Yellow Belt
Marvin,So true Brian. I remember going to a seminar and the bjj instructor when he walked around asked everyone did they pay their seminar fee.
I know of 1 or 2 people who probably shouldent be the belt they are, but bjj has a wonderful way of showing this. It's called rolling. Any lacking of skill will quickly become apparent. Which is a good thing.
Also I think the quality of instruction has gone up as well, alot of us, when we started traing bjj were doing postures incorrectly (some were even shown wrong on purpose:shrug. There is a lot more openness in the art now.
You sound a bit frustrated with some of your experiences with BJJ instructors. Can you elaborate on who these were with and who you're with now and what the difference is?
