Is it better to do weight lifting immediately before martial arts training or some other time?

Saturday, March 28th, 2009
Caelestiel asked:


I have a lot of time at my disposal, but I’d rather train BJJ from Mon to Sat, with Sunday being an off day. I’m doing Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe. Should I do this (or any) routine immediately before martial arts or some other time?

Does anyone think that the belt system in martial arts gives students a false sense of security?

Thursday, March 26th, 2009
Aaron D asked:


I have always felt that the belt system in martial arts should be eliminated. Several reasons. First, students tend to want to get the next ranking and do the minumum just to get their sensei approval instead of learning what martial arts are really about. Second. They create animosity among students in the class that differ in ranks. Also they lead students to believe that they have skill they prob dont and are only walking around in a brown or black belt all just because the sensei likes them.
