Be really careful with leglocks and pushing the limits with any submission because you're flexible. It is better to just tap in training and learn to not get into that position than to test your flexibility. For example I used to have really flexible shoulders but after doing something as small as spraining my AC joint from a weird kimura it has never really been as flexible. Just tap and restart. Better to begin again and learn how not to get into those positions then spend 4 minutes fighting a submission and learn nothing. Edit for content: Also, I just had my first nogi comp was alot of fun and learnt alot.

Lots of crazy moves work. It just seems like a silly move to go considering your options at the time and the large amount of risk involved. Maybe I'll even give it a try next week. But its definitely a gimmick technique.

I use a few tricks from that site all the time. Especially, his tips for finishing the RNC

Don't they have female divisions? I wonder if I'll have to grapple a girl at the 215lbs weight class. I had to box a girl once and it wasn't alot of fun.

Mouthguard and cup all the time. Its nice to have the mouthguard to bite down on if you're getting choked, plus if you do takedowns its nice. And the cup, well just wait until someone does a knee on thigh pass through your openguard and misses the thigh. I had some 230 pounder do this to me it was terrible even with cup.

Shrimps! Do lots of shrimping; its one of the most used movements in grappling and is really awkward at first. If you shrimp good then you can shrimp out of side control or mount. And try to drill things exactly how your instructor shows them and pay attention to detail. I often see new guys "learn" techniques and just try to muscle their way through them and it often doesn't work, its the small details that make these techniques work. You'll get better with time. It just takes a few years. If you want to be really annoying do nothing but fight for control of you opponents hands and if that fails headlock him.

Dante posted:Generally I would say that 2-3 times a week for 6-9 months and you should be ready for a blue belt test if you're training seriously, though keep in mind there's a big difference between a new blue belt and a blue belt close to purple. Really? that soon? What school do you go to? At my school the serious people who come like 3-4 times a week get their blue belts in two years. Ex-wrestler's get their blues in the time you're talking about, and they've had years of grappling experience. And what do you do for blue belt test? Our trainer will just roll with you a few times and watch you, and then decide you are ready for a stripe or a new belt. Its very informal. westcoaster fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Feb 25, 2011 |

Bohemian Nights posted:My rear naked choke is so terrible and my spindly nerd arms are so weak, that this is a real threat to me every time I fight a stronger opponent who knows about this movie. My RNC is so terrible that I go for an armbar from the back before I go for the choke I almost got caught with that before but only got out by spazzzing out. But seriously just rotate your wrist its going to be hard for them to control your arm like that. Also, I have long spindly arms, and the one nice thing is you can do a one armed RNC. Just grab the guys shoulder and inch your arm up to your own neck until you are effectively collar tieing yourself. I tapped some guy with that at my last tourney.

Grab Your Foot! posted:Being flexible provides you with options and allows you to get away with some things but you're better off if you learn how to not have to get away with them. On the other hand I do wish I could omoplata people who have me in side control. I think thats the best approach to grappling. No matter what your strengths are concentrate on learning every position. I have really long legs and because of that people wouldn't get past my guard easily, and I could throw triangles really easy. So, for a long time I didn't learn how to maintain guard or set techniques up properly. Although, I'm still new going back and learning the basics that I skipped learning has really improved my game. I guess the same thing could happen to strong guys, or anyone else with a natural advantage. Also, I'm going to try that omo plata! How does this guy do it? Is it on the arm closest to your head, or the low one? I guess you have to shrimp and get a knee in? I'm going to find the newest guy at practice and do this.

Grab Your Foot! posted:3. setting up sort of like how you would with the one handed choke with the first hand, grabbing behind the shoulder and hiding the hand to avoid as much hand fighting as possible. That is huge; it lets your free hand to do alot of stuff, like trapping their arm with your leg or going for a body triangle. http://www.grapplearts.com/Blog/2006/11/a-roadmap-for-the-rear-naked-choke/ That video taught me alot of little tricks.

