I believe we need to do a better job of accommodating beginners and folks who have no idea what BJJ is and what they should be doing. Some of these guys felt so out of place that it just wasn't any fun for them.<div><br>
</div><div>Perhaps a half hour seminar with someone teaching very basic drills (guard passes, sweeps) so they feel like they can try to figure out something.</div><div><br></div><div>Other than that, it was a great success. I had a lot of fun. Thank you guys for organizing.</div>

<pre>So we are still on for Weds - and I wanted to say thanks for coming!
1. Yes you'll have to sign a waiver to do bjj at INFILTRATE
2. Bas and I will probably start at around noon setting up the mats
3. I have a spare A2, other than that no promises
4. People will be watching perhaps, and some will be recording perhaps.
If this bugs you then please let someone know ahead of time
5. <a href="http://infiltratecon.com/schedule.html" target="_blank">http://infiltratecon.com/schedule.html</a> <---notice the date and time.

<pre>So just to keep people updated - the mats have been purchased. Team
Immunity and anyone who wants to help will be setting them up during the
day on Wednesday. This is the day BEFORE INFILTRATE. Plan is to set up
the mats then do some training at 5-7 and them go drink at the opening
reception. So don't arrive at 11pm the day before or you won't get to
armbar me. Even if you arrive earlier you still might not get to,
because I'm wiggly.
