Yuns posted:There's tons of tats and quite a few BJJ tats at my gym. But I managed to make it to black belt with no BJJ tattoos. An amazing number of people get them at blue belt and under though. It's especially cringeworthy when it's gym specific and they end up leaving the gym. I know some dudes that got the team logo then their gym changed associations like a year later

JaySB posted:Am I wrong for thinking this purple belt is a bad purple belt? he might've been trying to do his game in a relaxed manner that exposes most of his flaws so that the teacher can pick up on them better perhaps? Rolling at full intensity might be a bad idea in that context since the teacher would perhaps have to think more about what he's going to have to do and at the same time pay attention to what the guy is loving up? I don't know, the input of more experienced would be welcome.

That does make sense. But also, I mean, there are some instances where I didn't see any kind of submission escape or defenses, like halfway through where he gets his back taken and just sorta... lets the choke happen.

JaySB posted:Am I wrong for thinking this purple belt is a bad purple belt? Only thing that was stand out is that he extends his arms out and pushes a lot when his guard was passed and the teacher punishes this a few times in the roll. Also he doesn't appear to know what to do in turtle except cover up and pray so he gets punished every time he goes there. I'm just a dumb blue belt who talks about stuff on a dead gay comedy forum so I dunno anything.

I thought he was incredibly flat on his back too and didn't seem to know any basic escape from knee on belly and his turtle/back defense was...lol

Actually, while we are on the subject, I've got a very hard time using the turtle as a tool. What videos or ideas could I implement to use it better?

Turtle can be fun and can surprise people if you take the right chances that set up other escapes.

There's a bunch of options from turtle. What ever you do sitting there and buttoning up is the worst thing.

You attack their arms from turtle, like Sakuraba  https://howtheyplay.com/individual-sports/How-to-Use-the-Kimura-from-the-Turtle-Position-in-BJJ-a-Tutorial

Turtle is awesome because it's one of the few ground positions that's common to almost every kind of grappling. There are great submissions from there in Judo, wrestling is FULL of reversals from bottom, and there are obviously ways to use it to get back your guard in BJJ. You can develop a really diverse bag of tricks by going outside of the standard BJJ techniques.

You would not believe the number of people who cannot prevent you from just standing up. A lot of people aren't prepared to attack if you aren't trying to reguard. There are sit throughs and single legs of all kinds.

Are any of you pajama hugging enthusiasts watching the IBJJF Worlds? Black belts start this afternoon. Also, this has to be the best way to get a brown belt: http://www.flograppling.com/article/57066-lightweight-wins-absolute-gold-at-worlds-beats-three-ultra-heavyweights#.WTML_xMrJ-U "Jonnatas Gracie (no relation to the famous family) of Atos -- who won lightweight gold -- took out the gold, silver and bronze medalists from the ultra heavyweight division during his run at absolute gold. He also beat medium heavyweight silver medalist Andre Wiltse."

I learned a few of these and pretty much if I can use the go to knees escape I'm either free, on top, or submitting the other guy with few exceptions. It's totally worth it to learn a few of these.

The purple belt may not be the most skilled but nothing in particular suggests to me that he is overranked. He's definitely not a senior purple belt but a skilled opponent can make you look super dumb even if normally you do well against people around your skill level. A lot of stuff you may think he should do may be subtly blocked by the black belt. It's sometimes hard to see pressure and balance and control from a youtube video. I am uncertain why they would show a dominating roll against a visitor and place it on youtube. Seems a little obnoxious.

omg chael crash posted:My brother(a two stripe white belt I think?) just moved to NYC and wants to train at Renzo's. How would you say the school is for people of his level? He's torn between that or Marcelo's. I've trained at your joint the few times I've been through town and it looked beginner friendly but I'm a long way past white belt so I can't really judge.

I like training with a gi and I don't think the outfit itself is the problem, but as I try to sit through the World Championships, I find myself thinking that Eddie Bravo was right about the rest. Twelve mats of people simultaneously riding their advantages to the buzzer is a lousy way to showcase the best Jiu Jitsu.

Yuns posted:I'd go with what Yuns says, your brother should try out a few places just to make sure he likes the vibe of the place he want to go train at but for me, the vibe of the place fit fine. I have no idea how serious he is about BJJ but people are helpful and the class keeps going after it ends. lots of the instructors from other schools dropping in on the mornings stay for a while longer and help out with privates and stuff to help people training for competitions and stuff. It's definitely beginner friendly.

He said he went to Renzo's, Marcelo's, and Clockwork and grabbed schedules. For what I understand, the schedule at Renzo's fits him best

With only 2 active mats, both with commentary, today is much more watchable coverage for IBJJF Worlds. Also, some good matches. Bruno Malfaicne just had a pretty rad finish.

I like the singular focus of Bernardo Faria. Over-under pass all day. If it works, mounted triangle next.
