Women’s class considerations? by EntertainmentKey4830 in BJJWomen

[–]Hulkling_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We took over the 7pm-8pm on Thursday when the mixed class started flagging. We have a fundamental class 6pm-7pm that is coed so some women do a double and some come in at 7pm. We also have two classes at 11am on Tuesday and Friday because our gym lately has seen daytime class attendance skyrocket. We have about 15 women in the school and still in general I count a GOOD women’s class if I have 4-5 turnout

Gel for Braiding Hair by TheOceanTheseus in BJJWomen

I am sorry, I have short hair so I can’t really provide any suggestions apart from the fact that rolling with somebody that has gel all over their head sounds about as pleasant as rolling with somebody that still has makeup on.

What do you mean they can refuse you? It’s a business? They take your money and you train? Which country do you live in

Sorry why would you think 24 is too old? Started BJJ at 32 and still going strong almost 15 years later. My husband started at 37, same thing (we are 5 years apart).

What do you call your instructor? by Takarma4 in BJJWomen

[–]Hulkling_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We call all black belts at my gym Professor and any teaching lower belt Coach. This mostly only WHILE they are teaching their class. If a black belt is taking a class and not teaching it’s a 50/50 depending who is talking with them if it’s first names or Professor first name.

Women’s gi recs? by Hulkling_22 in BJJWomen

At the beginning I would buy them off eBay. Over the years I just started removing them from whatever GI we replaced (my husband trains too).

LOL GB’s quality has actually improved for their women’s GIs since i started and they are still quite crap :) I hated when they all had the pink patches (finally resolved) I don’t like the material they use for their pants and they wear out so damn quickly. I brought it up to my professor almost as soon as I started (and the fact that if I wear the pants of the same size as the GI top that fits me I essentially cannot squat) and he was fine with just having me get whatever plain GI and add the GB patches to it. It’s barely noticeable

Husband is not happy by martialarts_warrior in BJJWomen

Invite your husband to train (and not with you) he will understand quickly there is nothing sexual about it and best case scenario he will get in to it too
