Lift, slide your foot under, then use your own heel to pressure the lock until you slip out or they let go because it can be a psuedo-ankle lock from the wrong angle. Hide your own foot after or go reverse half so they can't get it again. He called it "the button". Is that what you're thinking of? It was also sort of the immediacy and fluidity of execution of the technique. If you start escaping before they can really tie it up, it feels magical. Like above though; these days people know more. A lockdown half player is going to be ready for the counters. I still use it but it's not mysterious.

Undoing the lockdown is no big deal, you can just egg beater your ankle around theirs, the problem comes in getting enough of an advantage out of doing that, because once you flip your ankle out you have to then pass just a normal half guard and do it before they rehook your ankle. The only actual counter to the lockdown I've actually seen and done is if your opponent forgets rule 1) never let your opponent posture. Because if you posture and go to a kneeling position with your opponent still locked down you can hit an indian deathlock. Unfortunately I can't find good prowrestling footage of it in action, but here's keenan actually teaching it instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cevaArRRIY note: huh, I learned that you can back spin kneebar up and over into it instead of just sitting up. edit: Keenan attributes this move to a rando blue belt, but it's definitely a catch move, Paulson showed it to me in 2015ish and you can see it in prowrestling footage.

Over in the martial arts thread, I posted on Mongol Bokh and also starting to train in it. Would people here care to look at the video? I dunno if it makes sense to paste the posts here or just direct yall over there. As I see it, the MA thread is very broad with less expertise in every kind of art, whereas here it's maybe strongly focused on BJJ and relatively similar grappling rulesets. I guess I'm looking for general standup grappling advice, since it's not my background and I could have some blindspots, particularly with posture or grip strategy.

William Gibson had characters use practically magical Systema in his second "Blue Ant" novel and it was one of the rare times when it was obvious he had been drinking the cool aid and was really out of touch. But he apparently did some research because in the third novel the combative Deus Ex Machina is provided by a supporting character having a romantic liaison with a young, athletic MMA fighter. So that dude tags along to the showdown and one of the antagonists is dispatched off screen with such immediate resolution that the main complication suddenly becomes that the bad guy has been much more seriously injured than anticipated and needs immediate medical assistance. Gibson doesn't narrative the event but you're left with the impression that someone that has been physically bullying "regular people" for the novel's duration ended up basically literally bumping into a college age MMA gym rat and it was quick, decisive, and a little gruesome.

