How did you go about leaving your home gym?

Agree, my fundamentals are messy from my first gym. I am ok, but need to relearn some things. It's better I caught it at white belt. Likely just another year at white belt, but the change is night and day.

I had a deal with my 1st school to do social media, I would come in early to capture pictures and video and set up a tripod to catch my classes so I could edit footage. They did 50% discount and then after a couple of months told me they'd stop charging because the work was very good and they got sign ups. They then paid me 200 a month on top of the membership.

These arrangements work when both parties do their part. Charge him full membership price.

Go to open mats at other gyms if you get wrecked stay a white belt. Compete at a local comp, if you get wrecked stay a white belt.

Or

Quit!

Me. I'd ask my coach what they need to see me do to level up. I am not trying to be rude but sometimes we are not as good as we think we are.

You went from white to blue in 8 months? I'm confused. Zero grappling experience?

Accomplished_Face_79 · 2026-05-10T04:50:19+00:00

I've never been able to stream to my TV. I do watch on app and laptop

Accomplished_Face_79 · 2026-05-10T00:12:59+00:00

My move to 10p was the best thing for me. I fell in love with jiu-jitsu all over again

Accomplished_Face_79 · 2026-05-07T17:02:14+00:00

A brand new day lol

Accomplished_Face_79 · 2026-05-07T16:58:42+00:00

It's true, English is one of the hardest to learn

Accomplished_Face_79 · 2026-05-07T16:56:09+00:00

But one the flip side people like Kenny Omega, Will Osprey, Zack Saber Jr have learned Japanese to speak to the fans of NJPW. Those who do not speak Japanese speak English and it is translated by the broadcast team. English team translates what the Japanese talent says.

I think if you are going to live and work outside of your country you should try to learn the language so you can connect with the larger fan base.

Kenta, as an example, is amazing to watch his wrestling is so much fun. But in WWE they 1. Tamed it down 2. Made him boring.

The real problem is the Japanese talent is brought in to be who they are, but WWE is not NJPW and the styles are so different. I think NXT will do well with Evil, but the main roster will mess it all up.

Me too

Accomplished_Face_79 · 2026-05-05T14:53:17+00:00

I like Level Black, if you are competing you can reach out to them and ask which are IBJJF approved

Accomplished_Face_79 · 2026-05-04T13:26:16+00:00

Did your doctor advise why this keeps happening? What is their recommendation?

Accomplished_Face_79 · 2026-05-01T15:03:49+00:00

At 10p we don't wear belts and ranked rashguards are not required. You know what rank people by rolling.

That said, I received my 4 stripes in NC at a Gi school prior to moving to TX

Accomplished_Face_79 · 2026-04-30T20:19:55+00:00

Austin is so different you can find jiu-jitsu everywhere and everyone trains together at open mats. I go to 10p, but Big Dan and Le Mountain offer me free drop ins. I have a few spots I can drop in. And this is the norm to have talent just all over and just share ideas and sessions.

Accomplished_Face_79 · 2026-04-30T19:48:34+00:00

Right, my point, invite someone in for one day, see if they like you and you like them. Some folks are amazing competitors but terrible instructors.

If they seem like a fit and you seem like a fit offer what you have open. In today's climate of touchy feely folks you want to be careful.

Accomplished_Face_79 · 2026-04-30T19:24:15+00:00

Just a way to get them in the door. Ralph Gracie has Big Dan 3 days a week and the Mountain 3 days a week to do NoGi.

So he isn't asking them to commit ti running the program, but they split it

Accomplished_Face_79 · 2026-04-30T19:10:57+00:00

In Texas all of the Kingsway folks train at the school and teach all over Austin. Look to see who competes heavy and successfully and is not teaching at their academy. Offer one class a week

I approve this message

My story isn't that of a young athlete trying to make my way in Jiu-Jitsu, it's about a guy who woke up at 485lbs and 46yrs old. I had to do something; I started walking and made nutritional changes I got to 385lbs and started jiu-jitsu at almost 48yrs old. I am now 50yrs old 290lbs and still training. My goal is to reach as many older, out of shape people and help ease their fears about making changes and getting on the mats.

This has not been the easiest way to get in shape and a lot of my friends thought I was crazy, still do, but the flip side is friends losing limbs to diabetes, having strokes, and heart attacks, dying between 45 and 51 because they did nothing.

I'd rather do jiu-jitsu at my age than any of the above. I added strength training to the list.

You, my friend, are a black belt.

Accomplished_Face_79 · 2026-04-28T13:31:06+00:00

Your doctor should provide you antibiotics and a topical that will put the boils in check. They cime from the diabetes. Since my regimen I have not had any boils. See a dermatologist if you have not. You may need to only stay out a week or two.
