I think if I got a direct flight I could do it in like 8 hours, depending on what it's like to go from JFK to RGA. It's not insurmountable, but I'd have to be planning a NYC trip first and foremost.

Been in a slump recently. I've not been progressing in skill at all since my rotator cuff tore. I've been training once a week on average because of trying to take care of it (3-4 nights a week of PT for it and taking nights off when it hurts too much eats up a lot of time). The doctor says probably 6-10 months until it's back at full strength, maybe longer if I push it and reinjure sooner. It almost feels like im backsliding even though I'm probably just not improving and everyone else around my level is able to go 2-3 times a week at least and I'm stuck not using my left arm at full strength to keep from reinjuring it which limits what I can actually do. Any advice for how to deal with this frustration?

I live near Pittsburgh so I’d love to hit Yuns up for a roll...when I’m at least a blue belt. Until then I’ll just have to live vicariously through videos.

Yuns posted:All you guys could come visit me and work on this stuff in the blue basement, but despite my years of invitations I've had like 5 people reach out to me and only 2 that I trained with Odddzy and Decades, I missed meeting JaySB's friend because I was travelling. I wish I could get to NYC easily. Someone invent that Star Trek transporter technology.

I am also in NYC and enjoy rolling with people and as a bonus I'm like 100x easier to beat than Yuns and also you won't have to go to an 8am class to do it

I spent a year or two like this - basically maintaining because life had other priorities. Only advice is just grind it out and remember life has seasons. Also since you're dealing with injury, focus on progress there.

Been back at my old gym for holiday break and having a lot of my teammates tell me I'm making good progress despite missing most of 2018 on the mats. Wooo. Now gotta get this weight off.

i generally heel hook people who try to heel hook me. My favorite heel hooks are all counter attacks on leg locks. These days I'm more likely to finish with an arm bar.

I need to learn a good leg attack. The other day a dude was basically keeping me away with an extended leg and I thought to myself "if I knew a knee bar or something I would try for it right now"

You could also try just getting into an offensive position, like the saddle. Might be more achievable than going straight for a leg lock. And remember: position before submission!

The other day a dude was basically keeping me away with an extended leg and I thought to myself "if I knew a knee bar or something I would try for it right now" Heel hook? Traditionally, when someone "iron boot"s your anklelock, it exposes their heel for the outside heel hook. Although maybe you can't do that (dark arts for lyfe), or the position didn't lend itself towards it.

Drewjitsu posted:Heel hook? Traditionally, when someone "iron boot"s your anklelock, it exposes their heel for the outside heel hook. Yeah our school is really against ever reaping the knee so I am not sure what's allowed and not allowed. I think heel hooks are ok but I don't know how to do one and am not sure it's best to try to figure out on a dude while rolling. Count Roland posted:You could also try just getting into an offensive position, like the saddle. Might be more achievable than going straight for a leg lock. And remember: position before submission! Yeah, I have a list of escapes and transitions I want to drill at the open mat we are holding today. I will add that in.

The idea that reaping is too dangerous but heel hooks aren't is hilarious.

My gym is more "be aware that white belts are dumb and spazzy so if you hurt them its on you, but other wise do what you want." and on the other side I've seen a few gyms that ban even straight ankle locks till blue belt. edit: The only submission that seems universally banned is neck cranks, and I can respect that.

My gym is mostly pajama wearing IBJJF style, but my best moves are all 10th planet concepts. When I watched the match live, I thought "oh poo poo, Eddie is about to get smashed" and then I quickly learned how cool electric chairs are. In the breakdown video, he says how excited he was that Royler let him have quarter guard. What!? All I wanted after that was to know how to turn lovely nothing guards into sweeps. I re-watched the halfguard DVD from the Mastering The Rubber Guard set after the Metamoris match. Bravo basically describes exactly the strategy and sequence used in the Royler rematch. Bravo doing a live demo of his DVD series on an uncooperative Royler Gracie was pretty rad. I cringe listening to him talk about nearly anything else, but his descriptions and systems of jiu jitsu have been more natural for me to apply than anyone else's.

Eddie is really good at bjj - teaching and doing and seems to have a head for business given all his affiliates and ebi and what not. It's like two different people when he switches to other topics.

There’s a kent peters video which points out that one of ryan’s feet was hooked around BJ’s neck to drag him down harder, too. I didn’t see that detail in other videos

I highly recommend Eddie's online content - Mastering The System (which he coined way before Danaher's Enter the System). I urge you to do a drop in at 10p school if you have one nearby too.

its been about 6 months since I started doing jiu jitsu. I've really been enjoying it, and I'm just going to post some thoughts from a beginner - I struggle real hard with breaking and passing guard. Sometimes during free rolls I will spend the entire 3-5 minute round stuck in someone's guard, unable to pass. The only guard pass concept I have had success with is getting 1 or 2 of their legs on my shoulders. If I can get both arms underneath their legs that is great. Once someone's guard closes I don't really know what to do besides roll my hips, base out my knees and wait for them to do something. I hate standing up in someone's closed guard because they (higher belts especially) instantly use my stood-up leg to get a sweep. - On the flip side I feel good in side control. It's really intuitive to me, keep their hips close to your hips, put your weight on them, and control their head. I've been able to keep people at my level or a bit higher (like new blue belts) in side control for as long as I want. I guess part of it is I never try to go for mount. - I did no-gi the other day for the first time, and I really enjoyed it. One cool thing about no-gi is a lot of people will go for a collar tie and I like to russian tie that arm and use it for a sweep or just control.
