Why would someone who doesn't know anything about BJJ automatically picture a guy wrapping his legs around another guy when you say "guard"?

a guard is something that exists to protect from harm or danger. you would like to get past it to cause harm or danger. your motivation for this is some kind of social issue + you are really upset about this weird rash on your left ball

This wouldn't happen in an aikido thread because everyone would redirect his energy without disturbing their inner balance. Like so:

My point is that every activity, be it knitting or BJJ, has a specialized vocabulary. Bitching about people using that vocabulary rather than just ignoring the posts or looking it up is stupid. There's even a link in the OP to Judoinfo, which breaks down every single technique and also every single japanese word used.

The unique terminology of just about every other activity is still made out of English words.

I know what double-leg takedown means not because I'm a wrestling expert (lol), but because all of those words are english and with the benefit of context I know that it is a move wherein I try to "take" somebody "down" and it involves two legs.

SA has all sorts of unique terminology like "carepost" "caremad" "effortpost" and such, and yet you know exactly what all of those mean because it's in plain English.

If you tell me I'm going to learn a throw called a "bodydrop hip throw" I can work out the general idea of what you're going to teach me before you even demonstrate it, and if I'd already seen the technique before but never learned the name, "bodydrop hip throw" is way more likely to summon that idea to my mind that whatever the Japanese name is.

Par Terre. Suplex. Half Nelson. Turk. Repechage

These are all wrestling terms that require a knowledge of wrestling, making no sense without that context or looking them up.

but it does make sense if its standard internationally i.e. polish guys are calling it nwaza or whatever. it just seems needlessly burdensome, but if the reason is "just because" then the reason is "just because"

i asked an earnest question as to why people refer to judo terms by their japanese names (when nobody ever posts about BJJ using brazillian names etc.). i don't know why you guys got so upset.

If someone had said "because those are the standardized terms for the throws internationally" rather than spending their time arguing that it was a stupid question perhaps there would have been fewer posts made about it. Just a theory.

I don't think its really a word more like a nickname that became a name. I can't think of anything to call it in english that isn't horribly unwieldy or misleading in description.

Also, is "Muslim" a real wrestling term or were you just slipping that one in?

Wrestling has weird terms and variations, turkish this and russian that, I would really not have been surprised if there was a Muslim body lock or something.

You can do an omoplata with your arm too so I think shoulder lock is ok. You can always go into more detail though.

I think everyone should learn the japanese names for the moves because those are THE names for the moves. that way evrytime someone is thrown you dont have to say "OOOH judo throw!" like Joe Hogan.

Or you could be an internet contrarian like we have on this forum. Do you even trane bro?

Way to continue the argument you were complaining about after everybody else stopped.

In case this isn't clear enough, shut up and stop backseat modding. This is the grappling thread, talk about grappling, not about how much other posters' posting style annoys you or how they shouldn't be asking questions about grappling in the grappling thread.

For those of you planning on watching the worlds tomorrow, they're streaming free at budovideos.com starting at 10 pst. Men and women black belt absolute starts at 10:30 and the weight class matches start at 3:00(also unlike most tournaments the ibjjf stuff runs mostly on time).

Graciemag has the absolute bracket here

Interesting side note: I'm almost positive this is the first world championship to not have a former absolute champion enter since the very first one in 1996.

Bracket 1: Bernardo's side is fairly simple and he'll face the winner of Lovato and Antonio Carlos Barbosa, Lovato's way more experienced so I like him in that matchup. Lovato and Faria have fought at least 4 times over the last 2 years with Faria winning on points 3 times and Lovato by submission once. I guess I'll take Faria because 3>1.

Bracket 2: Romulo Barral's half of the bracket is relatively. Alexandre Ceconi has to get by Cyborg, but he's beaten him twice already and I think Ceconi will beat him again. Ceconi and Barral fought last year with Barral controlling most of the match before giving up a pass at the end. Ceconi is the only guy other than Roger that I remember passing Barral's guard, so I guess I'll take him again this time.

Bracket 3: Sergio Moraes is on the easier end of this bracket. On the other end of the bracket Rodolfo Vieira is going to have his hands full with Claudio Calasans. Those guys fought last year with Vieira coming out on top due to a very strange dq. Calasans is a tough matchup for Rodolfo due to his strong judo background(the match I posted is the only time I remember Rodolfo pulling guard, so I assume it's because he feared Calasans takedowns). But Vieira has been on an absolute tear this year and I think he's going to get by Calasans in a really tough mach, before beating Sergio Moraes to make it to the quarterfinals.

Bracket 4: Antonio Braga Neto and Marcus Almeida both have what looks like fairly simple draws. Tussa might give Braga Neto a little trouble, but I'd be very surprised if he bead him. Almeida beat Braga Neto in march at the Pan Ams and I'd expect him to beat him again here.

Faria vs Ceconi: Like I mentioned in a previous post Ceconi's already beaten Faria, but this is still a difficult match up for him. Most people probably don't have Ceconi getting this far, but based on past results he should win here and make it to the finals.

Marcus Almeida vs Rodolfo Vieira: My gut says Vieira's going to take this, but I'm not basing it on anything in particular. I don't think these two have fought each other, and both of them are recent black belts so I doubt they have a ton of common opponents.

I think that's the most likely way this bracket plays out but there's a ton of room for upsets. The only guy who I think is a lock to make the quarter finals is Almeida, Lovato could easily beat Faria, Barral could beat Ceconi, and it would be a big upset if Calasans beat Vieira but not an impossible one. Should be exciting either way.

Edit: With the last two absolute champions(Roger Gracie and Xande Ribeiro) out with injury and the only other guy to make the finals over the last 4 years(Rommulo Barral) coming returning from an injury and coming off a disappointing performance, I'm kind of surprised how few people signed up for the absolute. I know the 2 competitors per team rule is going to keep some guys out(otherwise Alliance might have 5 guys competing) but I expected more guys to sign up.
