And Marc Dacascos is a dreamboat  It has the absolute most cliché-d story in the history of sports and martial arts films. I certainly wouldn't recommend watching it sober.

Choke is a cool old Rickson documentary, with a happy ending -- The american kickboxer guy fulfilled his dream of driving the bobsled in the Olympics

Been back at jits for a couple weeks now. I'd forgotten how slow and deliberate everything is. I have to force myself to not seem spastic compared to everybody else. The upside is it is allowing me to work myself into BJJ shape, since it is nowhere near as tiring as Judo. It also hurts way less.

Had my first run in with a serious lapel guard player on Friday. God drat that poo poo is frustrating, I managed to defend his subs and sweeps but couldn't pass for poo poo. Anyone have any tips (other than lol don't let him get the grips) or know any good videos showing how to pass it?

Yeah that stuff is infuriating, I would definitely recommend studying the system so you can get into the guard player's head better. IIRC Buchecha eventually passed the reverse de la worm by using a combination of folding and heavy circle passes to tire Keenan's legs and draw them out to the side so he could spin behind them to secure the pass. I personally like the counter proposed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYkqZkxv_ZA because I feel like worm guard's threats are limited before you start throwing your weight around, so it's okay to take the time to set up a complex response.

I've experienced some non black belt worm guard and I agree that if you remember they're pretty stuck to you too then you're better off. It's just like spider guard, if you go nuts and thrash and spin it's just playing into their counters. I keep good posture and try to keep them in positions where they're using energy. eventually the muscles get too tired and it's hard to hold. These are blue purple level guys who aren't competition monsters. I don't think I could do it vs guys who are conditioned to hold that guard.

I start BJJ on January 5th. I ended up signing up for an 8-week intro class at the Renzo Gracie school in Portland. 3 classes a week for 8 weeks will surely kill me. Any recommendations on a good gi that won't cost too much but, most importantly, won't suck too badly?

I took a class almost 10 years ago at university and it was tough back then, and now I'm older and less flexible, so it should keep me good and tired all week.

Unrelatedly, this is a cool rundown of RPW, which was an insanely awesome idea that I used to catch on PAX and my old wrestling coach was fanatical about to the point of owning tshirts and posters. http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/12/30/7460249/the-league-of-supermen-real-pro-wrestling-feature-daniel-cormier-toby-willis

Imagine if the movie was about you, and you had friends asking "you did coke then let a creepy old guy grind and grunt on top of you?" Also he was born in 1960 and was a jock. Probably doesn't have liberal views about homosexuality. e: I didn't think it was that bad either. But I can see how Mark might take it.

That's why he carried a gun around. It was like Richie Rich, all grown up and hooked on drugs. That is exactly what Du Pont was like. At one point I actually thought he cared about me, but it was a weird feeling, like there might have been something sexual to it. No homo, though
