I am in the wichita area looking for a decent school teaching either muay thai or bjj, and I found this website. I sent the guy an email asking for specifics about price, belt testing, class demographic, contact sparring, etc. and I will most likely request to sit in on a class if I like what I hear. I thought I might as well ask people on the board what they think at a glance though, thanks.

The domain name turns me off --- its unprofessional. That's my first impression. I don't know about BJJ enough to know what to look for - but sitting in a class and checking it out is def the best way to go!

 

Good luck

Yep it is unprofessional, but it is the only listing I've found of local schools, and the instructor merely listed his school it is not his own site. For some reason he and a lot of other schools seem to not be listed in the yellow pages.

 

Edit: here's an editorial he wrote, interesting http://www.stompingass.com/aboutus.html

Go there and see if you can sit in. Or pay for a month and see how you like it.

Well then surely Castillo's instructor would be on it, the web isn't THAT old.

Trainwreck Tiemeyer


wishes he was R. Lee Ermey.

In an email I sent about a few things he said:

 

"Official" belt testing is done in houston by Eric Williams. He's a listed black belt at http://www.bjj.org/a/people/williams-eric.html. I am going to ask more specifically about castillo's rank/lineage.

 

Apparently his class has a lot of cops and revolves heavily around effective street fighting, I get the feeling there's a few elements from other martial arts thrown in there. In january he is going to LA to get certified as an instructor in the "Israeli Kapap/Lotar system," which he will incorporate into his classes.

 

In the summer months they revolve around training with no gi, and in winter they revolve around training with a gi. Cost is around $50 a month, 3 classes a week.
