Yuns posted:Not throat crushy at all if done properly. Make sure your arm is deep enough around the neck first. Typically you'll know as your choking arm hand will pass the trapezius. Once super deep the rotation will compress the carotids. If you are too shallow it can compress the trachea. Which is sort of fine in that it will get the tap too but isn't optimal. Cool

That back attack dvd whips. It's more applicable for what I do too since my goal is try to get the back always, I rarely try to force submissions before then because I have found I tend to use that as a cop out inevitably don't get the submission and lose my position in the process. I'm also not allowed to do any leg poo poo beside straight ankle locks so his Leg attack dvd doesn't really apply to me.

I notice like 75% of my rolls start with me being in the other dudes full guard and I might as well figure out some stuff. It's probably my weakest position in terms of technique and options I am familiar with. Not a recommendation as much as a statement of possibility, but my preferred technique for any guard beyond flattened half guard is to stand up and make it an open guard fight

Also, while I am researching, any recs on guillotines? I've had a lot of good headlocks from clumsy takedown attempts but have never managed to finish the choke and usually end up gassing by trying for too long. At this point I am wondering if I should just give up on trying to lock the choke and if I can transition the headlock into something better

Guillotines, Marcellotine or Neil Melanson has some good stuff on finishing the guillotine.

I came from a judo background so standing to pass came embarrassingly late for me. When I did start standing up though it was the single greatest leap forward in progress for me in a long time.

It's probably my weakest position in terms of technique and options I am familiar with. Just the simple knee slide works great. It’s all about pinning their hip. Against smaller guys and girls who are more technical than me. For bigger guys that aren’t as technical my go to is double underhooks or single underhook. For single underhook you need to have a pretty good understanding how to immobilize the bottom leg, and decent triangle defense because eventually you will screw it up.

Even if you don't get them to force your opponent to defend and open up other stuff, like that original guillotine you were looking for.

Once you've dropped your body for the choke, I've learned that it's difficult to improve the grip, and that's where you end up blasting your arms trying to get that last inch or so. If you have the right grip it doesn't take a lot of exertion to get the tap. e. Lachlan Giles

My professor showed us some cool guillotine details last night Snap head down with left hand Chin strap grip with right hand Stuff opponents head under left arm Use chin strip grip to elevate chin Slide left hand behind right hand, big thumb knuckle in the indentation in their throat below the adams apple Right hand releases chinstrap, grips left hand fingers Fall to left hand elbow to finish

So I do power lifting 5x5s on my off days, I took the last few weeks off to reserve my energy for BJJ since I wasn't used to it and wanted to get as much mat time as possible. I mentioned getting back into 5x5s to my instructor today, and he mentioned he feels explicit powerlifting is a bad much for BJJ, especially at white belt. He recommended looking into more muscle endurance high-rep stuff. Any recs on what I should focus on for my weight training? What do you guys do for gym work to coordinate with your mat work?

As my friend (who is also a gym owner/S&C coach, etc) says: "it's easier to take a strength athlete and turn them into an endurance athlete, than to take an endurance athlete and make them a strength athlete." Basically, lift weights. Endurance with rolling comes with... You guessed it, more rolling. Be strong. Being strong allows you to get into positions where you don't need to exert yourself as much.

He recommended looking into more muscle endurance high-rep stuff. I found that when I got my resting heart rate lower (through basic cycling and keeping heartrate between 130-150), it really helped with endurance in both BJJ and judo. Far more than just rolling a lot ever did, much faster recovery and able to get through all rounds without any issue. No issue with weight training either - it's useful to have strength to fall back on if technique is equal (or near equal). Although don't fall into a trap of using strength rather than technique otherwise it might stunt your progress.

I was rolling with a girl yesterday who had been doing BJJ for like 2 weeks. She told me how she has to remember to breath and it reminded me of the adrenaline that goes on the first couple of times you roll where you can't help but think this is a live or die situation. Also anyone else also roll easier on girls? It's seems hosed up not to

spb posted:Also anyone else also roll easier on girls? It's seems hosed up not to If they've been training less than a year I probably won't learn much from the roll so I try to simulate a self-defence scenario but slowly so they have time to work through stuff. If they have more than a year experience I play my normal game but I work through it slowly, I try to be utterly strengthless, and I pretend that their grips are stronger than they are, methodically working through the grip breaks. Sometimes I run into women who are terrifyingly good and I just try my hardest to kill them but you want to befriend them and slowly crank up the intensity to make sure they're into it.

Westside Barbell if you want to get strong. I've been doing a lot of HIIT and functional fitness though. Deadlifts, turkish getups, squats, lunges, jump squats and core are what seem to be the most transferable exercises to jiu jitsu. Regarding rolling with women, same thing as stated before be conscious of weight more than gender. We had a purple belt that would get really pissed at me if I didn't give her like 90%+ pressure though so...Maybe just learn to adapt to your training partners.

I will say though that I usually don't ask a woman to roll but if they ask me I am all for it. JaySB posted:Westside Barbell if you want to get strong. Havent heard of it but I will take a peak

Far more than just rolling a lot ever did, much faster recovery and able to get through all rounds without any issue. I agree. I know prioritizing endurance over strength training is unpopular in grappling, but my own experience is that endurance is good for training, lifting helps with competition. Running 5-10k, even at a slow pace, shot my bjj/judo endurance through the roof. It feels like I can fight to exhaustion, but 30 seconds of rest gets me ready to start all over again. The ability to roll several rounds at higher intensity feels very valuable to me from a training point of view. I also feel that running in particular helps me stay lighter on my feet during stand-up. Strength training seems to help me with injury prevention, and the ability to muscle a move feels cool and is great for competition. I have a hard time in training though wrt resorting to strength over technique.

I found this great video of famous fake black belt, fake Brazilian, fake Navy SEAL and convicted murderer Ralph Bartle (aka "Rafiel Torre") getting his poo poo wrecked while demonstrating why people stopped wearing a GI in MMA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Xg48ihuRL4 If you don't already know who "Rafiel Torre" is, Joe Rogan did a pretty good rundown on him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBLY24F7mvI

Deadlifts, turkish getups, squats, lunges, jump squats and core are what seem to be the most transferable exercises to jiu jitsu. ^^^ this. 5x5 is a higher-volume knockoff of Starting Strength, a program that explicitly says that you're not supposed to do any other strenuous exercise while you're on it, and also you should drink a gallon of whole milk every day. Pick a different program with saner volume and temper your expectations for gainz if you're going hard at BJJ. Rows and pull-ups are cool too; they're very relevant to anything involving pulling on gi grips.

Depends on what you're trying to do. Higher reps lower weight for muscle endurance. Lower reps higher weight for actual strength. Again, Westside Barbell.
