Seltzer posted:Slight rant but I swear I think I'm one of two whitebelts with no previous grappling experience at my gym. Seems like everyone has wrestling/judo experience. It makes attempting any takedowns while rolling a pain in the rear end and is honestly a little discouraging, One of the newer whitebelts who I just met did like six years of sambo. On the one hand they're giving me good tips on the other hand if I try anything I'm basically getting dumped or tossed. This is a good thing, if for any other reason then it means you shouldn't have any spazzy white belts to injure you/be injured by you.

Decades posted:Am I the only one who finds it crazy that there are still sub only events without tiebreakers? I enjoyed most of Polaris, but all 8 main card matches would've been way more interesting with the knowledge that there were overtime rounds at the end of them. Not saying they need to replicate EBI's rules exactly (they probably should), but gently caress, try something. In the event of a tie, both participants will be reset to standing. First one to touch the ground with anything but their palms or feet shall be declared a loser. 3 minute time limit.

Welp tonight I accidentally went night-night for the first time after trying to do a back door escape vs a baseball bat choke grip and ended up on top of the guys back which made the choke go in really really tight, rather than forcing him to let go of it. I woke up seconds later oddly refreshed with the sounds of the ocean in my ear. So a valuable lesson was learned.

Personally I believe these guys need to be takin out back and shot in the knee for being humongous tools. You on the other hand sunk a submission and you started cranking it harder when he wouldn't tap, that's pretty reasonable. If the guys gonna be dumb, he's gotta be tough.

origami posted:It's a combat sport; you need to apply the submission with force. I guess I'm just too much of a pussy for competition then  ?There's a difference between say, catching a Kimura from north south bringing the arm up and twisting in a forceful controlled manner till he taps, and catching a kimura from north south, bringing the arm up, and twisting your body like you're starting a lawn mower and blowing out the dudes shoulder before he has a chance to tap. You don't have to be nice to your opponent, but you don't have to put him through a potential surgery if you can avoid it.

I had my first roll with a spazzy new white belt recently. I've been doing Bjj constantly for almost two years and this is the first time Ive had anyone try to earnestly hooker choke me from inside of my closed guard I was so shocked it was happening it took me a few seconds to react and used a reverse armbar, and I felt the spirit of jiujitsu flow through me.

spandexcajun posted:, I guess I just wanted to know what other folks think of leglocks in general, at any level (I'm in no hurry to have my knees destroyed, I old and frail). 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.

CommonShore posted:Skulls, ninjas, samurai, comic book poo poo, and anime. I get that BJJ has roots in eastern marital arts, but the orientalist themes are way overdone. And the common themes so often ooze of "I'm worried that wearing tights is gay so I want to wear something as tough-looking as possible." Agreed. My favorite Rashguard has a "Tales from the Crypt" sorta comic on it. I like stuff that is light hearted or comical and will go out of my way to buy gear that has that sorta stuff on it.

I was listening to a Tom DeBlass interview recently where he said he could give 95% of the bjj population an outside heel hook and they wouldn't be able to finish on him, I want to learn that. Some people have rubber feet that you can contort into pretty sick directions and they won't feel anything and be fine unless you rip the crap out of it. I dunno wether to envy these guys or pity them.

I don't think I'd ever attempt to finish a neck crank, jaw lock, toe hold, or leg lock. Would finish chokes and arm attacks if he just wouldn't tap at all after giving him gradual pressure. My coach says, in competition, worry about protecting yourself, don't try to go out and end the other guys life or try to break him, but don't lose sleep if the dude won't tap if you give him an opportunity and you end up breaking something Thinking about it I have seen a few times at the blue belt and nogi equivalent where it looked a dude just straight up ripped the dudes arm off. I won't say I didn't hope some karma went back at him if he did it on purpose or couldn't control himself. Defenestrategy fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Aug 13, 2016 |

omoplata question: So I go for an omoplata and immediately grab the belt when I make the turn to prevent my opponent from going over his shoulder. I sit up, and his hand is pretty much right in front of me. For Kicks I decide to instead of grabbing his opposite shoulder and lifting up to finish the arm lock, I decide to finish this via wrist lock, is there a down side or a thing higher level BJJ guys do when they've been omoplota'd that would prevent the Wristlock naturally or is this a legit alternative?

Nierbo posted:This is the last one, I promise: Out of all of the things you could have posted there is actually not much to be mad about here. The guard opening is pretty good and only suffers because he moves his front leg first instead of his back which leaves him vulnerable to sweeps for a second. The pass is a no resistance version of a knee slide pass. The submission looks like a no resistance version of demonstrating the principles behind a arm bar I do when a white belt gets really over zealous trying to push me off of side control. All and all its poorly executed but the ideas being expressed isn't on the level of a wing chun vs bjj level where the chun dude decides to chain punch his way out of closed guard.

Is there a future in learning bottom turtle as an attack position vs learning it as a back to guard position? I've been working on thread the needle/transitions to knees from different positions recently, and it seems to work well. I go to turtle, they try to seat belt me or something and I hit a peek through to take back, or lay back to a sometime butterfly/open/closed guard or sometimes top guy backs off and we get neutral.
