A friend of mine went to visit that gym in montreal and told me. That the jiu-jitsu instructor just sit there and watch the student instructing other student and sleep or joke around while the students are sparring. I train with Eddie Bravo and amazing jiu-jitsu instructor and he gets down from beginner to advance. If I was in that city I would had ask for my hard earn money back
