    My dilemma with switching BJJ schools...

    A lot of people are going to say higher belts, but tbh, I used to train at a school with a lot of higher belts, it was great.. But now, where I train I am the third highest ranked student at a2 stripe blue, (we have quite a bit of blues) but the instructor is very technical, and offers A LOT...

    so what area of your game are you currently working on?

    i spent he last month starting off rolls by either just laying to my side, or having them start with a good, solid, proper side mount of their choice...then roll from there...and I have spent that same time doing conditioning drills that were pretty much just rounds of side mount escapes. Why...

    Are you a pussy student?

    lol, he seems to take himself a little too seriously. We go hard in my gym. pretty damn hard compared to some schools...this guy's school just sounds like an injury factory. though, my instructor always makes it clear: even though we aren't going to a dicks to each other on this drill, you...

    BJJ schools with adult green belts?

    Don't get me wrong, I think throwing in a green belt for adults is stupid...but I was just saying, we have some TOUGH white belts at my school, That might be a blue belt at other schools, and have done so in tournaments...but my instructor is kinda old school and wants to keep the bjj pure, and...

    BJJ schools with adult green belts?

    come train at my gym to see the definition of "Advanced white belt." You're not getting that blue till you can hold your own in a blue belt/intermediate/advanced division. I used to train at a different gym, and my current group is TOUGH. I'm just a blue belt, but even I sometimes get tips on...

    Training structure

    wanting to keep their students interested is what I would figure is happening most often when you see this kind of teaching style.

    Getting Burned Out?

    take off a week every few months...I take a week off when i start to feel burnt out, and I go back better than I was before my break. For me, big leaps and strides happen after training my ass off for a month or two until I'm burnt out, take that break, come back feeling like a new grappler...

    Training structure

    instructing in that style isn't uncommon, you won't see me disagree with that. I just don't think the intention is usually to slow down progress. I'm sure there are exceptions, but if you run into an instructor that's doing things to slow down their students, it's time to find a new academy.

    Can Someone Help Me With This Ref Decision?

    after a long day of reffing, I myself have made the mistake of holding up the wrong hand. I hope that's what happened. if he DQed the wrong person, he needs to practice reffing a bit before reffing an event again. Mistakes happen, though. reffing 6-10 hours is brutally exhausting. It may...

    Training structure

    a good instructor will never intentionally try to slow down the learning of his students. That's just silly. Your instructor sucks if he's doing that...it's bad marketing too because then his students will just go somewhere else, so if they're doing it for marketing they're a bad instructor...

    Training structure

    If you have open mats, go and re-drill everything from the week during your open mats to make sure you remember it. if you have questions, don't be afraid to ask. I would prefer more structure, but as long as you're learning..at least you're doing bjj right? If it's that big of a problem...

    How to spot a grappler?

    just watch how they stand up when they get up from the floor. or how they hug, grapplers always like the double unders and gable grips as mentioned earlier. cauliflower ear is a good one. oh, and they always wear bjj merchandise.
