Rigan Machado vs Saulo Ribeiro

[jeremysparks]

Hey guys just thought id ask for some opinions. Im in between schools right now trying to find one that i can compete under and ive found 2 possible schools that im considering going to either one of. 1 teaches under the Saulo Ribeiro system while the other teaches under the Rigan Machado system. i cant decide which system would be better to learn under and this where you guys help me out! thanks

That's a rough choice. Why not try each out and see if you like one instructor over the other

If it was JJ Machado, then I would definitely go with his school. He's one of my fav grapplers. Between those schools, I think Saulo is the more decorated competitor. But it really depends on who the actual instructor is, regardless of affiliation. Try them both out if you can and see which school gives you a better vibe.

Brent & Louis nailed it. Its the instructor who teaches, that matters.

yeah thats true also, i guess i didnt think too much about the actual instructor. Ive tried out the first school and will be looking into the 2nd this week. Im so anxious to just get started though haha

+1

But if Saulo is repping them, they're legit. If Saulo told me to eat my own head, i'd take a shit ton of PCP and DO IT!!!

If Rigan and Saulo were teaching, I would chose Rigan hands down. Best of the machados.

[Louis Ho]

Nah, Jean Jacques is the best of the Machados. Not that long ago, Jean Jacques was considered by many to be the best in the world.

Go to which ever school the head instructor teaches and is present for the most.
