Vomik posted:Yeah - I'm not that worried about overtraining - more that time focused on strength training becoming detrimental to BJJ (perhaps?) I've cut my gym training back from 5x week to 2-3 while doing training 3-5x week. Right now because I'm lazy I'm doing all flexibility, bodyweight, and gymnastic training with a few kb swings thrown in. But I will never really have to worry about not being stronger than anyone I go against. I would rather take that strength now and learn how to apply it while being all bendy and minimalize injuries. The 2 MMA fighters I'm helping get ready for their local shows have really enjoyed it compared to traditional weights and notice a huge difference in their training as well.

Best finishes from side control (standard) with their arm trapped at your hip between your elbow and knee? I'm sure there's lots but I found myself there tonight & drew a blank

We had some fun with worst injuries a few pages back - how about a new one? Your favorite submission/KO/victory you have ever had in combat sports. Mine (non-fencing, some of those take the cake but aren't combat) is when I was rolling with a guy who was about half my age, maybe sixteen-ish tops. He was 120 pounds if he was lucky and I'm a solid 200 pounds. He had been training for a year but simply wasn't strong enough to lock me up in a submission. I was giving him space to let him work and get something out of the roll, though. After a while I saw him getting frustrated and mentioned, "Man, your so lucky to start this at such a young age! You're better than me and only going to keep getting better!" He then smirked and said in a SUPER GOON  type voice, "Well, I guess I'm going to outlive you easy...AND I am better..." and chuckled. I smiled and promptly arm in choked him from mount three times in two minutes. It. Felt. So. GOOD.

it wasn't a ko, but my favorite victory was an amateur boxing match about five years ago. some 'wires got crossed' and the guy i was fighting was a cruiserweight. i was a middleweight. i went through with it anyway and it was just the sweetest victory. no poo poo, i did not get hit once. in the first round i slipped this uppercut by mm and thought 'christ, that would have taken my head off' but i didn't get shy, i was just in the loving zone. by the middle of the third round i wouldn't even need to dodge, i'd see him start to punch and just counter him. had a few beers with the guy after and he couldn't have been cooler about it. roy jones can't be touched the entire ride home.

Really aggressive semi-pro at my gym going really hard in sparring but was a weight class below me. He got upset after I leg kicked his legs out from under him and started responding to every subsequent leg kick feint so I kept going under his checks and sweeping him until he just left the ring.

Favorite sub was definitely when another white belt from a different school asked to flow roll and started going apeshit. I spent awhile under side control with his forearm in my face/neck but then mounted him and triangled him. Felt pretty righteous. Also last week I rolled with "guy who won't stop talking and isn't very good". I don't actually mind since he at least doesn't stop the roll while carrying on. Unlike a lot of the older / out of shape students that will stop in the roll to 'show me a tip' as soon as I get an advantage when it is pretty obvious they are just gassing out and a want a breather. Anyway someone off the mat said something to this guy and he responded with "yeah this is crazy, we're so evenly matched we just can't submit each other!!!" Since he seemed unaware I had been going a little easy on him I proceeded to cross collar choke him inside my guard 30 seconds later.

Anyone have any treatment tips for a pinched nerve in my neck/shoulder? Just take a break and don't let any giant dudes crush my neck for a while? I'd go to the doctor but it's a textbook case and it seems like there's not much to be done about it besides rest and some heat. It's mostly just some numbness in my hand which I wouldn't even worry about except that I play the drums and have some obligations coming up.

favorite sub is the two times I've gotten people to tap to diaphragm chokes. Like barnett vs Lister except I'm literally over 100 pounds lighter and not good. I like it because I tell them "I'm putting you in a dark place. This is a mental submission" as I watch the panic in their eyes.

I would totally use the Fatman Choke[It's what I've heard Eric Paulson call it] way more often, but there is a thin thin line between compression choke and neck crank. I can only imagine it's also a poor choice of submission in competition due to some people being lame and looking for an excuse for a DQ win.

you have to be mindful of their neck, usually when I do it I'll frame it so I'm holding their head / neck in alignment. I've only really done it when I'm messing around a little. Usually people don't tap to it but give up an arm or back to get out, you only get the tap when you have it just right and they're already a little worn down. Its a legit thing though and you can get it without being fat, although it does seem to be easier when you outweigh someone (isn't everything?). Its also entertaining to use when people are very new because its so nightmarish.

