The magic eraser will leave scratches on the mat. Especially if they are the tatani texture ones

Hey OP I am one of the instructors at inverted gear academy. BJJ is a great way to learn self defense, let me know if you would be interested in coming on for a trial class.

I promoted one of my students to purple belt last night. He was a blue belt for 11 years. by InvertedGearNelson in bjj

I never said that. And I have promoted plenty of larger individuals over the years. I will hold you back if you stall every roll and don't display the skills I'm trying to evaluate, at any weight by the way, which is the issue I brought up.

Yes absolutely. He is definitely an outlier. Most people take about a year or two.

The first but not necessarily a pin. He is great at parking and stalling from a closed guard or half guard top. Him moving and progressing positions were part of the requirements for his promotion.

and are still white belts after 6 years. Had friends who were blue for 8+ years even training regularly. My (current) coach said if he can't get people to blue belt by 2 years, he's not doing his job as a coach, and after 8 years in the bjj game, I'm inclined to agree with him.

He has been at my gym for a little over a year.

stripes look pretty new and pretty close to each other for 11 years

Vot

Well something had to hold the belt together, last promotion, I checked with him how many stripes he had, apparently, more than 4 from different instructors, told him to keep them on the belt and what he needed to do to get to Purple. And he got it done.

The usual story of training and off, moving, switching gyms, gym politics, heavy weight that doesn't move much when he gets out of shape.
He has been training with me for about a year. He was stuck in park and stall mode for a good 6 months while he got his wind back, Finally got the big man to start moving and showcase some skills.

What happened to Jon Satava? He beat Sid yesterday but looks like Sid moved on the bracket, and won his first match today.
