n3rdal3rt posted:Again my bad. It seems goons in both threads tend to focus most on BJJ so I was honestly curious if the question was directed towards a certain style for follow up questions. Since it's the grappling thread my question was a bit pedantic but like I said I thought I was in the A/T thread where the question would have probably been more valid. Sorry, I thought you were being sarcastic. Hug it out?

I'm having one of those weeks where everything is just clicking. Not getting subbed by higher belts aside from a couple really good ones who are also much bigger than me and demolishing guys at my level. Chaining together attacks, hitting new sweeps. Even subbed a 4 stripe purple belt today with a knee bar. Feels pretty pretty pretty good. I just know next week everyone is gonna kick my rear end but whatever.

I'm a week out from Nationals and haven't been able to train because of this ringworm and I think I have pneumonia. Go me. Do I say gently caress it and still compete? Or is the smart play to not do that?

We have a guy who used to say oss after literally every sentence the instructor would say in class. Enough people made fun of him that he stopped. Class still says oss twice at the end, once to Helio and once to instructor

Anyone else up on this whole Donkey Guard vs. Gracie tournaments fiasco?

# ¿ Jun 29, 2016 22:42 |

I agree. I am also of the opinion it is "their tournament, their rules." But it's moderately insulting to say "You can't use Donkey Guard, it's silly, in a street fight you'd get kicked in the nuts" as your logic for banning it. I think it's more than retarded that you can't heel hook in gi tournaments, amongst other things as well.

FlyingCowOfDoom posted:As a bigger guy (6'4 220) how much weight should I be putting on people? When I am lucky and one of the bigger guys is there its no problem, but when Im rolling with someone who is 40+ lbs lighter, should I just be sinking my weight on them? I feel bad because I did wrestle a decade plus ago in highschool so I know how to sprawl and keep control with my weight, but am I doing them a disservice by not going full weight cause they dont train against full resistance, or am I doing them a service by providing at least some resistance so partner can pull off the move were practicing? If they are a lower skill level, ease up the pressure a bit maybe and let them try to work through the technique. Also focus on using technique yourself rather than pure weight. If they're higher skill level, give it to em. I, personally, hate it when anyone takes it easy on me.

KildarX posted:Leglocks are like any other moves. If you lock it in and your opponent moves the wrong way and you don't let go he gets hurt. Like wise if you get locked in a leg lock and screw up defending, you're gonna get hurt. If you screw up applying a leg lock, your opponent is gonna take advantage and at least end up top half guard if not completely past your guard, and at worst put you in a leg lock. If you apply a leg lock don't be a complete douche to your training partners and crank them to max. Yeah but the problem is that there can be serious damage before pain.

Mechafunkzilla posted:...which is why it's important to actually learn and practice leg locks, so you don't get hurt due to inexperience. Also that's really only true for heel hooks. Wasn't advocating for not training leg locks.

WayneCampbell posted:I had three different people just stand up in my guard today, spread their base and lean forward. The one was making the mistake of keeping his hips super high so I just loaded him on my feet and spun and tossed him but the other two kept their hips low and kept driving forward. Grab ankles, drive knees into their chest, pull ankles push knees.

02-6611-0142-1 posted:I vaguely recall that Singapore has some totally baller gyms. Evolve is supposed to be good? Evolve from what I've been told is a really really nice facility. I want to know about their classes though, according to their website there's separate BJJ and BJJ randori classes. And while I relish the idea of taking my gi around the world with me, not being able to actually roll in it doesn't seem like it's worth it. I won't be in Singapore during a time when they have a randori class at Evolve. Ideally I'd like to find a place that teaches no gi since spats and shorts take up way less space than my gi, I'm trying to pack for 3 weeks in carry on luggage with a drone.

Yuns posted:You should train at Evolve because my friend and former training partner Chatri founded it. Also because it's nice as hell with an elite coaching staff. You can call or email them about no gi training times for the dates you are there. Yeah, I've emailed them. No gi isn't offered when I'll be in Singapore. I suppose I'll just clarify with them about BJJ vs BJJ Randori.

There's one kid at my gym who I don't want to roll with because he has the dead eyes of a serial killer and he goes 100% like he's in a fight for his life every roll. And as much as I want to, I can't bring myself to not be kinda nice to my training partners. He's kinda nice off the mat though, cordial but I wouldn't want to be alone with him

Bubba Smith posted:yeah if 30 is considered "masters" in most tournaments then I'm gonna gently caress up a bunch of old guys in a year. I can barely hang with the 24 year olds in my gym but I have no problems taking down 45 year olds on my way to silver & gold medals Well the problem is you'll be competing against guys 30-35
