Probably not a new thread - find the appropriate Brinn thread and post there. You may want to put a title on the post though to make it stand out. If it warrants, a moderator (like IIF) can move the post and make it a new thread afterwards - though this is probably unlikely in this case.

re: evidence
1 - make sure you provide proof - a link, image, video, website etc.
2 - post succinctly with no interpretation on the initial post - discussion, etc. will follow.
3 - be honest - if you need help flushing out something the Bully's are pretty good at it collectively. Ask for advice.
4 - only point out relevent names, and whenever possible give dates etc. for supporting evidence.

I'm glad to edit/proof for you.


If you want, send me a draft and I'll help you edit.

But the reason I'm on your profile is to tell you not to sweat the etiquette stuff too much. Posters on here tend to be a little dickish/abrupt, but you won't get banned - just mocked a little. Even the posted rules don't fully cover the nuances of what to do and not to do, so as long as you are posting within the rules, you'll be fine.

Not to butt in, but Alliance is in Charlotte as well. sucuribjj.com/ I've rolled with some of their guys and they are really well trained.

The school I train at is off Independence in the Matthews area - combat submission and JKD/Muay Thai focused. I'll get you free classes for a month if you are interested.

Charlotte is a bigger urban area than RTP, surely there must be some good martial arts right in your neighborhood that doesn't require you to drive THAT much.

I would check out this place, see how many adults they've got: http://www.judo-caja.com/

Judo and BJJ are easy to not get ripped off on. Just ask them if they compete.

Check this place out as well. This looks like an INSANE deal for $50 a month.

Yeah, I moved here from NYC a few years ago and I continue to be shocked at the amount of amazingly bad martial arts in NC. Still, there are plenty of good places too. If any of your family/friends are near the Triangle I can recommend a several places to you, whether they want a "traditional" place, something combat-sport oriented, or a joint that's a mix of he two.
