Also grow your pubes up out of your waistband.

JaySB posted:I stand corrected, he got his blue belt in December apparently. But training MMA doesn't earn you a jiu jitsu belt, you actually have to put the gi on. In talking about CM Punk being a white belt still, it bought up an interesting thought. I never train with a gi, I have done it once or twice and I don't like it. I don't want to start a gi vs no gi debate but are people who train without a gi ever, in mma style training, who get good, can they call themselves blue belt level? Blue belt level in no gi? What if they go to a comp, destroy the no gi blue belt division and even do alright in a gi at blue belt comp level? Are there guidelines?

Are there guidelines? 1) You can call yourself anything you'd like. 2)I don't think there is anything actually stopping anyone from buying a color belt and entering a Gi competition at any level except IBJJF which requires registration for purple, brown, and black , which requires getting the belt from an IBJJF instructor. 3) I don't believe there are conversion time in no gi to belt level. Which would make sense, because there are some pretty bad blue belts out there that have been doing BJJ for three or four years and world beater white belts who've been wearing the gi for way less than that.

I know that collegiate wrestlers or people with high levels of experience in other grappling arts aren't allowed to compete at white belt in level in IBJJF. I'm not sure that if you had a blue belt level's worth of wrestling/grappling and you tried to compete in gi you'd do very well *edit* outside of Judo/Sambo experience JaySB fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Mar 21, 2018 |

There's the fun video of Lavell Marshall, who competes at a high level of Shuai Jiao, in a bjj white belt tournament and it was a little one-sided: https://streamable.com/vbu0e. His opponent was also something else.

I was given a blue belt before ever wearing a gi. 10 years later I’m still a blue belt and probably have only done 3-6 months of gi, I think.

No gi grappling should quite frankly be a different sport than Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It operates under a different ruleset and the skillset required is much different.

Are there other grappling sports that have a split based on clothing? v As in how no/gi are still both considered bjj. Neon Belly fucked around with this message at 15:22 on Mar 22, 2018 |

I love that those fake self-defense nonsense gyms are being exposed. I trained with Nick Osipczack that was mentioned in that article originally but seems to have now been edited out. He left the ufc to do Thai Chi and thought it was amazing, got all spiritual, came back to the UK and took a Bit league fight, came out in this bizarre Thai Chi stance and got blasted in the face with a straight tight down the pipe. His mma instincts quickly kicked in and all the Thai Chi went out the window, he flat out sprawled and brawled and won. Then he credited his win to Thai Chi. How do you even argue with that? He's mentioned as being someone who has accepted to take up the challenge on the traditional side of things, yet he's an ex ufc fighter and uses mma to win fights, at the same time, it wouldn't really be fair to restrict him to certain movement's.

There's a school in England called Oxford Wudang that has students competing in sanshou and offers sparring classes. Sparring is always good, even if it's limited. I agree with Nick that there are subtleties that you can pick up from taichi, but by and large, all the success you see in their application videos are standard sanshou sweeps, even if they have some ancestral relationship to taichi moves. There're plenty of fighters who bill themselves as having this or that background and never use specific elements / moves from those styles in MMA fighting. I think partly cuz it helps to promote something different and partly to sucker their opponents into assuming they'll have a different style than they actually do. Take this Z-league fight between two debuting fighters. The "Wing Chun" guy who gets a whole video promo about Wing Chun keeps the WC stance for the first minute, and does a lovely chain punch. After that, he has a pretty conventional (and lovely) style, but manages to get mount and choke his opponent out after having claimed no desire to go to the ground. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3E6RmzXrnc&t=280s When two masters face off in some dojo challenge and fight incredibly terribly, you gotta wonder how those students don't break down from the cognitive dissonance of their masters' performance compared to the widely widely available video evidence that other fighters are way more efficient and skilled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtsKqQRi-c8&t=38s

What style was the bald white guy doing? The sequence dance movement looks ridiculous and I thought he was the one going to be knocked out.

Those are some of the worst punches I've ever seen, and I've watched CM Punk fight in UFC. The second video is great. Boxer's fighting one handed, southpaw, and not even bothering to duck and weave.
