi

    Did you do it while grappling several hours a day as well? Grappling does not equal sleep/rest/eating big (i.e. putting on mass). While the muscle growth is not the only factor, the ability to recover is the biggest factor to be able to grow that much AND grapple that much/train that hard.

    Cool new BJJ forum just went live

    Traditional forums like this and that new one are a dying breed. Reddit and forums with subforums along with social media have replaced specific hobby forums. I'm on several dying car forums (used to street race growing up) and they along with sherdog have all been dying a slow death for the...

    HIV check every 6months for grappling gyms?

    Your trolling technique is as bad as your technique on the mat. 0 / 10.

    Moves you wouldn’t do on a training partner...

    How about get in a better/dominant position and submit them...or stay in mount. Don't be a dick just because you aren't top dog. Being a dick to be a dick is just....dumb.

    Moves you wouldn’t do on a training partner...

    So you think by doing cheapshots back to them it won't make it worse and them ripping armbars on you because you are already in the inferior position?

    Moves you wouldn’t do on a training partner...

    Nothing better than actually using PROPER shoulder pressure downward directly into their throat (read NOT JAW). When you can pass to mount or from Halfguard and you DON'T and they tap from the pressure. Holding onto stuff to long and cranking necks is just being a little bitch because you...

    chargining for open mats, opinions?

    I have not had people that did this and I don't charge for drop ins (even for regular class) if it's a 1 off and I know you train at another gym. If you stopped paying and only came to open mats, I would have a conversation with that person personally to work out something that would work for...

    Jumping Full Guard. Opinions?

    Welp you are an idiot and shouldn't jump guard and assume you won't injure the person or I won't shove your hips away and let you bang your head off the mat for doing something dangerous to me. So...That's my conclusion.

    chargining for open mats, opinions?

    I don't run a regularly scheduled open mat, but I have had about 5 of them so far since I've been open. 2 have been tied to grand opening/first classes. 1 has been a "charity" open mat where we donated proceeds to hurricane relief in Houston (we are in Dallas) and raised over $1k, and 2 have...
