[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11:15:39 03/03/08 Mon In reply to: Todd Warren 's message, "Sun and Moon Dojo" on 13:53:50 02/19/08 Tue i do know the last one Ed Parker, think Ed Parker Jr was on the Karate Kid movie, i think well at least if you said Chuck NOrris i would have belived you he at least went out in public and said BJJ is the Best Hand to Hand Combat style,he has ever seen, has he gotten his black belt in BJJ yet?? or still a brown belt?? This is so stupid instuctors reninventing themselfs to the recent popular thing, before it was the Karate people calling what they did TKD then came the Nijitsu thingy now they Jump on the MMA scene, and the JKD learning BJJ and calling it the modern JKD. GUYS it is BJJ and MTKB still is hard to beat. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Sun and Moon Dojo Author: Rob [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:39:50 03/04/08 Tue It's your business what you teach, but to think that Team ROC is out to get you is a little on the crazy side. Also I'm under the impression that Team ROC schools are independantly owned and operated. That means that unless all the instructors get together for a meeting every week then there wouldn't be too much intimate details shared between the academies. Also, most of the Team ROC schools aren't in that close proximity to each other. I can't say too much about your academy, but asking for donations to start a school is kind of on the suspect side. I would figure that a bank would probably be the best bet to get money to open a school, or some investors. Teaching "MMA" is getting to be all the rage. If your training speaks for itself then don't call it MMA, because you're not training people to be MMA fighters. Have you had ring experience, MMA or otherwise? Do you plan on training people to fight? I'm just curious. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Sun and Moon Dojo Author: Todd Warren [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:48:55 03/06/08 Thu I definitely don't think that any Team ROC schools are out to get us; my point is that since I've posted here there has been a lot of challenges to what we do and all I can say is come check it out. If you don't want to no hard feelings, but all this posturing isn't necessary. My point to Neal was that he doesn't know if my instructor is a "bullshitter" or not because he hasn't heard of him. Then he said he doesn't know what the Team ROC affiliate is doing in Greensboro. That's fine, but then acknowledge that just b/c you don't know somebody doesn't make them suspect. It was also strangely coincidental that the day after I posted here there appeared an announcement about the reopening of the Team ROC gym in Greensboro. At Sun and Moon Dojo we are available to train folks interested in MMA. Yes, our instructor, Shihan Shameek has ring experience training amateur and professional boxers. Before our recent opening, we were private students and we studied for self defense. Now that we are open we are accepting students for a variety of classes and training; including MMA. Being that MMA is rising sport it should not be surprising that as schools open that some offer MMA training. I understand the concern about which schools are legit or not. But, as Jes pointed out in an earlier post, we are not claiming to make someone the next UFC champ. My promise is only that you will not be disappointed if you come check us out.
