Yes BJJ and Yes I have 0 takedowns. I mean, in theory I know 2 or 3, but in practice they never work and I kind of just hope the other guy is lazy, botches his attempt, or I pull guard instead. Truthfully, my gut is telling me to wait for the next comp a few months down the road when maybe I might be a bit more refined, little bit more of a repertoire, and maybe even a technique I feel I'm really good at. As it is I have none of that, and honestly would purely be joining the competition just for the sake of doing it not because I think I have the capability of maybe winning or doing well. It's true I'm probably better than I think I am but I'm also realistic and I never started BJJ with the intention of competing at all. I think it's just everyone else competing and I'm getting swept up in it. Or that could all be  because I'm nervous and don't actually want to do it.

Win or lose, you will never regret going to a competition. They're amazing growth opportunities, helping you discover how you perform under pressure and adding greater perspective to your time on the mats. Compete at every opportunity (within health/budget constraints, ofc) and you will be a happy grappler.

I really got tired of SS and 5x5 because that'S way too much squatting if you're doing a lot of MA during the week. Now I do Candito Linear Program and it's been great. I love the flexibility/diversity while still keeping the focus on the big lifts and getting stronger. Link : http://www.canditotraininghq.com/free-strength-programs/ I also do some yoga, sport (volley ball mostly) and try to work on my mobility and flexibility any time I can since I'm getting older (I'm still only 29 but I can see how age affects me and I want to limit that as much as possible)

This is a variation of Starting Strength that has fewer squats in it: http://www.pendlay.com/MMA-Strength-Training-and-Conditioning_df_91.html I like 'westside for skinny bastards' a lot personally, because it's heavily customizable and has an intense four-day split for when you're not training, and then a more reasonable two-day split for when you are. The four day one is a lot like a bodybuilding program but it strengthens injury-prone areas, and I usually spend a few months a year not training anyway, like right now I can't afford to train because I ragequit a job in december with no replacement lined up. Looks like it's not up on Defranco's site anymore so I dropboxed it: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/46637085/WS4SB.pdf But yeah it's a very adaptable template that you can mess around with to suit your needs once you understand it.

Whiskey A Go Go! posted:It's a combat sport. What did you expect? Seriously? I've been training for 4 years and that was my 7th tournament. I expect people to have enough control over themselves to not blatantly smash someone in the face and then crank a sub as hard as they can, and well it'd be nice if refs ever did a drat thing. If you're someone who would do that please never loving compete. e: To clarify, I started tapping as soon (including vocally) as he had the armbar. The rear end in a top hat cranked it so hard that by the time that he started to let go it felt like he tore something. There is absolutely no reason you have to try to break someone's limb in a small tournament in a blue belt division. Especially after loving kneeing them in the face.

I've been doing Starting Strength since around November and it's been working OK. But now that I can do BJJ again, bike everywhere and am on my feet anyway every day I've hit the limits of recovery. I like kettlebells too but have no idea what to do for progression with them.

While you attempt to do something that makes it hurt less. Without moving back O_o Is it it fun? No. Does it help? Yes. Does it possibly cause brain damage in the future? Also yes. So pretty much like what that guy did. Just take a deep breath and block and weave your rear end outta the way. If you don't want braindamage (I can't imagine who wouldn't tho?) just have someone step in with a jab + cross combo for the length of the gym, and them do it the otherwise around, walk at him/her while they throw the one-two combo at your forehead while you slip and constatnly step forward. Also practice rounds of someone assaulting your head with 30% punches in a constant stream while you dodge, block and weave. (The hardest part of this drill? To find someone who can consistently throw at 30% but at full speed without losing control completely.)

Another self-defense scenario caught on tape. For once, given the proximity of the cameraperson and the limited field of view, I prefer the vertica aspect ratio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27FH-nXP1xU The title says 0-100 real quick, but obvious you can see the guy telegraphing the punch. The defender certainly saw it coming. Everyone else was looking do deescalate instead of joining in, which is good. Though the real water on the fire was some official "teacher voice" piping up and killing the machismo. Read this only after you've watched the video, just to keep out bias in your assessment: More notes, ranking the defender as a Alliance purple belt: http://www.jiujitsutimes.com/blog/jiu-jitsu-guy-got-sucker-punched-while-playing-basketball-and-used-bjj-for-self-defense/

I enjoyed the bjj classes I've been too and all but I keep thinking that if that happened to me there is no way I'd want to end up on the ground surrounded by the other guys friends. Judo will at least leave me still standing (I hope) e: no doubt bjj is effective though

Dude did well from the fight perspective. Failed the self defense aspect by getting into the fight by escalating the words with the dude in the first place. Alliance apparently thinks that member did them proud lol. What I saw before the fight itself: BJJ dude started talking poo poo with the guy, and continued talking poo poo with the guy, gets sucker punched. Edit: lol commentators armchair quarter backing saying to snap that dudes knee. People need to 420 more. Defenestrategy fucked around with this message at 15:52 on Feb 1, 2015 |

The "you'll never play basketball again" threat was pretty chilling and seemed to get the other guy to stop trying to hit him. He failed in actually de-escalating the situation since they actually started fighting but I think it went about as well as it could have in a self defense situation.

It was his call to grapple after blocking the punch. Tbh, from that moment, if I were in his shoes, I'd have made the same call -- to keep fighting assuming everyone else in the court would not get involved. On the whole, this was not a very violent situation, maybe 2/10. I don't think I would have been worried for my own safety through any of that, and in that mindset, I'd have been more willing to go 1-on-1 to prove a point.

kimbo305 posted:Another self-defense scenario caught on tape. For once, given the proximity of the cameraperson and the limited field of view, I prefer the vertica aspect ratio. Just for fun: Mr. Alliance provokes the altercation, “I’ll whoop your rear end!” stands his ground until the last second and then dodges the obvious punch and reaches in for double unders to pull the other guy down on top of him into half guard. The other guy tries to push away and create some space, but Mr. A climbs to his back and, failing to sink a RNC, starts punching the back of his head. At this point the teammates jump in and start peeling Mr. A off, but he triangles his legs and catches an armlock as the other guy is turning back toward him. The other guy throws another weak punch to try and get free, but then is forced to stack Mr. A to pull out of the tightening armlock, as Mr. A transitions to an ankle lock and ends up sweeping to 50/50 and furiously threatening to break the trapped knee. Grading: D- on conflict de-escalation C- on takedowns C on sub attempts B+ on transitions Comments: Considering the string of failed sub attempts, I can’t imagine that Mr. A really posed much of a threat to the knee from 50/50. Better would have been double unders to posture and clinch, with a controlled trip or throw if he’s still flailing to punch from clinch.

I dunno if it were me I'd do my best to get to side control or something and just hold the guy there until he got tired instead of trying to chain sub attempts and injure him. It's an rear end in a top hat move to try and heel hook a dude when you were trying to escalate the confrontation every step of the way.
