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 .

Tony Cecchine is up there somewhere, too.
How can you reccomend either school if you have not trained at it, met the students, seen how they approach what they teach, or even met the instructors? In your post you write "Better than Dino for the same style of training , IMO" how can you make this reccomendation? Do you even know who Dino is? Have you met him? I agree that you need to develop a base, but you are talking about something you have no firsthand knowledge of-the training at Carlson's school vs the training at Dino's school.
I say check out both schools if mma or bjj are what you are interested in and decide for yourself. That's what I did.

K , basically this was what I was trying to avoid .
Look , I dont Represent myself as being "An MMA Guy" ,. so bvasivcally nothing I said was going to be Adequate unless I agreed with your asessment From the beginning . I could tell that shit fdrom the tone of your Posts , and this has been a pretty FUBAR week to begin with , and I didnt need the headache . You Like Dino's students better , Cool . I like Carlson's .
Deal with it , Please .
Im a Musician that tours , and Chicago is a MAJOR Market . Im there often Enough . Im sorry we havent Met yet , perhaps next time ?

Djimbe, I mean no disrespect brother, and I would appreciate the same in return. All I wanted to know is what you were basing your opinion on, that is all. I deal with everything just fine. But hey, it's a good time of year. Here's to you and your good fortune in the upcoming year, I hope it treats you well.
