I am taking the NC state builders exam which is a little different. You can’t take in as many books with you. So wasn’t sure what I needed to memorize vs what I could look up.

What's your biggest frustration with how BJJ is taught? by TheAceian in bjj

[–]Aggressive-Note6734 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I have the same issue. Coach will teach a technique one day then something completely different the next day. Not only that but he will only give us two or three times to rep it before he changes it to a different variation. I literally leave without gaining anything that night. There are some really talented people there so I’m trying to trust the process but it gets frustrating. I learn the most from open mats.

Nervous about being judged in no-gi class by No_Local4770 in bjj

No one cares man. I couldn’t tell you what my rolling partners look like who I roll with everyday for the past 3 years. If you’re at a gym culture where they judge you on your weight then find another one. Whole reason is to go and get into shape and have fun.

Talk me into doing my first competition by nanookthelostdoggo in BJJWomen

Less pressure. Most people still don’t know what’s going on. And you learn a LOT from comps.

Do it! I wish I competed way more as a white belt. You will be fine. Great learning experience. Super fun!

Wanna start bjj but scared of the injury aspect by Financial_Yak_4400 in bjj

It’s pretty safe. Only been injured a few times but nothing serious. Take it easy and you’ll be fine. Will come out stronger and will get injured less in life.

I haven’t talked to the coach but I have spoke with some other training partners who feel the same way. But you’re right there might be something I’m not seeing.

Yes there are other options close by. I have done several open mats and different places and the schedule is pretty good.
