swagger like us posted:I'm up at Thompson Rivers University in the interior BC, so, a podunk school. I remember hearing rumours when I was fencing about them trying to start a fencing club but werent allowed because "combat" clubs are banned. Unfortunantly i'm only a 2 stripe white belt in BJJ and did about a two weeks of Judo so its not like I can really spearhead any type club by myself. From what I understand too the only clubs on campus are through the student union, and I don't think they allow clubs that require any sort of fees to be a member of, not too sure. Oh ok, yeah TRU is pretty small so it's not surprising that they don't have anything on campus. Unfortunately it could be tough to get even an open mat thing going on your own, if only for insurance reasons. I know at SFU they had to haggle with administration over that for some time before they got that sorted out.

So, I've had the privilege of attending classes taught by Leo Santos over the past week as he's been visiting the club I train at out in Newfoundland. (We're a Nova Uniao affiliate). We got 25 cm of snow yesterday so Leo decided to go out and enjoy some of the weather. He's pretty hardcore.

I'm reading on Twitter that Nick Diaz hasn't showed up yet. I'd laugh but given that this is a charity event, it's pretty lovely of him if true.

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) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7DLFqLCFqg e: also it's gotta suck losing a match by one point while leading 9-1 in advantages colonel_korn fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Jun 3, 2012 |

Apparently this is the full card:quote:Ryron Gracie vs Andre Galvao 20 minute gi matches, no points, submissions only Does Ryron Gracie actually compete much? I don't doubt that he's really really good, but given that Galvao consistently competes and wins at the highest levels, it seems like a bit of a mismatch.

nemoulette posted: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.

I'm enjoying watching this but it would be nice if they gave some kind of update at the beginning and end of the episode about what the actual "standings" are. Like I know that Cornelius hasn't lost yet and I think Sean Roberts only has one loss (getting kimura'd by the British guy this episode), and I think maybe the British guy only lost to Keenan? But it's super hard to keep track of. I'm also amused that we've gone from bitching about closed guard to bitching about cartwheels. I guess that's progress...

Here's the other baseball choke finish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87s5aRdrY1w Total armchair analysis here but it seems to me that Gracie could have given up the mount and circled around to his left to relieve the pressure? I wonder if just psychologically you don't want to give up that position once you've got it.

The crazy thing is that the 2020 olympics are going to be either in Istanbul, Tokyo or Madrid. Wrestling is huge in both Turkey and Japan, I can't imagine they'd be at all happy to see it scrapped.

So apparently Keenan Cornelius is leaving Lloyd Irvin's team. That's kind of big news Haven't seen any word yet on where he's going. Also I dunno if there will be another BJJ Kumite episode, but Lloyd just uploaded a couple of full fights for some reason. I know for sure that the first one was already shown briefly on one of the earlier episodes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFCE7aGJOgo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK8EdeBFLOU

I quite like this chart for showing the tradeoff between price and "customer satisfaction" (it's from a survey that this guy did a couple years ago). Hopefully this can help you find something in your price range that's good quality. Speaking personally, I have a Padilla & Sons one that I got for quite cheap from http://matrat.us and it's lasted me over two years.

Maybe I'm just coloured by the fact that the fact that I've only seen Aoki's ADCC matches against Marcelo and Roger, but I've never seen him as a guy who can hang with elite professional grapplers.

I don't even understand how that match got made in the first place. Like I can't believe that any person, at any point in time, thought "hmmm, it would be really great to get a high level BJJ black belt, and put him in a grappling match with Brendan Schaub."

ADCC seems to be getting approximately zero buzz this time around, but there are some, uh, interesting names that have been released so far among the usual suspects (they don't seem to have released the names of all the competitors yet which strikes me as kinda dumb given that it's happening this weekend).quote:MALE Buchecha vs Vinny would own a lot as a HW final.
