RobBorer posted:Also it may be good to link to some grappling videos to show people how cool this sport can be. For instance. That's not a real grappling match though since that guy wasn't a black belt in BJJ. Some good matches between high level guys are at the Grapplers Quest youtube.

Why don't you do BJJ if you want to compete in BJJ? gently caress.

Oh Em Gee posted:Why the gently caress did the Gracies wrestle? To get better at it and to improve. Some guys like a challenge, and want to prove their style of grappling (sambo, catch wrestling, judo etc) is just as effective and relevant as BJJ so why not go and prove it on their grounds? IIRC Josh Barnett absolutely beasted through the IBJFF No-Gi world champions even though they specifically had banned two of Josh's main weapons, neck cranks and heel hooks (correct me if I'm wrong, just going off of memory) and he absolutely destroyed everyone he faced. Yea but he's obviously starting out so it's not he's supplementing his BJJ with Judo you big tard.

Acinonyx posted:Do yourself a favor and get a mouth guard from your dentist. Best $20 I ever spent. People don't even know I have it in because it fits so well and doesn't affect my breathing or speech (mine is just the upper). What the gently caress?? Did your insurance cover it or something? My mouthguard going to be $300 because insurance doesn't cover it. But boy howdy am I excited to get that thing.

Gomi Pile posted:I thought just the upper didn't provide any protection against having your brains scrambled. Most boxers still use uppers only. You're getting much less shock to your head doing BJJ so you should be a ok.

Senor P. posted:I don't mean to be an rear end but what kind of mouthguard are you getting? Yeah that's why yours was cheap. I'm getting a triple layer one that's made for getting punched, elbowed, kneed, etc in the face. If I was just grappling a boil and bite would be enough for me.

Didn't Jonathon Torres get his Black Belt in something like 4 years? He was also in high school at the time and not rich so I like his fast black belt story better than BJ's.

This is the thing I like about BJJ. I guess since there isn't as much immediate danger when guys are confirmed as good by getting a belt all the lower guys will go at you. In boxing you win the gloves or something and the lower guys will spar with you like a deer in headlights. Also congrats dokomoy.
