Nom num… didn’t realize with all this drama that I’ve trained BJJ 5 days in a row… Dafack… 5 days in a row…

Decided to take a break tonight and conjure up a new school, bacon, egg,  grilled cheese with mozzarella/fresh basil, & kettle corn chips for a dinner meal… yes yes of saturated fat… tonnes of fat…  love it… love it. BTW bacon fat don’t count lol.

I definitely forgot I should only be training on Suns, Tues, Fris, and Sats.  Rocked out Fri,  Sat,  Sun,  Mon, & Tues in lieu lol… definitely been distracted and a little perturbed since last week when I heard about a buddy of mine who would have had to relinquish his belt while visiting another BJJ club if he wanted to train… the Owner/Instructor stated that this was a specified policy of his organization that had a different belt system in BJJ that would make you start over as a BJJ white belt, don’t want to name names but…

McDojo anyone, I’ve trained at a few clubs in my lifetime, never lol… blood sweat and tears to be awarded that belt… to be asked to go back to a white belt??? BS… i can understand if it was Karate, Kung Fu, or even Judo,  but really BJJ lol…

Anywho, that being said, that organization who he claimed, he was part of got wift of this issue… contacted this gentleman and got him to remove a few things from his website claiming he was a student…. BOOOM… Verified. The ever changing website… I should have initially taken a screen shot.

Small win for the little guy,  I smell fraudulent activities, hopefully nothing else and hopefully his current students figure things out. Would hate for his students to learn about his washed down BJJ he has been teaching. Guess anyone can learn from YouTube right?

I ain’t no pit bull… the case above and below is relative. Those knowing what I’m talking about will giggle. Have an awesome night…
