Roger Gracie is the most technically sound BJJ (with gi) player ever. He's absolutely fantastic without the gi, he has decent reach, and very bad striking. He has won everything that matters in grappling, a couple of times. Jacare is the second brazilian to ever workout. He has won everything, and found ways to beat Roger on points a few times (but he has lost the majority of their meetings). His striking is decent, but his chin is very suspect. Marcelo Garcia is dead or something. Who cares.

Acinonyx posted:Do yourself a favor and get a mouth guard from your dentist. Best $20 I ever spent. People don't even know I have it in because it fits so well and doesn't affect my breathing or speech (mine is just the upper). I thought just the upper didn't provide any protection against having your brains scrambled.

colonel_korn posted:For grappling all you really need is something that will prevent your teeth from chipping if you catch a stray elbow or something. i don't have access to my online journals right now but the literature is pretty split on the use of mouthguards to help prevent concussions when wrestling.

"weightlifting" is more useful for MMA than "brazilian jiu-jitsu" as evidenced by lesnar/mir II.

there are only six moves in bjj so if it was taught in an effective way everyone would have a blackbelt in 2 months and renzo gracie wouldn't be able to be that fat anymore.

imtheism posted:Also, there are a lot of crappy blackbelts out there now. Getting a BB in bjj 10 years ago was an amazing amount of work. Even 5 years ago, getting a BB from a respected teacher was pretty tough. While still better than pretty much any other martial art, the bjj lineage is starting to break down and become more about making money/belt factories for the masses than it is staying true to the sport. except a lot of those "bad" black belts now would completely tool the blackbelts from 15 years ago.

Yuns posted:Other stuff that has gotten guys dq'd or threatened with dq include not wearing underwear (Bill Cooper lost in the finals of the Mundials brown belt absolute for this after he got his pants pulled down exposing himself), attacking your opponent after losing a match (Samuel Braga lost a silver medal for this), wrong colored belt (Koral purple belts are too light and so people were forced to change to a darker belt but I don't think anyone was actually dq'd), etc. IBJJF runs a relatively tight ship. DQ (showed dick)

Super weird getting the bad arm shoved across your throat / chin - couldn't really hand fight my way out of it.

Xguard86 posted:I think you have to make a distinction between guys that just don't know better, and actual assholes. A lot of people just don't get it and will figure things out in time. A smaller number are straight up jerks with terrible ego problems. The nice thing is that the straight up jerks usually quit in a month, or remain white belts for 2 years then give up and quit. actually the dude who says "let's roll light" then ends up spitting and sputtering while trying to rape choke you is the only cool guy in the gym

Bohemian Nights posted:It's not like a "bodydrop hipthrow" or whatever would make more sense than something in japanese. If I care enough about the post to wonder what a word means, I just google it, and there's usually a ton of animated gifs or videoes available immediately. actually it would make a lot more sense because i know what body, drop, hip and throw mean.

Thoguh posted:What is a "guard" and why do I want to "get past" it? a guard is something that exists to protect from harm or danger. you would like to get past it to cause harm or danger. your motivation for this is some kind of social issue + you are really upset about this weird rash on your left ball

Thoguh posted:My point is that every activity, be it knitting or BJJ, has a specialized vocabulary. Bitching about people using that vocabulary rather than just ignoring the posts or looking it up is stupid. There's even a link in the OP to Judoinfo, which breaks down every single technique and also every single japanese word used. i learned knitting by 1p2k sorta thing because purl and knit are words that exist in english.

but it does make sense if its standard internationally i.e. polish guys are calling it nwaza or whatever. it just seems needlessly burdensome, but if the reason is "just because" then the reason is "just because" i asked an earnest question as to why people refer to judo terms by their japanese names (when nobody ever posts about BJJ using brazillian names etc.). i don't know why you guys got so upset.
