There's plenty of videos dealing with a certain thing but I guess you gotta look for them. Ryan Hall has one about the triangle and Stephen Kesting has loads on leglocks.

02-6611-0142-1 posted:So I'm enjoying the new Dave Camarillo book. It's written in this really dorky army-jargon way that's kind of annoying, but the content is great. On the surface it's an explanation of Camarillo's armlock game, which is pretty incredible, and uses lots of weird and interesting positions, and I'm definitely taking a few tricks from it. But what I love about is that there's quite a lot of theory about how he teaches his students to build their game, and it's different to what you hear in most places. He basically encourages you to choose one submission, get amazing at it from as many places as you can, and chase it from position to position. He also encourages you to focus your practice on positions in between the major ones that are part way into whatever submission you're following, adapt your sweeps and escapes to take you into those half-way positions. It's interesting stuff. Is that Submit Everyone? If so I just got it also, but haven't really checked it out.

McNerd posted:Does Camarillo have advice for how lower-level practicioners should approach this? My understanding of the conventional wisdom is that you should familiarize yourself with a lot of different stuff enough to figure out what works for you, and then start to specialize as you guys have described. The book is aimed at people who have been rolling for at least 6-12 months, I think, though it doesn't say this specifically. I'm finding it particularly informative as a person on the lower end of blue belt but I think if you're still in that early phase where you don't understand how all the pieces fit together, "Jiu-Jitsu University" by Saulo Ribiero would be a better choice.

So Belcher is talking a lot about kimura back takes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQo03y2prxY) as the best counter to wrestling shots and halfguard players in no gi. I think he might be right, we have a guy at the gym who basically just holds on tight to a kimura grip while you move around and eventually give him a submission and it's surprisingly effective even when you know that's his plan. It's also a big reason my turtle game works- the 'armpit trap turnover into a kimura back take' trick is great, looks cool and really disorients opponents. E: Here's the guy Belcher's promoting: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xdhyib_no-gi-kimura-trap-intro-at-baltimor_sport CivilDisobedience fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Aug 16, 2012 |

I'm on Belcher's email list and he just sent out some big notice telling everyone to sign up for this guy and his super kimura ninja mode system, but watching the preview video, half of it was just like basic kimuras from guard or side control and the other half was crazy throw clips I couldn't follow, so I wasn't too sure what to think. Any reason this couldn't work in gi too? Other than you don't have as many wrestling shots to counter I suppose? (Well my instructor has a wrestling pedigree so I can expect plenty of those regardless, but whatever.)

We used to do 5 five minute rounds of rolling to finish off class where I was training I liked to try to stick to the basics for the first three rounds and try new poo poo from videos or books or what I've been thinking of for the final two. Jiu jitsu University is an great book but it's a little on the boring side if you're looking for anything creative or off the path so to speak.

I have not gotten very far into Jiu Jitsu University, I've briefly read up to the purple belt section. However, I started taking BJJ classes in April and a lot of the survival positions have been really helpful for me as a beginner. I would recommend it as a nice supplement in addition to taking a beginning level class.

On the advice of people in this and the Ask/Tell thread I bought Jiu Jitsu University and Andre Galvao's Drill to Win. I really like both of them. I steal the drills from Galvao's book for my warm ups and conditioning drills and use JJU whenever I want to make sure I'm picking the best way to teach Ne Waza techniques.

My copy of JJU arrived today. Worth every cent. The entire white belt section was a revelation to me. Every single "don't do this" picture could be substituted with photos of me rolling. I'm one chapter in and it's already been a huge eye opener. Some of the advice is super simple stuff, but it makes a huge difference. "Don't lay flat on your back while you're mounted" just made me go  and I'm still trying to work out why I hadn't thought of this before.

Not as surprised as I am! Edit: In hindsight, I think I initially thought the same thing that I thought when I saw the diagrams in JJU, which is "if I turn on one side I'm giving up a free armbar." Once you how that position sets up the armbar escape in the later it all makes sense, though. Smegmatron fucked around with this message at 13:22 on Aug 20, 2012 |

Yeah, I suppose that's true! I've never owned JJU myself, although I'm sure it would have been very useful when I was starting out. Instead, my first jits book was JIU JITSU UNLEASHED, by Sir Eddie Bravo, quickly followed by the incredibly beginner friendly "Mastering the rubber guard". Don't be like me!

In my first fight, I totally dictated and won by triangle in about 2 minutes. Second fight I started off great but when I transitioned to the triangle again he was able to back his head out before I could secure. I got stacked while i still had the arm but there was no where to go. I turtled and he ended up taking my back, then mounting and finishing with an arm bar. Third fight I lost my half guard half way through and was passed to side control and mount. After some escape attempts it ended in north south where he just defended my escapes. Lost on points. All in all I'm actually happy with the day. I haven't fought blues at comp before, especially taking my weight into account - I was 79 when I usually fight at 70-73, so the submission felt good. I'm already aware of my weak points (getting caught on the bottom) so I will be working those areas harder now.

Apparently this is the full card:quote:Ryron Gracie vs Andre Galvao 20 minute gi matches, no points, submissions only  Does Ryron Gracie actually compete much? I don't doubt that he's really really good, but given that Galvao consistently competes and wins at the highest levels, it seems like a bit of a mismatch.

Reading between the lines of what he said during the trailer, I think Ryron's gameplan is to sandbag the gently caress out of Andre and claim a moral victory when it ends in draw by time limit. That at least sounds like a more realistic plan of attack than "internet celebrity goes on the offensive against ADCC champion".

Im trying to reintegrate lifting back into my training. Right now at my gym I train gi-BJJ on Monday, Tuesday is an hour of no-gi grappling and then an hour of muay thai, wednesday's I work, Thurs is no-gi and then muay thai again, friday's is off, and open mat is on saturdays which coming up soon I won't be able to go to again. Before I started BJJ again I loved Westside For Skinny Bastards and I think I want to do that program again. I'm pretty out of shape conditionning wise (I'm usually dead-tired halfway through Muay Thai which sucks because my pad work gets super sloppy). I might switch to Tues only doing kickboxing, and Thurs only doing grappling. Anyways, Im thinking of doing a Wed/Fri/Sun split. Is this a reasonable split for weightlifting with grappling? I don't want to some wonky fad strength workout of 50 burpees to 20 pushups and would rather get into a strength focused lifting program like WFSB. Anyone else here do YLLS Approved lifting with BJJ/MMA?

I can't help you, but I want to say I am in somewhat the same boat. I did BJJ for a month and loved it, but didn't want to give up my normal weight lifting routine because I really want to get bigger. I can't really justify paying for BJJ + the gym, the monthly fees would be pretty drat high. If only BJJ had a bunch of weights, or my gym had BJJ haha.

Went to the massage therapist on Saturday. She said I have some crazy tight rhomboids. Which makes sense because I feel that pinching tightness between my shoulders 24/7... for the last five years or so. I've done some different things but can't find the magic combo to heal. I think it might be some posture and stress things as well. Anyone have any tips or experience with chronic tightness or spasms in there central back?
