Pre-covid that was 100% my plan against upper belts. Edit: grab a foot in a menacing manner I mean. I lump the gimmicky stuff into the category of "works once on everybody, twice on nobody" and I think they're good to know, if only to avoid ending up on someone else's highlight reel, but it sucks to see someone dive too deep into one of those techniques at the expense of actually getting better at grappling.

I used to bridge into guys when they had the body triangle on me, getting a footlock. Also a triangle from bottom side. Now that I'm a purple belt mostly rolling with blue belts these don't seem to work anymore...

Cannot wait to be laid on by an exhausted, fat white belt in about a month or so.

are there any good videos/tips on how to deal with your opponent sitting to guard as you have them in a front headlock and are trying to go behind and take the back? My quarantine partner is like a foot shorter than me and has a very flexible spine apparently and every time I get him in turtle/front headlock, as I go behind, he flops on his far hip and pulls a half/full guard, maybe if I am super aggressive I can get side control but even that is a partial failure as I'd always like to take the back when my opponent goes to turtle. I know controlling the far shoulder helps in sticking to them as they roll/flop to guard but I cant get an inside wrist tie or power half sorta situation fast enough before he's sitting.

Also sprawl harder and threaten front chokes so it's not as obvious when and how you're going to spin to the back

awesome tips. I never chinlock usually because I love the Schultz/anaconda choke setup, and I do feel like I should be pressuring his forehead right into the mat better. edit: is there any danger of hurting my partner's neck if I keep the chinstap too long as I go behind? Sounds like a terrible neck crank

CommonShore posted:Last night I had a black belt in an arm bar and he was doing a deep elbow defense; like a dog who sees a squirrel I started working a bicep slicer. While I was distracting myself with the bicep slicer he got his feet underneath him and he cleared his elbow. Had I just focused on maintaining the spider web control I would have gotten that arm bar. I know this because I've finished arm bars on him before, and I'm actually quite good at winning that fight when I focus on it. After the round I said aloud "stupid bicep slicers need the most attention." It was my lesson of the night and it applies to this discussion because it applies to any submission - ezekiel chokes, wrist locks, etc. On the other hand, if it's just practice and not a competition, and I know the high percentage move will work, I don't need to prove it every time. I'll start looking for alternatives to expand my game. The high and low percentages aren't all universal rules of technique. Sometimes it's a tradeoff between equally legit moves but you're just better at one of them.

Sounds like a terrible neck crank Just modulate it based on your partner's size, experience level, etc. if you're worried. The stuff I do with a chinstrap to the scrappy wrestler in his mid-20s would probably kill the skinny guy pushing 50 with a plate in his neck.

I think you need to block the hip and swim your way back there if he's able to sit into guard. You might be disconnecting a little too. A good drill is you spin behind while keeping as much weight on as possible while he sits to guard. You're looking for him to sort of collapse under you because his structure can't keep your weight and complete that movement. Don't worry about back or side or whatever, just focus on him not completing the movement. The simple reps help you get that feedback loop and understand what your pressure is. Once you're good there, he can start adding some spice with sit outs or granby rolls or whatever. Then you're both having some fun and it's a good drill.

Like, there’s an easy armbar from the bottom if somebody tries the can opener while they’re in closed guard. And if there isn’t a counter, it can usually just be shut down by pushing their hips away. release the sagk rash guard two sizes bigger than when I first asked in preparation for my glorious fat return to the sport of submission grappling

Purple mummy! Good work! Pron on VHS posted:are there any good videos/tips on how to deal with your opponent sitting to guard as you have them in a front headlock and are trying to go behind and take the back? I've been watching Danaher's front headlock series and he has some good preemptive gripping to avoid a lot of this behavior. He goes over getting uke's chinstrap and opposite elbow before lining up your sub as well as a few escape plans to other controlling positions. It's nothing exhaustive but he throws in some good ideas.

Thanks all. I weirdly had very little emotional reaction to the purple belt. I think I was 2.5 years at blue (no stripes) before covid (my instructor says that he had been planning to promote me and the other two guys who got purples right as the lockdowns started to hit) so when he called me up I was like "yep, there it is; anyway time to get back to the mats."

Have any readers of this thread made custom patches for their gis? While I'm not artist I'm toying with the idea, of making say 50 for our morning class. A quick look around the internet shows no shortage of companies that manufacture patches. I'm wondering if there's certain types or design principals that should be followed for BJJ. Like, maybe some of these methods use dyes that will come off with sweat, for example. Wondering if anyone has any experience in the matter.

I've done a few. There are two types of patches. There are the ones where they've printed a design on a flat material and then they've put a merrowed border on it (the little raised bit that you stitch through), and there are the ones where the image itself is embroidered instead of printed (and also has the merrowed border). The ones where they've printed on a flat material and then just added a border to it, are probably easier/cheaper and there's no limitations on the design, but the printed image will probably fade a bit over time from both sun and from friction. The ones where the entire image is stitched will last longer and not discolour over time, but you've got to design with embroidery in mind - thick shapes, limited colours, can't have any lines that are too thin. It's a good idea to get patches made that have an iron-on material on the back, even when the goal is to stitch them to the gi. It means you can iron it in place while you stitch, which is a bit easier than pinning it while you stitch. It'll cost a little more though. The best patches I've seen were made in china (probably shenzen): perfect embroidery, they arrive completely flat, iron-on material on the back, great price. You'll want to get a proof sent to you first before you print them all, obviously. You can probably get them done locally too, might be easier if you're only getting a small run made, but I found that the patches I got made in Australia tended to be more expensive and lower quality.
