Hey all. I've been looking at these boards for awhile since I've been interested in starting into some form of martial art or another for quite some time.

Right now I'm very seriously considering BJJ since I've watched some videos and from what I've seen posted here I think that I'd enjoy it more then most other forms.

Anyway, I was wondering if some of you could check out this site and tell me if it seems legit or not

http://www.4smma.com/

That is the only BJJ school around my area, and I've visited once to get some info on thier Aikido program (which didnt work out, left my # and they never called back and I guess it looked like a decent place to train.

Thanks in advance

Hmmm...

(4th degree black belt)

Do you really have to ask if they are any good??

Seriously. It's Carlson Gracie Jr.! 4th Degree Black in BJJ! Legit MMA school, you would be a fool not to jump on this opportunity!

I just can't believe their advertisement is so hoaky with such a badass teacher.

Its not Carlsons school, its an affiliate school. The inctructor is a Brown belt though, which is good enough. Look into seeing how many of their guys compete, and base your decision on that,

This is the best school in Kentucky! Dude, I would be there every day if I didn't live 2 hours away! They have 7 MMA pros that you could train with when you get to that level.

Just go! Go now! Stop reading this and go!

Take the wushu so's you can get the KungFu Grip (http://www.adventure-gear.com/atclassic/kungfu.htm)

Just looked over their site, lots of fighters and they all have good records. Sounds like a great place to train.

Gracie affiliate? *drools* If there were only BJJ in my town... *sigh*

thanks for the replies. I'll head there tomorrow and see about prices and whatnot.

IF someone would have just posted that Pic and asked "Shopuld I Train With These People ?" I wonder what the Response would have been .

Heheheh.

"Do you really have to ask if they are any good??"

He don't know the 'brand' names. :D
Brand names? Oh I meant lineage!!!

That school is too good for a **** nut like yourself. You must take things slow and make sure your goals are realistic. You should try ballet for the mentally handicapped. I know that still might too hard but at least you'll feel like you belong and not look like the idiot you portray yourself to be.

Heyy! That jus' gave me a great idee! I'm gonna have my name legally changed to Hoyce Gracie (but pronouncing the H like an R). I could open up a dojo and teach bj's and make lotsa money!

thanks omega. If I'm ever contemplating suicide I'll come straight to you because I know you'll give me that extra boost of confidence I'll need to keep me going. :rolleyes:
