TheKingslayer posted:Gonna throw my hat in with JJ University. It totally changed the way I roll for the better. Technique beats size, you just need more experience. Size and strength make up for technique in the lower belts but with experience you'll reach a spot where people's size and strength will not bother you. I routinely watch my mate who is the same size and strength as me (5'11, 165) beat one of our blues who is a 6'5, 240 lb stocky but athletic samoan where I've only caught him once. The difference between us is I'm a blue belt and he's a newly promoted black belt. Another of my friends is a 5'10 and 145 lb brown and smashes everyone bigger than him. It is just an experience/technique thing, keep working at it and eventually your technical ability will be enough to disregard other people's strength and size.

Size, strenght, stamina and flexibility are all "bonuses". If the huge guys have skill similar or close to yours, it's normal for them to beat you. But if you wait until some new white belts get in and pick the strongest, biggest guy you'll probably destroy him. For specifics, there are certain techniques that work better against bigger or taller guys (for example I never try to triangle choke huge guys because I don,t have particularly long legs and most of the time they just don't fit around bigger guys), but other than that just train more and hope to get more skilled than them.

What are some techniques you guys have had success with on larger players? I've been trying to work some deep half on folks, I find it better than just getting smashed under their top half. Some lockdown sweeps have also worked to a degree. From side control I just kind of keep moving with pressure to avoid them just bridging me off. If I can take mount the Ezekiel choke has been money since I don't have to compromise my base too much.

Xguard86 posted:Get in top and stay there. Doesn't matter where you're at just hold him down. yeah. I'm mostly a guard player, but against someone who has a good 60 pounds on you, it's never all that fun to be on the bottom. Try to be on top as much as you can. Bigger guys often suck at being on the bottom too so there's an added bonus. When on the bottom, I try to move a lot. Like constantly. You really, really don't want them to get a good hold of you where they can use their weight to pressure you and kill your hips (I mean you never want that, but it's even worst when the guy is bigger).

I hit amazon google but there's a lot so I need help narrowing my search. If you can find a copy of "Best Judo" it is really really good. I got mine at my university book store for like 15 bucks. Probably the best martial arts book purchase I've ever made. This website has reviews on a number of Judo literature.

At lower experience levels, I think it's foolish to try to specialize on being a "guard player". You're putting yourself in a disadvantaged position right off the bat. Focus on learning to get in the most controlling position possible and maintaining it.

White belts SHOULD pull guard at training, and then focus on getting a sweep. Otherwise it's two guys on their knees wrestling for half of the roll.

Focus on learning to get in the most controlling position possible and maintaining it. Don't worry I know, and I'm working on not depending on guard anymore. I'm a judo guy mostly anyway so it makes even less sense to play from guard, but it's just what I always enjoyed and my flexibility was a huge help there. I try and not get in guard these days so I get to work on other aspects of my game, but that's still what I do best. \/\/ these guys aren't wrong though. The fact that as a newb you'll spend a lot of your time on your back, probably had something to do with me specialising on the guard and makes working on the guard very important. If you can't recover guard and sweep people from there, you're going to have a bad time as a white belt. Still not an excuse not to work on your top game since that's where you should aim to be, but surviving bottom positions/gettings should definitely be something begginers focus on. \/\/ KingColliwog fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Feb 4, 2013 |

I will actually go over to white belts that are knee wrestling forever and just assign guard and top and tell them they can switch in like a minute or after someone passes/gets swept. No reason to waste time with that jibberish. Thanks for the link to that review site. Very helpful.

It's a BJJ and no-gi tournament set up by Lloyd Irvin's rape gym to help their star student gain publicity (and offer some other guys the chance to win some money I guess). It helps to watch the first one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xba4HKplHQA

He's the same guy who quit because Shawn Roberts grabbed his hands funny, so it's not that surprising that he'd quit again. Xguard86 posted:thats more of a purple belt problem but equally shameful. Knee wrestling has no value, it's a position where (almost?)nothing you learn carries over to anything else and it's not something you'll see in competition/mma/self defense/whatever. Double guard is different. Double guard pull is different because it is applicable in competition AND it's a strong position to set up all kinds of attacks(leglocks, leg drags, berimbolo, reverse de la riva style inversions to the back). If you're training at a school that's more mma/self defense focused than it doesn't make any sense to train double guard but if you train for competition or for fun I don't see anything wrong with it.

There might also have been something about stabbing said homeless people, but I can't remember for sure and this was a gathering of Jeet Kune Do people so they were probably talking about playing with knives anyway.

Id like some opinion on this. Im a white belt, been training for a year and a half total training time. Back in November I switched to a Gracie Barra place in town instead of my MMA gym. At the MMA gym, we did Mon/Wed Gi BJJ (with a really good brown belt), and Tues/Thurs it was No-gi, followed by muay thai by another really good, actual muay thai instructor. Sat was open mat/no-gi. Because I work every single Wed night, I always missed one day of Gi BJJ a week, and back in november I was really missing it. So, I decided to switch over to Gracie Barra because I wanted to switch things up. They do Gi BJJ Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri, and a no-gi/boxing class on wed (which I again, miss for work). Now with a mix of scheduling and my probable ADHD, Im missing no-gi and muay thai again. Is there anyway you guys think Im going to be able to talk to my current Gracie Barra instructor and explain to him that Im only leaving because I wanna do some no-gi and muay thai, and that I may return? Or should I just plan for this being one of those "bridge burning" events? I wish there wasn't so much drama between clubs in this goddamn sport. I realize its a combat sport so these things come naturally, but I should be able to go between schools when really, Im switching sports for a few months at a time because Im bored. I realize this probably isnt the best for my "skills" or whatever, but the fact that I've lost motivation because Im bored with Gi just shows that I need to switch it up back to no-gi. It sucks because my two options are basically, I have to focus on gi or no-gi. I don't really have an option because both clubs (the only clubs in town Im willing to go to) have this schedule that doesn't work for me. How would you guys approach this? I dont want to be basically banned from the Gracie Barra place because I may be joining one of their affiliates when I move in the Fall (because they have day classes which not a lot of places have).

swagger like us posted:Id like some opinion on this. Explain it to them honestly. Clearly there's no issue with the quality of the training or anything personal. You're just focused on MMA and muay thai and you can't make their boxing class because you work. There's always potential for people to get weird when you switch schools but if they get weird, just accept it and deal with someone else next time. Maybe I'm spoiled from living in NYC where I have a million training options though. Maybe see if you can drop in sometimes for gi classes if you pay a mat fee for the day. You probably won't get promoted doing things that way but if you're focused on MMA and muay thai that may not matter to you. Or organize an open mat where you can work on whatever you want at a time that works for you. There has to be a gym that will let you drop in and use their mat space for a small fee. Or someone with a garage or mats in their house.

From a hurt feelings/burnt bridges perspective it seems like you could just be straight with them and they'd be ok with it. I'd be more worried about getting out of whatever contract you signed with them without having to pay out a bunch of cash, which I think could be a lot more difficult. Also your MMA gym schedule sounds a lot like how our school is set up except the gi/no-gi nights are reversed and there is MT every night, but I really love it since I can switch focus between gi/no-gi/striking as it suits me.
