Still, a sample size of one judoka BB (whom, AFAIK, doesn't like or do a lot of groundwork)...hmm |
No, it wasn't Allen, it was his black belt, I say his, as for the 4 weeks I was there, there was only one. I can't recall his name.

Well lets just say there was one other thing that made me want to stop training

Oh - you're that Graham!
But I only saw you there for one class - what happened? Were you just popping in to check the place out, or did you decide that didn't meet your needs?
Shame, as there is some decent training going on Monday and Thurs nights, esp in regards to randori (newaza and tachiwaza).
Strong guys: we now also sport a few BJJ purple and blue belts.
I'd recommend you look at UWA....but it seems you'd prefer a less competitive atmosphere?
PS: Did you check out the Kawaishi folks I recommended?
The BJJ / MMA club there? Or something else? |
I enjoyed the training, but like I said, Peter was very into the competition, so it doesn't really gel with my "philosophy" I really just want to learn techniques to improve my Yoseikan.
YOU MENTIONED SOME KAWAISHI PEOPLE!!! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD REMENTION THEM TO ME! I HAVE KAWAISHI'S BOOKS, THE MAN IS A LEGEND!
Shin kyoku, deep breath...
