How do I find the right BJJ school

**Tiny121** · 12-09-2009, 03:13 PM

What questions should I ask?

When I visit the school what should I look for?

Now that I'm getting into fitness I want to start training in something again. I had done kickboxing for a year but it was a very mild school and I cant really say I was trained much for fighting... It was more fitness.

So now I would like to take Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as grappling was always my strength.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Well it used to be bjj.org was the best but it's sh*t now. So I suggest you just tell us what city you are in and we'll give suggestions.

Grappling has always been a fighting style that has attracted me. After 4 years or so I'm going to put some additional focus into MMA to become better rounded.

The best thing is to go to both schools (Ralph's and Crispim) and take a free class. Both of these schools are the real deal so you need to decide which one focuses more on what you want and which one gives you a better vibe.
