That's going to go about the same way as when I roll with Braulio.
This is what I'm thinking. I love Diaz and everything, but Braulio is just too much.

So the Abu Dhabi World (gi) Championships is coming up this weekend, does anybody have an idea of how to catch it? Nemoulette gave me this link earlier http://www.livep2pstream.com/tv_channels/a/abu_dhabi_sports.php but it looks so-so.
I have no idea where to stream it other than that link, but it should be noted that the thing actually was shown on television there. Here's my teammate narrowly losing the final.

At last years ADCC Marcelo Garcia passed half guard directly into a mounted triangle. But off the top of my head I can't think of any other recent examples of guys finishing from mount at a high level no gi event(ADCC, No Gi Worlds etc).

I think my opinion on this is a little extreme, but to me side control and especially the back are much stronger options than mount no gi.
I agree, the mount is a far less powerful position in no gi and gi.

Pretty good match right here, although some of the scoring seems a little iffy (namely the 3 points to Vieira around 5:15 and the 2 points to Buchecha at 10:50)

e: also it's gotta suck losing a match by one point while leading 9-1 in advantages :laugh:
Amazing match.

Rodolfo's setup at 12:20 was some slick poo poo.

Padilla and Sons has a pretty great deal going right now (gold weave gi for $110). They aren't flashy at all but they're super sturdy with tons of reinforced stitching.
Do these run small? I'm A2 in Koral and Atama, should I be getting an A3 from P&S? Do they fit slim or baggy?

I'm 6'0 and about 185 lbs and I have an A3 (or size 5 under their system) -- the jacket is about right for me (slightly on the baggy side if anything), and the pants are a little on the short side. So take that for what it's worth, I guess.
Just bought an Atama :smith: Next gi will definitely be a P&S then, we're the same size kinda (I'm 185/6'1)

Great match. It's interestingto see the guardwork in a gi match that doesn't have the ibjjf's retarded reaping rules.

Since I made my stupid statement before, I've dug into it a bit. Honestly, Eddie is loony, but he's a very practical grappler in the way he approaches things. He eschews traditional things like gis and instead focuses on what's going to be best. That's why there's adoption of outside concepts into 10th planet. Plus lots of weed.
Sorry to harp on about this but the whole 10th planet thing of wearing gi pants still doesn't make any sense

Gi pants are comfortable, many grapplers own them any way, and they don't give your opponent a loving rope to wrap around your neck.
That's fine, I suppose I just don't get training in a getup that isn't really used in competitions if you have ambitions beyond TMA/LARPing.

Training in a gi is larping? Cmon son.
Oh no, I train in a gi, it's great. I'm saying that if you aren't training in whatever garment simulates competition (no gi / gi / KURTKAS :ussr: / whatever) closely then I don't get the practicality of it. You can't, as far as I know, grab pants in any known no gi ruleset I'm aware of so you're just adding extra friction that you won't have as soon as you compete :confused:

Of course, if you just train for fun, giggles or self defense then it's perfectly fine. But that's not really how 10th Planet is marketed I don't think.

I'm not an expert so anyone feel free to correct me, but I believe it was a combination of them actually being less active then usual, abu dhabi having slightly different rules then thee ibjjf, and the ref having the balls to do it

it'd never happen had one of them been from the UAE

I believe I was told it was because judo guys have a huge advantage doing takedowns making them most often dominate early in the match. No idea if I was told a load of bull.
You were. I've seen some white belt tournaments that bans judo black belts but that's pretty much it.

I was doing handstand pushups during a warmup and got a really bad hernia in my lower back and couldn't walk straight for a year and couldn't basically sit or lay down without codeine painkillers during the weeks before my surgery. That was really, really bad and hosed up my life for a pretty long while.

Tore my meniscus while hip throwing a guy. That sucked really bad and still bothers me quite a bit even after surgery.

Was double legged by a wrestler and thrown on my shoulder, tearing my rotator cuff. That hurt pretty bad.
