What is your reason for requesting privates from just a blue or purple (especially in NYC where there are many many options)?

- Privates from a black belt in NYC = $120 to $150 per hour; once in a while is fine but not 2x a week
- Insurance is not an issue
- Injuries are an issue; I considered joining an academy right before I popped my knee, which made me realize my body isn't what it used to be and that training full-bore at a BJJ academy is not likely in my future; however, I would still like to train and 1-on-1 instruction lessens the chance of aggravating any injury
- Saving time is a big factor for me
- 60 minutes with a blue/purple whose sole purpose is to instruct ME while we roll is better than a typical academy where I'd spend 15 minutes doing sit ups, 15 minutes watching a black belt show a few moves, 15 minutes drilling with a white belt, and 15 minutes rolling with a blue/purple whose purpose is improving HIMSELF
- Carlos and Helio learned from Maeda at home, yo!
