Strong Points of Various BJJ Schools

[Mako]

This is a generalization on my part, but have you noticed any "strong point" or specialties of various BJJ teams, or camps?

Here are a couple that have been my experience. If you train with any of these, i'd love to hear your imput!


Carlson Gracie Team: Attacking at all times,
excellent guard sweeps (and even their
sweeps are offensively minded)
Also seem to use knee in belly a lot
more than other teams.

Gracie Torrance: Big closed guard players, strong
mount. Very position oriented.

Machado: Excellent guard passes, strong side
mount. Use more leglocks than others.

Renzo/Ralph: Very good at taking the back,
very aggressive, good takedowns.


There lots of other teams, that I just don't know anything about... Next Gen, Alliance, etc. Any imput?
