Private Lessons

Could be...

depends on the cost, if they're my weight then they better be able to school me. So I guess purple.

Why are you asking? If I could pay my current coaches adequately then Id feel great taking privates with you.

[Jonrivello]

for serious it should only be a private in your game, if youre a big long distance half guard player and you kill with that thats really the only thing you should teach, any belt level, thats just an example but im sure you understand, the only thing belt should matter for is price, a purple shouldnt charge more than 60 an hour.

In time my friend I don't want to give anything away quite yet but I'm pretty excited about it.

you hear quite often people talk about how they are a white belt in this technique or a purple belt in another. i think whats good to understand is that belts are in all ways just an indicator or a guideline. when i meet a black belt and a white belt im gunna assume that the black belt will be better but the white belts favourite move might be an arm triangle and the black belt might stay away from arm triangles. so i guess i agree with what everyone else says.

as an add on, its also whats available. we dont have anyone above a blue belt over here, so thats that. and honestly they do a great job. one possible difference and this isnt true for everyone, but generally i feel that higher belts will be able to give really little details that just change your game, the liklihood of someone seeing the little details is higher when the belt is higher.

I think that it should be a combination of technical skill and experience regardless of rank for example if i was a purple belt and there was a white belt who is also a div 1 wrestling champion and i wanted to improve my takedown game id have no problem taking privates from them

At what rank do you believe someone should be at for you to be comfortable to take a private lesson from him/her?

I'm a White Belt. With Zero Stripes.

I taught a seminar 2 days ago in Blossburg, Pennsylvania

It was $20/student.

I had 9 or 10 students come in to learn from me.

Notable students with ranks:

A pro fighter who has a brown belt in BJJ attended.

A black belt in Judo attended.
