Hi everybody,
I've been training off and on in various MA my whole life. My standup game is mostly composed of Korean MA mixed with some boxing. I currently hold a 1st Dan in TKD and should be testin for my 2nd this fall. I am a newbie to BJJ and have been training for about 4 mo at ATT Coconut Creek. I'm starting to get smashed less, and I'm getting better at survival. I'm hoping to gain some knowledge from the members on the forum.

TY!

I've been training for four months now, I'm about ready to open up my chain of Taekwonjitsu schools. I can just promote myself to 9th Dan and become a grandmaster. Big smile

My style is so deadly I can't compete or spar because if I did I would kill or cripple my opponents. Cool

The questions been buggin me for years. I have a black belt in Tang Soon Do...then I moved on to Hapkido and then I moved onto Japanese Jiu Jitsu then about 6 years ago I started BJJ. I still strike and fart around with the old hapkido guys. My point is after you got a style down why does everyone still do Dans? Back before UFC they were relevant. BJJ is a bit different. The lineiage is still fresh so the Red Belt down is still a huge deal. Sauer and all the 7 stripe plus guys are still original and alive! Now if you said you were Olympic TKD gold medalist i would get excited and say kick this straw out of my mouth. Havent we moved on to how much you can accomplish and not how long you been doing the same stuff? You soon realize how bad you can whoop the guys that are stuck gettin 10 dans in 1 thing, when you become a well rounded fighter. I know a few guys that teach karate and boxing and all they preach is how effective they are...then 8 taps later they realize the truth.

My style is so deadly that every single combative tournament int he world has banned me, well they tried to. The last ref that tried to stop me was obliterated within seconds. Literally. Obliterated.

I agree with you. 90% of these so called grandmasters would get smashed by BJJ blue belts. I'm mostly getting my 2nd Dan because it's the minimum requirement if I ever want to open my own dojang. Belts are much less important than the actual skills you posess.

I wasn't going to bring this out, but it looks like I have no other choice.