Try knee on belly, then slide your knee across their chest trying to get your knee into their armpit. You have to slide it upwards so they dont catch your foot and reclaim half guard.

I've been trying to get a no posture guard pass working. But I can only get it against much smaller opponents. Its one where you have to cradle your opponent and slowly move into side control. It would be really nice if I could set it up better, but as is I'm really afraid to be choked and I don't really have anything else I can do from there besides rest. Overall, its more of a novelty I think. Edit: this is it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt5QRZCWPlg&playnext=1&list=PL947DB52117D20B47

imtheism posted:Stalling isn't stalling while you're on the bottom. It's staying in a defensive position until you have a chance to advance. They're on top holding you down, it's their job to move and attempt to advance. Yes, there are things you can do, but fundamentally if all they are going to do is stay there and hold you down, there isn't a LOT you can do about it without working disproportionately hard. I disagree. You are on the bottom and therefore losing. If you don't escape you will lose. It is your prerogative to do something. Its common if someone is ahead in points to stall on the top. Mind you getting the underhook and the other advice is solid.

My school we usually have two hour practice. 20 minute warmup of shrimping and those really annoying ground excercises. 30-45 minutes of technique usually with an emphasis on takedowns and a sequence based off that. 15 minutes of positional drills 15 minutes of free rolling followed by as much as want. I find it really weird that they don't let beginners roll on the first day. They may freak out but if you want to learn some self-defence or real world applications you should be acquainted with people freaking out and trying to do weird poo poo. If freaking out is such a big problem what other schools I've been to do is run an intense calisthenic warm up for the beginners to sap their energy so they are forced to use technique and to get in proper shape.

You can work up to doing that. First do it and support yourself with your hands so that your neck doesn't take all the weight. For example if you are doing the neckbridge facing the ground put your hands next to your head like you are preparing for a hand stand. If you are doing it facing up put your hands next to your head like you are doing a regular bridge. Its a pretty safe exercise if you don't overdo it. I do the same workout except for the bridges off center line, since doing those still hurts, and I have never hurt myself from that exercise.

I found I was pretty sore when starting BJJ, but your body gets used to it. This happens every time I take a break from it as well. I usually have stiff joints and pulled muscles in strange places. That being said I also received a rib injury (cracked rib/bruise/cartilage injury) from grappling with big guys, but its the type of injury you know you have. There was no ambiguity, if I sneezed I would double over in pain. I'd say be careful, train light, and if things get serious see a doctor. I think when you're new you are more prone to injury and also unsure of the severity of injuries. My expert internet doctor advice is to take it easy, and train light. Or go to the doctor, or ask your coach what he thinks.

Grab Your Foot! posted:In addition to everything else just make sure to let whoever you train with know what's up, that's why a lot of people will ask you before rolling if anything's hurting, so they don't spend the whole session knee-on-bellying your sore ribs. I hate that, sometimes people are like my left arm is hurt don't attack it.

I'm a big fan of grapplearts.com. There is a ton of useful techniques in there from stephen kesting and from other great coaches. There should be some tips for guillotines. His seminar vids from Erik Paulson have some great choke set-ups, which you should take a look at.

As a bigger guy I sometimes find it difficult to roll with smaller guys since they are very squirmy and fast. It really forces you to tighten your top-control game. I think there is just more room for the little guy to move their hips. I don't really want to discount the significant strength advantage present when rolling with someone 20 pounds lighter than you, but every body type does bring a different set of strengths and weaknesses to the table.

The cryo burns from the liquid nitrogen looked a lot worse than the actual molluscums-- they were just tiny red dots after training, and otherwise just skin coloured. Come to think of it, I may have had those before and done what your dermatologist suggested for fun.

I've had staph but not MRSA. MRSA is like the resilient cousin of it. It took me along time to get rid of staph due to reinfections. You should clean everything you have. Wash your pillow slips, sheets, wash all your towels and clothes. I had it on my face and had to throw out my razor so watch for that too.
