Somewhere a Wing Chun stylist is laughing...

The confusion here is one of medium vs. method. you can be shown an instruction information from sky writing, but the method of learning should never deviate.

No one under the age of 18 should be teaching anything. At most a 17 year old should be an assistant. That video needed greater mediating to prevent the monologues that developed. Rener needed a greater challenge against the points he was making.

The vast majority don't take up BJJ to engage in high level competition. one might even ask if BJJ should actually be about that in the first instance.

Who was it that spotted this in the first instance? That is the very important starting point.

Just to mention, but from the English version of the Carlos Gracie biography, George Gracie would have been one heck of a man to learn BJJ from. I still say his is the great untold Gracie story.

I shall never forget the very first time I got caught in the guard, it was a woman. I saw a small smile on her face. lol

I suppose it could be argued that if your BJJ doesn't resemble Royce in early UFC, then you are merely engaging in a vigorous form of calisthenics and not true self defence.

If there are billing issues, could you call directly to the Gracie academy? I bet they would sort if out for you. (probably already did this, but thought I would air it).

Invisible fees...

OP, the day after my first Judo lesson, my whole body ached as never before [unless you count what that lady from Wales did to me] so expect some aches and pains from grappling lessons. FYI I knew a man with black belts in Judo and Karate and he said he only ever used Judo in actual fights. Good...

I always feel sorry for the people who are just there trying to have dinner.

I wish Steven Seagull had made a movie with Tony Hawk.

But he appears to have gotten away with it...

Although one could quite reasonably ask how a "1 handed Rener" against a purple belt will improve the sparring confidence of said purple belt. lol

I wonder if a senior Gracie instructor from Torrance Academy would do a well moderated Q & A session here on f12?

Some of you are like ungrateful children on Christmas morning. The Gracie family gave you the art you study, a fine way to protect yourself, a great way to stay in shape, a community of friends and possible partners, a world class sport and arguably this site via UFC and modern MMA: Are they...

When I read the English translation of the Carlos Gracie biography, what stayed with me more than anything, was how much George Gracie contributed to actual fighting with Jiu Jitsu and how little his name is cited these days.

I would pay double for a seminar with D.B. Cooper. Have you seen him?

That's why I said the more things change the more they stay the same.
