Carlson Gracie Downtown Chicago

Wrestleben said:
When asked about the Jiu-Jitsu talent level at the Chicago Academy, Coach and Black Belt Jason Sullins remarked 'Many Jiu-Jitsu schools in the area struggle to have even one legitimate black belt instructor actively teaching their students. However, our schools have always taken pride on the high level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction that we provide. With that said, to have five legitimate black belt instructors in one school including the master himself... unbelievable! Why would you want to train anywhere else?'

What the deal with this? Are illegitimate black belts common in Chicago?
 
NO. That was a quote that Ben took from the press release, it isn't his opinion.

But I would agree that the language could be taken as subversive.

I am aware of every single black belt in Chicago, know many of them, and have rolled with many as well and I would not consider a single one of them to be illegitimate. Details of this are on BJJinChicago - Covering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Chicago and Northwest Indiana

I agree his choice of words make him sound like he is questioning black belts in the area. But i doubt that is the case.

Weird all this Chicago talk, since I'm probably moving up there in Oct. I'll have to check around the Aurora area since that's where I would be working.
 
Why would I want to interview Ramiro Mota? He's always posting creepy stuff of his facebook.


hahahaha
 
Did the school open yet?

I see the date 8-29 but not sure if that is the opening date or not.
 
The school opens this coming Tuesday.

I talked with someone who asked Jason Sullins about the press release. He said Jason didn

Last I heard, Iszy was opening a school in the North Loop. And Junior will be teaching at the Wabash School and the(coming soon) suburban school. Even after the Suburb school opens, Junior will still teach at the Loop school as well. He lives 5 minutes from it and has a part of it. Daniel will be teaching at the ‘burbs school. Junior and Co. figure the people who want to stay in the loop/city will have the downtown school and people who live further out/don’t mind driving more can hit up the Suburban school.
