Anyone have any information on bjj in this area? I may be taking a job in Henderson soon and am trying to do my due diligence on the area. Boxing and muay thai gyms would also be of interest.

He was the BJJ coach for extreme Couture at one point. Forrest Griffin is a black belt under Drysdale. So some pretty good people have chosen him as a coach
I would also recommend Vinny Magalhaes. he's also an ADCC Champ. I haven't trained under Vinny but I've met him on multiple occasions. he's a really nice guy and he's highly technical In his video instructions.
Frank Mir's would also be high on my list.

He is all class, and one of the nicest people on the planet when he is not twisting you up in knots.
This is where Frank Mir use to train. He later trained with drysdale.
You have to work pretty hard to make bad choices in Vegas when it comes to Bjj.

Sergio was submitting me with what is now commonly called the Frank Mir lock routinely prior to Frank Mir starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Sergio has always been a serious submission hunter.
And he trained most of the original members of what became the Brazilian Top Team because he had a coaching relationship with Carlson Gracie Sr's gym and top fighters as well, even though Sergio is a member of the Osvaldo Alves group.Last edited by Dr. Gonzo; 5/30/2019 4:44pm, .

Everyone always thinks international sambo allows more leg locks than the ibjjf. Its a very odd thing. Its a silly argument I get into pretty often.

DQ'ing folks for a heelhook is fine. It's not allowed.
DQ'ing people for sweeping from single-leg X directly to the 4-11 with the intent to set up a kneebar because you are worried it COULD be heelhook is idiotic.

The stupid reap rule still is in force.
