Before you sign a contract; check out Budoshin Jusjitsu at the arlington ymca. It is a great organization recognized by the american jujitsu association. Also, you can pay in two month blocks and not be locked into a long term contract. It's Japanese jujitusu which is basically Judo with wrist locks, finger locks and karate mixed in. Brazillian jujitsu is basically judo ground work. There is a seminar/tournament there nov. 4th all day. The cost is 30 bucks. We are a great organization, come check us out.

I don't really think you can determine anything from one class unless it is a private lesson.

If I had a choice of training with 6 BBs at Yamasaki or 2 purple belt instructors and a assistant blue belt with Roce listed as the chief instructer who lives in california....very easy choice IMO.

Hardball I would try a private lesson but they usually cost alot. Ipon it is all about location that is a ways out but who knows I might give them a shot also.

yeah that school only has 2 purple belts teaching and 1 blue???? WTF, how can they even open a school and not have a black belt there? Im surprised Royce or any GRacie would allow that. At Gracie Barra we have to have Carlson Gracie Jr himself come to the school and approve of the black belt there. I would stay away from any school that doesnt have a black belt. While you can learn the basics from the purples, its the details of the techinuques that seperate the good instructors from the greats

Oma It is all about distance plus the other school is in a mall. I will check that school out also it is like a 30 minute ride to that school. There was a guy right in the city teaching but he had to stop because of his work schedule.
