Xguard86 posted:There was a goon that broke his back when a dude jammed his cup into it for the submission. I don't remember who it was, sounded painful. I've had a cup jammed into my back hard, after I was spread out face down from a botched turtle escape. It sucked real bad, and I didn't tap until I told him "The worst part about this is the cup in my lower spine." and he replied "What cup?"  ... now that I've heard this story though I think I'll just tap when I get face down like that and the dudes on top of me.

colonel_korn posted:as if the situation being depicted isn't pure fantasy that would probably end badly for all parties involved in real life. Well that's how you sell Bjj to people who are worried about being attacked, because no one wants to hear "go out in groups, don't get white girl wasted at clubs, don't try to escalate situations, don't go home with strangers, don't drink from other peoples cups" as their first and best line of defence to being attacked. You tell them" with Bjj anyone who tries fighting/raping you is gonna get cross collared." Defenestrategy fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Aug 18, 2015 |

So does anyone elses BJJ school teach Helio's self defense techniques? Mine does, and I feel that the time spent doing that would be much better spent learning stand up more akin to actual judo/wrestling, but hey I'm a white belt, do any senior belts think they're useful?

Odddzy posted:How about tricks for heavier dudes? I'm struggling to actually make any progress as i've been doing BJJ for a little more than a year now and still don't feel like I can move properly in a few circumstances and can't reset once i'm caught in turtle (I'm a 6'1" 200 pounder dude that's probably goign to stay at that weight). If you feel like you're not moving well, what helped me was grabbing a partner and do "flow" rolling where you don't look for submissions you and your partner are just looking to move through the positions, without breaking "contact". http://www.jiujitsubrotherhood.com/2008/03/flow-drill-for-jiu-jitsu <- Pretty much this.

Anyone have any cool things from bottom North-South they can show me a video of? So far I have a "suicide" clock choke from guard which takes me to North-South, Fish Tail recompose guard, and the back roll escape. I like dragging people to North South and escaping or recomposing from there if I get my guard passed and was wondering about any other cool options.

It has more to do with not being outlandish unless your good, than whatever gender stuff you guys got going on. But prowrestling has taught me, you don't have to be the best grapplemans so long as you're outlandish. How can I reconcile that?

IT BEGINS posted:Am I wrong for thinking that the leg-lock-centric game in no-gi today is less a fad but more a natural evolution of no-gi grappling in general? Yes and no, I feel that all submissions are hard to catch in No-Gi. If your gym focuses on Leg Locks or teaches a lot of them. It's gonna be a lot harder to catch a leg submission. From my limited knowledge, a lot of leg locks can be stopped by just having awareness of where your legs are, instead of just posting them willy nilly on your opponent where they can get ate. That said it is way easier if your opponent has no idea what he's doing. Sorta like how it's way easy to catch an Armbar if your opponent just kinda puts his arm in the air infront of you while you're mounted. Xguard86 posted:My take: Unfortunately from what I can tell most Gi tournaments crib their rules from IBJJF. So until the IBJJF allows more than a straight ankle lock til brown belt. There wont be enough reason for teachers to introduce these at a lower level

Digital Jedi posted:I want to start training bjj. I don't know where to even begin or start. It shouldn't be hard to find a place. Before you go in, look at a couple different places, verify that the people teaching are legit BJJ black belts and are in fact teaching BJJ and not Japanese Jiujitsu or just Jiujitsu. [a quick google search should suffice]. After that call up the gym and say "Hey, I'm interested in trying a class is there a time I could come do that". Try the class, if you like it stay at the place, if you don't try another gym.

Digital Jedi posted:That is only about 30-40 minutes from my work or home so I'm good with that. Pretty much everyone in America at this point in BJJ you should be able to trace their lineage back to Helio Gracie, either directly or indirectly. In example, in my case. Helio -> Pedro Sauer -> My Coach -> Me. So it really shouldn't be hard to verify if you're worried about legit coaching.

Alfalfa posted:Signed up to do my first bjj gi tournament in April. Aren't you a super buff weight lifter dude? If you are really that's a majority of the battle. To prepare for it, try to catch and escape from submissions without using a lot of energy. For that you can use people who really are any weight, and if you are rolling with a bunch of blue and purples you should be comfortable with having a ton of pressure on top of you.

Captain Log posted:Question for everyone here - what's the worst pain you ever felt in any serious sparring or rolling? Or straight up competing? I slipped into a hard cross once that sat my rear end down and had me out for a minute or two Threw a Thai kick that I whiffed and when I stepped my foot back I had to back peddle and instead rolled my ankle to the level of sprain where I almost straight up broke it.

Sprecherscrow posted:I personally have found this one to actually be pretty hard. I don't use it, it's just that when people try it on me they don't get enough torque to finish the slicer and I end up freeing my arm and getting the pass. I assume they must be getting some details wrong. Shown by a blue, but same principle. You get a sweep, and finish it from top. edit: Found it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhXWlW8nqxg Defenestrategy fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Feb 16, 2016 |

Xguard86 posted:favorite sub is the two times I've gotten people to tap to diaphragm chokes. Like barnett vs Lister except I'm literally over 100 pounds lighter and not good. I would totally use the Fatman Choke[It's what I've heard Eric Paulson call it] way more often, but there is a thin thin line between compression choke and neck crank. I can only imagine it's also a poor choice of submission in competition due to some people being lame and looking for an excuse for a DQ win.
