shizen posted:so why is it that wrestlers are massive/muscular compared to bjj competitors who have very little size? I mean they both primairly just do grappling, yet wrestlers seem to look in tremendously better shape. I notice it in mma also that wrestlers just are a lot bigger/stronger then the bjj guys.

Can somebody knowledgeable in BJJ give me the rundown on Xande Ribeiro? I have an opportunity to do some photo/video shoots with him very soon, but my knowledge of high level BJJ is very sparse.

It's a Gracie Barra (that's buried inside a boxing gym).

Trip report from my first Gracie Barra class (never had formal instruction before, but I've rolled no-gi with some of my friends who wrestled in high school/college): -Class starts with a short warmup session where you do jumping jacks, pushups, and just general hip and core workouts. -Class then moves onto a self-defense technique; I learned how to escape a dude trying to choke me while standing, frankenstein-style. -Learned how to pull guard and retain control to set up a tripod sweep -Then everyone started to alternate in guard top or bottom, with the goal to pass if you're on top and either lock the other guy down or submit him if you're on bottom. The first guy I rolled with I was able to pass his guard pretty easily and I caught him in a triangle once. The second guy I rolled with was much better and had stronger grip - he pretty much passed to side control every time as I was still getting used to not being able to scramble as easily. I almost caught him in an omoplata. One time I was able to take his back when he tried to sweep. One thing I noticed was that everyone around me was gassed to hell. I don't know if this is just a problem with their experience or fitness, but I definitely did much better after people started to get tired and wheezy. At the pace we were going I definitely could've gone another 2 hours. I have a 30 day trial so I'm going to go as much as I possibly can. I like this format of teaching, though I would have liked a little more specific technique instruction - but I'm sure that is something that comes with time and practice, as I can barely execute the one sweep that I did learn today. 1st AD fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Mar 22, 2011 |

Thoguh posted:Also, to recruit females, they occasionaly hold self defense seminars that they call "Rape Safe" classes. These are really just a beginner class and includes learning things like how to do a double leg takedown on someone trying to rape you... wrestling ruins everything I actually don't have a problem with the way the class is set up, because it's a beginners class and a lot of people just don't have the experience or the conditioning to really get any benefit out of more open mat time. I think the 15 or so minutes you spend on positional sparring is more than enough for anyone new. Maybe after a week or so my tune will change, but at this point I don't know where and how to grip lapels and sleeves, so it's not like I want to be rolling with other guys quite yet. 1st AD fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Mar 22, 2011 |

Did I kill the tendon in my biceps or something? About a month ago I got caught in a nasty armbar and I couldn't tap quickly enough before it felt seriously stretched out. I've been avoiding doing workouts that strain my biceps because there's still a ton of residual soreness any time I flex it. I started rolling again last week and everything felt great, then yesterday someone slapped on an americana and the second he started torquing it I started to feel a sharp pain.

Xguard86 posted:He does something shady, or hurts somebody in basically ever MMA or grappling fight hes involved in. At what point do people say, "hey, this guy is an rear end in a top hat", and do something about it? I think hes not so innocent and knowingly pushes the rules for his benefit and pulls the Lenny with the rabbit act when hes called out for it. This is why the Marquardt fight was so satisfying for me.

I'm surprised arm triangle isn't higher on that list. I don't follow competitive grappling, so are those stats fairly close to what you'd see in grappling comps?

I'm not a good wrestler but I've found that unless I'm rolling with someone with perfect technique and a lot of speed, I can usually just stuff a low single by controlling their head and either putting my weight on them and forcing them to turtle or just spin and get my leg out.

A lot of high school/college wrestlers play other sports too, so instead of making no money in international competition and then transitioning to making no money AND getting punched in the face in MMA, they'll get drafted into ball sports and make lots of money.

I'm not a good wrestler but normally I do a lot more than just take a penetrating step and drive forward with a couple steps. I'm not good at explaining this, but if you look at the way Koscheck or Sonnen pursue takedowns it's like that. They grab a guy and then stay as tight as they can while driving forward, pulling, and turning at the same time. You have all these forces acting on a guy to destabilize his base and it takes some top notch defensive wrestling to either stuff these takedowns or come out on top of a scramble.

Well usually when you sit out you'll be doing it a lot faster than that guy in the 3rd match did. I'm guessing Mecha's opponent wasn't a wrestler (or had terrible conditioning, or both) because that move looked so slow and lumbering. Going from a sit out to a single leg is pretty common.

CivilDisobedience posted:Except that 'modern MMA' doesn't necessarily mean unified rules (no matter how much you want to claim that it's the only possible ruleset), and it's absolutely relevant to that discussion that one of the best weapons Judoka have in their arsenal has been taken away from them in UFC to give wrestlers an unfair advantage 1)What currently operating organizations allow the use of a gi? 2)The Unified rules do WAY more to nullify wrestlers than anybody else. Removing ground knees is a big example of this.
