Wow you're in Chicago. Only Carlson Gracie's academy is there. YOu know... no one major or anything.
 
Like I said, dont know much about anything! I was sure there was some good things here :) hehe

Thanks guys.
 
Will be calling the gracie school tommorow for info!


How much will one of these schools run me yearly?
No idea about anything really :) hehe
 
Ive done enough with the Products of both schools to hold thisd Opinion . I get payed to show up in that Direction often enough ...

Im shot on Time today . So lets cut to it ...

The fact is that when we REALLY get down to this I think that its going to boil Down into a

"Jack Of All Trades Versus Master Of One"

Style argument , Ant I think Gracie makes better Masters of one , wich Ive ALWAYS felt makes better Fighters . I think that Platypus-Stylists get wrecked against ppl that have one core system with a little Blancing after theyve mastered said system versus someone that tries to do everything and the kitchen sink at once .

And We can go back and forth citring certqain Sportive Standouts on both sides of the Coing , but for the MOST PART this is how MOST HUMANS learn best . Are there some Physical Geniuses that break the rule ? Sure . But even in Sportive (MMA) Circles the top guys are typically thought of as one thing or another with just enough Training in something else to get by/Get back to their favored gameplan .
