Came across this thread trying to find info on a bjj gym near me and this popped up. 10 years later, Has your prediction come true?In ten years, there will be a lot more different federations running their own competitions with their own rules.
so you will the creation of different branches of BJJ.
of course you still see the branches of the original GJJ.
there will be lot more BB teaching so the prices of your average BJJ clubs will be the same as Judo while still having the expensive club run by world champions.
MMA will be a sport of its own and will become massive.
Each countries will start developing their own style of Jiu Jitsu. like the French and Russians are known to haver their own style of Judo.
As long as commentators in UFC keep using the word Jiu Jitsu and terminology, it is free advertising for BJJ clubs but consumers will become more savy and might be attracted towards mma clubs instead of a BJJ club.
Basically, if you think to get your BB in BJJ and become as rich as your current BJJ instructor, I do not think it is gonna be the case in 10 years time.
due to new skin diseases and mutant offshoots of the flesh eating virus, there will be no more contact, but personal space with be defended
cobrinha is already preparing his students for the first Air BJJ tournament as we speak
Yes.Came across this thread trying to find info on a bjj gym near me and this popped up. 10 years later, Has your prediction come true?
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 example of a movement within the style.
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 accordinglyI dunno about prices going down but there are definitely more sub only events, EBI, Polaris etc.
IBJJF finally gave up on reaping but only in black belt no gi, they'll still call you knee reaping in masters gi.
Always funny to see your old posts. This was a pretty safe prediction and I think it has mostly come to pass.I don't think it will be all that different than today to be honest. Instead of 3 gyms in an area there may be 5. Instead of 1 gym being run by a black belt and the other 2 by brown belts, most will be run by black belts. Other than that...not that different.
This. Considering to opt out of my gym after I get a few reliable rolling partners. Why pay extra $150 while they are ripping of gordon's/danahar material anyway?Paying for rolling partners at this point.With all the instructionals and online teaching out there, people may begin to start their own clubs with friends. Save that extra $150 a month and learn from whatever instructor they wish.

I've always believed you need legit in-person coaching to get to blue (and maybe purple) but after that, you might actually be better off just watching vids that fit your game and doing open mat with dedicated partners (who are also looking up their own shit and introducing you to new techniques). As it is, I mostly look up vids on my own anyway. Of course, there's a social element to going to class which would be hard to replace.
funny you say that about after getting blue and purple. I experienced the same thing. The classes were repetitive and nothing new was learned. It wasn’t until I found instructionals, I found enjoyment again
Good rolling and drilling partners are hard too get. It's better that they are at least watching some DVD rather the teaching some outdated stuff.This.
