no im doing the 8 classes a month. cant wait to meet relson

Thats not bad..... I hate how the prices work. I know they are trying to get you in there more but the differences are crazy in the prices. I wouldn't mind doing the 4-8 classes a month if I had someone to roll with the other days I decided to practice what I learn. What do classes consist of? Is it drilling and then free roll or do they do conditioning, drilling and then free rolls? Do they hold class like a team atmosphere or is it just a class where they teach? Gi or no gi?

I can't wait till BJJ stops being the decade fad of martial arts so classes are like 70 or 80 dollars a month instead of 150.

well went to class yesterday and we practiced seoi nage,drop seoi nage, and a technique of of a failed seoi nage. also some open guard passes,man those are tough just need to practice i guess:)

btw is $150.00 to much to pay,for an hour of some guy,named relson' time:confused: :D

ryan,

i am doing the 8 classes a month,i made a deal with my wife to not be away so much and this is what we settled on:)
my brother and i are building a covered "pavilion" and going to screen it in and workout in there on off days

the classes are 4-5 techniques then drilling after said tech.
if you want to stay and free roll you can go over to the side as long as you dont disturb class.

they have a comp team with conditioning and such

brotherly atmosphere driven by seemingly caring teacher.

bolth gi and no-gi(once a week)

I didn't realize that it WAS Relson teaching, I was just assuming it was an affiliate, then I saw the site... so I guess 150 is actually a bargain.

relson is not the instructor of the school,he will be here tuesday for a seminar and i was thinking of taking the whole day off for a jiujitsu day-cation:)

josh lauber is a three stripe brown who trained with relson in hawaii,he is the instructor

[jakem]

so if you have questions put them here and i will ask relson after my private with him.:D :D

Glad to see you're liking the academy so far. I like the way the class format is because some days we don't even roll, just work the technique; which in my opinion is welcome change from have "IBJJF Worlds" every class. LOL.

qft.. some of the other academies i have been to were very sport geared but i think "i said think:o " i might be home. i really hope so...
