Roy Dean was a pretty decent competitor, is a skilled black belt and by all accounts is an excellent instructor. As Eddie Bravo has shown us, none of these things are mutually exclusive with being a huge dink.

Holy poo poo the IBJJF NY Open registration fee for either gi or no gi is $110 and for both is $195. Is this price increase in registration universal or just for the NY Open?

Yup traditionally its all single elimination. My favorite was when 2 of my teammates got accidentally paired in a first round match (Normally they should have been in opposite brackets) so that they paid $60+ to roll against their training partner.

He expended too much energy and got tired

Man, I had no idea sumo was so badass. Naked men struggling to heave each other over rules. Does he have a background in any other grappling, or is that all sumo on display?

Agreed posted:Man, I had no idea sumo was so badass. Most of the foreigners in sumo did some other kind of grappling beforehand. Takanoyama was a judoka but got into sumo pretty young, when he was a teenager -- amateur sumo is pretty popular in a bunch of Eastern European countries, for some reason. The sport is more notably dominated by Mongolians who grew up doing Mongolian folk wrestling. Mechafunkzilla fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Mar 12, 2015 |

I have very little exposure to grappling outside of Judo, BJJ, and wrestling (well, and MMA) - is there anything else as awesome as this around? Mongolian Folk Wrestling is something I'll be looking up now, thank you

The Takanoyama highlight video rules, but he's actually a pretty mediocre sumo because it turns out that being a giant fat guy who sort of effortlessly shoves people out of the ring is better than being good at throws.

The greatest thing about Takanoyama is that his diabetic stablemaster gave him his insulin to help him put on weight and then died. This is a real thing that happened.

Yeah, bodybuilders (and athletes, I guess, too, obviously) use it, and natural bodybuilders sometimes go to some effort to try to time their insulin sensitivity best for muscle growth as well.

Is it worth it to go watch Pan Ams for a couple hours tomorrow morning? I've got a flight out of SNA at 1 so if I head down to that area when matches start I could watch for 2-3 hours before having to head out. But if it just a mess that likely wont start on time I wont bother.

One of my buddies from school trains BJJ with Chael here in Portland and he says that Chael's HUGE these days. Should be interesting to see him in there with somebody less ridiculous than last time. Plus the two have a history or sorts, right/

I wish they would have been doing some heavier weight classes so I could have seen some brown and black guys who are my size go at it. But it was still worth the trip and the admission fee.
