I'm looking to join either Eastern or Gustavo Machado, but have a few questions and hope there may be some current students on here. If anyone goes to either one, could you please PM me?

Rep or hugs will be given for your efforts.

 

I had to google wtf BJJ was. You had me concerned for a moment... sorta.

 

I was going to put "IB4WTFISBJJ?" but then I decided that if my question is misconstrued and I end up getting random PM's looking for gay sex, that would be fine too, I'll file them away in case this whole marriage thing doesn't work out.

 

I was at Gustavo Machado BJJ, but i haven't been in months. I stopped going after getting really sick and ended up in the hospital. But I plan on going back soon.

Not to mention though, closest friend is a good friend of Royce Gracie and Royce himself recommended Gustavo's. Its off Laskin Road in VAB. Its a bit pricey, $150 a month, but the I doubt you can beat the instruction anywhere else.

 

i noticed this place in yorktown http://www.rjjhamptonroads.com/

 

^thanks man but I wasn't looking for a school. Wanted to ask a question of a student at one of the schools I mentioned.

 

When it comes to BJJ and the man himself (Gracie) gives the thumbs up for Gustavo its a pretty done deal.

 

i say go with hybrid academy...bjj and csw. best of both worlds. a traditional bjj school is good for sport bjj, but to evolve with the game and for realistic real world application you need to go to a real fight gym. No longer a student there, but I did train there for a few months and I used to fight, but not on team hybrid.
