Bjj Instructors

[bvermillion]

What are the requirements to teach bjj.

[Sean Dempsey]

professing the value of MT, knowing how to fight on broken glass, and realizing that Bruce Lee would win a UFC. Not going to your back and only using throws doesn't hurt.

(technically anything above blue belt can teach up to their level, and only certified black belts can give rank)

[bvermillion]

what belt are most instructors?

[Mr. Miyagi]

black
these days there is a black belt in most urban areas.
the satellite schools allow blue and purple belts to teach. i think a blue belt teaching is complete crap. especially if some his students are blue belts too. i have no problem with a purple belt teaching, that's much different.

Belts

You have to take what you can get. A blue belt is better than nothing.

[doubleouch]

A belt holds up your pants. I'll gladly learn from anyone who has something to teach.

[Szczepankiewicz]

A blue belt is better than nothing.

Not necessarily. Even a good blue belt may be a poor teacher. And the same goes for higher ranks as well.

Please keep that in mind while your searching for a place to train.


But I do agree with the 'take what you can get' par.
