That's pretty sweet. Rickson is coming to do a seminar up this way next month but I'm too poor to go.Sucks too, just watched Choke with my son for the first time and I think he's starstruck.
Have fun at the seminar!
I think you'll enjoy it. Take it all in and learn because learning is really what you're there for. Don't mind the comp versus street thing that a lot of people bring up. After you get grounded in it, you'll start figuring out what options you have in different situations. Being a good fighter takes a lot of thinking. And in order to get your mind working on solutions while you're under pressure, you need someone or eventually a number of someones to show you alternatives and you'll need some experience doing it. There really is no substitution for experience. Eventually do move on to a striking art. A good system and trainer will work all aspects of standup including standing grappling and dirty boxing. There's overlap among the arts as well and there are valuable things to learn in many places. Finally, there are no guarantees. Fights have a life of their own. X move won't work 100% of the time. Again, being able to think and adjust under pressure and when injured is beyond valuable.Originally Posted by Dismas316
Hope your kids get involved in it as well. If they started in TKD, they should be really good kickers and BJJ will add to their skill set.
Enjoy and check back in periodically.
Ironically, Royce signed and promoted my white, blue and purple belts.
Have fun, my team and gym were affiliated with him when I was fighting. He's a friend of a friend.. Oh and if you wanted to strike up a conversation, he's really into firearms.
We will actually be going shooting after the seminar...if my Rex Kwon Do doesn't hurt him too badly. Last time we trained, I used the drunken fish technique, and it really got inside his SPOODA loop. :-)Ironically, Royce signed and promoted my white, blue and purple belts.

I am not aware of that technique.. I just punched him in the bawls like this:

You must not train very much then. I prefer not to touch other men in their pink underwear. What is the sound of clapping? When you can answer this, you will know the drunken fish. Only then will you become the Dragon Warrior.

You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance.
For those looking to get into BJJ, look at articles on how to avoid hand injuries. I just gave myself a mallet finger on my dominant hand ring finger. I was tightly gripping my partner's gi sleeve on the outside when he pulled away quickly. Learned the hard way on how gripping the gi (even when done properly) can lead to injuries. I read Keenan Cornelius can't even make a fist because his hands are so messed up!
Now I have to shoot with my support hand for a while and likely will have to miss at least a week on the mats. Don't be like me.
