This question goes more towards any Brazilian practicioner here, since you might know better since you train in this art. I just dont get why it would take 8-10 years to have a black at an art that is linear( but I have to admit affective) such as BJJ. I have never trained in BJJ but according to my eyes, it is all about getting the other dude on the ground and beat him on the ground. Maybe there are techniques to learn on the ground, but I still dont get why it takes so long just for this. BJJ according to me has no internal arts training and etc. it is just training 8-10 years in grappling on the grounds and takedowns i guess. Is there more that they do that I dont know about? Most martial arts takes 3-5 years, but 8-10 years?? for BJJ, or is it because they really want bjj black belts to be good so the future of BJJ wont have fighters that will disgrace the Gracies?

Thank you for your opinions.

I've heard that taking vitamins for your skin helps improve the texture, skin tone, and prevent breakouts is this true? If so, what is good to take? Is Zenmed any good? I'm trying it now and I'd like some feedback so I know whether to purchase more as its very expensive ($30/90pills +s/h). I break out around the same time every month and I'd like a little more control over it. Also, I need help with acne scarring! Please help.

I've lived in Holland where you can find a good/safe cycling path on the side of most major roads and there is no need to own a car.
I am easily in shape to go 12 miles to work and 12 miles back without breaking a sweat...or up to 70 in a day so shape is not the limiting factor keeping me in a car in Houston (where the path setup along major roads, aside from Braeswood Bayou, is a death wish for cyclists).

Are there any cities in the US which in any way approach Holland's level of seriousness/convenience for cycling?

Those people have some nerve. You make a decision to come to this country illegally, demand rights, amnesty, then protest and throw it in our faces. I have my feelings, but how do you feel about this?
