Hi there everyone! I have been training BJJ for a few months now in Australia and I am loving it. My friends told me to check out this forum, and I am really impressed so I have just registered. Where are most of you guys living? California? Brazil?

Yella-tiger I heard you've been having -30 or worse weather out there. It's about 32 degrees C out now.

Thanks for responding guys, it is good to have some idea of where my fellow grapplers are at. I am really curious about how the training styles vary around the world. My typical class starts with exercise, then moves on to learning new techniques ie arm bars or chokes, and then we finish with free grappling for the last 15 mins. How does that compare to your training experiences?

Hi neighbor, im in Papua New Guinea


We have PNGJJ which is a combination of tai jitsu, BJJ and aikido. Our class starts with a warm up. Then we do some solo drills for the first 10 minutes. We then pair up and practice submissions from a standing position and then a ground position. We practice various techniques and then have grappling starting from various positions. We face each other on our knees or one guy mounts the other and then they start grappling, same with starting in someones guard.

We do weapons training so the last 45 minutes of the class is knife and stick practice. This incorporates stick grappling.

Where abouts in Australia are you from?

Bullshit. Shimoron doesn't train and can't give the name of the school where he claims to train.

Welcome to the forum Aussie_Grappler. I apologize for Shimoron's trolling. Just ignore him and he'll go away.

War Pig my friend. First impressions count the most. I dont think you made a very good one now did you?
