I know Iran has a really strong wrestling program, how good was the guy Dake fought?

He wrestled Hasan Tahmasebi who is 31 years old and took second in the 2005 and 2007 World Cups. He might be a bit past his prime but he is certainly not an easy out.

Here's the video:

Would anyone mind breaking this down? I've been given to understand that you can't just shoot in without doing something to clear their arms out of the way (either distracting/faking them out or physically clearing them or whatever), or they can just block you easily. Here it looks like his first shot gets stuffed for exactly that reason, but then he just blows through the resistance and does it anyway. Of course that would be a great oversimplification of the technique involved even if it were true, but surely it can't be true?

As Khubetzy goes for the underhook, Burroughs gets his hands behind Khubetzy's knees and establishes almost picture perfect head position. He keeps his head up and his back straight and just drives through it.

It's also a bit like this guy in that some people are just such freaks that a lot of the normal rules just don't apply.

A choke would have been very hard to pull off there. Burroughs has head up with is forehead right in the center of Khubetzy's chest. With his head up back straight it would be nigh impossible to push his head down into the armpit to set up a guillotine. If Burroughs had his head down with the crown of his head in the chest it would much easier. It's a lot like being on top in guard. Back straight, chin up makes it very difficult to break posture. But if you are looking down at your opponent it's almost impossible to keep your posture.

The other thing that Burroughs does arguably better than anyone else is that he keeps driving and powering with his legs. He never gives up his forward momentum he continuously adds to it. You can see it in the takedowns from his gold medal match in London.

If anything I'm imagining something like an ezekiel. Or this one choke Daniel Gracie teaches, which I don't know the name of, where from a Thai clinch you slip one forearm down across their throat and grab your biceps.

But that said, no doubt I'm being wholly irrational in worrying so much about this which is probably my issue.

If you're hitting that strong of a double and your opponent has the timing, skill, and presence of mind to go from defending the takedown to sinking an Ezekiel in a split second like that, tip your hat to him and shake his hand. You probably weren't going to beat him anyway.

Jordan Burroughs won his third straight world championship today, out scored his opponents 34-3, and has now won 65 straight at the international level.

Jordan Burroughs broke his ankle and had surgery to insert a plate and 5 screw. LESS THAN FOUR WEEKS AGO

He also said that since his surgery he had only wrestled live once before today, and started drilling again just last week. His entire training regimen for the world championships was riding an airdyne. And he still stomped his way to a gold.

I hope so because I don't think there is enough interest for a thread of it's own. I'll probably do a fantasy league thing for NCAAs again this year though.

Penn State @ Iowa will be on the Big Ten Network at 9:00PM Eastern on Saturday night. Everybody should watch because it should be a good meet with multiple matchups between top 10 ranked guys. And Hawkeye wrestling fans are the worst people in the entire world so you can join me in mocking them as they yell such insightful comments as "stalling" and "what is he doing ref?" within seconds of the start of each match, regardless of what is happening on the mat.

And it'll be my first chance to post "sit down and shut the gently caress up Tom brands"

I'm interested to see how this all plays out, if anything happens at all. My school is a Carlson Gracie affiliate. We actually had Junior in for a belt promotion/seminar thing since I've been training. I know my instructor is legit, but there was some drama around the patches, and the competition team name recently. Something like Junior wanted some extra cash to keep the Carlson Gracie name on the patch, so we ended up getting different patches with just the instructor's name on them.

That's one of the things I love about my current coach. He's been around long enough, and is respected enough that he doesn't have to claim any association and doesn't give a poo poo about things like patches.

I joined a BJJ school this week and I've only taken one class so far, but can any of you give a newbie some advice that me any tips as to things I should/shouldn't do in class?

I joined primarily as a way to get a different kind of exercise other than running, so I don't have a lot of background on etiquette and I don't want to do anything dumb or that could be considered disrespectful :ohdear:

Slow down, breathe, no really slow down, constantly remind yourself to breathe.

Seems like everyone focused on ball washing as opposed to etiquette. From my experience, bjj classes are much more informal than the traditional martial arts classes I've taken. I wouldn't worry about any sort of disrespectful gestures especially since you're already aware of it. The most basic advice is prevent injuries to yourself and others (don't spaz, practice moves with control, and be mindful of taps).

As a sidenote, whenever you roll let your partner know beforehand that you're new and if you have any existing injuries/ailments (shoulder, knee, etc).

I think it's because those of us who have been training for a while can deal with newbies that spaz, that muscle, that cross face too hard, really that do anything so long as they are chill and don't smell.

So be chill and don't smell, your BJJ experience will be amazing.

Don't behave as if you are suffering muscle spasms and therefore unable to control the motions of your limbs.

Better? Good lets get back to talking grappling.

As an aside I hate when my calf spasms and cramps up bad mid roll. Trying to work the cramp out while maintaining guard is a lot harder than it sounds.
