non-pajama grapplers: What is the technical aspect of the suplex? I mean once you have the under-hooks it looks you just apply tremendous physical power but surely there are some little technical aspects since you don't see guys pulling it off too often.

Some guys and I were talking how we'd love to learn some greco-roman at the bjj gym because it seems easier for non-midgets than free/folkstyle but its hard to find teachers or instructional DVDs.

I am in no way a grappler of any kind, but does this help?

Not that I have a glut of options where I'm at, but is there anything in particular I should look for at a BJJ place, or any kind of martial arts school for that matter? Anything that should be a warning sign to avoid the gym at all costs?

I would try and check out the head instructors lineage and see if it looks legit. Most places will have that stuff posted on their website. Google the name of the school and instructor and see what pops up, either positive or negative. Sometimes you can look around at local grappling competition websites and see if the name of the school pops up anywhere in the results (although this can be skewed towards larger schools/affiliates).

Probably the best thing to do is to drop by and take a free class, get a feel for the place yourself, and politely ask the instructor any questions you might have.

I would be more on the skeptical side of MMA centric schools if your looking to get into BJJ. Not they won't necessarily have a great BJJ program, but those types of place is where you will run less than ideal grappling programs.

Jiu jitsus!

Thanks for the info, I'll check them out, and there's either one or two other spots in town.

Pretty cowardly of the IOC to wait until Blatnick's dead to remove wrestling. Of course, he would have just thrown those dorks through a wall.

DekeThornton posted:

Not to play devils advocate, but isn't it possible that wrestling is being threatend with being thrown out because it has become too tarred as corrupt even by IOC standards and it could be allowed back if it cleans up it's act and strange rulesets?

Then I would imagine boxing is next on the block since that was judged awfully.

So they bring in judges to make sure there's a winner if nobody gets tapped after 20 minutes. And the first judges' decision is a loving draw. Good job, Metamoris.

If you're talking about the art's relevance to real life? Yeah, a bit. You're training for a scenario where you're attacked by Hugh Hefner basically. It's not as bad as ninjitsu classes or whatever, but you're definitely training in unrealistic attire as deference to tradition/because it's part of the sport/it lets you do cool chokes.

Oh god no. They're knowledgeable instructors, but also a couple of hucksters. Recently made some youtube videos arguing that their online correspondence course was not only as good as training at a school under a good instructor, but was in fact superior.

As the only Gracie to win an MMA fight within the last year, Neiman is clearly a good Gracie.

I wrote up that Nicolini/Musumeci submission and got this comment:

Some Dude posted:

I don�t think it�s ok that just because your opponent is slow in tapping that you get to break their arm. I think it should be considered battery. You�re not just hurting them for this match you�re affecting their livelyhood in future matches, and all because they hesitated for what a second too long?

Seems like it shouldn�t be legal to cause serious bodily harm to someone on purpose.
