If he is willing to answer and explain moves to you than you can learn alot from him.
Some of the guys on this forum are very young and really dont train.
I suggest for those guy that you join a legit school.
If there isnt one in your area,take the time to go to a seminar (may have to travel)You HAVE to get on the mat to learn.You can watch the moves and have them all figured out in your mind....but it will be to no avail if you dont have the mat time to make them work.Just like the wrestlers train and train to get good....so do the BJJ guys.That's why it takes so long to get belts in this art.It's all based on perfomance.If you cant make it work you dont advance.
Helio Gracie demoting himself to a blue belt is a perfect example.He is very old and cant perform like he used to.There is no room for ego .You just have to respect a man who is that down to earth about himself.
Train hard,train often.
