    I definitely didn't mean to imply that I think you have any kind of unsavory intentions. I don't believe you do.

    A lot of us out here (in Alabama)started teaching before we were qualified to do so; we didn't have much choice because the training options are limited. So we can see the dangers and problems of trying to guide others too early in your journey.

    If you want to teach I think that's great. But you really need to go through the right process first.

    True. The difference is we were bleeding, sweating, smashing, and getting smashed right along side those we were coaching. Its the only way to gain the perspective needed to do it properly.

    You're entire perspective would change, I promise. For the better of course. I know your in this for the long hall so invest in yourself. EVERYONE wouldn't say it if it weren't a good idea... I'm a 133lb guy with quite a few injuries... I can help you train the right way around your problems if you'd like....

    wow what a thread.......I have to concur for sure train even if it's minimal. I've dealt with injuries time and money challenges but it is true once u start u'll find a way, and in a real streetfight the attacker doesn't play by rules. Bruce, as a white belt myself please go with Cora to train where u can as often as u can, it'll be worth it......10th planet fam love I agree.

    Thank you everyone for your advice. Point well taken. Btw I am not a Predator!!!!! How can anyone of you possibly think that way of me? Did you think that just because I said I will train kids only, that their parents aren't there watching? Everyday of my life, everything I do are for the kids. Everyday I help a family who makes minimum wage to become financial secure. I provide careers to those with dead end jobs. Why am I doing this? For the kids. I know what its like to grow up poor in a foreign country. I know what's its like to barely making ends meet. So when I help the parents, I am helping the kids to have a better future. You know how many I help send to college? By me helping their parents set aside money for the kids to go to college, they are most likely to have a better future. So my whole life mission is to help people, its just breaks my heart to hear yall calling me a predator. Sure this Jiu Jitsu thing isn't my calling, but man I will give up this idea if anyone else around my place will just volunteer and open their gym for the less fortunate, even if its for just one day a week. Everyday Cora and I come back home from the gym, I see my neighbors kids just playing sticks outside. Nothing else they can do. I just feel like they are just missing out so much on what we have to offer. But of course no gym around here will offer them free access. But yall are right..110%, Jiu Jitsu isn't my thing so i'm done with it. Thank you for all your time and advice. Apologies for stirring up such a commotion.

    The last thing I want it is to discourage you from being involved in your daughter's life; on the contrary, I encourage you to get involved in a better way. Imagine how much stronger the bond will be if both of you are involved as students. You can take the journey together.
