Does anyone have any recommendations for gloves that can take the place of hand wraps? I'm doing muay thai and looking for something I can get on quickly and wash easily.

I know that wraps are the best option, I'm asking if anyone has any recommendations on the 2nd best option.

This is one of those situations where second-best is so far behind that it's not worth mentioning. I knew one guy who bought those gel knuckle under glove gloves and they broke instantly and hurt his wrists. Get a lingerie bag for washing them.

I have the gel wraps and they add padding but no support whatsoever. For bag work they're not helpful imo.

Also, the net bag is a good idea.

I find the 1-minute process of wrapping up my hand an effective part of the ritual of going from daily life into that focused training/sparring mentality.

Hand wrapping is badass and I wish BJJ had an equivalently cool preparation ceremony. Belt tying is close but doesn't make me recite the speech from gladiator in my head.

My wife, and I, use this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CFVA02O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It really good. I recommend buying the next size up and letting it shrink in the wash. CommonShore, I got a washbag today and it worked great. Thanks for the idea.

https://i.imgur.com/k2sI155.gifv What kind of take down is this? I kinda use it myself because my wrestling is so garbage and I'd love to go to my next mma gym and say I want to practice and get good at xyz. I really miss training, I moved house recently and my old mma gym is too far away to go, but there's a pro gym near my house that's moving even closer to a massive facility and has some ufc contracted fighters and old school pro's that I'm keen to get involved with.

(nidan?) kosoto gake. minor outside hook. I can't remember the rarely-used prefix for it to be a two-legged attack, and I can't tell if he caught both legs.kimbo305 posted:Arguing with oneself about the right name for a throw - that's black belt judo. I know you like to give me poo poo about this, but the name game is helpful for learning and understanding. To think about the names is a useful exercise in thinking about the mechanics that actually cause the throw to work. In this case, the "gari" (reap) vs "gake" (hook) - for the former, the attacker pulls the base out from underneath the centre of gravity; for the latter, the attacker moves the centre of gravity and prevents the base from catching up.

I'm not being critical, just razzing you guys. Someone linked an essay about how decomposable the mechanics of judo throws are from their names, and that the primary barrier is just the foreignness of the individual terms. I'm 100% sure that I would have better throw techniques if any of the throws we're taught in sanshou had names. Having a name for something is an extremely useful mental handle/abstraction for the move while you're unfamiliar and trying to learn the muscle memory of it. You can accumulate what you're learning hands-on to the name you're thinking of in your head, instead of an unnamed concept.

Someone linked an essay about how decomposable the mechanics of judo throws are from their names, and that the primary barrier is just the foreignness of the individual terms. (Yeah I get that "giving poo poo" is not necessarily hostile.) That's the basic idea. I had a conversation Monday night with a trio of orange belts about this exact principle regarding the throw "o soto guruma," which looks like a double-leg osoto gari, but which isn't quite. They had looked at some videos and pictures for their grading (tonight!), but they couldn't get the throw to work, because really, how are you going to chop both of someone's legs out from under them from behind at the same time? Either they're going to be too heavy on one leg, or the sweep is going to be superfluous. But if you get your leg behind theirs and pivot your shoulders - "guruma" means "wheel" - they're going for a ride. Sigh. I hope my rib stops hurting soon so I can start doing this stuff properly again.

Someone linked an essay about how decomposable the mechanics of judo throws are from their names, and that the primary barrier is just the foreignness of the individual terms. As much as it bugs me, Eddie Bravo has had a lot of success with this. The names may be real dumb poo poo like crackhead control, but the point is that there's a lot of names for lots of positions, they're distinct and hence memorable. For most BJJ sequences, it's the end goal or maybe the entry that gets the name. In 10th planet often individual steps gets their own names, which encourages people to focus on them and practice from these positions specifically. My very first instructor was this serious, gruff guy who was bad for this. I was constantly asking him what the names of things were and he'd just say "I don't know", in a tone of voice that said I shouldn't care either.
