Yuns posted:In our advanced no gi classes, if you tap, you tap. No one gets taken seriously if you make some bullshit excuse like I tapped to pain but that isn't a "real" submission. For example, our guys can and will choke you over your face and chin and no one cries about it. To clarify, these are higher belts coming over to "coach", not guys making excuses for getting caught. I wouldn't want anyone to be under the impression that I'm doing anything other than getting my rear end kicked when I roll with brown and black belts.

They should just be, you know, comfortable. I guess you want them relatively snug? But really they should just fit properly. Are you buying wrestling shoes for actual wrestling? If you're getting them for another grappling sport...don't.

ihop posted:Wrestling class. It's probably my terrible technique but the shots are tearing up the tops of my feet and toes. Plus I figure they'll help inhibit my inclination to use leg sweeps and focus on shooting. Okay. I always advise people to stay away from wrestling shoes for not-wrestling because they're too grippy for some of the more dynamic pivoting movements you see in stuff like sambo and judo and can result in a greater risk of injury. If your priority is on protecting your feet then sambofski are the best of both worlds, they're basically wrestling shoes but with leather soles so you can slide and pivot more easily. I wear them for literally everything, even BJJ, mostly because then I don't have to worry about things like turf toe or getting toenails ripped off or getting athlete's foot. http://www.afinternationalsporting.com/product_info.php/products_id/183

Odddzy posted:Hey Mecha, I've got a question on the subject of sambo takedowns. In Sport versus Combat Sambo, what are by far and away the most spammed/important techniques people use at a high level? Is there a general consensus or is it kind of a dumb question? kimbo305 posted:Is there anything in the Combat Sambo ruleset that would make takedowns that different than in MMA? I guess you can close to a clinch differently by grabbing the jacket? Yeah, throwing casting punches into collar grip (into hip throw, front trip, etc.) is definitely a thing in combat sambo. As is throwing overhand punches while going for a single or ankle pick or whatever. Shots in general are strong because even if it gets stuffed, you can get a belt grip and continue from a good position. Stuff like drop shoulder throws are maaaaybe less common 'cause you can still get punched in the face if you wind up in turtle but you still see them. In sport sambo, hm...high level sport sambo is probably more about foot sweeps than, say, judo, even if it's not the foot sweep itself that necessarily results in the takedown. The foot sweep in sambo is like a jab in boxing. There's also a lot of deep entry throws, like drop shoulder throws and fireman's carries, and sacrifice throws. But overall, it's a pretty wide variety. You could always just watch some high level sambo and take notes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyNIzMc3KWE Mechafunkzilla fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Feb 27, 2018 |

Odddzy posted:Thanks for the pointers. As a supplemental question, Reilly and Steeve used to both teach ankle locks following a numeric value to indicate how advanced the position was. like one, two three (the saddle) and four (the knot). Is there a form a positional hierarchy in grips standing that follows the same idea? Like is Georgian grip considered a better grip in general? Where could I find resources for that kind of stuff? Sort of, but it's going to be about your personal game and what throws you like doing from which grips. So I might start with a collar grip and try to snap down so I can move to a Georgian grip because I like the leverage and like working from there, but it's not like a belt grip is inherently better than a collar grip. Throws are a lot more dynamic than leglocks, like if you have the leg knot nobody's going anywhere. If I have a Georgian grip, but my opponent has a bodylock and is in the middle of suplexing me, my grip doesn't mean much. Mechafunkzilla fucked around with this message at 05:02 on Feb 27, 2018 |

kimbo305 posted:What are the ringout rules? The ring doesn't factor into scoring like in shuai jiao, the guy tapped because he was getting choked but they'd been reset because they were out of bounds. Red got cautioned for going out of bounds intentionally, but seems like it was worth it. 2 warnings and you get DQ'd. If you throw someone out of bounds the throw is still scored.

Wearing a mouthguard is more about protecting your training partner from your teeth, which are sharp and have a tendency to cause really nasty infected wounds because of mouth bacteria. I refuse to roll with people who don't wear them.

kimbo305 posted:I've been thinking more about the WC range issue. In a street fight, I could see a lot of value in throwing open finger strikes to the face, trying to get an eye. It doesn't have to have much power, but most of the other jab mechanics carry right over. Having your fingers and palm speared out gets you another 4-5" of reach, too. The footwork and hip rotation that creates the power on that elbow is also only possible because of Weidman's boxing/kickboxing/MMA stance. And he's able to time and land it because he was able establish range with conventional strikes.
