    Distance Learning?/ Any other ideas? help a brother out

    Yo guys,
    I'm hoping someone out there can help me continue advancing my game the 10pjj way.
    I'm a grappler/wrestler/MMA fighter/whatever and I'm running out of resources.
    I trained at a few clubs and got some skills and sorta reached the limit of what i could learn from them, so I started to look elsewhere.
    The other clubs in the area are full of egotistical dicks that hate on me cos I've done stuff like tap a coach/ high level student, beat their guys at a comp, trained at their clubs and asked a question thats difficult to answer or show a move to my training partner and have it work for him etc. word gets back to the teacher of "who i am" or "what I've done" and then get frozen out, I get zero teacher time and have even been asked to leave some places.
    I now teach my mates in my garage as my own form of rebellion but I still want to learn. I've got no teacher, no rolling partners at my level, no money for serious travel and there is only so much u can get from books/internet without that teacher to criteque and fine tune.
    How can I keep moving forward? I'm hoping there is some sort of distance learning I can do on the cheap cos I'm a broke ass.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated

    There is no magic answer for that one. When you go to a school just keep your mouth shut and do what they ask. Teaching there students something isn't a bad thing but if you are doing it while they are instructing it is anoying as hell. I am not saying you did that, but If I am running a class and I have 1 or 2 guys that are doing something other than what it is that I am showing them it is anoying. As far as tapping there coach that isn't a reason for anyone to be pissed. Also getting personal time with the coach/instructor isn't always practical either if the class is huge. In that case save some cash and get a private lesson. the MMA/BJJ community is small no matter where you go. So if you are a problem student it will get to the other schools for one reason or the next. I am stuck in Germany and run a class out of K town3 days a week. I travel a hour and a half away to train at Alliance in Frankfurt a couple times a month so I get my instruction/ass beating. Maybe you may have to do the same thing. Good luck to you I hope that helps.
