Congratulations on the tournament, it seems like you've got some good experience out of it. During standup you seemed ultra tense and would frame your arms in a manner that was defensive but didn't seem like it would result in better grips for you and kinda made you spend lots of energy for little return. At our weight class it's one thing I've been trying to be much more aware of as being on the bottom is often times catastrophic if the guy gets to pass during a bad takedown defense and set up camp on you.

Mechafunkzilla posted:riding a shinlock for 10 minutes until the other guy's calf looks like a rotten banana. You mentioned you liked doing shinlocks and I know nothing about them besides I believe Josh Barnett using one during one of his metamoris matches. Is there a good video on positions or concepts on the subject?

Thanks man, I'll definitely come over next time I pay a visit once the knee is back on track (meniscus and calf elongation apparently according to the physio). I remember Josh Barnett using them like you, leg on calf to pass. As much as I like BJJ, I've really started to take a liking to cross training.

Just go train a bit. At this point you've got enough information you can show up to a class or five and know if it's for you or not.

You missed a great opportunity of mentioning to him you're on your way to a blue belt in bjj any day now. It would be irresponsible of yourself to not let him know the risks of stepping up.

I never really watch full judo matches but nearly all the matches I watched here ended with a ton of warnings given to one person or another and little to no throws. kinda boring.

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? I seem to recall being told in Combat Sambo that it was basically almost always singles, doubles and some variation of a hip throw because everything else was harder to use because of strikes. Am I completely off base?

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?

On the subject of Mcdojos, I was back in my hometown a few months back and was curious to find out if there were open mats going on. There were two spots, first one was a place that offered ''cardio-grappling'' and the pic online of the class was a bunch of people in gi's doing pushups. The other spot was a bjj place but taught by a blue belt. I texted them and they asked for my rank (blue) and then told me classes were not open to visitors at this time.

Nothing wrong with him being a blue belt. My hometown is pretty rural so good BJJ instructors are rare and you'd have to travel around 3-5 hours to go to a decent place so I think it's cool he opened up a spot over there. I mostly got the feeling I was snubbed because he didn't want the risk of not performing well in front of someone that's not better or from his crew during open mat. I might be completely off base. But up till that question he was open to me coming over.

Yeah, It's unfortunate but it is what it is. There are simply no grappling academies over there besides that small one. Hat's off to him for doing a class with meager resources. FWIW, I still think Whiskey's story of the Crossfit self defence class takes the cake. To me, CommonShores instructor sounds like he's got the right idea of how to do it when you're in a small place and training partners are hard to come by.

How I understand it is that (here in Québec at least) the amateur MMA guys need a spot given by a promoter to pad their record. To get some fights they get given a bunch of tickets and have to sell them. basically, the promoter doesn't even NEED to promote as the fighter is going to be desperate and ask for everyone at his gym to come over, friends and family too. The first and last amateur MMa event I went too was super sketch. Everyone had t-shirts repping their BJJ or MMA club and lots of fights looked really fixed. An MMA guy I used to train with that retired from that racket pretty much admitted the fights were fixed in many instances.

Wangsbig posted:the first bit is tragically accurate, but I can't see what they'd mean by fights being fixed, unless they were referring to horrible missmatches which happen all the time. maybe I don't run in the right crowds but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of money changing hands over the outcome of amateur fight sports from my experience You're right, it's not a lot of cash. The MMA fighter that was in on the fix told me that he basically knew he would never turn pro and stopped training MMA and representing an MMA gym at that point. He was tired of promoting himself for no return so after around 5-6 fights his buddies and him had a good rapport with the promoter that would call him short notice if they had a fighter cancel. He would just throw fights and would get some cash by having his buddies paying him back after their bets against him. As far as I know he only did it one or two times and was for all intents or purposes retired and wasn't called to win, just make a fight so the spectators could see people go through the grinder. I don't know exact figures but he probably never made more than a grand out of it. Amateur MMA is sketch as hell. Fights I didn't know anyone in had super suspicious ref stoppages. It could be that the refs are retarded, but I doubt it. One stoppage I saw once was a guy that wore shin pads being stood back up during a deep straight ankle that should've finished him (his words). Ref said it was because ''the shin pad had to be reset properly on his foot''. I felt like the other guy got robbed and the guy that got saved was from my gym so take that as you will.

Dave Grool posted:So just for example roids + hobbyist level grappling? same friend It could probably do a difference but I'm no expert.If I ever was to take Roids, I'd take them with the supervision of a professional. When it comes to your conditioning, I believe anything that you can do regularly and doesn't tire your body is good (meaning once you've finished exercising, you could resume your day as if you just finished a warmup). Use low weight, and train at like max 70% intensity. Keep doing whatever you're doing, until you're just about to start feeling tired, and then stop, do something else. Basically you want to avoid burning your muscles with lactic acid and tiring yourself out or else recuperation time will be longer and be a detriment to the number of times you could work out during the week. I believe some types of roids help specifically with recuperation. But if you train intelligently and don't try beating personal records every training day, you will see improvement in the long term.

mewse posted:It's like some bizarro world where Willie posts the most sensible thing about roids but this isn't a steroid thread, could you guys please STFU about it. I really don't enjoy reading advice about using steroids better If you read my posts you would know I wasn't promoting their use. Edit : Just so I'm clear, I believe taking unprescribed roids for performance gains is immoral in competition and unsafe to your wellbeing. I believe that because they are getting very easy to obtain and casual hobbyists are looking more and more into obtaining some and getting into sports where they can get an edge, information should be made available so people find alternatives that could complement their training in a more holistic manner and fight a bit back against the "no pain, no gain" mentality in training.

If the Roids are to get gym taps and getting swole I'd be worried the guy does it to manage his ego and rolling actively bruises ego and puts partners in danger.

Although I've done BJJ for 4 years now, I've stepped onto the mats for a wrestling class for the first time yesterday. It went pretty well but my ribs are sore. We had to do some par terre defenses against an opponent but I didn't really get what I had to do. I could get out by wrestling up but I was told to stay on the mat and let the other guy work which sounded kinda unrealistic as I didn't really understand how staying on the floor was defending. Is there use to that position outside of pure wrestling? I legitimately curious.

kimbo305 posted:Even pure grappling (anything no striking) has turtling as a defense. You're minimizing how you can get picked up / moved around. Oh sure, I'm familiar with the turtle position, but I use it to wrestle back up or work on my own sweep from that position. In the context of Parterre it sounds like I have to stay on the ground and not really defend, just close myself up and wish I didn't get rolled. I think it's specific to the rulesets of judo and wrestling where you get stood back up if no action happens after a while maybe? No idea.
