Anyone have any thoughts about the myao-kennan double dq at abu dhabi pro? I thought it was kinda warrented, with the complete unwillingness to take top position in an unending game of footsie which never went anywhere

Unfortunately that's not Cyborg(because I now take great joy in seeing him lose) it's Ricardo "Demente" Abreu who's still really good in his own right(back to back silvers at the worlds loosing to Roger).

it was actually the first one i watched. can you (or anyone) explain what the dq was for and why all of their other fights that looked pretty much the same to me, weren't dqs as well?

I'm not an expert so anyone feel free to correct me, but I believe it was a combination of them actually being less active then usual, abu dhabi having slightly different rules then thee ibjjf, and the ref having the balls to do it

Ahhh, my wrists are hurting vicariously from seeing that guy doing push-ups on his.

On that note, how do you deal with wrist injuries in grappling?

I'm eager to try out BJJ, but I've been unable to do much of anything physical for months now because of a wrist injury sustained in judo. During newaza, which in my school always starts with both people wrestling on their knees (don't know if that's the norm), I was paired up with an enthusiastic and very strong guy who'd never tried any form of martial arts before in his life, and so he grabbed my by the fingers and more or less drove my wrist into the mat while I shamefully pulled guard. I remember thinking "wow, that's an injury" right as it happened, but I was good to go for the remainder of the day. The morning after, and many subsequent mornings, I had to use my left hand to open doors, turn faucets on/off, etc. It's recovered to the point where it doesn't bother me in my everyday life now, but if I press my right hand down sideways, something definitely feels wrong about half an inch underneath my thumb. Would it be fine if I went to a tryout class while having this problem, or should I try waiting it out for longer? It's been almost 4 months already.

That's really up to you, if it's that bad a problem don't be afraid to see a doctor. I've hurt my wrist and had it feel fine but hurt in certain positions for months afterwards, but it went away eventually. If it's bothering me I will usually wrap it like I'm boxing which will keep the wrist in place.

In my experience "professor" is just a term for a teaching black belt, and my school is owned and run by a guy straight out of Rio and we have a couple Brazilian black belts. It's not that formal though, I call him Professor and Rodrigo interchangeably and he doesn't give a poo poo either way.

Fun fact some people here probably know but some probably don't. When you look at a black belt and look at the red band at the end, if there are white stripes on each end it means he is a teacher, a regular black belt who just trains/competes but does not teach does not have them.

I train at a Gracie Barra school, and we're really lax. My coach tried to get everyone to wear the patches about a year ago and then gave up/stopped caring. He even switched the gi's he sells from the gracie barra brand to Moyo because the Gracie Barra ones suck. He also always says that the whole promotion timeline they have is just a guideline and doesn't really matter. It's worth nothing that he did not come up through Gracie Barra, he went white to brown with Alliance.
