How many arts to do at once

[jubaji]

Just tell the first rabbit you'll give him $500 to kill the other one and bring him to you, then when he comes to collect, pow! you gots your two rabbits.



























Oh, and tell him to bring beer too.

[Garland]

Chase two rabbits,
Both get away.

Not necessarily if you're chasing them in a car with a shotgun.






















I get the witty psuedo-zen-esque-ish-like-thingy analogy...but seriously...hefenfeffer for all...kill da wabbit kill da wabbit...

@OmaPlata, I know someone who got his blackbelt in bjj in less than 2 years. I dont know what taekwondo schools you have been going to, but you should try going to a real taekwondo school before you judge it. Who knows, you might enjoy it

A BB in BJJ in 2 years? Fook dat shiz...somebody is turning BJJ into a belt factory mcdojo art...somebody want to help me out? Get me a large bamboo cage and a car battery with some wires and follow me...I have a way to fix dis sheezy, fo reezy, beazy.

I dont know much about it. He isnt taking BJJ anymore, he went back to his MMA school Team Quest when he got back to Portland.

In all honstly he could be lying, but I dont see why he would feel the need to lie to me about something like that.

My original point however, is that the time it takes to achieve blackbelt has nothing to do with the art itself. Blackbelt means nothing unless you make it mean something.

Dont know his instructor, but his name his Cody Blair. He got it in LA when he went to live with his dad for a few years.

Mmmm... I'll be convinced when I can see he's for real. Can you remember the name of his club, and whether he did a ground art before BJJ?

2 years to a black belt would be pretty amazing in an art like BJJ, where it's mainly about mat time, and there aren't any short cuts. Most players spend 2 years at blue belt alone.

If this is true that's the fastest I have ever heard of someone getting their BJJ Black Belt. Prior to that Mike Fowler got his in 4 (under Lloyd Irvin) and that was the fastest I had seen or heard of, and Fowler is a GOOD grappler. He could have won the mundials if he didn't get robbed against Moraes (but that's a whole different topic). Typically it takes quite some time (at LEAST 8 years on average) to get your BJJ Black Belt...

That pic isn't me, my friend. That's a pic of a rather beautiful musician.

I'm an ugly guy.

Really? Had he done ground arts before BJJ? What's his name/instructor? That's pretty amazing.

[eXcessiveForce]

I run this school, too bad my students don't know how lucky they are. they are too busy whining that we work out to hard.

[jubaji]

really!

Even more strange, I've gotta craving for bulgoki, kim chee and fried egg w/green onion over rice.

Stranger still, I just had that a few hours ago...!

[Tom Yum]

Everyone says that, but it seems like no one is at this mythical school.

Kinda strange...

[jubaji]

and why is it that 99% of tkd-ers are 'former'?

you should try going to a real taekwondo school

At LEAST get a blackbelt. However once you feel you are at a steady level in one martial art, cross train in ONE art at first, if you realy enjoy it and dont have any problems keeping the schedule up for both the arts, you can try a third. Dont overdo yourself.
