I could help. But some things are just specific to a given process. Heck, I did not know BJJ used the term 'Professor' until just recently.

I personally find that annoying, but that's just my opinion.

That’s just because ”professor” in Portuguese means “teacher.” I don’t think it’s used so commonly among non-Brazilian instructors. At least, the only people who ever call me professor are Brazilians or sometimes individuals who primarily trained under a Brazilian instructor. Everyone else just calls me “coach” or Tony.

Somebody asked me recently if I'm a cook or a chef.

Im still not sure.

Remy Presas was called Professor as he taught at the University in Manila.
And in that case it was meant as a teacher as well.

Of course I agree. My post earlier was pretty much all about that idea.

Well its nothing personal but far too many people will far too often miss my points. Im fine with people disagreeing with my points as long as they get my points in the first place. The problem is when people miss my points.

Well in Gracie Jiu Jitsu, from my experience, an instructor is called a professor. You don't like that?
