fukki been doing pretty good and staying consistent minus 1 week i was out sick. really feeling like im getting back to where i was before i stopped 2 years ago. not getting my guard passed by little fast guys anymore which means im getting some quickness and awareness back. not getting killed too badly by higher belts either in these last couple of weeks. no back problems either
. going to an abraham marte seminar on sunday to learn some big man jits. plus our stories our similar since he had back trouble too so i want to pick his brain. this is he.
Anybody in the DC area know of a reputable spot?
Not sure if I want to train Jiu Jitsu or Muay Thai yet. But I'm concerned with the credibility of these schools I'm finding. Is there anything I should be looking for?

Lloyd Irving's school was reputable til one of his female students got raped by 2 of his males and most of his best black belts left in the aftermath. He still putting out good competitors tho.
Ask their head instructors what his lineage is. That should shed some light on his credibility.
Lineage. If the guy you teach can't be traced back to the grand masters he's a fraud

We've got big guys at my spot o instruct them to destroy me and start out in side control. I'd rather a big guy over someone 190 200 solid and athletic. Can be pinishing
ive always been the biggest dude in class so i dont get to do that. even when its higher belts, i can always power out of bad positions but im not learning any technique that way. theres 1 dude bigger than me but he trains in the am. im 6'3 270 but he is 6'6 350. i trained with him last friday tho and i killed him
. he's a cop so i tapped him out for all my brehs that hate pigs 
Lmao. Most our big guys are older dudes or don't train a lot so it's not as bad as it could be if they were beastsive always been the biggest dude in class so i dont get to do that. even when its higher belts, i can always power out of bad positions but im not learning any technique that way. theres 1 dude bigger than me but he trains in the am. im 6'3 270 but he is 6'6 350. i trained with him last friday tho and i killed him
everybody always seeks me out cause of my size. it gets annoying cause i feel like the big fish they all trying to catch and release
i understand tho cause if that big dude and me took classes together all the time i wouldnt let him roll with anybody elseLineage is always available. If your coach isn't there his teacher should be at the least
find the head instructors name and just google it. 'john doe bjj lineage'
if nothing comes up at all, keep looking. theres some dudes out there with fake belts who learn thru youtube. i once saw a guy who HAD to be pretending to be a brown belt get absolutely demolished in a tournament. dude looked like he wanted to cry and kept saying "well i havent competed in 5 years"
everybody there knew he was a liar who got exposed. it was sad.

Yea plus people your size are the ideal threat pee want to learn bjj for in the first place. Like ok I can handle guys my size but what about these monsters
yep. shows how effective it is. when i first started out i tried to go ham on this tiny little manchild and he tapped me like 7 times in 2 rounds. mind u he was only a blue belt.
