I wonder how many takes they did, and how bad the ones they didn't use are...
I used to think I had just about the worst double of any blue belt anywhere, but that dude takes it to the next level.

That really wide hip throw in double vision to mask the guy losing his balance is my favorite.

I just learned the best counter for a double leg takedown.

1: Have your partner do a terrible double leg takedown.

2: Turn sideways a bit.

3. Be 150 lbs heavier than your partner.

4. And that's all you need!

Well Kesa Gatame is a "chest compression side control choke" that's actually a neck crank.

I've gone from the guy at the club everyone can tap out to the guy at the club that mostly everyone can tap out!

Yeah I think he was going for a flying triangle or something. I don't know for sure but I imagine the kid in black just went through in the bracket since it was an accident and the guy in white obviously couldn't fight any more. :(

Who would have thought that jumping onto your opponent with no grip and no technique could lead to injury?

I did a grappling competition where it was No Neck Cranks allowed , to the point where a guy got disqualified for holding the back of the other guy's head to lock in a triangle. My opponent instinctively went for a guilltine at one point and I tapped out really quickly on purpose so he would lose by DQ. The moral is, it's good to win

I won a Judo match by Getting Slammed From Guard. Easiest W ever.

How come none of my training partners ever suffer a debilitating calf cramp when I'm the one stuck in a submission hold?

Probably because it has a low chance of working against someone trying to take your back from the turtle. The guy on top isn't going to grab so low around your body like that, he's going to be working his hand high up, between your upper arm and the back of your head (I forget if that's a quarter or half nelson) to put forearm pressure on your head and chest pressure on your back while he tries to spin for a back take. Or, maybe working high up for a wacky collar choke.

Remember when you were initially shown the Kimura from a low reverse bearhug around the waist? It works well because grabbing low around the waist gives you room and leverage to hip out and go above the hand and under the arm. If the bearhug was right under your armpit, it would be a much more difficult fight. This is kind of the same principle.

With the sitout from turtle, whatever side they overhooked is the one you capture with the opposite arm, same side knee up, thrust the opposite foot perpendicular to both of you, same side elbow the sky, and switch your hips so that you're looking at the ceiling. I used to be so excited to take the back that I would only switch my hips about a quarter of the way before trying to un-switch them and work on the back.

That is a very nice turtle. I do not work with a gi, so there are probably technical things I have no consideration for. Most people I work with don't cross their arms, they just put their forearms vertically on their chest. My go to from face to face turtle is either same side quarter nelson turnover or same side wrist grab, opposite underhook to figure four grip, hop the knees over their back, and belly down armbar.

Break falls and non wooden floors?

I have no worries.

The most comfortable falls I've ever taken were on a firm 1.5 inch roll-up wrestling mat over those hollow/foam filled wooden floors dancers use. The worst was tatami mats over concrete.

Instead of doing the old wrist flick, just pass their gripping hand to your other hand and show them you can hold them.

Also, the old head-touch is great psychologically and for range-finding. Don't hold the hand there though like the playground bully, because that's just an invitation to suplexville by way of duckunder ave.

I can't wait to see Schaub get destroyed. I am still amazed that a BJJ brown belt was not only unable to submit Lavar Johnson, but also unable to keep him from getting back up repeatedly. It was even funnier when I learned during the fight that he was in fact a brown belt and not purple.

During that game-day thread I joked that Schaub would win the fight, and his BJJ coach would run up to him smiling and clapping, holding a crisp new blue belt.

If you haven't had any surgery yet just double check with your doctor. Those incisions for removing bowel are big if you eventually need that and I doubt you would want to irritate your already angry colon. I say doctor, then do what feels right. Crohns is a bitch.

You'll be fine I have crohns and a small bowel resectioning and the scars are nothing to worry about. Just make sure you are absorbing your nutrients because you'll need them to recover.

Well, that's some bullshit. Not my fault some people don't know how to fall.

Have they changed the rule where if I'm an idiot and get picked up out of an armbar and I hold on like a moron and then the guy shrugs and shucks me off and my weak little pencil legs can't hold on and I fall off on my head because I don't know how to fall he gets DQed for slamming?
