Mekchu posted:Basically I wind up in it while working SLX or an Ankle lock and use it to trap their leg. I'm not very confident in saying I understand the core principle of it. I'm typically the guy on bottom to a standing opponent and get it that way, force them to their but/ground and thats where I get stuck. If you got 20 minutes, this is worth a watch: https://youtu.be/IpUtQ5KgUwA It goes over passes, and how to disengage, among other things. If you can break your opponent down to their butt or hip, your doing very well. Now you just need a few tools, and you can start dominating that position.

Lowtax hit (another?) woman. Idk exactly I've seen two other threads I follow post discords and there's a thread in gbs. I'm not sure if it's the effect on the crowd funding keeping sa afloat and the site goes offline or people not wanting to support lowtax and just leaving.

Can't believe I'm doing this, on several levels, but: If SA goes out unexpectedly, I say we use Twitter and some SA hashtag to reform in discord. Been 16 years and counting and I don't want everything to blow up.

Oh there's also a wrestling discord with a dead MMA channel that was made during the previous PSP civil war/exodus that claimed fatherdog. Basically if we all take the time to join a handful of discords and/or twitter gangs we can spread the word. I'm floating the idea of trying to crowdfund purchasing the forums from lowtax and setting it up so that future profits go to e.g. a domestic abuse charity. I have no further ideas and I'm not offering to run it; I'm just peeing that idea into the water.

Also to JaySB and Yuns, who hopefully lurk or at least pay attention to this thread. I would love it if you could join us there. I know its not SA, and I know its not amazing but you two are welcomed and I know things may not always be loveydovey but I think its safe to say we (the general term) still love and appreciate your posts about hugging people to death. I love every one of you regardless of how smelly your gi or rashguard is.

I joined your discord Mekchu but it’s hard to tell what’s what. Edit: deleted my question bc I found the channel Anyways, what’s your guys opinion on toeholds. Do you go for them in training? I feel like there is something kinda chaotic about a toehold, especially considering you can snatch and crank effective ones without controlling the knee I think (maybe I am wrong about this), i have been in quarantine and rolling with my brother for about 3 months exclusively as he lives nearby and is also quarantined, and I have learned by repeatedly toe holding him (hs wrestler with no BJJ experience) that it can be felt in the ankle, knee and even hip(?) although maybe he has hip bursitis Pron on VHS fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Jun 25, 2020 |

SHOAH NUFF posted:I joined your discord Mekchu but it’s hard to tell what’s what. Which txt channel is this thread? I popped someone's ankle with a toe hold and since then I'm careful with them. Like, I grab them all the time because I'm good at finding them, but I don't push them that far if someone doesn't want to tap, and I'll catch and release at that point.

I'm in the same boat for toeholds when sparring with friends. People don't trust spazzy whitebelt in the dojo, though. I think I'll work on headlocks and single leg takedowns next chance I can train.

Edit: deleted my question bc I found the channel Toe holds own, just make sure you have control of their leg before you dive on it. When being toe holded, don't instinctively pull you leg back towards your core. That's an ouchy for sure (as it happened to me).

I let my training partner dictate how hard they want to drill, it's them that decide how compliant they are. One time this guy showed up claiming to have training for many years. He didn't move or react like it. I was partnered up and we were drilling and he was fighting everything like his life depended on it. We're doing this front headlock roll and this guy is full competition level resistance, so I'm just ratcheting up the torque until I'm doing full strength wrestling style gut wrench on this guy torquing his arm up against his head that he's going purple fighting to breathe rather than roll over. Coach came and gave me a dressing down in front of everyone about being a bully.

SHOAH NUFF posted:I joined your discord Mekchu but it’s hard to tell what’s what. Edit: deleted my question bc I found the channel I used to be all about them until a tournament right before the lockdown started, where I broke one or two ankles without the guy tapping, and one of those guys eventually escaped and came back to win on points largely because I was grossed out by crunching his ankle *again* after he didn't tap to the first pop. I've popped a few ankles from people being stubborn in training, but nowhere near as badly as that one. They are everywhere, though. Plenty of guards put your legs in the right position to control the leg you aren't attacking, which is what makes the difference between a controlled finish and the chaotic ones you're describing. Here's Dean Lister showing one from when you're on top and the bottom guy is trying to play DLR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig5VZfHE1Qg There's another easy one from top half guard. The bottom guy generally has to straighten their top leg to defend it, which makes the threat of the toehold a good way to slip past a knee shield so you can start flattening them out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw8P8Y3Dft0 You can also dig for them from bottom half, or even capture them as you regain half guard from bottom side control once you have a feel for where your legs need to go to control the finish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU8GsNLl99U You can get it if you're playing SLX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_o_znlY5b8 I've even hit it from the end of step 1 of this X-guard sweep, although I can't vouch for it working against anyone above, like... blue or purple. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nk02F1eydHM This is a fun gotcha to do to white belts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU1SaOSm9_8 And of course, Lachy has some options for counters if someone tries one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pCKbDQt3_8

I spam this all the time like crazy to set up the pass with zero expectation of actually finishing. I think I’ve caught it maybe twice in live rolls, once against a guy who didn’t really know leg attacks and once on a guy napping. But is very high % for initiating the pass.

How stupid am I for contemplating buying this and wearing it to class (in 2 months by the time it ships). Put it on, strap some duct tape around my ears so it doesn’t slip off easily and start looking for toe holds https://www.underarmour.com/en-us/ua-sportsmask/pid1368010 im going crazy!!

If lots of people wear masks in public places this helps, because it minimizes those tiny droplets of moisture that come out of your mouth when you breathe or speak. But if you're grappling? Literally sweating in each other's eyes? The mask is less than useless
