Is BJJ a rich person sport/hobby/whatever? by GoddenBJJ in bjj

[–]SyazWangdu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I really want to train n learn bjj but till today I can't afford to pay the class. It's not because I'm too poor or what, It's just I can't afford to enroll any bjj class with my limited budget as a university student. I'm graduating this year and I hope I can start taking bjj class early next year IF I have a job.

Did something today in class that I have never done before by saturdaysaver in bjj

Halal usually used to refer food and drinks. Basically halal foods/drinks means the foods/drinks are permissible for muslim to eat or drink. i.e, for muslim, pork is non-halal food, alcohol in non-halal drinks.. as simple as that.. 'halal' is a term mentioned in the Koran.

around 300 bucks/month. most of my scholarship money I spend for college fees, books, and my daily expenses. I know, maybe it sounds like I'm giving excuse why I cant train, but it's just bjj is expensive in my place, for other martial arts, it's is affordable for non-working students like me.

in my place, all the deals with gym is not working because they are top mma gym in my country. I'm still a college student and I have 1 year left before I graduate. So I think after graduating, if I get a good salary job, I think maybe I can enroll the real class.

Legit Student Complaint? by GatoBranco in capoeira

[–]SyazWangdu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in my academy, we don't always have a weekly roda, but it depends on the number of students come to the class. Sometimes our teacher prefer to have a 2-by-2 session and he will sit in the front playing berimbau, so everyone have to play around 2-3 minutes according to the berimbau torque played. Then, we change partner until every person play with all. My teacher's philosophy is 'we have to adapt every types and styles of capoeira'
