Some day, when BJJ is as mainstream as other MAs, streetfights will start with all involved parties immediately falling down and buttscooting towards each other looking for a limb. Maybe you can be a trendsetter and do the same to your internet assailant.

J Wiggle posted:Any tips on not getting triangled or armbarred when in a guy's guard? Anytime I try to grab him and push him down to start a guard pass I get my arm taken, I'm bigger and stronger than most of these guys so I can fight it a bit but eventually I get triangled or armbarred. I'm trying to posture up but my long arms are such an easy target. There is no easy answer but in my school we have these positions when in someone's guard called Base 1 and Base 2. Base 1 in when you're sitting almost straight up and leaning just a little bit back. Don't spend a lot of time here because they could chest sweep you pretty easily, but you're too far back that they'd have to try and pull you back down to submit you (unless they're built like Stefan Struve). Use Base 1 to start passing guard. Base 2 is when you're pressing into them. You're head is next to theirs, your shoulder is in their throat, you probably have underhooks, and you're on your feet to add more pressure. They can't submit you easily, and with all the pressure it's hard to sweep you. You go to this when they start to break you down from Base 1. The area inbetween these 2 Bases is the DANGER ZONE, because they can easily triangle or armbar you there. Never be in the DANGER ZONE for more than like 1 second while moving between Base 1 and Base 2.

Don't try to mount, try to work from side control. I don't know why, but I find it easier to control the other guy and work for submissions from side control than mount. Since you said you were doing drills and couldn't submit them, though, what about going from side control to knee on belly to mount?

dokomoy posted:I don't love mount but this is pretty bad advice. Yeah I'm not gonna try and pretend that I'm a grappling genius, just giving some advice on what works for me. I hate mount because if someone bucks you off you're almost always on the bottom. Side control might also be easier for me because I'm taller so I'm able to cover more area than other people I don't know maybe I'm just stupid and should try to work from mount more often who knows.

Grab Your Foot! posted:Consider this: John Fitch is a wrestly dude who mostly seems to rely on his wrestling to win fights; Chael Sonnen is a wrestly dude who mostly seems to rely on his wrestling to win fights. Fitch is basically impossible to submit, Sonnen is hilariously prone to being submitted. Fitch trains in the gi, Sonnen does not. I don't think using the hardest to submit guy in MMA and the easiest to submit guy means anything. I think if Sonnen trained Gi he'd still be easy to submit because he's Stupid, not because Gi would patch up the wholes in his game.

Warm up is drilling wrestling techniques. Doubles, singles, high crotch singles, knee picks, arm drags, snap downs, shoot doubles and singles to your knees (I suck at these). Then doubles, arm drags, and snap downs from sitting guard. Then triangles, arm bars, kimuras, chest sweeps, and elevator sweeps. I think I'm missing some things, but that's the warm up. Then we do things from different positions. One day we might do everything from side control (shoulder pressure, kimura/american lock/armbar/arm triangle), the next class we'll do stuff from guard or back control. After that we'll go live from guard or side control, then free rolling wherever. It's a 2 hour class so we can fit a bunch of things in. e: the warmup is usually 30-45 minutes, so I'm definitely missing some things.

Mardragon posted:That's a pretty intense class, sounds awesome. It actually is really awesome. The main instructor wrestled in High school (and I think worked out with the wrestling team in college) so there's a lot of emphasis on wrestling. Another guy who trains there did Judo for 10 years before BJJ, so he can show people awesome trips and throws. He's also 270 or so pounds so it sucks to have him throw you and land on top.

Yeah the whole not rolling as a beginner is kind of weird. You ask if they know how to tap out and know what a submission is. They usually do which is why they came anyway. Then an instructor watches and if they're in a jointlock they're not tapping to and it's on there pretty good they'll stop the match for them and tell them to go again. After a couple classes you can trust most new guys to know when they're in something enough to submit before something bad happens.

I was sick and hadn't been to BJJ class in a while so I didn't compete, but my younger brother competed in a NAGA competition in New Jersey this weekend. (NJ is a bad state, the people can't drive and you can't turn left anywhere wtf) He placed second in both his divisions, and it was a fairly big turn out. Watching all the kids walk around with swords they won was kind of stupid though (i'm jealous I would have loved a sword when I was 8)

He does have a point though. As someone who doesn't do Judo whenever people start using the Japanese terms for throws/moves I just scroll past because it's not going to make any sense. I don't remember if it was this thread or the MA one in A/T, but someone translated some of the terms which was nice. It might help if someone did a writeup on a lot of the moves used in Judo, what some of the other Japanese words mean, and the rules of Judo. Unless someone already did this, in which case I would like a link.
