you know those interviews where chael isn't playing a heel but is actually just being himself and it kind of owns because he's not a clown for a little while? well here's 30 minutes of that http://www.flowrestling.org/video/517497-Thirty-minutes-with-Chael-Sonnen he talks about his thoughts on American wrestling (  ), the American wrestling Olympic team (), the respect wrestlers deserve, and comparing wrestlers in MMA to pure wrestlers.chael makes me want to follow wrestling.

Grab Your Foot! posted:Well that's a whole lot of giving a poo poo about a meaningless exhibition in a sport which he doesn't really compete in professionally against a guy he probably couldn't hang with anyway. Yeah, nick diaz is a big shithead, but this isn't that big of a deal. He just ditched a seminar like two weeks ago and nobody really cared then. If there had been any decent MMA on last night or today (or if Tuesday's show had bigger fights) few people would have cared about this too. Instead it has been the top story on most mma sites because nothing else is really going on. But Nick Diaz needs to stop signing up for things he has no intention of really doing.

Metamoris would be a perfect fit for Fight Pass so I hope so. Especially if they can keep landing the big UFC names and mix them with all the big BJJ names you hear Rogan talking about all the time but have no idea who the gently caress they are unless you're an enthusiast. As much as I enjoy MMA it would be hard to pass up seeing guys like Benson and Barnett grapple in a jiu jitsu match every month instead of the Nate Marquardt vs James TeHuna type MMA headliners. It would benefit both camps so much they would be dumb not to work out a deal.

my primary takeaway through five classes as a white belt has been having Nic Gregoriades making fun of my fat goon body. jiu jitsu owns, I should have started years ago.

Thanks for writing that Yuns. You just described my problem as a retarded white belt who learned the x-guard -> ankle lock transition but now I've had a tendency to just hunt for that anytime I'm on my back instead of actually, you know, practicing fundamental jiu jitsu passes & positioning. I'm gonna work on that.

Odddzy posted:Do most people here have one person or more they mostly refuse to roll with for reasons other than fear of getting injured? At this point there's a guy I've decided isn't worth it to roll with because I've figured we probably won't ever get along. Do these weird beefs sometimes eventually get settled for others here? I'm sure they do but it's been going on for the better part of a year and i'm curious to hear the stories of others. This is from the perspective of a guy who has only been rolling for 3 months, but I can think of two guys who I do not want to roll with again because they are dicks. Not friendly to talk to and if I had to guess are taking a lot of their life frustrations out in the gym. They stand out so much because everybody else in the gym is cool as hell. There was some fatherdog post in here semi-recently I think where he said that there are assholes in any hobby and jiu jitsu, despite rooting itself in respecting others, is no different (or something like that). So in my opinion there's no reason to worry about the one guy who you don't get along with when you know there are like 20 other great people in class.

I've been wearing tesla all day every day since I started and they're good, but yeah you needed to order a few sizes up. I wear a 2XL (ordinarily fit in an XL or L) from them and they are still tight, but comfortable enough. They have been surprisingly durable for $10 compression clothing.

Mr. Nice! posted:Got triangled by everyone I rolled with today. My last roll was with the instructor. He said to the class before we started to give it all we got for the last one. I said if I could avoid getting triangled, it would be a win. He told me he didn't go after those. After we're rolling for a minute he gets me in one and was like "guess I was wrong." from the top or bottom? getting caught in one when they're mounted on top of you is some hard poo poo to avoid, but if you're just getting trapped in their guards over and over again... quit messing around in their guards.

yeah if 30 is considered "masters" in most tournaments then I'm gonna gently caress up a bunch of old guys in a year. I can barely hang with the 24 year olds in my gym but I have no problems taking down 45 year olds on my way to silver & gold medals

Me personally I like the game where a purple/brown belt sees how far they can let me work, almost until the point where they are in danger, then they completely shut me down/reverse/sweep/etc. and then we start over from whatever position they put me in or after they lock in a submission to really drive home how open I left myself to a counter. It's almost like a game of chicken. I get to train stuff I've been learning or experimenting with, the higher belts train defense & escapes with a light bit of smashing. black belts mostly just do moves I can't even comprehend.

JaySB posted:Jacked my knee up yesterday rolling. Put my leg back to start to open a closed guard, guy just shifted and I fell back and twisted my knee. Hurt like a motherfucker. Took a bit of a rest, tried to roll again went to hip escape and felt a nice little pop. Now any movement of my knee is painful and walking hurts. Sorry to hear about that man. I almost had the exact same thing happen to me a few weeks ago when I was on my back fighting for closed guard but I managed to warn the guy I was rolling with "dude dude!" right before he collapsed on my knee and twisted the poo poo out of it. i hope you're not out of commission for long.

ch3cooh posted:I sprained something in my lower back like a month ago. I would rest for a few days and when it felt better I would go train and the next day I would be right back to hosed. So I'd rest a few days... Yeah the one thing that's been encouraging for me is my knee injury has been getting better over time, albeit slowly, and I don't do anything too risky during rolls. I also have been keeping a brace on it since the day the injury happened (we were drilling takedowns and my knee buckled). It's a combination of not having the greatest health insurance and potentially having to take extended time off that worries me more than the injury as it exists right now to be honest. I've been training 3x a week pretty consistently now for 8 months and jiu jitsu is just starting to become fun. I can't imagine taking tons of time off. I understand the risk is having to miss more time in the future if it becomes serious as opposed to a shorter rest period now, but so far everything has been okay so I'm just gonna keep riding it. I hope you're back on the mats soon.

My gym doesn't hand out belts too easily. We are pretty focused on competition (not required though) and when more than 60% of everybody is competing all the time it's kinda hard to bullshit who is or isn't properly ranked. I like it. That being said it's about 2 years from white to blue, 3 from blue to purple. And that's if you show up a few times a week and the head instructors don't have to yell at you during rolls for doing poo poo wrong. No idea about brown belt, I think you have to murder a fellow purple belt to ascend.
