When we'd do 5 minute rounds we'd be instructed to try to fight out but weren't ever told to ignore taps.

Can someone provide me with links to gloves for striking classes, and kneepads for rolling which they can personally vouch for. I've been shopping around and can't settle on anything, the one pair of nice kneepads I was sold on ended up being sold-out in my size.

Polyrhythmic Panda posted:I wear a cup when I'm doing anything combat-related, even boxing. You never know what creative new way some dumbass is going to come up with to tag your junk, even under the most unlikely circumstances. It's just not worth the risk. I got side kicked in the sack while sparring in tae kwon do (this was twenty years ago, we didn't know any better) and it turned one of my balls loving black. I had to go get ultrason done on it and it hurt so loving badly I can't even put it into words. So basically I wear a cup for everything now.

While we're semi on the subject, anyone have any tips for keeping my boxing gloves from getting nasty-over-time due to sweat, etc?

Bohemian Nights posted:Leaving them sitting out instead of rotting in a gym bag is probably a nice start, but other than rubbing alcohol, I've also taken to putting my gloves in the freezer overnight, and then just leaving them out for a few days after that. This usually takes care of any lingering smell. Sounds like good advice, unfortunately if I try sticking my gloves in the freezer that's probably going to lead to domestic issues that would make stinky gloves the least of my worries.

So the one day I don't wear a cup to open mat...I'm getting a coffee on the way to the gym and on the way out a girl getting up from her seat somehow turns into me and lands a perfect elbow to my junk.

BJJ White belt here...I'm finding when I get to mount my submission arsenal looks something like this: 1. Americana end of list Any ideas on what should be the next to add to my arsenal? I'm sure we'll get to something in class sooner or later but it looks like its mostly side control on the curriculum for the near future. If it helps I'm kind of short and stocky with short little arms and legs.

dokomoy posted:This. Almost all of my(and everyone else's) submissions from mount start by getting one hand deep in the collar and taking what your opponent gives you(unless your Roger and you just take the choke). The only finish from mount I get that's not set up from hand in the collar is the ezequel from when I cross face my opponent I should also have mentioned I'm talking no-gi here...the cross collar is gi-only right?

Did my first striking sparring tonight. (16 oz gloves, headgear) Since I didn't have shinguards the coach just had me and my partners boxing but I still managed to get rocked once. Really enjoyed it, was nice getting past the initial trepidation of being hit in the face/head.

Bohemian Nights posted:I don't want to feel out of my element in a situation where a cup isn't allowed, which is pretty much all competitions around here... I'm actually doing my first competition at the end of this month (COPA in Lakeland, FL) and making sure to wear a cup every day because they are mandatory in the tournament. I figured that was the norm, but reading your post I'm thinking maybe its weird to have them be required?

Bohemian Nights posted:I've never seen it being mandatory, though. I'm getting that from the COPA website so for all I know it could be different and/or not enforced on at the actual event: "1. No-Gi competitors must wear T-shirts, shorts, (fight shorts or board shorts) cup, and mouthpiece. Gi must be worn in Gi competition." http://www.cagc.us/rules/rules.html I want to say it was like the for the last NAGA tournament around here also but I could be wrong as I was only spectating and not really trying to check out guys crotches.

I got cracked in the nose really hard with an accidental elbow Monday night while sparring, and my nose got pretty swollen up yesterday. I just woke up this morning after taking last night off, and I've got a black eye to go with the swollen nose...is this kind of delayed reaction common or do I need to look into alternate theories as to how I got a shiner in my sleep?

God I am so loving hopeless at striking. I've seriously got to learn... a) to start circling/blocking/countering instead of just retreating when I see punches incoming. b) to follow up kicks with something else c) to throw combos in general d) to quit being such a pussy and get into range where I can actually connect with punches gently caress.

Sweet, small victories this week: 1 - Going against "I never tap to arm bars" guy and showing him that he'll sure as gently caress tap to wrist locks 2 - Starting to work this move in striking where you throw a low roundhouse kick that barely connects but its a feint, and you use it to load up a side kick from the other side...got shown this in class on Tuesday and have been landing it steadily since then Things I should have mastered on day one that I cannot believe I'm still horrible at: 1 - Tieing a belt when wearing gi 2 - Wrapping my hands...I look like an extra in a mummy movie
