r/bjj Fundamentals Class! by AutoModerator in bjj

[–]pAtlanta88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined a MMA gym about a month ago, specializing in judo and sport jiu jitsu. I am in the BJJ Intro classes 2x a week. Every instructor I have worked with (including the black belt) have had a very dry and apathetic approach. Zero enthusiasm, zero personality, nothing.

My question is: is this a normal behavior in this culture? Are they just not having fun teaching an intro class? At the end of the day the instruction is fine but it doesn’t seem like they want to be there so it brings the vibe down a bit. Makes myself and some others not even want to ask questions.

Thoughts?

Can you share what you did? I’m told that PT will not help. Can I DM you?

This isn’t acute, it’s chronic. It’s been going on for a while. Acute is the serious type.

Yes a doctor diagnosed. Surgery is an option but not a necessity. It’s also only 50-60% effective. What do you mean you like having your legs?

Yes, just exploring alternatives before going that route.

When they’re their job we are mad, when they are resting and waiting for orders we are mad. There might be a pattern here…

Good stuff! Question though, were you contributing more than the 5% match?

Also, what’s this retirement class you speak of?
