He's kind of a hippie so we're all yeah sure buddy and sometimes do it as a joke when sparring with beginners. Then when the beginners start mimicking us we're all like dude wtf you shouting for? That was fun. Seeing people type it on the internet forums like reddit is loving stupid. Bangkero fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Jun 29, 2016 |

I support the donkeys. Sport BJJ doesn't resemble "real fighting" to any significant degree anyway. Spider guard, worm guard, berimbolo, 50/50, it's all silly, gay, pajama wrasslin. I think weird, creative maneuvers make the game fun to learn and to watch. I forfeited the idea of "real fighting" a long time ago. If a move is inferior, let it lose on its own merit and let us laugh at the highlight reels of its failure. Competitors should be permitted to do whatever kind of spinaroony into glue sniffer control that they wanna do.

I agree. I am also of the opinion it is "their tournament, their rules." But it's moderately insulting to say "You can't use Donkey Guard, it's silly, in a street fight you'd get kicked in the nuts" as your logic for banning it. I think it's more than retarded that you can't heel hook in gi tournaments, amongst other things as well.

 even my Chinese friend doesn't say OSS that much. It's only when he bows or lifts a mat or after a good hard randori. Did my first "guest" class of the summer yesterday, in Winnipeg. Got to learn about de la Riva, got to roll with 5 new people. I managed to not get totally smashed or embarrassed so I'm happy. I even pulled off a couple of my favorite moves, which is icing. Everybody was cool and most surprising of all the instructor, who I had met at a clinic like 5 months ago, recognized me and my name on sight.

One of the guys at judo says OSS when you grab his lapel or when he grabs your lapel or when he blocks a throw or if he moves in for a throw and then cancels or anything really. It puts me off slightly actually. Hes a black belt but cant even really do 10 chin ups, its weird because hes a beast in randori and hes really cut.

What are people's approaches to smaller injuries? I feel a bit bad taking time off for small things but it seems so easy to accidentally make a small injury worse in bjj despite looking out for it. I see a bunch of people at my gym who are addicted and they come back seemingly too early and they have niggling to significant injuries that last a really long time and I can't help but think the bjj isn't helping. I took off about 2 weeks after a rotator cuff injury I got from moving a friend in/bjj/weight lifting and I think it was a really smart decision seeing as how it was flaring up just shooting a basketball and now it's 95%. I'm mainly asking because I've got a bright red swollen toe atm from yesterday's class and I want to train tomorrow, it feels lame to take off for an injured toe (idk if it was jammed bent whatever) but it hurts to walk and I know I probably won't be able to resist doing a bit of rolling if I show up to class tomorrow. e- Nierbo posted:And I hold the record for the most pushups non stop in our current batch of judoka so thats made me feel good.

I would definitely not go train if I could barely walk. I injured my toe in judo several years ago, and it's still the worst injury I've had; I can't bend it fully anymore, and while it hasn't been much of a problem since starting BJJ, fear of aggravating the injury was the main reason I had for not training for a long time. I've been out with what I hope is a small injury in my hip/thigh area for the past month or so. It started off as a minor nuisance that I felt I could train with, but after a few weeks I really hosed it up when doing sprawls during warm-ups (and stupidly training for the next hour instead of listening to my body). Don't sacrifice weeks or months of training just to get that one extra session in. My initial injury came from being a total idiot, trying to use what had been my white belt cheat code mount escape against a purple belt, except unlike this video I just throw my leg up there with no set up, meaning people who have some semblance of balance can just lean forward and destroy me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCTsS7s6tBw

Speaking as a pretty average 30-something hobbyist that's been at this for a this for a few years, I've never really regretted missing any one particular day of training. I take days off all the time cause I'm tired as gently caress from work, shoulders are feeling lovely, might be getting a cold etc. That said, my number one goal with jiu jitsu is to have fun and stay in decent shape/health. If you're training to dominate the next tournament and become the next Keenan or whatever, yeah learn to deal with a tweaked toe. Dave Grool fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Jun 30, 2016 |

I recently posted about popping a finger (went to the doc, just a sprain), and would be back on the mat already, except I got some gross loving skin infection (doc thinks its impetigo) so I'm off for a while.

I tapped someone tonight! I've been bjj'ing for 6 months or so but only rolling for about 2 months. My first legit sub, a toe hold. It was against a newer white belt. He is / was a wrestler who is about my weight and has constantly had me in side control every time we roll and I have not be able to do poo poo. He looked surprised as poo poo and did not want to tap but I rolled on the presser and he did. Almost got a kimura on him as well. Bjj is starting to get fun, at least today. Feels good man.

Anyone have bafflingly inconsistent rolls with partners in your gym? On any given day I can give very good purple belts a decent fight, and in the very next roll get bullied by white belt. Is this just the nature of the game, given everyone has different strengths, body types, mentalities etc? Or something I should be working on? Maybe I'm playing-up/down, subconsciously to my partner, trying to remain at their level. I'm not sure. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm a 6 month blue belt by the way.

The purple belts are taking it easy on you, because they know how to adjust to a partner when rolling. Your fellow beginners haven't learned that yet.

The fact that you're concerned and aware of it means you're going to get it right. Share your concerns with the upper belts giving that feedback and see if they can help you calibrate.
