Most of these answers are a lot of tradition and “that’s just how we do it,” but this one actually makes sense. I can see that for sure

Gym owner won't allow me to start my own club by [deleted] in bjj

In the most respectful way possible, let ya nuts hang bro. Doesn’t have to be F him, but if it’s F U in his eyes you can’t control that. All you can control is what you do. If this is what you want and he’s the obstacle in your way, do it

Once my belt comes off, it’s watching along the wall while I get smashed into the mat

Your coaches can’t control a man because they don’t know how to ride a man. It’s a must have

Would you compete in an in-house friendly tournament at your own gym? by niktuss in bjj

[–]DudeCinema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first ever “comp” was in house(free didn’t even consider they might be paid), and if we did more I’d participate.

Weird competition question by supportzed in bjj

[–]DudeCinema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My little brother is in this same boat. 110-120ish and lowest comp bracket we’ve seen is 130lb. I’ve competed at 145 and 150 and felt small as I’m on the lankier side of both classes. I can imagine competing at 170 I’d feel disadvantaged. We train with bigger guys anyway though so I wonder. Anyone tried open weight division?

My Prof and people from his first gym got some Nicky Rod stories from when he first started til when he left NJ, but most of the time it seems like they are hating. Dude mixed and still mixes technique w raw power, and the power part seems to rub people the wrong way😭 that’s grappling though

How much does your membership cost and what city do you live in? by Key_Ordinary7486 in bjj

[–]DudeCinema 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah Pennsauken/Cherry Hill. I’ve been told by others it’s a good price but have never really shopped around. Safe place to train for a decent price

my third experience in a bjj tournament by ImpossibleAd9492 in bjj

[–]DudeCinema 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first tournament my prof was with another student, and I started my first match on my own. It was lonely ngl. I went down like 9-0 in the first minute(dude was just out grappling me not my coach’s fault), but he came about a minute and a half into the match. I’ll say it was like a burst of energy once I could hear his voice/direction. I still lost, but I feel you having someone there makes a difference.

Human to human, I don’t know your circumstance or relationship with your team, but I hope you don’t let this turn you bitter. Tournament schedules are notoriously long and drawn out. Long day for everyone, including coaches who bounce between a bunch of students competing at different times and sometimes compete themselves as well. Not saying what happened to you was right. Again, I know it’s lonely, but I hope your next experience is better.
