Just bumped into Marcello Garcia and Gabby Garcia at a food festival here in NYC

My God that woman is HUGE! No wonder she is unbeatable, her size is a big advantage (not to take away from her hard work)

Wanting to start BJJ

Closest school is:

http://www.indianapolisjiujitsu.com/

Can anyone tell if it's legit? It sure seems like a really awesome school, and I think I may have lucked out?

check it out man. black belt running it and possibly teaching, and a black belt student teach for sure. as long as the environment is conducive to your learning, then stick with it. Ive been with the same coach since I started 4.5 years ago. I have had a ton of guys come to my school from other gyms, and they are just floored at how awesome our environment is, and they always tell me how lucky I am to have started with such an awesome coach/class. the overall environment is imperative to success.

[slapaho]

I think if you're just starting out learning the basics it doesn't matter too much

but yeah the gym environment is a big thing too. i love my gym cause it's small and everyone knows each other and we have no douchebags/egos. we also have a free seminar + brazilian bbq every last saturday of the month which is awesome. tomorrow's will be a half-guard seminar.

It'd be worth a look - especially if the head coach is a legitimate black belt.

Saw this on a BJJ site today, a few cool tips:

[hutch1999]

In on this thread. Don't know how I missed it.

Third stripe white belt under a Nova Uniao USA black belt.

I took a long hiatus from classes for about a year (due to job/housing location) and am now getting serious again.

[chino3]

well Im leaving for Germany for two weeks, and have been runnin ragged trying to get ready. So that means next to no training. So I took an extra hour long lunch and trained! It was awesome, because all the guys prepping for Masters World this weekend are training in the day. now I have to try to stay awake for the next 3 hours at work.

keep rollin brahs

Nice to have you in bro

thanks, nice to have a new outlet of discussion of bjj

[Ultraviolence]

I had my first night of training after my back surgery a couple of months ago where I didn't feel like a complete idiot on the mat.

We're all gonna make it.

[cds2011]

After a week of some of the best rolls of my life I had an absolutely horrible night yesterday! Couldn't hit any sweeps, submissions, or even pass anyone's guard. Pretty much got destroyed all night. It really is a mind game a lot of the time. I feel like I was in a bad mindset and it screwed me up.

[wanaBsedated]

Got a new white belt this year ,training with team alliance , sao paulo.

Prior to this trained in a mixed style that included sambo and catch. Brothers are wrestling champs so some wrestling also, muay thai,boxing, jeet kune do concepts (mostly western boxing for striking).

Fun stuff.

[chino3]

thought I would pass this along,

HEADS UP FRAUD ALERT
Jeffrey Bunting or Jeffrey Catlett, student at Art of Jiu Jitsu Academy, purchased a gi from me, and has opened a chargeback with PayPal stating the card was used in an unauthorized purchase.

The case is being reviewed. If anyone knows this scum bag in real life, please contact me, or at least convince him to do the right thing

Sounds sounds great bro. It's awesome when you get the opportunity to train with a lot of higher level guys - I think it really improves your game.

If you get a chance, visit Terere in Rio. Talk to Fabio Gurgel or one of the other guys first and they should be able to set it up. Terere is the GOAT

white belt here in NYC just started

been training 3-4 days per week... getting incredibly sore and its hard to keep up with my strength training at the gym... all my muscles are not 100% everytime I go to the gym


my advice to new people

try moves - try anything and test the waters dont just hold your guard position etc try different movements, try to emulate people around you, see what you can do. Dont be affraid to ask your partner how he did that, what should you do, slow down, etc.

its better to learn bjj by rolling at 50% rather than 100%, "flowing" is better, at a basic level you need to get the moves down before you actually "spar"

just to add something about the bolded parts, I must emphasize, do NOT go 100% until you have some what of a clue as to what you are doing. Doesn't matter if you are a manmore (huehuehue), you will cross a line and you will get wrecked... show respect, pay attention to your body and your partners movements and focus on learning why something did or did not work, and learn from there.

[SomethngOfPeace]

tore my labrum, delt and rotator during a sprawl january 3rd this year. glad to be back now. time to hit the mats. reps till im out

[pojo18]

19 year old, 1 stripe blue belt. Been training for 2 years. Couple local tourney wins under my belt.

[taf1968]

thanks, nice to have a new outlet of discussion of bjj

Hutch, I forgot you trained!

Will have to check this thread out . . . don't know how I've managed to miss it. I don't train bjj specifically, but have done Kempo Jujitsu for the last 16+ years (so we do a lot of striking and stand-up too). Currently on the shelf from a ruptured bicep in February due to an overzealous training partner and an armbar. Should be cleared to pick up training again in Jan. Until then I am rehabbing and spectating.

2nd degree Black . . . should be about 4th by now but life (and bicep ruptures) get in the way.

sorry, black belt in what exactly?


and in case anyone likes BJJ drama, Cavaca left Checkmat, is starting a new team with an un-named UFC fighter (though the rumor is drysdale, but that would be wrong for so many reasons). Buchecha is still with Checkmat at least through ADCC. Leo is bummed
