If you have a Judo gi, that will be just fine. Also, mouth guards are really a 'what works best for you' kind of deal in my opinion. I will recommend not getting the top and bottom style, breathing with those things sucks.

J Wiggle posted:I just started taking BJJ, I go to my 4th class tonight. Some questions: The answer to this and 95% of "What do I do in xx situation?" is, you are going to be destroyed by guys for a long time, so don't sweat it. There are a lot of answers to that specific question and it's hard to explain it here. Listen to the guys at your gym and just train more. Also, tap as soon as you feel uncomfortable. Tap often. There is absolutely no shame in doing so. When I was a white belt I used to joke that I had tapping calluses on my hand.

75 per month for unlimited training, but I get 25 bucks knocked off because I teach a beginner's class.

BlindSite posted:I tend to agree with this because even against other white belts I can be incredibly lazy and take a breather while they mount and then I work my way back to guard and look for something like a sweep or a sub. I don't like Rules that don't allow me to be lazy. The BJ Penn method owns. You seriously do this in tournaments?

Holy moly, I just found this: http://stores.ebay.com/Dollamur-Wrestling-Mats/Super-Value-/_i.html?_fsub=14&_sid=240800595&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322 You don't get to choose the color but the price is awesome for an 8'x6' area of brand new mats. These flex-roll dollamur mats are what they use in my gym. They're pretty nice.

You can use your judo gi, the gold weave is just lighter than the double weave. My very first gi was an atama gold weave and the jacket is still going strong. The pants lasted about 2 years.

Thanks for calling me an idiot, dick! I was down in points in a bjj tournament by ELEVEN. After scrambling, I flying armbarred to win with 15 seconds left. Really though, if a technique is legal, who are you to decide whether it's 'okay' to perform it or not? What does the size of the tournament matter? Ugh, guys like you are why I am not a super huge fan of going to traditional judo places to train. I don't mean to overgeneralize, but I've trained at a LOT of Judo places and poo poo like this is pretty common. Do you also think that guillotines are for monkeys? Because I've heard that one too. Edit: Oh and good job feeling good about almost knocking a dude out. AZCollins fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Nov 7, 2011 |

Okay, so would he have been an uncoordinated spaztard if the technique worked? Are you also saying it's not a legit technique because it's, 'designed to break limbs,' seriously?

Acinonyx posted:How is reading so hard for you? Apparently I'm not communicating my point well enough. Teach me wise one, what techniques are competitors allowed to use at grappling tournaments? Or better yet, give me a list of 'spaztard nonsense,' so I can help spread the word to avoid offending your delicate sensibilities. The bottom line is, you can't decide whether a technique works for someone or not, no matter what you believe the fail rate to be. Everyone's different. Calling something 'brutish' and saying 'people are idiots who use this technique' is just loving ignorant.

Acinonyx posted:Dude, you fail so hard at reading you do not appear to be able to distinguish between the people pointing out what an idiot you are. Please point out anything in my post about delicate sensibilities or brutishness. Please. I totally did that. Twice. Maybe you can't read my posts. I'm saying there is no way for YOU to know what OTHER PEOPLE can execute and that you shouldn't assume things about people who aren't you. Making BLANKET statements about the effectiveness of ANY specific technique is just ignorant. That is the only point I've been trying to make. I'm not saying you can't have an opinion, but dealing in absolutes is just flat out incorrect. However, feel free to get mad and just keep calling me stupid if it makes you feel better on the internet. ANYWAY, sorry to derail, has anyone ever seen the Ciao Terra DVDs?

Dante posted:this is dumb and wrong and certain techniques being more high-percentage is tautologically true in every sport please stop this nonsense This is totally correct. Let me rephrase. This was said: "Most people in non-advanced divisions trying flying techniques have little to no chance of hitting them." That's an opinion. My point was, there's a time and place for every technique, there are different skill levels between individuals, and that just because it's high-risk, it shouldn't be eliminated from consideration. It's not 'spaztard nonsense.' There are too many factors. Sorry if I didn't communicate that well enough. This was also said, "One of the guys I fought at a promotional was nearly knocked out cold attempting a flying armbar on me (a technique, while not expressly forbidden, is highly frowned upon due to the utter idiocy of nearly everyone who attempts them). Wasn't even a large enough tournament to need to do such crazy antics." This is calling "nearly everyone who attempts a flying armbar an idiot." Do you guys agree?

