I’ll give some other schools a try and see if one of them speak more to me. Given the proximity of this school I was hoping for good things. Maybe I’ll even try just doing the first month out of a contract and paying the bigger monthly fee and see if it’s something that I do actually enjoy. I didn’t actually roll so that aspect may be what I am missing. |

Drilling is not dynamic, that's kinda the point, slow and methodical to learn the move. Stick with it until you at least roll several times, a good roll is dynamic, get comfortable with being uncomfortable. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By blownfour: I didn’t actually roll so that aspect may be what I am missing. Drilling is a necessity to understand the steps and concepts required for movement. New students at my GB gym are limited to drilling and positional sparring until they get experience 3 stripes or ~3 months steady attendance. Recommend you give it time and focus on the drills. Everything seems easy until you go up against someone giving resistance, so ask your partner to fight back progressively as you drill, from nothing to 90% |

Appreciate the insights, don’t get me wrong I understand that drilling is necessary, how else would you be able to learn something new. I just had the mindset of I was going to go in there and get smashed and it’s going to suck for a long time and while I appreciate not getting wrecked, when you hear from everyone that, that will be your experience and then your experience is slow methodical movements where you are thinking about things it’s takes you by surprise.
Edit: it most definitely did not come across as something that was easy. While doing the drills all I could think of was how the hell do you actually do any of this against an opponent who is resisting? |

It just seemed to be much slower than I thought it would be. Maybe I built this up into something it was never going to be able to live up to. I will say even what I went through was quite the workout. “Didn’t actually roll”? Maybe not for you. If you aren’t rolling, you aren’t grappling. How do you know if it’s for you is you sit on the sidelines? |

I didn’t roll because it was a free intro class and the schools have probably come to the conclusion that throwing a guy off the streets that’s has never done bjj before into the hands of a white belt who may or may not be capable of not injuring said new guy probably isn’t good for business. We drilled, I worked with an instructor one on one the entire time and we went through a couple moves practicing the motions on each other. It’s why I asked if everyone else just fell in love with it right away and what their experiences were. I came away feeling indifferent about the whole thing and I have no idea if I really experienced bjj in its fullest. |

No one gets hurt. We want new team mates. YMMV. |

Last June I started a GD thread asking about what to get my son into. I clearly remember it was @denverdan 's response that led me to seriously consider BJJ. I then asked him about the gyms in my area and he suggested I go visit one in particular. A year later I'm still here. My daughters started after seeing my son's experiences. The kids compete pretty much every month and my son just won the fuji state championship in his skill/weight class last month (field of 9). Fuji nationals are next month. He got his gray belt a couple months ago and he's still a beginner of course but seemingly has some weird natural aptitude for this stuff.
The kids train 6 days a week, 1-2 hours/day Part of me worries they'll burn out, but they seem to still have fun. I only do 3 days a week, but I'm to the point where I'm clearly going to stick around. It was fairly intimidating at first, as I suspect it is for a lot of people. TBH if my kids weren't there I would've quit early on (likely never even started). I'm the oldest guy in class and gas out faster than most, but part of me thinks that's somehow an advantage because it pushes me to at least try to focus more on learning technique because I simply can't just overpower everyone. At any rate, I started in my mid 40s and am proof that it can be done. Just keep in mind that you have to force yourself to push through the times when you want to quit or when something still hurts because of that thing the other day. That part has been somewhat easier for me because my kids won't allow me to quit. I had to take breaks a couple times (one surgery took me out for a couple months and work/random injuries take me out for a week here/there), but I do keep going back. Also, any other 10p people on here? It was sheer randomness that I ended up here, and I wouldn't have known the difference between Eddie Bravo and George Dillman a couple years ago, but I see things clearly now and I realize how lucky I am to be in this particular gym. |

I'm thinking about getting into BJJ to iron out some of the kinks in my game. I have good takedowns and clinch work, my offensive striking is solid (my defense, particularly my head movement, needs work), but my BJJ is fairly rudimentary. I know some basic sweeps, guard passes, and submissions, but that's about it.

