My two daughters have been training since September. And before that, they did three years of judo. They've been coming with me to classes or seminars since they were little. I didn't force them; I just offered, and they enjoy it. I hope it continues! I'd like them to at least reach blue belt level; I think that's important for girls.

@James Driskill Just curious. Did you ask Master Rickson?

@James Driskill Yes, I just rewatched the video, it's true that his face doesn't really look like hers.

I've roll with a lot good guys, but the one who sticks in my mind the most is Marcelo Garcia. I've trained with him several times and each time I've been very impressed. His timing, in particular, is incredible!

@James Driskill yes in a sense you are right, because when he decides to do an action he does it thoroughly. I mean he really commit to the move. So "intense" ? : yes but in a good way. It's not excessive. And above all his timing is very good. Also it was long time ago (i was purple belt the first time and then brown). I just rewatched the video as purple. Damn I was so young...😅 So i will change my answer as the question is "the smoothest person you’ve rolled with". I'll say Alexandre Paiva. I was purple also. But I was really impressed because he wasn't using any force.

Thanks! Happy New Year to you too. And to all the members here! I am very happy to have found a community where we can talk, share and exchange about Master Rickson's jiu jitsu, invisible jiu jitsu and self defense. Thanks to you @James Driskill for putting this in place. 🙏

@James Driskill Thank you!! 🙏

I just saw your Instagram post. Really nice 👍 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DS_WJvIkTx-/

@Austin Pase "Henry's optimistic Half guard": what do you mean? From half guard top Henry likes to be almost like in side control. Is that "optimistic Half guard"? = half guard is a guard half way passed?