Ok, I'll split into two. Here's the background: ============ I recently got introduced to Mongolian Bokh. Gonna write up a little about it here and follow up later with a video of me trying it out. Mongolian Bokh is a group of folk wrestling styles practiced by various Mongolian ethnic groups. The particular ruleset likely goes back for a couple thousand years, but the culture around it and why Mongolians still practice it so much is because Genghis Khan decided that it was a good way for the army to keep fit, motivated, and skilled. The "Three Manly Skills" were archery, horse riding, and wrestling, with the latter broadly the most popular in modern Mongolian culture. If it not for Genghis putting his stamp of approval on it, Bokh might not have the same diehard following. Ok, so what are the rules? Like many folk styles, a match ends when someone lands on the ground. It doesn't matter if both people fall; the loser is who falls first. One of the most fascinating things to me about Bokh is that there's no weight classes and no time limits. No weight classes! You could be matched up to any other competitor who shows up to the tournament, even if you're outweighed by 100lbs. If you're a light wrestler, not only do you have to deploy one set of tactics against people of your size and speed, but you have to have another game ready when you square off with a giant. No time limits is an even more alien concept to me. How do you decide how you expend energy when there's no points, only total victory off the first successful throw? There's so many different ways to speed up or slow down the match, to try to feel out your opponent and try to pick the right time and right tactic to throw all your energy into. You could compete indoors on a mat, but usually competitions happen outside, so you might have grass, you might have dirt, there might be some rocks, anything goes. It's at least usually warm in the summer, when tournaments are generally held. The rationale from tradition is that if you're a soldier, you don't get a choice whom you fight against or where you fight. You have to win no matter the conditions even if they're unfavorable to you. In Khalkh Bokh, the style of the Republic of Mongolia, a fall is when any part of your body above the knee touches the ground. You're allowed to grab or touch the legs with your arms and hands. In Inner Mongolian (the province of China) Bokh, you're not allowed to grab the legs, and a fall is any part of your body above the ankle touching the ground. In Khalkh Bokh, you wear a tight fitting silk or wool bolero-type jacket (jodog), briefs, and shoes.  Here, blue jacket has a grip on the jodog belt and another grip on the wide collar. In Inner Mongolian Bokh, you have a short sleeve jodog that's geometrically looser but much stiffer thanks to the leather construction.  The loose pants are afforded by the no hand attacks rule. Often, the leather jackets are studded, which helps with impacts into hard dirt, as the studs drive into the soil and provide a little more give.  Naadams are competition events that encompass all 3 Skills, but frequently focus on wrestling. In the summer, there’s a naadam held somewhere almost every day, so you can easily get all the competition experience you can handle, even if it’s one loss at a time. Competition field sizes are powers of 2 -- 32 up to 1024 for the national level stuff. Large naadam tournaments aren't settled in one day, but can you imagine the uncertainty of no time limits, first score wins, facing 5, 6, 7, 8 people of whatever weight up to the final? A tournament winner gets some prize money and maybe animals, but also for prestigious enough naadams, a jangga, the ribboned necklace you see in the previous picture. Imagine showing up to the event and there's this many tournament winners, and you might draw one of them first round:  The general hardness of life on the steppes, the extreme reverence Mongolians keep for wrestling, and the specific competition format have produced a lot of Mongolian competitors in other wrestling sports. As long as they're skilled enough, competing in sports that are more flush with money can be a good career move for talented Mongolian wrestlers. There's Mongolian world champions in judo, freestyle, sambo, and sumo. For them, their indigenous art isn't something set to put on a pedestal (even if their society thinks very highly of Bokh specifically), but simply one of many proving grounds. They already have a ready to fight anyone mentality from Bokh which probably helps them adapt to other rulesets. On the flip side, the viability of competing in a sport that levels the playing field for your weight means that a lot of skill developed by lighter wrestlers is departing Bokh, leaving behind absolute units who tend to have a more simplistic power based game:     On a side note, the practice of using wrestling as part of developing and maintaining an army's fitness was adopted by the Manchus and refined into Qing Dynasty imperial army training systems. Similar Manchu wrestling styles become the direct ancestors of Chinese shuaijiao, which is frequently billed (intentionally or not) as an indigenous style. While folk wrestling styles certainly exist and use some of the same cultural precepts about what is considered a fall, shuaijiao (and its influence on sanshou) has direct lineage back to Mongolian wrestling.

