knuthgrush posted:well to play devil's advocate: was that dude like new new or had you just not seen him before? maybe he was kinda panicked? an example from my first actual class: The guy had def been on the mat. But he was inexperienced, when I turned up the pace you could tell in his face he wasn't used to it. I've had one other experience with someone trying to literally fight me before, but then that guy apologized and told me his wife was divorcing him and he had just found out.

I’ve been taught (citation needed) that there’s a cluster of nerves on the back of the neck and that if you hit it right while you’ve got a collar tie or you’re in a thai clinch it makes the other guy kinda dizzy. He did it to me a bunch of times and I definitely felt… something. Hard to describe. A slight dizziness, combined with him constantly trying to break my posture. My source is a mid-level MMA fighter who did a bunch of TMAs when he was young. He was the kind of guy who could throw people with aikido-style wristlocks and it would work because he could wrestle, too. But he also wasn’t clubbing my neck from a mile off or anything. His hand barely left the neck. A BJJ ref wouldn’t think it looked like a strike.

I feel conflicted getting a Flo subscription. On the one hand its a great recon tool for checking out your opponents prior to a tournament, gettings news in the BJJ world with interviews and of course ADCC, F2W, etc. On the other hand Im paying $100 for the year TO WATCH THIS poo poo WITH COMMERCIALS  Sherbert Hoover posted:If someone doesn't know how to not take something too seriously and throw a fit by the time they're an adult it's not really anyone else's responsibility anymore. This is basically how i feel now as well.

It's the belt mummy a BJJ thing generally or just in this thread?

I was wondering the same thing and there's like no results at all for it so I'm guessing it's this thread.

this thread is the only place i've seen it. it's good for people to share their achievements with their online friends without going baitface and a good tradition in general.

I had a white belt student ask me why it was called neon belly. I had to explain it was actually "knee" on belly. Got a good kick out of that very meta situation.

Got a good kick out of that very meta situation. haha nothing is literal anymore. I just had my instructor completely tear down how I was doing knee on belly, and rebuild it with some concepts I wasnt really aware of. 1. Knee across the centerline is stronger than knee in the solarplex because across the centerline is controlling the hips rather than inflicting pain. Across the solarplex will get them on their side though rather than pinning. 2. Knee across the centerline and foot tucked tight against the hip so any underhooking of the foot to off balance is difficult to drat near impossible. 3. Knee on belly can control the action of turtling when passing your opponent into side control when you place the knee on the hip and slide it across (this actually works really well even against heavyweights). 4. Have to pull on the head (lifting it off the ground) and pants near the hip to control your opponent. If the head cant move, neither will his body.

Also you have to be in a low stance, with your hips close to the ground and the kneeling leg’s hammy touching the calf, if you have high hips and space under your legs they can get you in a backside heel hook or at least stuck in 50/50 in a matter of seconds if they know what they doing

Across the hips is great. I think the old school solar plexus version of knee-on-belly only works in gi, you need something to pull on to stay stable. The hips version is a sick control position that allows you to stay really light and mobile and follow them around. I like to use it against bigger opponents while I chase their back.

Even in the gi I just grab for the back of the head/neck instead of a lapel in neon belly. But the gi does add a lot of friction.

Some guys (myself included) do not lift their head off the ground when they're on their back in side control. They will literally pin their head to the ground. Same goes for when someone has them mounted. You cant bridge if your head is off the ground. Pulling on the lapel will help lift it, no matter if he tried to pin the back of his head to the ground, or not. Tacos Al Pastor fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Nov 2, 2021 |

We always learned to alternate between surfing cross body for control and driving the knee to encourage movement and wear on the opponent. Always thought that was a pretty standard thing?

Hey, I'm being asked more and more to do warm ups; what are some recommended "skills based" warm ups and games for adults, white to purple belt classes with a mix of people in terms of size, strength, athleticism, skill, etc. For example, we like to split the class up into, say, four groups of four or five people and do "king of the mat" with open guard pass or sweep, or , more rarely, the same thing with takedowns. My gym really REALLY needs more standing/take down work, so anything that can be a fairly safe, fairly unintimidating introduction to fundamentals of standing grips, posture breaks, basic throws (mostly trips??) Would be just perfect.

That kind of mount similar to "knee on belly" is what Danaher calls shin mount and its very effective. Gotta keep elbow and knee together too (as usual)

Some schools teach knee on belly as literally knee on the belly/solarplex and others teach it as a method of control for the hips. Ive seen people practice both.

I would only knee on sternum if I wanted them to turn in or I hate them. Shin mount is more stable

Last night I hit a beautiful osoto gari on one our black belts. If it was on the street Im not sure he would have been moving. I think I knocked the air out of him with it. My coach looks at him and goes "you ok??" Anyway, I landed in really weird position where he had control of my near side leg even though I was still on top of him. When he came up it was like he was in a leg drag position. He made my life hell for the next few minutes. It was one of those "Im in the ocean and stuck under the wave and cant breathe" moments  Vashro posted:I would only knee on sternum if I wanted them to turn in or I hate them.

You do a slow and low single leg, help your partner up, and then they do one to you. Then 2 minutes of back to back slow throws, or double legs, and then that's it. The next part of the warm up was the coolest though, you and your partner go into the position that will be taught in class, and do 2 minutes of one person on top and one on bottom of escape or submit. And then he would teach the moves, and before we rolled at the end of class we would do that exercise again so you could do whatever it is. So if the move was like a heel hook, it would be one person tries to escape the heel hook and the other submits, while going relatively slow because it's a warm up. Then when he taught the move(s), you would already have in your mind all of the weaknesses and where the move will help you and you do it again.
