One more thing. There is a new gym opening up in San Leandro called Machine Works BJJ. The owner and teacher is Jeremy Adkins, who earned his black belt from Eduardo Rocha. Jeremy is a great teacher I have trained with for years, and his legitimacy as both fighter and coach is off the charts. This is a guy who is used to winning large tournaments practically every time he competes, and knows how to systematically break down a move or a position with a lot of reasons why, and very little "the hand just goes here." I can't vouch for him enough.
Jeremy's main goal is to provide affordable BJJ to your average person. He thinks BJJ has gotten too pricey, and his mantra of "working man's jiu-jitsu" shows as much in his technique as it does in his business practices. If you want to check out another amazing spot, just stop in, I know he is very open to ALL TYPES of BJJ. He has nothing against 10th Planet, or Eddie, or 50-50, or any other ideas people come up with, and is always trying to learn from his students while he teaches them. You won't find any rivalry BS there.
Anyway, his site, number, and address are below. Check him out, and tell him Harry told you to. We train together all the time, and this way maybe we can get him to start jumping on the forum as well. He is a great resource.