*for more on my background -- I trained sanshou for a long time, like twice a week from 2012 to 2016, then once a week for a couple more years. I now teach it. In addition to punches ad kicks, sanshou allows any throw you can pull off with boxing gloves on within 3s of initiating a clinch, executed with only the feet touching the floor. And it doesn't reward / require maintaining control to the ground. In fact, its scoring encourages clean separation so that you stay standing no matter what. I was never a throw-heavy kind of sanshou fighter, and when I did throw, it was usually off of kick catches. So while I have a modest amount of experience with takedown defense, my offensive game has little overlap with Bokh rules outside of falls being anything but feet touching the ground. And here's some notes on my 2nd try with it: ================ Ok, some footage. I haven't done watched more than a couple times. I suspect at least to people who can't see the intricacies of weight shifting and relative positioning (which of coruse includes me), this might be like softball -- more fun to play than to watch. But nevertheless, it's footage I can at least provide some direct 1st person commentary on, unlike some of the highlights out there on Douyin. So this is my 2nd time ever doing Bokh -- much improved on my first outing but not saying much. Prior to this, I had done like a month of BJJ and a few months of judo. Not much of that translates over compared to my sanshou instincts*, which lead to me keeping a narrow stance and carrying my own weight in clinches. In my first session, I noticed how much I defaulted to no-gi gripping concepts, namely underhooks and two-on-ones. I was aiming to do more jodog-specific grips in this session, with inconsistent success. To introduce who I'm wrestling with -- Vincent Tseng has a bit of a presence in the martial arts social media scene. He has a lot of traditional training methodology commentary as The Wandering Warrior. He went from a lot of shuaijiao training to getting more into Inner Mongolian Bokh. He was out in Inner Mongolia for a month this summer to really ramp up his game. Since he's Boston based like me, we eventually hung out in person, and I thought it would be cool to try Bokh out, as a complement to how I teach sanshou, which leans more to the striking side. At my current flabby weight, I'm almost 50lbs more than him. His goal is to get up another 10lbs of muscle, which is an empirical threshold for finding success in Inner Mongolian competition. As the weight difference sits, I'm trying to be smooth and not herky jerky into or out of anything, to maximize what I'm able to sense of the exchanges [the audio is really harsh from construction going on across the street] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qadMhiu9_nY&t=10s I'll call out all the moments of interest: - in true Bokh fashion, we're doing it outside. Vincent is wearing Inner Mongolian style gutal boots, and I'm in some rubbery Feiyues. Grip was pretty good on the grass, imo - throughout, I have a decent sense of where the camera is, and to a degree, I either move or allow myself to be moved to center the action a bit. I don't think it really put me at a disadvantage - 2:05, Vincent pushes forward into a leg reap combo. I'm pretty alert and hop out of the way. Upon recovering, I just dumbly push my right hand against his sleeve instead of trying to get any sort of grip. - 2:40, you see him subtly reeling me up and in for a trip, but again I'm too wary for it. I manage to reestablish grip on his belt and do a half-hearted outside sweep attempt (this is probably the sanshou throw I'm most experienced with that doesn't involve arm on leg contact; it's of course common to many arts), just completely bouncing off his well-rooted leg - 3:22, after going through a few grip configurations, he gets two grips to my one, and yanks me forward and then leans down on my shoulder. I'm able to stay upright, but having to squat to resist the pressure. So I'm very up and down posturally, though obviously keen that I'm getting set up. As I make space at 3:30, he pulls me back in and goes for an inside reap. I fight that off, try to heist him up with a bodylock, but fail and am standing straight up, so fall victim to the sustained pressure of the repeat reap - 4:15, you can see the lightness of my footwork that comes from striking. I'm not sitting down on my heels much. - 4:23, after getting pulled in again off of a horse's mouth grip on my right sleeve, I'm trying to get his hips close to mine. Starting again from not trying to grip anything and just putting my hands anywhere, I go for the belt but have no feel for how to get under it, so switch to an easily broken gable grip, give up, eventually settle back to no-gi grips. - 4:46, Vincent goes for a deep far side leg trip, I try to throw his upper body away, he keeps backing up and I touch my knee to the ground - 6:14, good example of the slow buildup pace that Bokh can have. Vincent keeps steadily advancing, switches to an overhook and keeps my torso bent off to one side. The moment I try to reach across with my left leg to his rear foot, he's ready to stride across, block my knee, and pull me over. Tai otoshi in Judo? This throw goes slowly, but I'm in for the ride the whole time thanks to how rigidly I'm held by my jodog. - 8:28, Vincent starts an offensive sequence of leg trips. I manage to get out of the last one, but it's precarious. Again, when you're locked up on each others jodog's, the 2-body structure you achieve can balance on a very fine line between standing and falling. So even if things are moving slowly, it pays to fully invest in trying to keep budging and trying to get that topple. - 8:40, another fun leg attack sequence. I offer one counter in the middle, no good, and then get squashed down at my shoulder again. Try a sweep at 8:57 but am completely read and and countered - 9:39, I forget the rules and pop under his arm to go for a knee tap. Whoopsie - 10:52, I think I'm gonna try something by putting my foot behind his lead, maybe wrench him up and back. I'm overall too complacent with being in this 90deg foot stance, and Vincent sends me over his leg with what's called a wai in shuaijiao. And again, how slow it is doesn't show how sure a thing the throw is. At every step of the way, I'm just behind enough that I can't recover out of the situation. - 13:45, I'm definitely flagging in energy at this point, and I think Vincent can sense it. Once we break grips on one side, he fakes reengaging on that side and switches to a 2-on-1, finishes with a shuaijiao jidao ("squash down"). If I were fresh I would have tried harder to hop around the blocking knee, but I'm just giving in at this point - 14:58, Vincent starts a creeping advance into a throw that only materializes 30s later, once he's got all the marbles on his side, then he commits Some other notes: - the jodog is supposed to be worn down under the shoulders, with the collar running across your shoulder blades, and the sleeves down at the crease of your elbows. Given how stiff the leather is, these are custom sized to your proportions - to really secure a grip, you're supposed to curl your fingers back up once you have gotten inside the sleeve. Obviously how feasible this is depends on how tight the sleeve is to the arm, how big your hand is, and how stiff the leather is. I would say it was pretty easy for Vincent to do to my training jodog with only canvas for the central span of material, but I was struggling with his stiffer jacket and my fingers not being used to it - if striking sports are described as games of millimeters, I'd call Bokh a game of seconds. Either you're literally passing time out there, doing true active resting by backing off / disengaging and just breathing, or you're putting everything you got into a single moment of full attack. In some footage I've seen, you see a pair of wrestlers going at it, and the nearby wrestlers do a gentleman's agreement to split apart to watch the action, in part because they could get bowled over if they don't get out of the way ====================== I've done 4 sessions with Vincent so far, and have improved a bit in terms of using my head/shoulders as a resting point for my weight, instead of carrying all of it in my legs. And clinging to a not-ideal grip for dear life instead of thrashing for a better grip and not getting anything at all. kimbo305 fucked around with this message at 07:22 on Nov 9, 2023 |

