This was the first time I saw this fight, and I have to say I lost every drop of respect and sympathy towards Haisam (that I didn't even knew I had to begin with). And that's so true, I can't stand to roll with ppl like Haisam. Injury risk is pretty high. 😅

I love the format that quintet provides. I wish that more organizations adopted this style here in the states.

So I would be the black belt instructor, choose a brown belt from the Academy, a purple belt, and so on. That would be awesome.

Well, our guys compete regularly and are known at there belt rank. I’m not saying your wrong, but our Blue Belt just took IBJJF worlds (at adult). …and most of the meaningful academies in our (Bay) area, from CTA to Gorilla, also have well established schools/teams.