I accidentally did this last night actually with the arm shoved up by their neck. I was in Kesa Gatame and he kept trying to sweep me and to stop it I started leaning back taking him with me. I knew it was super lovely for him, but he tried to suffer through it and finally tapped after he couldn't take in any more air. It was pretty cool, but hearing him suffer but not tap was kind crappy. I would hear him exhale big, then only be able to inhale half as big, exhale a little less big, inhale even less, exhale less, then no inhale at all and then tap. I think my shoulder was all up in his stomach as well as he quickly went into the bathroom thinking he was about to vomit. edit: Favorite submission so far was my 2nd week of training and I was rolling with this MMA guy who does just enough BJJ to be able to spaz around on the ground when he does roll (but still way more than I've done). He wasn't wearing a gi and I was and he kept trying to collar choke me and magically I ended up in mount and hit him with an arm bar. He was super pissed and most of the blue belts who he does MMA with just started laughing at him. I've never gotten an arm bar against anyone else since lol.

My favorite submission was the first one I ever hit in competition. It was a NAGA in 2008 when I was a white belt. In my first no gi match, I got a triangle and it was tight enough to make the guy's nose bleed. Got his blood all over my shorts. Still have the shorts as a kind of trophy. My wife thinks it's gross.

She's right but that's a cool story & trophy. I've tapped people very infrequently so most of mine are memorable for that reason. The best one that stands out is when I (a 3 week blue belt) was rolling with a bigger, stronger, more experienced grappler. He was positionally all over me but I was defending myself well. 4 minutes into the roll, I twisted away from one of his attacks, from below, and wrapped my legs around his arm, elbow lock & tap. Was very happy with that. Just reinforced the notion that patience and solid defending can pay off if the proper opportunity is seized upon.

My first ippon against someone substantially higher grade than me was really sweet. I was a yellow belt and he was a brown belt. I did a left handed osoto gari and he looked so incredibly dumbfounded as he was standing up. Goddamn did I feel good. Didn't get another ippon against a brown for months after that.

How important is inverting in the long term? Like, are there high level guys that don't do it? After a somewhat embarrassing berimbolo seminar earlier today I've been looking up and attempting to do inversion drills all afternoon with little success. Best I've been able to do is getting my knees about ~7 inches off the ground and exiting from the position there's some discomfort in my upper thoracic spine for like... 30 seconds. Any tips?

Practice laying flat on your back and bringing your toes over you and touch the ground with them, over your head. DON'T bring them in a straight arch over your neck as you might be putting too much weight on it. instead try and do a few sets over each shoulder, staying there and laying flat again. After a week of that drill I was much much more comfortable getting stacked and stuff. Still can't go inverted but I believe the problem relies on the fact I've got no abs and fall to my side once i've gone inverted and can't regain guard if I go against the wall or someone standing still.

Basically. Lots of rolls before class. I also have one of those inflated balls, that helps for general flexibility I think. I also got pounded for months & got used to being in uncomfortable positions (like being stacked) very quickly. I guess that helped.

Yeah I'm barely ever the right way up, y'all are weird. Try doing a lot of really slow rolling to develop comfort. Slow the rolling motions down until they're a progression of static or almost-static positions. 1. Slow shoulder roll: Start kneeling. Put your right arm flat on the ground down outside your left leg (palm up), and then tuck your neck and do a shoulder roll but real slow. Switch sides a few times. 2. Slow granby roll: Start sitting. Put your right arm behind you. Roll really slowly up onto your right shoulder (your arm will go flatten out along the ground to keep you upright). Then roll from one shoulder to the other, bring your left arm in, and roll down until your position mirrors the way you started but on the other side, and come back to sitting. Go back and forth a few times. And just do a bunch of stuff like that. Make it up as you go. The idea is just to get half way through common rolling motions, then stop and stay balanced at the in between points wherever possible. Then when people roll or stack you into weird places you'll stay calm and work through your problems instead of freaking out and getting passed while you try to get yourself upright again
