Yeah Fisto, I haven't put the Gi on in over 2 years now. I stopped training with my gi, right before I was supposed to get my purple though. Not sure where that puts me now. I just train no Gi / MMA now as that is my main focus.
Vinny Magalheaes is a great grappler, its awesome to have a world class BJJ guy like that to train with. Can you get position on him? Nevermind the tapping, but you have a good wrestling crendential, so I imagine you can get good position on him to set up some punches right? (you can answer me about that in PM if you want hahah)
Yeah the kids are going to be amazing in the future. The only bad thing is that much like Karate of old, the prices these kids pay to train keep going up and many people won't be able to afford it. We will end up with a BJJ / Luta Livre type rivalry (Rich vs Poor)
yeah positionwise I always do very well but, he's also the only bjj guy that can sweep me.
I don't mind the prices going up because I believe in the free market, I don't think everyone is entitled to anything but the good news is that as more and more people are interested more and more quality instructors will be making money and opening their own places so there should be a point where competition vs supply and demand settles. Vinny says I'm about purple belt level in straight bjj but, with my wrestling I can usually hang with most people esp if we start standing up.
