A guy I know bought some slider tight baseball spats that are full of cushioning and look real good. Check those out if you don't need stability but protection

Has anyone ever trained at a Gracie Certified Training Center? Like how close to a McDojo is it? My options in South Carolina are fairly limited. https://www.graciecolumbia.com/gracie-jiu-jitsu-lexington-sc-martial-arts-self-defense/ http://deepwatersjj.com I know Guybson is legit but I'm not sure how they feel about Gracie students. http://www.spartanacademymma.com And there's another guy who supposedly trained with Pedro Valente.

The Mendes Brothers gym is right next to the RVCA headquarters (a skate brand/fashion label) and the RVCA owners are all BJJ black belts, so i suspect the Mendes Brothers have access to a bunch of photographers and videographers that work at the highest levels of the sport and fashion industries. Having said that, it cant be that hard to set aside a well-lit spot, film your videos at the right time of day, and teach one of your students how to set the colours properly on a video camera.

Yeah, I'm not sure what his stance is, I know he's not a huge fan of some of the newer Gracie generations outside of Kron. I e-mailed and ask about visitor policy but didn't say where I trained.

If you own a company that makes jiu jitsu instructional videos and you plan to sell them for up to $200 you should probably be able to hire a competent videographer and editor. As Neon said, it's not like there aren't tons of those people in the NY/NJ/MA area

I think the mendes bros have that stuff shot by the kid who runs their social media accounts. I don't think it's that hard with a good camera and a tripod as demonstrated by tons of youtube grappling instrucitonals, BJJfanatics has no excuse.

Well they do. They hosed up by hiring a bad filming crew. Thats about the only excuse that is acceptable though. If they don't pull the DVDs and re shoot them (sucks but if the quality is that bad then just do it), or more likely just lower the price then lol at them.

I spastically ordered the Danaher DVD by reflex before seeing the posts about the recording quality. The audio is horrific. Any BJJ technique video on YouTube has better production. I guess they're confident enough that the reputation built by DDS will get dudes like me to jump for it. It's crazy to think that they could've watched/listened to it themselves and thought "Yeah, that's good. Let's send it out like that." Eddie Bravo cranks out those Mastering the System videos regularly and the quality of those is fine (look into it). It's not hard.

It blows my mind how bravo has so much attention to detail in some things yet is so ridiculous in others. Like if you look at just his accomplishments... Successful BJJ competitor Very successful chain of gyms Very successful marketing his system Very successful BJJ tournaments Very successful students Apparently very high quality content production And yet when you hear him talk about anything not BJJ you'd think he's one bad month from homeless or the asylum.

I had nothing to do with the production but sorry about the sound quality. I would've told people to wait if I had any idea that the production quality was going to be poor. Not sure what happened there but I know they're going to address it somehow. Also I visited Beta Academy in DC this week. Anyone train there. I should have asked beforehand but didn't really plan the visit. Yuns fucked around with this message at 04:09 on May 11, 2018 |
