Mini_Cooper Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 SO, going back to the origional thread. We need the merits of the individual BJJ clubs in the area, ie which are the best for contests which is the best for people who want to train and not take it too seriously, and which one is the best for people who want a black belt in 3 months. Which one is the best for a laugh, ie, where behavior such as farting is not frowned upon. Crikey this thread is descending into a fart, sorry a farse. With defenses against knife attacks, and even one poster talking about defending against someone trying to behead you. Now I know Town can be violent at times, its not that bad. Can someone answer the above points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone answer the above points depends... depends... depends... computer says not possible... depends...

Carnage Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hi All, Long time reader, first time poster:thumbsup: I think you'll find that both schools have nice guys training there, both are friendly welcoming places and you can argue the toss who’s the better instructors. But let’s face it Gracie Barra Has 2 Purple belt instructors that have been assessed by two of the best bjj players on the planet over a long period of time. Their technique has been picked apart and rebuilt by these black belts over this period of time on a weekly basis. They have been given the right to run a Gracie Barra school and are recognised by Carlos Gracie Jn on merit alone and haven’t had to pay a penny for this. Both instructors enter comps and are a constant on the mat putting their rep on the line and have proven the standard they are at. There was a comp recently in Sheffield of which there were 6 entrants from Gracie Barra, RGJJ NONE. Royce Gracie does have a couple of guys, GOOD guys who have entered amateur mma and I have a lot of respect for these guys for doing so but that alone cant be used to justify RGJJ over the instruction of 2 Gracie Barra black belts for top class bjj instruction. I glad that it wasn’t any of them that tried to use that to promo their bjj instruction. Take it from someone who has a clue about sport if it is proper 100% bjj you are after you can't beat Gracie Barra in Sheffield. On the other hand if you just want some where to train and the standard of tuition is not of great concern, train at any of the clubs! And lastly, Chefkicker please let the guys from RGJJ put their own case across as your imput on bjj is embarassing!! Stick to what you know:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick to what you know:thumbsup: hmm, sounds like another 'my dad's bigger than your dad' post... getting a purple belt is impressive, and congrats to the guys, but what it means is that they're deemed to deserve the ir promotion because they've improved on the mat, not necessarily because they've improved as instructors (although they might have, who knows?) try all the clubs you're interested, and see what's best for YOU - ignore all the rest of this crap...

Cagn4y didn’t you say you trained bjj:confused: If there instruction wasnt up to standard do you think the black belts that assess them, who represent the largest bjj team in the world and personally answer to Carlos Gracie jn would allow them to continue to teach? Progression comes from technique, talent and teaching ability you train bjj don’t you know this?????? Every two weeks 50% of the classes at Gracie Barra are taken by a world-class black belt. Now you and your friends train bjj how often do you train with a black belt, world champ out of interest? These are facts that cant be argued, no my dads bigger than your dad.
