Edit: also got me one of those anaconda knee braces. I dont know if its actually helping but having a knee pad that doesnt slide is game changing. Ive never really been one for knee cuts and shots, because I never liked the impact on the knee, but with this I feel invincible.

I finally have a bit of confidence back in the toe, six months after surgery and thinking I might do my next comp (first at blue belt  ) in March. I've really been trying to work sweeps from open half and butterfly half lately and it's been a heap of fun

I'm still out here flubbing basic Judo techniques, but indefinably improving in stand up nonetheless. I opened my big mouth and said I'd go to the local BJJ tournament feb. 24th and now, horrors of horrors, I have to actually address the fact that I'm out of shape and overweight, bleh.

I had another Bokh session, and among several things to work on, I realize I'm not great at pairing my arm movements for grip breaks and unbalancing. That is, if I'm trying to rip one hand back, I frequently benefit from pushing the other hand forward to accelerate/exaggerate the effect. Now it makes sense why those pummeling drills are so fundamental. Coming from striking, it's certainly less intimidating to have so many things in front of me that I have to improve on. Just knowing I did it in one sport helps me understand the pace I'm working at to get better.

Finally back on a consistent training schedule again after several months of travel, illness, etc. Haven't felt motivated to focus on anything in particular while training, but I do seem to be magically catching reverse armbars all of a sudden even though that's something I've never really worked on or thought much about from an offensive standpoint.

And that made it feel better when I try a throw and nothing happens. Edit: Been sick and sleep deprived, so I've not trained since Saturday. Last week's training was good though lol.

Tacos Al Pastor posted:My daughter lost all 3 of her matches because her willingness to go to her back too easily, however her ability to break posture from a standing position was on point. It will be a learning curve for both of us. The hazy memories that I have long ago of one of my teammates transitioning from bjj to wrestling (for high school) was that: 1) you never want to go to your back, which is a hard habit to break; and 2) if you can end up in the guard of your opponent, you've basically won. (which is a real forehead slap moment when you realize).

duckdealer posted:Craig is good. Not a big Keenan guy though personally. I've tried to talk to Keenan a couple of times about tournament stuff when I have seen him at events and hes always been a little unapproachable. Training is going good. Despite still being the FNG at my gym here in the Northeast, I'm starting to become part of the crew. I think helping to teach a class brought some cohesion and a sense of where I come from in my jiu jitsu. Being an upper belt in a new gym is both a blessing and a curse. Blessing in that guys will look to you for guidance on concepts, and a curse in that everyone wants to kick my rear end :P I'm loving the Nogi class which is taught by a really good black belt. Lots of leg lock concepts I've been lacking in my training.

idk how my training is going right now. I'm in a low-morale ebb I guess. Jits I'm not really getting any coaching and spending a lot of time helping new white belts with the same poo poo I've helped new white belts with a million times and I'm kinda sick of it. Judo I'm feeling old and slow and getting tossed around by super athletic orange belts who are just way faster than me, plus our regional Judo organization has a ridiculous boner for extraneous paperwork rn and I kinda makes me want to face god and walk backwards into hell. I did Gerby someone almost to unconsciousness (he didn't realize he was being choked until he was on the edge of going out and had to sit out the remaining 3 minutes of the round) last week so land of contrasts I guess.

I'm sure this isn't news to you, but it could be for someone else reading. There comes a time you just have to take improvement into your own hands. Just think of something in your game you want to do better at and start learning about it. Talk to your coach or teammates directly about that thing if you can or watch some instructionals. Then either tell your rolling partners you want to work on those concepts, or if they're a lot lower skill than you, work your way there every roll.

Personally, at the moment I'm just trying to maintain fun while rolling. The only other goal I have is to try and stop getting pulled too deep into other people's attacks. I can often notice stuff is going poorly for me but don't really do anything to get out until it's too late. I want to get better at escaping things before they even become a problem.

Ok, I found a new source of motivation. There's a white belt who seems to have become so offended by me rolling with him without using my hands (as I often do with white belts now if I feel like working on my open guard) that he complained about it to our head instructor, who naturally found his frustration hilarious. I'm gonna make it my mission to hit him with every flashy and/or BS move I can think of until he learns to appreciate the absurdity that's possible when there's such a big experience gap between two people*. Gonna start with this one, but I'm happy to take any additional suggestions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDJggLAD7tM *he's also a cop, so knocking him down a few pegs is basically a moral imperative

Sherbert Hoover posted:If he taps start yelling STOP RESISTING!  The thing that I find the most morale busting is always gonna be when the higher belt just effortlessly plays catch and release on like fifteen different rapid fire submissions. They'll take my back, get a choke and just as my hand comes up to tap they'll let go and switch to an armbar, then climb into mount, etc etc

Oh yeah, every cop I roll with already gets the "STOP RESISTING" kimura if RATM is on the speakers, that's just automatic. Bonus points if you get both arms at once!

No hand scissor sweeping fresh white belts never gets old and I can’t even imagine the satisfaction of doing it to a cop. Make sure next time he complains you pull out the “I’ll stop doing it when you stop letting me.”

My straight ankle locks were getting a lot better apparently, and last month 3 of the black belts and one of the brown belts all decided to spend a bunch of time with me improving them. They went from "a hail Mary that sometimes lead to a sweep or sub" to "If I grab your ankle and you don't immediately pull it out you're in trouble" Specifically learning a new finish using the Aoki lock grip instead of grabbing my own lapel, butterfly ashi instead of single leg X and bracing their heel on my ribcage and finishing by flexing my shoulder blades instead of arching my back made the finish come so much easier in more places. My goal for last month was actually to practice my guard passing, but instead I learned more footsie. Whoops.

I'll try again I'll see if I can do it with words A classic "Dean Lister" style footlock/achilles lock involves a guillotine grip on the foot, and if we're doing a very stiff version, often that's going to be attacking arm with the palm in and we often want the forearm of the attacking arm as high as possible and perpendicular to our own spine when attacking, so shrugging and the hand of that attacking arm goes on the sternum and is reinforced by the other arm. The attacker's weight goes down into the foot via the arm pit, shearing down across the forearm under the achilles, with some other variations within that for different versions. This tends to produce a forceful tearing pain in the ankle and a crushing/folding experience in the foot and toes. What Imanari had us do for the "Aoki" style one, with the slipping heel, is instead have that arm drop 45 degrees or so, by reaching across our body toward our far hip bone (i.e. attacking w/ right arm, reaching for own left hip), producing a more horizontal pressure instead of the mostly vertical core breaking action of the Lister lock. This means that the knuckle of the big toe of the targeted foot gets anchored in the armpit, kind of on the ribs, and the heel gets dragged in the other direction across the attacker's body, shearing the ankle with a hypersupination, made worse by the torso turns, looking over the shoulder etc. This tends to produce a very localized, very sharp, stabbing pain in the ankle. If that description doesn't work I'll see if I can find my notebook where I drew some diagrams when I was at the seminar.
