This is my last week at Marcelo Garcia's before I head back home to Norway (after a brief detour to florida) so I've made sure to train every day, and man, I wish that was an option back home. It does kind of dominate your entire evening, but it hurts so good-- and I feel like I'm learning more, too. Oh welp. Three times a week will have to do.

henkman posted:Unless someone already did this, in which case I would like a link. It's not like a "bodydrop hipthrow" or whatever would make more sense than something in japanese. If I care enough about the post to wonder what a word means, I just google it, and there's usually a ton of animated gifs or videoes available immediately. Omaplata doesn't make much sense either, you know?

henkman posted:A man has his legs between you and him to prevent you from having an advantageous position. You attempt to pass by his legs so he has no defense against you anymore and are successful. Congratulations you now understand "Passing the Guard". Cool. Now do that every time you mention a BJJ technique in a post. Gomi Pile posted:actually it would make a lot more sense because i know what body, drop, hip and throw mean. You wouldn't have any more idea what the technique would entail at all. The only thing you'd know would be that it is a judo throw, which is exactly the same thing you know from the japanese word. Also we've had this discussion to death already, can we please just not do it again.

Even as someone training, a lot of high level jits competition matches are just boring as hell. I can't imagine someone with no background in grappling finding it enjoyable at all. Watching two good blue belts go at it is often more entertaining than two black belts. Bohemian Nights fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Jun 8, 2011 |

Here's an idea for side control, at least! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RxgSaoK--E&feature=player_detailpage#t=200s My advice for top mount is to tuck your feet tightly to the side of, almost underneath your opponent, and on heavier opponents I like to ride up underneath their arms for a very high top mount, where they can't really use their strenght to defend their arms, and they have a harder time moving me around with their hips. Although personally, I've had more luck using a knee-on-belly approach on guys that are a lot bigger than me instead of trying to maintain a mount, atleast until I see a strong opening. By riding high on the mount, I get a lot of armbars and mounted triangles, and the latter seems to work very well regardless of the size of your training partner.

Thoguh posted:I usually figure the A/T thread is for bullshiting about training and answering questions for newcomers and this thread is for discussing high profile competitions. That sounds like a reasonable way to look at the threads. It's also my impression that the martial arts thread is moderated a little closer than the grappling one, seeing as this one is in PsP, and all.

Read this very interesting article on what it's like to compete at ADCC if you're not an A-lister. Considering the article is named "The disaster tournament", I'm sure you can imagine the contents. It's fascinating reading. http://zinganobjj.com/adcc-the-disaster-tournament/

Martial arts people aren't known to be too smart or too computer savvy, so it could be either or a combination of the two. Regardless, the housing thing is hilariously bad, and the general favoritism of a-lister competitors is definitely not doing anyone any favours. I mean, allowing one competitor to be a kilo overweight while choosing to hound another (who makes weight) throughout the entire day is just ridiculously unfair.

Xguard86 posted:bjj tournaments aren't really a full day of activity like say hiking or climbing or skiing. It's more sitting around, followed by furious calorie burning. Seconding this. You'll spend 95% of your time at a tournament doing nothing, stressing out and wondering when it's your turn and worrying that you won't hear your name when it's called out on the lovely sound system. My personal anxiety is wanting to make sure I've used the toilet in good time for a match-- but since you never know when your match is up . . . At the last few tournaments I've attended I've only cornered team mates, and it's been a much more enjoyable experience. I think it's been a year and a half since I last competed myself.

Xguard86 posted:Could you post some of your knee stretches, I'm really looking to limber up my patella? I was actually joking, because the position of the knee in that picture looks absolutely grotesque, but that's not to say I don't do it to myself all the time, although I'm trying to avoid it. As for knee and flexibility stretches, for better or for worse, I've was given a mastering the rubber guard book in my first month of training, and I've been using a lot of Eddie Bravo's stretches from that book before basically every training session, and although the stretching portion of that book has been given a lot of flak from some people, it's been good to me. I suppose the butterfly stretch should work pretty well for your knees until you can finally get them flat to the ground. I've kind of reached that barrier a long while ago myself, so I'm actually looking for some new stretching routines as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS6ju33eeow I do wonder how much of knee and hip flexibility is genetic, though. I very much doubt I'd have the flexibility I have today if I weren't "born" with it. Hell, I'm fairly certain I'm even more flexible than cXb, although I never got to find out
