thats like freddy roach.. he's a boxer and boxing trainer but gsp went to him everyone would love to go to him


im with anthony bjj is great for women specially on the ground... it's the getting to the ground that is the bridge they need.. akido , or judo would work for that... or good ole fashion wrestling.. I dunno but I find cauliflower ears on chicks sexy as fuck.. just saying.....

I dunno maybe I am old school but regardless of "the truth" of how good someone is.. I still respect the ranking systems in all martial arts...
Why would you respect the ranking system of Aikido? Hell, even BJJ is starting to get shady with fuckers buying their Blackbelts. The only reason why BJJ will never become a major McDojo is due to the one simple fact. Live Sparring.

Both you and I could spar and in about a minute, we would know what level the other one is. Truth. Aikido doesn't have that same limitus test that BJJ does, or Judo, or Muay Thai, Sambo, any combat sport.

What is it, like every 5 years you get a stripe on your Blackbelt in BJJ. Or was it 3? One of those. It's the same thing with any other martial art. Time in rank.
