My NoGi stand up game sucks, so this morning I focused on that with all my training partners, and guess what? They get better too. Everyone concentrating on what they suck at exposes everyone else to it as well. Its built into the fact that everyone is getting better because they are in a group.

Yuns posted:I have to rep my friend's brand Optimal Human. It's BJJ-specific rashguards without the lurid graphics. Prices are pretty reasonable too for BJJ rashguards - 19.99 to 29.99 for a long sleeve rashguard. Just bought some shorts and a short sleeve rashguard from them (~$70 shipped). Looks good and their prices are reasonable. I would have paid upwards of at least $50 for just a rashguard through Tatami who I usually go through.

All I know is that I watch most of the kids in the youth class and I swear to god, eliminating submissions (they learn like one, and the coach calls it "the secret move" only to be used in competition), these kids takedowns are like 10 times better than most of the adults.

I don't think we have a problem keeping up with afternoon crew or night crew. We are pretty objectively decent. Might be a stupid question but do you ever get to roll with those dudes or is there like some division between them training and everyone else?

Lack of sleep drives up cortisol, which leads to catabolic states not very conducive to adding new muscle fibers, or even repairing older ones that are intentionally damaged via resistance training.

When you have kids it becomes a little more difficult to find time but I manage to squeeze in the following: MWF (Fri Open Mat) - 7am to 8:30am BJJ - More of an intermediate than a beginner class at this point. 9am to 4pm work 4:45pm My kids BJJ class Tue - 11am to 1230pm Judo - My coach is a Rokudan and this is the only time during the week to really get a full Judo class Thurs - 11am to 1230pm BJJ - I get the most rolls out of this class since its the one with the most people that I attend. Work is pretty flexible and allows for me to go to class in the middle of the day if I like.

JaySB posted:drat that's some petty childish drama going on there. Kinda amazing that none of this could be handled or discussed privately. It's terrible optics for Gordon too, he looks like a man child. I think there was a quote by Dean Lister that said he will not promote someone to Brown Belt if they act like a dickhead. When you look at people like Ryan, AJ and Danis it totally makes sense why. Those attitudes are just horrible for Jiu Jitsu as a whole.

Thanks guys.02-6611-0142-1 posted:Two thirds of the set is about handfighting your way through resistance and finishing. There are some cool entries but not heaps. This is where I find most of my classes concentrating on too. We work on kimura grips andand hand transitioning from the back to get the choke, but I would love to see some more back entries and how to get to the back especially if they are from Danaher. Did learn a cool back entry that was from XGuard on Monday, but yeah I want to see more.
