Back to the original question regarding the video.

A belt is a form of regonition from an insructor/coach to their student. It is not for me to question who should get awarded what.

Got this book myself and for drills it's awesome. Some hidden jems in his description of techniques as well. For solo drilling it's the best guide I have seen so far. Saulo's book has some solo...

As it's a hobby, like it has been said, do what you enjoy. If at any point you want to do MMA again, there's no reason you can't go back to it.

Awesome post.

Jiu Jitsu is for life bud. 4-6 weeks to heal some ribs is not long in the course of your training career. Give yourself time to heal. I've damaged my foot at present and I am now seeing it as a...

What Sir Tapsalot said.

Also I know Tatamifightwear.com is clearing a load of old stock, so you could grab a bargin there. They will be getting in a range of 'budget BJJ gi's' for students, part...

Best of luck with the running of the show Josh. I hope it goes well for you.

Apparently Dan has sorted his certification/qualification out with US BJJ today. Don't know anything more.

I think it's important to not only look at how long you are training for each week, but what you are doing during those times.

Not everyone can achieve training everyday, most people can only...

Quality advice that can be put across any martial arts gym. Fundamentals, good environment, and hygiene ftw!!!

Congratulations.

I don't know anything about Dan Wait or his qualifications, but checked out the site and have seen that Mat Flat is a coach there. Mat has recently joined the CMDP Trainers Program, and will be...

Well done Polish Dan.

Secondly, I like everyone in our sessions to get along. When anyone new comes along they are introduced and the environment is set that everyone works with anyone and help out one...

Is there a tenth planet jiu jitsu affliate in the uk? I believe they grade but shirts instead of belts.

As previously mentioned, the end of the day, do you really need a grade for what you want...

Mid twenties to mid forties. Average is 25-30

Completely agree.

Just because you play tennis doesn't mean that you need compete in a division. There are numerous benefits to Jiu Jitsu (like many forms of movement, sport, martial art), and...

Thank you my fren

Been reading for a while, but needed to post... hence I needed to join.... now I will be trapped on here forever. hehehe

Cheers for the welcome Josh.

If someone came in and said 'BJJ sucks' what would I do?