Watched it, good on you for getting out there and trying Grapplesports. There's a lot to unpack here because as you stated you're very new to jacket wrestling in general. So instead of breaking down everything here's two things you should watch. 1)For Defense: At 1:37 look at your partners stance. He has his head controlling your head on the midline, by basically pressing his forehead to your temple which makes it nearly impossible for you to have have any power turning toward him. His grips are basically on your sleeve and belt here which is a stellar defensive position as he can push you back from coming in with his belt hand or turn you with his sleeve hand. You will also notice his feet aren't parallel to each other, this allows him the ability to step easily back forth and to the side. This is an extremely good defensive position as for you to get any attacks off you're gonna have to retrieve your midline and either peel his grip or use a counter grip to begin even trying an attack. The only thing I'm not so sure of is how he's hanging his weight on you. I personally don't like it, because if you did manage to do all of the above quick enough you could instantly win by just stepping back and snapping his head to the floor, however; if he's confident in your inability to do the above kind of thing he's burning no energy and causing you to burn a ton of energy to keep your posture upright which is good. 2)For Offense: at 2:06 he starts what ends up being a beautiful attack run. Utilizing an outside foot sweep, probably a fake because he's not really twisting you, which you stepped out side of which splits your stance. Your opponent then followed up taking advantage of your now compromised position with an Uchimata. The only thing that saves you here is that you either knew or instinctively grabbed his belt and used this as a pivot point to swing around his hip, which is the proper defense. bonus: You try a body lock take down at 3:36, it fails because if you look at your feet, your feet are parallel and he is in a split stance under you, this makes it hard for you to just yeet someone, and as you said this causes you to straighten your back and get hit with an ouchi-gari. For this to have a better chance of success, look up my favorite sumo throw Yaguranage, seen below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmn7AU-NS1o edit: stupid nhk doesn't like embeds. edit2: I just noticed that in Judo this is actually kind of annoying to pull off because belts can sometimes be finnicky, but this should work beautifully in your sport because the Jacket you're wearing appears really sturdy in so far as it'll give you a great hand hold to lift from.

