Question for you guys: What functional movements do you incorporate into your warmups that loosen up your lower back, or help strengthen your lower back? My back was sore as poo poo this morning and I could barely roll.

How much do foam rollers actually help? I have and use one but I can't tell if it's a placebo effect or not.

I started BJJ with a blue belt in judo and got my blue belt in BJJ after 13 months of training in 2016. I have a 3 month old baby now so for the past year I've gone from training 4x-5x/week to 1-2x/week to hardly at all ( ). I'm hoping to get back to at least 2x/week sometime soon.I've felt my fight IQ has gotten dumber since I've been a blue, but I rationalize that it's because I'm opening up my game and getting caught more (maybe?). butros posted:Pretty sure I separated my shoulder on Monday. Guy caught me with a fireman carry and instead of rolling through to my back I landed square on my shoulder. No audible pop, and in the moment while it hurt I still had range of motion so kept rolling through the rest of class, but as soon as I cooled down it started hurting pretty bad right at the point where the collarbone meets the shoulder. I separated my shoulder a few years back (six years ago?) falling out of a tree during a bachelor party. Even up to now my shoulder will click when I vigorously rotate it while rolling or throwing punches. I stayed off the mats for a few months but during my downtime I did minimal rehab which I now regret since my shoulder clicking gets annoying (not currently a hindrance but I'm sure my older self will have problems with it). I would recommend you go see a doctor and take rehab seriously to avoid future issues.

It works pretty well it's just difficult to apply enough pressure to yourself to work out a knot and not tense up.

I wrestled a bit in HS, but have never done BJJ aside from rolling with a couple old friends I trust (and usually getting demolished). Just found out they just opened a 10p moon like 5 minutes from my apt so I might swing by next week and see what's up. looking at their social media it's only been running for a little over a month, I'm hoping there's some other fresh white belts so I don't just get thrown to the wolves to start.

It's the higher belts that are actually strong enough/good enough to not hurt you. My experience with white belts, especially the ones who've been doing it a year or two, is that they're super into trying to own the new guy.

The r/relationships thread rarely crosses over into the world of the grappling thread but read this one post from reddit I (20f) just got my blackbelt in BJJ. My BF (24m) of 6 months took it had it stitched with pink Japanese characters that he doesn't even know what they mean. He wont apologize as he was "thinking of me." https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3792330&pagenumber=2859&perpage=40#post483496645 Don't know if it's real since she claims a six year black belt at 20 year old in our affiliation (which is possible but only for the best competitors). I think I would have heard of a 20 year old female in our affiliation tearing up the competition circuit so much that she got a bb in 6 years.

Reading the whole post it sounds kinda fake. I thought schools that make you go through a gauntlet make you go through it at every belt level? The timing of things like ''you're a blackbelt now, go and teach the women's class'' sounds kinda weird. I dunno, it might just be me but the phrasing is weird.

Parts of it sound plausible and parts don’t. Having a weird semi-magical attitude about belts seems pretty normal. If she’s some kind of super-competitor she wouldn’t have a boyfriend who doesn’t train, because she wouldn’t have a social life outside of the gym. Maybe she trains at a mcdojo and the promotion standards are low?

Oh also my school does gauntlet, but only people with higher belts get to swing at you, so you don't go through it at black belt.

I think the gauntlet it's pointless hazing, just to get that conversation started. I basically talked my professor out of doing it at his new school.

Actually, while we're on the subject, who here cares for the gauntlet? I'd really rather be doing a shark tank or a half hour of rolls with all kinds of people starting me in bad positions or something. The belt whipping is just plain hazing to me.

I think it's stupid, and it's optional at my BJJ club, but I'm not going to be the only one who doesn't go through when everyone else does. I've also only hit someone through a gauntlet once, and that was because he insisted that I personally get in line with a belt, so  . Every other time I've just declined to participate.At Judo everyone gets a free throw on you. I like that tradition better - white belts in the front, all the way up to the black belts at the back! It becomes a theatrical thing because once we get to the senior belts everyone is is watching and expecting big theatrical or esoteric throws. Sometimes I feint something big and then just tap them down with a foot sweep when they flinch.

Fabio Gurgel was one of the first guys to do it, and this is what he thinks: He expressed his opinion on his blog (translated from Portuguese): quote:Perhaps my biggest mistake and that must have cost me hundreds of students was The Gauntlet .

I don't like or dislike the gauntlet. It's kind of silly but I'm not declaring it terrible hazing. I think people get too worked up one way or the other about them. We don't usually do gauntlets but there was a time when they were more common at our gym. No one ever throws hard except for your close friends. We've never had new black belts run the gauntlet. So that's another doubt in my mind about that r/relationship story being from a Renzo lineage black belt.
