Interesting, I ate a dozen front kicks (like a teep you know?) and for the first time in a while have bruises in my chest and stomach in addition to bumps in the head.

Just got back from the Jake Shields seminar. It was worth every penny. It was pretty much straight up grappling and he showed some really great stuff in a very clear and concise manner. The way he showed as to sink in and lock up a guillotine was particulary unplesant to be subjected to. He seemed like a really nice guy as well.

Is it normal to feel a bit overwhelmed with all the new techniques and stuff? We learn a couple new things every time and despite writing things down after class and watching related youtube videos I find myself forgetting things between classes. Also can anyone recommend youtube channels that are good for showing technique and stuff? I've found a couple that are decent but am always interested in more.

It's pretty normal, just make sure your class is letting you get plenty of reps in of a technique before you abandon it for something else. If you can get a lot of reps you will find it easier to commit the movements to muscle memory and then writing it down means you can revisit it later at your leisure !!!

I find it's very easy to forget what you've been taught in a lot of classes, especially if you're dog tired at the end of it. Remember, you're not leaving a lot of oxygen for your brain after an hour of grappling, and conditions are not really ideal for soaking up knowledge at that point. This is why it's a good idea to write down notes after class. I try to make it a little easier on my training partners by going through the techniques I've taught at the end of each one, in a short recap. If someone grasped it particularly well, I'll give them a chance to shine by showing it to the entire class-- because I know how much I liked doing that. E; We had a visiting BJJ purple belt in class today and he said he liked the way I instructed and that made me happy. v  v

At first it's all too much but once you've got the basics it's much easier to process because you've already got a bundle of neurons devoted to hook flips or whatever. If you want some extra study, Get jiu-jitsu university by saulo ribieiro and read through it. You won't get everything but it will at least plant the seeds in your brain. It's the best resource for fundamental bjj

Got a great reminder from my trainer in sparring yesterday to not get lazy checking thigh kicks. She drilled me, and my leg is going to be a giant multicoloured bruise soon. It's easy to just ignore them when they don't hit hard in class but when someone wants to and knows how to hammer it in, it loving kills.

I could have been on one of those clips. I bit clean through my lower lip when playing around with a breaking board.

Weird and unexpected home remedies for charley horse, anyone? Got my left leg treated with the sole of a Savate-shoe, even stepped into it to make sure the impact was hard enough. No pain, but when I sit down and then stand up the leg just falls away, I can't feel my thigh and it refuses to co-operate.

My gym is having an in-house fight night and I'm thinking of signing up for kickboxing. I would sign up for MMA, but I've only VERY recently started to learn a ground game and I know I would just end up getting destroyed as soon as I was taken to the mat. Anyone have any good advice for someone about to enter their first organized kickboxing match?

Apparently doing judo is dangerous or something but all I could think while I read this article was "I wish they did that when I was in school" http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-04-14/parents-fear-school-judo-will-lead-to-injuries/3950164 quote:There are warnings that children could die as a result of a Japanese government decision to make martial arts mandatory for all junior high school students.

Me and my friends have an ongoing inside joke of NO JUDO for at least 10+ years now. We were at a house and in the garage they had a sign that said NO JUDO with stick figures throwing eachother and it crossed out. We found in comical for some reason. I scoured the internet for years and could never find a replica. So I decided to have these made up. Anyways, I think they're hilarious

I've got my first boxing match coming up and thats pretty much what everybody is telling me and it seems to be good advice. The biggest problem with novices is some of them get hit good once and lose their will to fight, the second biggest problem is they gas out after about 30 seconds.

Went to the BJJ class on Sat - I had a great time and there was a sweaty dude on top of me for 45 minutes. I'm signed up for 2x/wk classes. A+++ would flip/hug a sweaty grunting dude again.

Ow. First injury of 2012, but it appears to be minor. Someone put their entire weight down on my left wrist when they went for a wrist lock and I felt no pain until there was a loud "pop" that was heard halfway across the room, and it still didn't hurt so I finished rolling but now it hurts when I put any strain on it and if I squeeze my forefinger and thumb together it's also hella painful. Icing it now. Hopefully it won't linger! Oh well, at least living in the land of the ice and snow means I have infinite icing bags at my disposal. E; fffffff didn't occur to me that this might mess up my weight lifting regime. I'll find out tomorrow, I guess. Thank god I can operate WASD without any problems or my life would be over.

I got given a white double weave gi yesterday by one of the brown belts at Judo. My blue pants have a rip like 30 cm up the rear end of them and he knew I couldn't afford a new gi. And its been repaired 3 times already so its not getting any better. I feel like poo poo taking something like that for free but also makes me feel pretty drat lucky to go to such a cool club. VV Thats a good point. With properly trained senseis and crash mats for the novice players when they're drilling throws, its surprisingly easy to come out of judo unscathed. It sorta depends on who you're training with aswell IMO. Like the guy that threw me on my shoulder and dropped all his weight on it and I was out for 2.5 months just cos of his ego. Its just the silly little things like getting a thumb caught in a gi and having it wrenched or catching a pinky toe on the mat that sucks, but those random occurrences are in every sport, like a rough hit in football that ends up in a bone bruise. Although I think its been proven that major injuries occur quite frequently in Judo. I read in this thread something like Judoka go through 4 major injuries a year on avge. After my first year, I've been injury free so its possible the newbs are the ones getting hurt and hurting others due to their bad technique. Any thoughts thoguh and co?

I think it's the mentality more than the style. maybe it's the whole ippon system encouraging high amplitude throws. Judo guys, at least coming into bjj, seem very explosive and kind of unnecessarily rough. In other things: how long in boxing before I can start thinking about sparring? Hitting stuff is cool but I really want to start getting comfortable getting punches coming at me.

Where's a good no-gi BJJ place in Brisbane for a reasonably experienced white belt? My mate wants to get back into BJJ, Advance only did like 1 no-gi class a week or something from memory... and didn't everyone leave there or something? Also I might be fighting next weekend, a guy from my gym is scheduled to fight at 66kg (muay thai), he's like 75kg at the moment, if he can't make weight I'm his reserve.. I'm at ~71kg today. Any tips for dropping some weight quickly? I'm trying to diet off what I can then I'll cut the rest. Adding a 1hr run to my daily routine (along with 2x classes) and cutting carbs from my diet as much as possible. Weigh-ins are Friday night and the fight is Saturday night so I can cut to make up the difference.

I got those comments when I first started BJJ though even when I was trying really hard to play nice. BJJ guys just really don't like taking falls.
