Hello all,
Long time creeper of the forum and the MTS videos. Obviously we are all here united under a bunch of commonalities, one of those being a love for JJ and all it's glory. My name is Ryan, and I am a JJ Junkie.
I'm based out of Toronto Ontario Canada. I'm a lifelong martial artist and philosopher, which is another way of saying that I'm regularly broke and must rely on friends' clothes, cars, and my genuine charm to get laid by respectable women.
Moving along, I have been practicing JJ for about a year while continuing my practice in Thai boxing and karate. I studied briefly under an awesome instructor in Toronto. While I enjoyed my time learning from my teacher and fellow students, I found a distinct lack of drilling and open-mindedness towards many of the 10pjj techniques and principles. Let me be clear that I am not smack-talking my teacher in any way. He is one of the best people I've met in the martial arts industry. However, he runs a big program, and can't give special attention to people with special needs like myself.
Soon I will be moving to Northern Ontario where there is less distraction, and more animals, trees and things that make me feel better about life. My fear is that I won't have anyone to roll with.
I digress......I'd like to know if there is anyone in the GTA (greater Toronto area)/Northern Ontario who is down to roll and drill in the 10pjj system.
Beyond that, i'd also like some info as to how I could one day become an affiliate. I know you're all probably thinking, "whoa, slow down boy, you're only a newb." Rightfully so....but I work like a french hooker when I find something I love. If I have to sleep outside of the Tapout Gym in LA to learn from the boss himself, I'll bring a pillow and some nyquil.
I look forward to agreeing, debating, chatting, and being made fun of by most of you.
