I live in Ecuador, my dream is to live in the first world and to teach gracie jiu jitsu. I work normally as an university professor. Modesty aside, I have a special talent to teach.

Don't, start and stay in Ecuador

[@DanielMartinez316]

@@1x1HealthyEnergybyAndrew Ecuador is a bad country to do any kind of business.

[@celesteabdon]

@@DanielMartinez316 But sadly, if everyone just leaves their country instead of improving it they will stay the same. You could do your little/big part. Fight for what you want, don't just "dream" about it.

@@celesteabdon in order to make changes in a country, you need to have power, without it all attempt for change is just a silly dream.

[@zachparade2791]

After you complete the training and certification, how much does it cost to be a Gracie affiliate?

[@graciegjj]

I love this idea and maybe in the future there will be more opportunities to make a living doing something involved with jujitsu.... But I've given up on the idea and I've submitted to the fact that we have to work in this life and our only options are corporate type of entities out there that are always hiring... I will always have love for Jiu-Jitsu in my heart and maybe will get back into it but I've given up and I'm focused on my job. I really wish you could even get paid just for being a student that's what I would love to just do with my life do jujitsu and be able to have food and shelter I don't even care about too many material things just one good phone that's it and I just want to do jiu jitsu eat and rest.. but it's not realistic as of yet but this is a step in the right direction especially for people that want to teach.. I will keep my eye on future opportunities.

[@emsantiago]

So, nothing about marketing, permitting, insurance, finance, or how to run an actual business?

[@JD2jr.]

@DAVID no, this applies to specifically paying them for their brand.

[@emsantiago]

@DAVID exactly. Running a school is running a business. Teaching bjj is the product. There’s a lot more on running a successful business than having a great product.

Hey Renner and Ryron, I'm a uscca member and love them, however they are putting out some embarrassing self defense videos that are going to get someone hurt. Could you reach out to Tim Schmidt and maybe explore the possibility of some collaborative videos? With over 500,000 members I think there is a huge market opportunity for the both of you. Maybe a civilian ccw holder class similar to gst. It would be amazing!

[@SoulRollerFIN]

Great to hear some success stories. Seems like a great marketing system you have. I bet it wouldn't work for my city in Finland. The atmosphere here is so toxic.

[@CoachTC23]

My friends started a gym in Helsinki, now they have multiple facilities around Finland. Same concerns over the culture differences at the start, but kept it going and now they’re the most powerful culture and community in the network. If you want it, you can do it! Especially with awesome leaders like Rener & Ryron.

[@SoulRollerFIN]

I haven't heard of any gyms like that in Finland. Maybe Gracie Barra, but they have been at it way before this. Do you mean a fitness gym? Those will spread easily with a good force behind it. Take Liikku for example. Fast becoming the most popular chain in Finland. No way to do that with a martial arts gym in my parts of Finland. There is one huge gym with a monopoly, sabotaging all smaller gyms in the area.

[@CoachTC23]

@@SoulRollerFIN Yes it’s for fitness, Training For Warriors. But maybe the Gracie university culture can carry you like TFW 🙏🦾

[@graciegjj]

Is it toxic because it's socialism or something else the world wants you to touch on more details... I sent you jitsu would work in capitalism and in socialism but not so much communism.. also jiu jitsu might work in crony capitalism but only if your buddies get into power.

[@SoulRollerFIN]

​@@graciegjj there's a gym that treats instructors poorly, has shady business habits and pisses in everybody else's cereal. That kinda toxic.

[@loko007hernandez4]

Can i take my belt test and do the teacher program while continued going to my bjj school not a certified gracie but its a certified school with stripes and great program??

[@noobzoar]

Yes

[@loko007hernandez4]

Thanks

I visited Johnny’s gym while I was traveling and it’s great. He is running a terrific school.

[@DersimLondon]

Bro how do you teach this online???? Is this a joke

[@delmarsimpson25]

What about sport jiu jitsu..elimination of strike defense..is that really jiu jitsu

[@JohnnyJitsu11]

I’m very interested and eventually I will get there in a couple years.

Haha man I used to Live in apple valley and my family still lives there. Wish it was there when I was there. I’m trying to get my 6’7 300LB brother whos getting offers for football into it he lives there still. But is it more safe than wrestling? For injuries?

[@SoldierDrew]

It depends upon whom your rolling partners are. If they respect the tap, it's safer. But if they're over aggressive or a dojo bully, one could get injured easily because of the nature of the joint submissions.

[@graciegjj]

You're definitely going to get banged up a little bit but it all depends.... It's a little more hazardous than standard exercise because you're dealing with another human being some people are more rough than others or unpredictable but it's so damn fun it's addicting and a great way to exercise.
