Hey guys. I don't post here very often, but I was promoted to purple belt yesterday and wanted to come back and thank everyone at Bullshido again.

The MABS section on this board is exceedingly important, and it didn't take long to realize exactly what kind of a school I was training in.

I didn't know what BJJ was 5 years ago and was training in a mcdojo that I didn't really like. After many hours reading through Bullshido, I realized that just about every problem I had with my old school are the same problems everyone here has. Meaningless rank, little to no contact, questionable techniques, and so on. It was bad.

I've been training BJJ 4 years in November and got my purple belt just before my 40th birthday. My only regret is not having stumbled into a BJJ school in my 20s.