SUPER NEAT TOY posted:The problem is it's high risk for no point at all. Just two pages ago there was a video of someone breaking their opponent's leg or something ridiculous like that when they went for a flying armbar. I'm not a fan of saying to a white belt 'I trust you are skilled enough to not injure yourself or me while flying through the air attempting to latch onto one of my arms'. Yeah, and that person sucks at flying armbars and shouldn't do them in a tournament. It is high risk and can be detrimental. It's a technique though, a technique you practice and can get good at if you really wanted to. I'm not advocating telling people to do something they've never or rarely practiced if they have better techniques to do. I'm also not saying there aren't better things to drill. In my case I was lucky as hell and I know it. There are guys that flying armbar people, even at the top level. Jacare and Aoki used to do it quite a bit. Is it high risk? Heck yes. Should people constantly do them? Of course not, but there's a time and a place and it works for some INDIVIDUAL people.

Well, Vinny Magalhaes did it twice at ADCC in 2009, in the same tournament. Here's some highlight video for Jacare showing him doing it a bunch (gi and no gi), even mixing in flying triangles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5WD36oHTnU Aoki's nickname is Tobikan Judan, which I think means flying submission master. There are lots of grappling videos floating around of his. Now these are obviously top level guys, who have obviously practiced doing this technique a lot. Edit: I forgot how badass that Jacare video is. AZCollins fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Nov 8, 2011 |

Well, in my specific instance, I was down on points, I had no time, the dude was a better wrestler than me, and I went for the only hail mary I could think of. It was something I had practiced some, I was about to lose, so eff it. I tried. My point is, it's a technique. A technique can and will work differently when done by different people with different skill levels and under different circumstances. The negatives involved in my opinion, do not make it completely useless, nor do I think anyone should make that decision for other people. That goes for any technique really. The only useless techniques I can think of are ones that are banned, because doing them gets you DQed. I fully respect your right never to use the flying armbar or whatever other technique you don't think works. Sorry for the huge derail.

I've been training about 6 years at the same place. I love the guys I train with at Strong Heart BJJ, but we're in North Phoenix (a bit of a drive). The site is http://strongheartacademy.com. You could also check out gdjiujitsu.com for Gustavo Dantes' place. He just recently split from AZ Combat Sports and is located in Tempe. The grappling community here is pretty chill, no huge rivalries or anything. I know there are some decent places in Chandler/Gilbert too, but I don't know of any off the top of my head.

Mine aren't super SUPER high profile, and I can't think of a time where people grabbed them with any effect while rolling. I can see the gi pant thing being a problem if they are a snug fit to begin with. But then again, I'm a stocky dude and wear a size bigger in gis than I should for my height/weight.

I went to the "Official IBJJF ref training class." It was incredibly convoluted, nonsensical, and the instructors couldn't agree on some of the answers to asked questions. It's seriously a joke. My first pan am, one ref was eating a slice of pizza during a match. Seriously.

I always wear a mouthguard while rolling, but usually not while drilling. I've chipped a few teeth due to 'accidents' or a new guy in his flailing stage.

Bohemian Nights posted:No, I think it'll be fine. I tapped to the heelhook the instant I could feel the mixed feeling of paper ripping and this rippling popping feeling. I was limping from saturday to yesterday, but I iced, tiger balsamed and put on a tight neoprene knee supporter immediately afterwards, and I think that helped. I can walk pretty much pain free now, so I'm hoping for a couple of weeks. *shudder* Are you going to go to the Dr? Nothing worse than thinking you're good, starting to train again and then one weird slip your knee moves how it shouldn't.

Wrist locks are like anything else. They work in certain situations, but I'd say they are a bit more useful in the gi. Almost every time I've been wrist locked it's been because of a grip I had on another person's jacket. I don't find darker gis to retain more heat. I doubt it makes any difference unless you were training in the sun.
