Would this be legal in an IBJJF competition or would it be considered a neck crank/can opener?

Depends on the ref and if you accomplish the pass fast enough. I would not risk it.

and this looks similar:

This is very very close to what it is, just without the can opener part. Thanks


edit:

This is as close as I'm gonna get, I think. I wonder why the dude chooses to pass over the guys legs instead of just finishing it like a double under pass?

In gi you can grab the lapels instead of the head (to stop the double ankle sweep). It takes a bit of practice to get the balance right.

I'm trying to find a open guard pass. Consider if you're standing and you've broken your opponents grips and so he only has his feet on your hips. There's a pass I've seen before where you get a grip on the inside of both their pant legs or cup the front of both of their knees and push their knees up towards their head and off your hips. You then go and sit on top of their butt and finish the pass by sliding their legs to the side and you go the opposite direction. Anyone know or seen this and know what its called?

I have a video of this exact pass but I don't think pornhub links are allowed on the forums

I take fish oil/omega-3 pills and if I think my joint is in danger just tap early to avoid any damage.

There is an idea of a Yuns, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.
Not worth commenting on really other than to say that nearly everyone in R/BJJ is pretty much retarded and most of those opining on RGA and DDS have no idea what they are talking about. Eddie is still an RGA guy and other than that I'm not going to say much because Eddie is an adult and can speak and act for himself.

edit: As a side note, me (ClassicSteeze on r/bjj), shotintheface2, OptimalHuman, OttaviaB, NewYawkCity are all Renzo NYC people. I think Darce_Knight is somehow affiliated with us but I don't know his real name. Literalply claims to be a 14 yr Danaher afternoon class guy but I have no idea who he is and he seems misinformed about how the leg stuff originated.

Would r/BJJ be the most active BJJ/grappling forum on the internet? Mixedmartialarts.com and Sherdog look like they're stuck in circa 2004 web 1.0.

There's also Bullshido that's still up but I was asking myself the same question. Content and discussion wise besides this thread, I wouldn't know where to look.

r/BJJ sadly, is mostly dudes posting trip reports of their first week of classes and how they are hooked to the lifestyle, drama, product sponsoring, celebs that now train and weird lifecoach advice.

I find that really loving gross too. Some people are obsessed with her love life while many well known BJJ guys do some incredibly sketchy poo poo and no one thinks its appropriate to call them out on it in reddit.

This is the best thread in my experience for decent discussion about BJJ these days. OT used to have a really good, but small, community of MMA/BJJ people (a few were notable) but they shut that subforum down given that OT is deader than SA.

Why you'd subject yourself to Reddit's style of discussion is beyond me.

Edit - I forgot that Hillary Williams also posted there a bunch and would give pretty cool blog posts about her trips to Brazil she'd take. No clue what she's been up to since 2011 though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Williams/

also Ben Stark who got onto TUF before losing his elimination bout was a regular there too along with photography guys like James Law & Ryan Loco.

Was a pretty good subforum.

I don't think there's any science behind physical therapy, best stick to the cordyceps along with flotation tanks and exogenuous ketones.

Showing up is the hardest part. Make sure to have fun. It's not a fight, and nobody on the mat is judging you. If you keep reminding yourself of that and treating it as fun, it will be fun!

I will say with no irony that he and Bravo constantly talking about how easy it is, fun and that anyone can do it did make me finally ask in this thread were to go. I found a place and have been going for two years now (barring a few months for injuries). Granted I've been a huge fan of MMA for years prior but never took the plunge to train anything.

Don't forget the daily affirmations of how BJJ saved their lives, how they used BJJ in real life, dank BJJ memes they poo poo out, and being generally creepy to female BJJ fighters on the subreddit and in their dojos. I mean, how many times does someone need to ask how to not have a boner when rolling with a woman before it becomes unsettling to the general population. The answer is never.

I did like the stories the Black Belts post on the BJJ subreddit as they are inspirational. Then someone shared a video where a high school girl gets thrown to the pavement by her ex for being shoved and the whole subreddit rooted for the ex slamming the girl to the ground with the power of BJJ and I stopped going there.

The Judo subreddit is pretty dead and but you get to see cool old school judo videos that people dig up from time to time. You do get people complaining about no leg grabs a lot.
