How did you know he was a black belt ? Just curious
Who? What? Where? Why?
I have no idea what you’re talking about.

That’s sad. is the bb running a cult where everyone just blindly follows him?
Lol, you’ve been there for 2 years. Best friends already?I agree about rolling.... problem is my training partners are my best friends now. Hard to leave man
Well, the BB make some bs story on how he got his BB.
Lot of people would leave at the start but some would stay and by the time they realise that he is a fraud. It is too late. They are like purple belt or above and just rather live the lie than leave.
What's the story? I'm intrigued!

Uhh yeah ?
I'm 36 dude, where else do i go that I can make friends? Work?
And the karatification is complete
Or mostly
Shrug
For all the grief some five wrestling, that’s never going to be an issue lolOur only hope is that adults outweight the kids in BJJ, so there are more people able to stand up and criticize the system.
My kids are doing the classes and I know that they roll, or at least they do positionnal sparring integrated in educationnal games. Just enough to roughen them up a little.
When the kids will start doing all technique classes, we will know that we are 10 years away from complete karate JJ
I'm in the same stage of my life. I wouldn't say that my BJJ pals are my best friends but I enjoy my time with them pretty much.
I have old friends from school and from way back, but I don't see them as much as I see the guys at the gym.
I would hate to lose touch with them and it would be a big part of my decision to switch gym.
1 hour is BS if you want to roll, we do mostly 1.5 hours training with at least 5 X 6 minutes rounds.
The only 1 hour classes are followed by the ''advanced class'' where we do no warm ups, we do 2 techniques and we roll for 40-45 minutes.
We rarely do warm ups, you should come early and do your warm up by yourself, we usually do a technique that we can do at a high pace so we get the blood flowing.
5 rolls every day? I feel happy when I get 3.
Man, what an uphill battle I have to change things where I train
I understand. I have a bunch of 35-50 year old guys who are really tight knitUhh yeah ?

Been there 2 years now.
For the longest time the hour structure was 15 minute warm-up, 30 technique drills (that's about 3 techniques), then last 15 minutes rolling then open mat after class if you want.
Last few months it's warm ups and a shit ton of techniques taking up whole hour, then they end class and then open mat.
The problem is for someone like me who has a lunch hour at work and baby sitting to arrange for kids to go to night classes this makes it extremely frustrating to get even 1 roll in.
At lunch I've been coming in 15 minutes late in the hopes I can roll a few times AFTER class, and at night i often have to leave and not roll at all the baby sitter will want to get paid 2 hours or I have to put kids to sleep or whatever.
I tried to give hints to the two professors but it seems to get worse and worse.
What would you do in this case ? No one else seems to care but me either. It's almost like people don't want to roll
I hate every single one of my training partners, it makes it easy to get solid rolls in.