Sorry for double post but had to share this because this seemed bizarre to me.Gracie Barra Affiliate FB Post posted:Sandbagging, a term in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, refers to individuals who remain at a belt level for an extended period or those who excel in tournaments but aren't promoted. uh, dude, no one complains about sandbagging tournaments if you're a blue belt, who has been a blue belt for years, being competitive with blue belts. They complain when you, hypothetically, enter a dude who is as skilled as the average middling blue belt in a white belt division, or have a NCAA wrestling champion enter nogi at beginner.

Thats hilarious and that does happen where dudes are kept back because circumstances beyond their control, but to my knowledge outside of ibjjf there isnt any rules saying you cant compete above your given rank. I think theres an aprocyphal story where josh barnett entered a random ibjjf tourny on a lark and as he wasnt ranked he wasnt allowed to compete at black belt, so jean jacques just tosses the man a black belt. Probably not true, but I'd like to believe it.

You're a Judo white belt, but do you know how to do break falls from another martial art? That's the main difference between a white belt and a yellow belt, that the Sensei can be reasonably confident you can do your break falls correctly. If you can get thrown, in a controlled, drill-like setting, and land in a way that you don't hurt yourself, then you know the one make-or-break requirement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbiLot6laks If this look like something you've done in BJJ, Karate, whatever, you're fine. If you've literally never done Judo style throws you might struggle with whatever they're going to be teaching, but not to the point that going is a waste of yours or someone else's time, especially if they're allowing yellow belts - as a yellow bet myself I can tell you they're not expecting them to execute perfect throws lol.

That's the main difference between a white belt and a yellow belt, that the Sensei can be reasonably confident you can do your break falls correctly. If you can get thrown, in a controlled, drill-like setting, and land in a way that you don't hurt yourself, then you know the one make-or-break requirement. Sweet, thanks for the reply. I am a purple belt in BJJ, but have only been training Judo a few months. Had been doing two Judo classes a week but got cut down to one. Then I didn't go at all in September / most of October due to mental health struggles. Things going much better now so I've done three Judo sessions this week (one class and two privates). I've actually been to the gym where I train Jiu Jitsu / Judo everyday since November 5th which feels good. Biggest thing I struggle with in Judo is the cardio. I plan to do a gi BJJ competition on January 27th so Judo is something I plan to put work into.

Oh yeah, you'll be absolutely fine, wear a Judo top if you have one, I'm sure you've noticed the sleeves are different. Let me know how you like the seminar, I actually have a book of his I bought like twenty years ago when I had the very bad idea of teaching myself martial arts in my first apartment or something. Edit: Sorry, the book is Judo Unleashed by Neil Ohlenkamp Jack B Nimble fucked around with this message at 20:48 on Nov 13, 2023 |

duckdealer posted:. I also struggle with it and I dont understand how judo dudes all seem to be these endurance freaks. Im going at an easy pace in randori and these dudes keep pushing the pace hard on me so I have to go a little bit harder to meet them where they are, and after a round im sucking wind badly, and these dudes just go hard in the paint multiple rounds in a row. Then we get to the ground and its tranquilo and these guys just get all of their energy sapped out of them.

My Judo Sensei recommended getting up an hour earlier to do sprint intervals and I have not.

Drilling reverse DLR to kiss of the dragon leg reaps and I hit my testicle so hard on my partner's kneecap that I had to sit out for 5 minutes to recover.
