For maintaining mount, S mount is amazing. Not easy to get into but extremely controlling. I'll often tap lower belts with pressure alone from there and I'm not a big guy.

Mhmm power ride. It's pretty short and more conceptual than techniques so I wouldn't say there's one section to reference. On the topic. I gave our local king turtle a hell of a run using the riding mechanics in that series. He was pretty complimentary especially given my length and weight combo isn't usually associated with crushing top pressure. Xguard86 fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Oct 3, 2022 |

Thanks very much for the tips, everyone! I think I had it stuck in my head that mount is so close to the top of the hierarchy of control that getting to high mount is just something you should always try to do but I hadn't really interrogated that knowledge against where most of my success attacking actually comes from (side and back). Definitely going to keep trying though so I can develop the feel for it. After all, even if I lose position it just means practicing getting back there

Keep mount > concede mount but stay on top > yolo dive for their legs or a rolling back take. But inverse order if we're discussing most fun to do.

My coach told the story today of how, my first night, the guy teaching the fundamentals class was making everyone do lunge-squats down the mats and sprints back. I was never very athletic and, trying to sprint back, I lost my footing and did a full stride face plant. My coach, on the sidelines watching the class unfold, grimaced and thought to herself "gently caress, he's not signing up". Well:

Nah after a couple of weeks at purple you won't have to watch. You'll just know, like how my shoulder aches right before a storm. Congrats, by the way!

Hey, purple belt is when you should start taking ownership of your training and really develop your own game. How you skip warm-ups is up to you!

Well I'm pretty sure I have turf toe and it hurts like hell so I'm guessing I won't be up for that competition that's like 2 weeks away. Probably gonna go to the doctor in a couple days when I get a chance...

A little surprised to see Craig Jones and my coach giving each other a hard time in my gym this morning, but a thrill to see the leopard print bootie shorts in person.

I'm an old man of 40 years and recently started attending my local judo classes. After only two months I have a bit of cauliflower that has formed in my left ear. It was a stupid thing.. we were practicing escaping from hold-downs and I dragged my ear across the mat. I then ignored the pain for two weeks before looking into it. I didn't realize it was something that could be addressed by draining the blood. Long story short: I'd like to get some ear protectors to use for a year or so while I get more accustomed to grappling. Any recommendations? Or if you have an alternative recommendation or advice, I'd love to hear that too! Comatoast fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Oct 6, 2022 |

They make soft wrestling protectors, I'm prone to cauliflower ear myself and wore them for a little while. For me, personally, I've had my ears drained twice and my ears, after three years, are only a little lumpier than when I started but it's a lot less of an issue nowadays because I can just sort of... stop people from squeezing my ears so much, both because I'm more skill ful but I'm also just more aware of when someone is squeezing a dumb headlock for no reason and I can just tap/ask to reset. So, yeah, I gained almost all of my cauliflower ear in my first year and now it's a lot less of an issue.

Head Bee Guy posted:tape it Oh I did, and I went to another class the next day and it seemed mostly ok. The last few days at work have been pretty painful though. Trying to figure out the line between "hurts" and "injured" is a bit harder now that I'm in my 40s.

It was while no-one else was here, I was just doing the morning cleaning. He's in town for a seminar somewhere else (Base training centre?) and I guess my coach asked him to train. Competing at ADCC has it's advantages I suppose.

Also in sparring today myself and my opponent kept trading sweeps/reversals from bottom half in a chain that lasted nearly 3 minutes. It was very stupid but very fun.

So i learned a very valuable lesson yesterday, so I like to play with different grappling rules sets. I've done mma, combat jiu jitsu, sub only, different clothing, etc,etc and I like to play around in those spaces. Over the last few weeks in ibjjf gi ive been seeing what happebs if while on bottom what happens if i just put my hands and arms behind my head and basically the answer three things. 1) if theyre new or have no imagination its like an iron wall. Theyll try mount chokes but get rolled off 2) a little bit higher on the scale and theyll go knee on belly to crush it out of you, in which case if you can flex into it and not let them see you in pain theyll get bored and eventually cycle around to option 1. 3) the good people with imagination will try to crush a rib with their elbow from side forcing you to frame on them and gtfo. This leads to an easy arm capture. This of course comes with the caveat that your chances of accidentally taking a shot to the face increases exponentially. No big reason to post this but, i thought it was interesting how without strikes you can get away with truly ridiculous stuff if you dont care about points until you reach a certain level of opponent.

Do you mean you lay your hands under your head like you're resting, flat on your back?

Pretty much except I am fairly flexible so i kinda stack my arms under my head., so long as they dont spin for my legs or try to break my ribs its fairly defensible. My thought on how to deal with it would be to try to roll me up on to my side where my top arm would be no longer hidden but three weeks of experimenting and multiple different schools and experience levels and no one did it.

My initial thought was start a paper cutter and go to side control but I'm constantly abandoning mount in favor of side control anyway because otherwise I get rolled over.

Its a good thought. People try, Its real hard to dig the collar out between my shoulders neck and head in this config. Youd be better off with trying to thread your or my lapel through the crook to pry my arm out. Or attempting the no gi variant where you crush the throat with forearm. Im not saying the position is the silver bullet , top ten trick black belts hate or even something anyone should do, I just like playing around to see all the possibilities in grappling. Its just a weird quirky position that works out in a very very specific set of circumstances A) if theres no striking B) no leg attacks or worry about them C) high pain tolerence D) your opponent just doesnt know how to cope with shenanigans and E) you dont care about getting out of bottom at that specific point in time. F) points dont matter.
