Got to roll with a visiting black belt at my bjj club the last two evenings. He was about my age and introduced himself as Tim when I rolled with him. As the clubs resident judo guy he was eager to start standing with me. No surprise given how quickly and cleanly he'd take me down, either with double-legs or just clinch up and greco-roman me to the ground. On the ground he repeatedly destroyed me from top half-guard. He gave me a couple nice tips and they were pleasant rolls. For some reason it didn't occur to me to ask why everyone kept taking pictures with him till he'd left. Turns out it was Tim Kennedy , and he's a nice guy.

Drewjitsu posted:How are you getting them to go flat onto their belly, or where are you hitting this from, standing? I will usually attempt it off a throw in most cases. If they land on their side, then taking the back is pretty easy from the transition. If they land on their back, I will usually grab their legs, and toss them to the side to force the person to roll over. You need to be dynamic when you do this or they will roll onto their back again. If they are silly enough to go into turtle, then just hop on their back and force them to the ground by applying weight to to their lower back. After that, it's just applying consistent pressure and weight to the shoulder on the hand you are attacking. If they don't want to give it up, I will shift them forward so their fist is over their chest so the pressure will loose it up.

I'm currently watching Vagner Rochas 50/50 arm kimura and honestly it's really great. I hit the back triangle a few times today thanks to it and I usually hate going for kimura grips.

One thing it does really well for me is explain how the kimura grip isn't about getting a sub but in fact about getting leverage and position on the guy and use THAT for the sub. I was only familiar with the regular cross body kimura, north-south kimura and the kimura from the guard but the instructional really explains how to use the grip so that no strength is really needed the better your position gets. I would usually end doing it against guys but if they were really strong it wouldn't get anywhere really.

I already use the kimura as a pivot point more often than a submission, but I really need to clean up the backtakes and submission opportunities that it creates. I like a lot of detail. Would you recommend it?

What up grappling Bros, I'm a brown belt now. Kinda surreal since 1) that's like an adult rank 2) due to my life style (80% travel job) I've been a purple belt for over 5 years, which makes a new belt feel even stranger. What's funny is that Im commuting to Toronto now and just joined a gym there. So I'm going be rolling back up with a new belt after a single class with them. They seem chill so I'm not too worried about being a target but I almost want like an official letter from my home gym to prove I'm not just like buying a belt on Amazon. I'm not very good: bird body and not enough consistent mat time. our competitive purples run me over and even the more gifted/bigger blues can make my life hell. I have a good time on mat and honestly don't care who "wins", because getting my rear end kicked in BJJ is still better than like 3 things I do each week anyway. I think I'm like one of those nba guys they keep around despite being comparatively terrible because he's fun on the bench and easy to deal with. Anyway for all you blue and white belts: keep training and grinding because eventually they'll just give up and promote you.

So I got the 4th stripe on my brown belt. I've never really had a reaction to getting a stripe before but this one kinda hosed me up. I guess I always kind of figured that if I kept training that someday I would be a black belt but it was always so far away that I never had to really think about it. But now I've got four stripes on my brown belt. That's it the next time I get promoted a black belt goes around my waist. And that scares the poo poo out of me.

At black belt, you feel like you have to be really loving good and represent your gym well. No one wants to hear your excuses when some animal D1 wrestler gives you a hard time. And when you go to compete, guys like Buchecha are in your division.

Masters Worlds is no loving joke. A lot of the semi-retired from competing guys are doing masters now. So 2016 Worlds,, Master 1 division had Romulo, Lovato, Xande, Clark Gracie, Gregor Gracie, Vinny Magalhaes etc. Even Masters 4 has guys like Carlson Gracie Jr.

One disc in and I am already very impressed. I've been playing with kimura-as-pivot-point for a few months now and I was started to identify some weird positions that arise from that kind of game. I'd been thinking "I wish I knew some tight attack sequences from this confusing position that I've landed in". I posted a short video of me getting owned during a kimura backtake earlier on this page, and the first chapter of the first DVD starts entirely from the exact position that I was in when things started to go wrong for me. I recently covered my garage in mats. I'm going to spend a couple of weeks away from the gym drilling all this stuff in secret with a partner who lives nearby.

I'm still hoping that I'll live the dream of having only one belt for both gis, but at the rate things are going I'll have the brown in Judo before the blue in BJJ. My BJJ club just doesn't promote people - nobody has been given a belt since January 2016, when a blue belt was handed to a primarily no-gi guy who can hang with brown and black belts and who probably should have had a purple belt a year before that. Everyone who has ever submitted me in competition has a blue belt now, and so do many of the people who I've beaten. I actually think the instructor's approach is to drag out the blue belt promotion so long that people quit if they're not BJJ lifers. Almost every single person who he has promoted to blue is still at the club (and most of them are well overdue for purple  ). Of the three who we don't see anymore, one is injured, one was asked to leave in a drama storm, and the third is both injured and departed in a drama storm. My theory is that he'd rather have people quit than be known as the small-town instructor who produces a bunch of lovely blue belts. A guy who started bjj the same day as me actually took silver in blue belt and "intermediate" at the last comp, too.I hate admitting here that I still only have a white belt given how much I like to post about bjj, but I learn through engaged discussion and visualization e. also grats on the stripes. That's where I meant to start the post. CommonShore fucked around with this message at 15:39 on May 23, 2017 |

today makes exactly 1 year since I started training and I've been promoted to a 3rd stripe. I just train pretty much every day and my entire body is hosed up, but hey I'm challenging blue belts regularly now so it's worth it. Purple belts and above still hold some sort of dark mystic art though.
