Training with lower belts for me is a different game plan. Coming after you with attacks and submissions isn't really cool. Especially because I'm Black and you were blue at the time. A very good Blue belt I might add.


What I do is let you do anything and everything you like, let you move, escape, throw fake attacks with no finishes and make it where nothing you do works. Then after a few minutes you start to feel that nothing works and you will start questioning if you actually know anything. (no disrespect)


Sounds mean, but what I'm actually doing is figuring out what you know and don't know, so when it comes time to teach and help you, I know what it is we can work on. Gageing you level. Tapping you over and over does nothing for both of us. Drooped my ego and Got tapping people out of my system when I was a purple belt. lol


Anthony is good and way knows his shit when it comes to BJJ. Knows its history, origins, who is who and knows all of the moves.


For me, it was everyday 2 times a day, payed my bills, competed for 15 years. Now its been 24 years in; Its more fun and games for me now, than being the very best at it.
