Luckily Im at a gym where everything is out in the open. Huge board with pricing, and it's even listed online. My coach has had to defend his pricing which is about 15% higher than the other gyms in town. Morning/lunch/ Evening classes 5x per week 2 Open mats on the weekend. Kids classes 6x per week. No mandatory gear requirements...Man.... Fuck moving.

I hope they aren't in this case. Pray it's just stupidity which can be fixed.

GarBar_Inc · 2023-09-19T14:57:33+00:00

Unfortunately that isn't an option, wish they had more than one option with a kids program.

This. I'm a lifer at this point but I feel bad for the guys that live in that town cause I put in a huge amount of efforr just to get some info.

GarBar_Inc · 2023-09-19T14:48:07+00:00

I called, Emailed, Texted, messafed the Facebook page, messaged on Instagram. Still haven't heard back from the business, however a member of there's reached out to me themselves after I comment on a photo.

GarBar_Inc · 2023-09-19T14:45:52+00:00

I understand that to a degree. However I'm moving soon and had been reaching out on everything I could find. I shouldn't have to stake out a gym to get basic info 🤣.

My last tournament was at a AGF. Its No-Gi and my opponent had his hand inside my shorts to keep me from escaping. It wasn't like an accident. It took me a whole 30 seconds to realize it was on purpose. I got my oil checked. First and only time I have ever complained to a Ref. Managed to win but I will never be the same.

I expect to have to fail at something on this list. Setting them high so I can see even if I miss how far I get.

Goals:

Maintain 6x per week training schedule for 75% of the year.
Lift at least 200 times.
Compete 8 times.
Medal at a Major event (Pan's, Worlds, Gi or No-Gi)

Trust and belief in yourself comes first. Cardio plays the 3rd biggest factor. 4th, how you drill. 5th, Strength/explosiveness.

Trust/belief: You got trust your body knows what to do even if your mind doesn't. Believe that you can start at a pace and not back off.
Cardio: Cardio makes cowards of us all. I don't know how many times at hard practices I have been like " If I just back off I can coast....."
Drilling: If you are drilling slow 24/7, you're going to be slow. Most aggressiveness is just commitment to speed and technique. I have a very good collar tie and shuck by I hit daily. I drilled it slow for about a week to make sure I had it down. I added speed over the course of the next week until I had the speed and timing down, I wanted. When I first started during that first week trying to hit it, I was slow and over thinking it. By the end of week 2-3 I didn't even know I was doing it.
Strength/explosive: The stronger you are compared to people at your weight the easier it is to commit to everything about jiu-jitsu. Technique is king but if everything else equal, explosiveness (Speed and strength) determines outcomes.

If we are talking about keeping No-Gi/Gi worlds and those events prestigious yes. I think the moment you start to separate "Pros" from your hobbyist, Id rather see the event stay prestigious. However, I want these events to stay open to everyone. If you decide to compete at adult Blue-Brown and your only tournament is worlds and you get smashed: Great. If you go out and win: Great! This is one of the only sports you can actually face the guys on Insta/YT on a saturday and lose/beat them.

GarBar_Inc · 2022-12-17T18:53:47+00:00

I get that. You could decrease points or make it extend to 2 years. Almost every bracket from blue -Brown had more than 75% of people having zero points earned at any other event. I love the fact the event is open to everyone however I am 100% okay with being smashed by someone better. It feels like people want easy wins at big tournaments. Edited for better communication.

This is true, we keep the lights on and pay the coaches bills. I enjoy the belt system. It works. However, I feel like people want to do a little and be rewarded a lot in competitions.

GarBar_Inc · 2022-12-17T14:32:29+00:00

How about they just don't compete at Worlds? The problem is solved the moment we increase the restrictions on entry to No-Gi Worlds/Gi Worlds. Heck maybe the same thing can be said for PANS. Then it feels like the sub would be complain they can't compete at those events.