They're doing a Gracie Survival Tactics class (for law enforcement) at a police academy in January. It's $1k for the level 1 class and $1800 for both levels 1 & 2. Worth it?
I put in for it through my department but I'm sure it's denied so I'll have to use my own time and money. (I'm a 3 stripe bjj white belt and have been training since 2019.) |

(I'm a 3 stripe bjj white belt and have been training since 2019.) I would do it if you can. That program is basic but will definitely help you solidify your fundamentals. The basics will probably be explained better than you have ever heard before. Rener is a great teacher and developed the program. I’m doing the instructor course in Austin late November. I personally wouldn’t do the online version mentioned below if you can help it. Live training and drilling can’t be replicated. |

Seems like IIRC correctly the brothers were talking about that at "Gracie Camp" down in Florida in 2012 and you had to be at least a purple belt to attend. May want to check on that, may not be accurate anymore. |

I had my first Gi class last night after taking about 9 months off. I was going to an mma school that was no Gi and just got tired of the meat grinder that it was and it was just that a bunch of younger kids getting off on flipping the old fat guy (me). I went to a Gi school a few months ago for a class and it felt very cliquy and it my style.
I am going into this knowing that I suck, oldish and severely overweight, ringing in at 320 and 6 foot 2. The coach was very accommodating and taught very well. I Ended up pairing up with a white belt about to cross over who was very informative, deliberate in his actions and I’ll be honest just pleasant to roll with. We went live and I was able to beat him only with my size and side control but I gave him many opportunities to get past me and I knew it. The next round was with my good friend who is a blue belt and the reason I got into it he gives no quarter and like to play with me which is fine I need it but after 3 go arounds I was left wanting to puke from exertion. This new school is conveniently located in my town and I hope it stays because with work and life I struggle to find the time. The plan is to stick with it and see what happens. |

I decided against the class. My department denied it so it's on my own dime and time.
As much as I know how beneficial the class would be to me personally, I was going to do it more for work purposes than personal pleasure; therefore I'm a little bitter about it. Maybe I'll treat myself to some new gear and save some time to travel for some open mats. |

I went from 0 stripes to 3, not gonna lie I was pretty freakin stoked to get some pieces of tape on my belt. It honestly surprised the hell out of me when my coach called me up and said I was getting promoted to my third stripe. It did feel pretty good when he has recognized the change that I hadn't necessarily noticed in myself and my own game. but heres to all the blood, sweat, aches, and frustrations. |

Gonna brag a little; I feel like I'm at the point where many at my gym, including my coach, trust me and look to me as a great person to roll with. I always took the term "spazzy white belt" seriously when I started 2 years ago and strived to not be that guy, and I think it's paid off.
I've been picked a lot recently by coach as a rolling partner for the brand new guys, including white belts and upper belts who are new to the gym. I'm also being repeatedly picked to roll with a couple of the guys who fight amateur MMA. It feels great. Things are really starting to click once I passed the 2-year training mark. Hopefully I can start going a lot more and I think my New Year's Resolution will be exactly that. |

I'm so bummed. Dealing with two groin strains and a torn MCL. Will find out Monday if I need surgery or if we're going to try cortisone shots.
I can't roll for 6 weeks because of the groin injuries and going to be out for a long while because of knee. And I just made blue. I really miss training 3-4 times a week. Not being able to train has really had an effect on me. Have some really stressful shit going on right now and could use the outlet. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SDSG: I went. I even went back again for nogi this week. I really prefer nogi to gi. At what point do you decide if it is "for you"? I seriously dread going and my nerves are through the roof before class. That's normal. |

They were brutal and took most of my energy for the entire class. Once the warm-ups were over, I was relieved and glad to be in class. |

If warm ups winded you, you just need to stick with it. I’ll save snarky remarks in case you stick with it and still complain!

We don’t have to do the warm ups. Owning the school helps as well. |
