I took some Aikido for a while. If you are short and skinny it's probably a good style... it focuses on redirection of energy instead of brute force, so you don't have to be strong to be good at it. One of my sensei's once was this old woman who looked like she should be teaching kindergarten, and she could friggin' throw me or anyone else across the room. Edit: Well, it's cool even if you're not skinny, heh. Btw, it also focuses on nonviolence. + Show Spoiler + Playing cello is probably cooler and more useful than anything else in this thread. | ||

I've already used bjj/wrestling in real life to defend myself/others twice...I don't think playing the cello in those situations would have helped anyone. edit: lol at you getting thrown by an old lady. | ||

He's supposed to speak fluent english, he has crazy bjj skills, and he's the teacher of one of the best grapplers ever (Marcelo Garcia). Nice, I'll search for him. And since I'm Brazilian, no problem if he does not speaks english  I also heard that Macaco Gold Team is good, and it is in Sao Paulo too. Thanks for the info statix. | ||

Amateur MMA fighter 2001-2004. Modest comeback in 2006. My takedowns are terrible. Here's a random "street fight" I was in. There weren't any rules so to speak, but we were just fighting for kicks. And yes, streetfighting is "stupid" but he had knocked out a buddy of mine that day, and I thought I might take a turn. I was pretty beat up at the time as we had fought for a few minutes before that. (I'm the little guy) | ||

We knew you were lying then and I know you're lying now. If that really was you in that video you're not a blue belt. A blue belt wouldn't get taken down and land on the shitty part of side control. A blue belt wouldn't flop his legs around for 3 second and then try to get to guard. A blue belt wouldn't completely jump over a guy to take his back. Just stop. edit: On April 07 2010 08:05 nbMifu wrote: Nice, I'll search for him.

Honestly you're not going to go wrong with any BJJ school in Sao Paulo. If I were you though I'd definitely go to Gurgel's just for a chance to meet Marcelo. The guy weighs like 160 lbs and tears through absolute divisions. | ||

We've just hired a new coach who specializes in Muay Thai, so I'll actually be getting some striking experience now, although my love is still with BJJ. | ||
