Renzo Gracie for sure

For bjj: Renzo Gracie Academy, Marcelo Garcia, and Unity (I went to one class and got weird vibes). MG had the best instruction but you can’t spar until 30 classes I believe, or 3 months and I personally believe that is way too long, the policy might have changed. RGA has way less instruction, but still good, and everyone trains sorta hard (which I enjoy).

If you’re more concerned with being technical and safe, MG. At this point I think now being able to spar at MG, I would consider moving there for the instruction. Although they don’t do leg locks, which is a modern part of the game at this point and might put you at a disadvantage in competitions. To “everyday porrada”, RGA. RGA also has Muay Thai.

There are other good bjj schools around but those are the upper echelon in my opinion (MG and RGA appear on “best in the world” lists)

I train at Unity and really enjoy it. They have the best competition team in NY IMO.

Never been to Renzo’s but it’s still commercialized for my liking.

Marcelo Garcia’s is good, I visited there for about 2 weeks years ago. Since then, I think quite a few of their top level guys left so I’m not sure how it is now.

Any attorneys here with ADHD/ADD? I was recently diagnosed ADHD, but it was clear I had it my whole life. It did not materially hinder me until law school, and now it’s pretty debilitating as an associate. Since I have been medicated, some executive functioning has been better but it’s really hit or miss. Anyone have any success stories? Would in-house be easier to manage as there is less executive functioning (ie no timekeeping and billing)? I appreciate any response in advance. Thanks!

Having some severe Executive Dysfunction atm. I can't imagine that the patent attorney bowl here is short on the neurodivergent. Suggestions/tips/tricks/advice are all appreciated. I recently moved, bought my first home, got vaccinated, etc. - basically just a huge load of stressful events that are probably doing a number on my brain, but I also just can't seem to get on top of.

To be completely honest I really find auditing to be boring and tedious. I really only learn how to audit better versus learning how a business really operates/ how to do the job of a controller or CFO. The only part of the job I really liked was talking things over with the client and with the WFH that’s at a stop. Will things get better for me as a senior or should I consider hoping out when things look better?
