Will learning the Portuguese language help your BJJ?

[Iconoclast]

It's apparently a fairly easy language to pick up, and at least I'd understand a bit more of what's getting said at my classes.

The classes are mostly in English but sometimes certain people can't help but start speaking in Portuguese. For all I know they could be talking about last nights episode of Corrie, but what if they're trying to keep the best moves for themselves? :confused:

then you're at the wrong club and portuguese won't help you?

[Iconoclast]

then you're at the wrong club and portuguese won't help you?

Why wouldn't being able to know what's being said not help?

[david5]

more the fact you're at a club where the sharing of techniques isn't free and unhindered.

call them a filho da puta and leave

It doesn't hppen too often and I don't get the impression that they're trying to hide anything, they just sometimes speak their own language without thinking, I think.

Do you speak Portuguese? You must have had to learn a bit in Brazil?

[david5]

i understand a lot, depends how fast they speak though
