Shamrock doesn't practice Jiu-Jitsu... he practices Prancreas.

yea, considering i'll be heading on out there with a grad degree and limited cash until i score a job, i mostly want to find something that'll sustain me but where i'll actually feel like i learn something.
that's awesome. from what i've seen, bravo's style lends itself real well to teaching. |

well depending where you live in LA you can drive a ways and train with JJ Machado's gym. Its in Tarzana but you might find it worth it to train with a legend. (buddy trains up there with him, says its amazing)

sounds like an awesome opportunity, but figure i'll need to start off moderately before I jump into training with legends.
just kinda getting stoked to give it a shot. |

since i'm not lookin to go into it professionally, think I'll try and make my way on out there.
i think i might have actually passed it a few times while out in LA.
appreciate it. |

wrong way to think bro. train with the best to make yourself the best, no matter where you go, if its a legit BJJ gym you will be getting your ass kicked all the time, especially at the beginning. but thats how it goes..
to train under a great coach and BJJ player, it'll enhance your game because he'll be passing on to you what he knows.

10th more likely.
i have a buddy of mine looking into a couple of places he went to way back in the day.
but seems with the overwhelming support here for 10th planet, I need to at least check it out. |

Completely see where you're coming from man. But what I am saying here is not so much being afraid to get my ass kicked, but rather coming up with a long term plan to train. I'm mostly looking at it from a hobby standpoint/way to get back into shape.
The training under great coaches is more of a practicality sort of thing (i.e. it'll run me up a few bills when cash flow will be rough).
But yea, I completely get what you're saying.
Believe me, I'm all about going balls to the wall. But in this scenario, I want to start off smart. |
