I knew what half guard, back control and side control were from watching fights. Sometimes we'll have green guys come in who know visually what a kimura grip is but not the mechanics behind it, and I'll let them get the grip and fuss with it for a few seconds before reguarding/sweeping them.

My original coach commented on that and said it is kinda nice that many people don't really need to be taught what the guard is, what a triangle is etc Not that they really know how to do any of it, but they already get the basic idea

The best was a few years ago a guy came to train who had never grappled before but watched MMA, but somehow thought that the point of an armbar was to yank the guys arm out of its socket, like pulling it away from their body. Then when I did an actual armbar on him he was like holy poo poo thats what theyre doing? Then i was imagining him watching fights where someones stuck in an armbar and him being like cmon... dont let him rip your arm out.. keep it sucked in

Pre jiu jitsu I thought an armbar was just a control position and that everyone who kept saying it was a sub was crazy. "How can you break the arm back??? You can't hyperextend it any further! The floor is in the way!!" Then someone did it with a hip lift on me. MIND BLOWN.

Has it been mentioned that Metamoris is supposedly back from the dead with an interestingish card set for July? --Marcus "Buchecha" Almeida vs. Roger Gracie --Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Satoshi Ishii --Gilbert Burns vs. Dillon Danis --Ralek Gracie vs. Tim Spriggs --Matheus Diniz vs. Yuri Simoes --Secret match If all else fails the main event is legit as heck and worth the price of admission, though I'll be reluctant to send Ralek my credit card information again. Pleased to see Chael not involved, though I wouldn't mind him on commentary. Danis and Diniz apparently being different people who both train under Marcelo is very confusing to me. Ralek confirms on the inside bjj podcast that he is in fact gonna fight Tim Spriggs for real no foolin. Decades fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Mar 24, 2016 |

Just a heads up. My teammate Aaron Milam, who owns Renzo Gracie Portland and is a blackbelt and student of John's is teaching a leg lock seminar at 10th Planet Ann Arbor today at 1 pm. If you're interested in the framework of the modern leg lock game from the Team Renzo Gracie perspective, I think it'll be a seminar well worth attending. Aaron is a great teacher and an amazing grappler.

I once tapped to a reverse triangle "armbar" because the dude who had it was incredulously strong and I was legit concerned he would dislocate my shoulder through sheer pull. I also heard rodger gracie pulled the sleeve off a guy's in a match once.

Do gis ever get miss-stitched? I wonder if that was a new gi that was bound to fail early, and Drysdale just happened to go up against Roger in it.

This reminds me of a gimmicky toe hold I always pull off when people take my back; it really only works against people who've never rolled with me before and aren't expecting it, but by god, i've caught some people i have no business catching.

Oh man, I forgot Tonon vs Palhares is this weekend. I'm actually completely undecided. I mean, Tonon did submit Imanari but Palhares is approximately five million times stronger, heavier, more explosive, will not have to worry about punches and I don't think Polaris does doping tests so really it's super interesting. What are people's thoughts on it?

# ? Mar 29, 2016 15:23 |

Obviously as Garry's teammate, I support Garry and believe he has a better more sophisticated leg lock game and a strong chance to win but every time I see Palhares I think that guy is not only in a different weight class but may be a different species.

Speaking of Tonon, apparently one of his training partners trolled a bunch of people in a tournament last week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRAGH6Mmahk More context here: https://www.jiujitsutimes.com/difference-unorthodox-disrespectful/ Apparently his opponent was cool with it but some other people flipped out about it. I have to say that I'm pretty impressed that someone can make that strategy work.

Gordon wasn't really trolling. We have a number of guys who can smash people from bottom mount. One of our teammates Sha is an absolute terror from bottom mount. The moment you mount you end up leg locked. Gordon was just using a riskier strategy.

Slight rant but I swear I think I'm one of two whitebelts with no previous grappling experience at my gym. Seems like everyone has wrestling/judo experience. It makes attempting any takedowns while rolling a pain in the rear end and is honestly a little discouraging, One of the newer whitebelts who I just met did like six years of sambo. On the one hand they're giving me good tips on the other hand if I try anything I'm basically getting dumped or tossed.

Yea I agree that is good, but I think after we drill takedowns during class they kind of enter and exit my mind because I never get a chance to attempt them during rolling. I feel like I really learn a move when I pull it off, or come close to pulling it off in rolling and there's no way I'm getting anywhwere close to a single or bodylock on my judo buddy.
