Maybe not beginners, most of the time I won’t really be super proactive about helping someone until they have been there for a while. Man that sounds like it was a great time....to be the only white belt there, classic. they were so welcoming also.....none of them thought to not help me all of them were teaching me something i learned proper combat base and base squatting for posture retention I also learned single leg ankle take downs I still need to learn to relax.....my endurance is shit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshh.702 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Dope thread! Been really interested in joining a BJJ or Muay Thai gym over the past year, just waiting to hit some fitness goals before I commit effort anywhere else. Does anyone have any tips for recognizing if a gym is junk or not? I have one pretty close to me but I can't be sure if it would be a decent place to train or not.

fat ralphy Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Hurt my knee bad (MRI status) March 31 and just got back on the mats last week. My movement sucks but I still hold it down decent. I think we are having promotion in July - dude was saying we have some Black Belts coming. I dont really feel like I deserve it despite Brown for 3 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
