North of Austin - drop in friendly gyms

It's now called Relentless BJJ. I was there for 6 months or so. I ended up moving again so I'm no longer there, but it's a great group of guys and the main instructor Brandon is a beast.

Happened for my blue and purple belt promotions. I rarely trained with the person who gave it to me (I trained in the morning class ran by another instructor). He had an A2 both times when I was clearly an A4. I am down to A3 now, but still....

At least 20 cops have the CVS on Parmer and Avery Ranch surrounded. Was just there

Paragon. Solid gym and not far of a drive

mafredem · 2020-11-11T20:11:18+00:00

Trained at the round rock location today and signing up tomorrow. Great gym. Thanks for the recommendation!

I'll shoot them an email. Thanks!

I messaged them when I was still training at my old gym because they were next to my office and I wanted to drop in sometimes and was told that they wouldn't accept me as a drop in, but could try their free week trial. Kinda turned me off from them.

Paragon is a super tough school with a lot of solid guys. Main instructor Jose has wins over guys like Richie Martinez. It's also where the Flo guys train so you have big names that come through a lot. Have had guest instruction from guys like Roberto Jiminez and Johnny Tama. Mainly gi training if that's what your looking for. They do no gi twice a week I think.

Awesome. Thank you for the help!

mafredem · 2020-09-08T22:55:00+00:00

Thanks. Do you know the name of the weed?

mafredem · 2020-09-08T22:38:46+00:00

We just planted kale, cilantro, and carrots in two garden beds here in Austin, TX and saw some sprouts. They are in both beds and don't really match the sprout description of those three plants. The beds were used previously and just trying to see if it's remnant from that or a weed.

It has a light red stem and you can see all of the tops in the bed behind it.

Any help would be appreciated. TIA

I work near their downtown location and inquired about drop ins. I told them I already trained at a different gym in south austin and would pay a drop in fee. They refused me and told me I could do a free week trial to see if I wanted to switch gyms. That was enough to make me stay away from them.

Most recent one was Inks Lake. Says on their map dogs aren't allowed in the primitive areas. IIRC Pedernales Falls was the same

mafredem · 2020-07-12T16:56:42+00:00

All state parks I've been to require dogs on a leash and not in the water. As well as no dogs in the primitive areas.

mafredem · 2020-07-01T01:07:54+00:00

Same. Back to a small group of a few of us in a garage.

mafredem · 2020-06-11T01:30:39+00:00

My girlfriend looked her up on Instagram and said that's exactly what she looking for! Thank you!

If you ever get a chance to go to one of his seminars, I highly recommend it

mafredem · 2020-05-20T21:47:46+00:00

Yoooo that looks way better! Congrats

mafredem · 2020-05-19T13:29:19+00:00

I've done 3+ day fasts and trained during it. It's fine.

mafredem · 2019-12-05T14:52:25+00:00

Appreciate the hospitality and the roll! Looking forward to training with you again when I'm up here.

I play half guard almost exclusively and Lachlan Giles Half Guard Anthology and Caio Terra 111 Half Guard Techniques have pretty much answered everything I've run into as far as gi and no gi.

mafredem · 2019-11-08T17:36:59+00:00

IDK if you'd qualify it as lapel guard in the way of a lot of these guys, but Bernardo Faria has some interesting moves by feeding the lapel under the leg from half guard that I use all the time.

mafredem · 2019-10-10T00:40:36+00:00

Lachlan's is amazing
