If someone is going for pressure points in BJJ they are leaving themselves open to something. Whichever limb they're using to waste time is a limb not defending a sub or sweep or setting up a real technique. If he's putting fingers in your ribs while in guard, he's asking for a triangle or arm at.

I don't understand why you would go for an arm bar without trying to use it to end the fight ie. break it or at least threaten to break it. You're just giving up position.

SnatchRabbit posted:What's your guys take on standup sparring with takedowns, groundwork, but super light striking technique? I train at a BJJ gym and for the most part we train for straight BJJ sport and competitions, so no striking at all. However, recently we've had a few guys who are preparing for MMA fights come through so during sparring we'll start standing, w/ MMA gloves, throwing super light boxing and KB technique to work your way into a clinch. From there it's takedowns into BJJ w/ strikes on the ground. Obviously, you're just tapping the guy with your fist to let him know he's open to strikes. I find that mixing in strikes, however light, completely changes the dynamics of grappling. I guess my question is how useful is this from self-defense as well as sport/MMA/conditioning perspective? I found that I really enjoyed this type of sparring because it puts together all the things I love about striking and grappling without really having to worry about head trauma. Most people trying to beat you up will try to hit you, as they aren't well versed in arm locks and chokes. If anything it is more important for actual self defense than learning to defend submissions.

KildarX posted:On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is random guy with no training that walks into your gym and 10 is a MMA title holder. I give the striking a 2.5 and the grappling a 3 This is atrocious. The striking is so bad without headshots, yet the fighters are still hesitant to engage and often turn away. No one in the entire video looks like they have a good base when they hit the ground.

I tend to have more issues with the top of my big toe getting rubbed raw when I shoot a lot of shots. Unless someone is dropping knees on your toes, they should be bruising from you moving around.

Jato posted:I want to start training a martial art on my off days from lifting for some general fitness + fun. Planning to sign up for an intro BJJ course to see if I like it, but not sure if I should go with the Gi or No Gi course that this place offers. Would one be preferable to the other for a beginner going in with no experience? If you're in shape, you may find no-gi more fun as it rewards strength and explosiveness. And if you're not in shape, in gi you can slow things down with grips and technique.

Someone body triangled me too hard and popped my rib years ago. I tried to keep rolling but I couldn't take any deep breaths. I took two weeks off from everything, sleeping was a pain in the rear end. I was lifting again in 2 weeks and rolling again in 3. Nothing about it was fun.

I’ve been tapped by wrist locks a single digit amount of times in 10 years of No-gi. And have probably tapped people less 20 times... most people just learn to keep their wrists straight. Tacos Al Pastor posted:Hey guys, Jiu Jitsu question: Is there a name for the submission whereby I grab my opponent's foot and drive my elbow into their shin? (Its a sure tap from the pain) Typically done if someone takes my back but they done have their hooks in quite properly. I was shown this move from one of the FPJJ black belts who came up to visit from Sao Paulo. I managed to use it this morning and was playing around with the timing for catching it but I have no idea the name for it. Do you drive your elbow into their shin bone or like the inside of their calf? Because that can get taps too.

PT6A posted:Is there any concrete evidence that a trans woman has a significant strength advantage over a cis woman in the same weight class, beyond what would normally exist because humans are inherently all different from one another when it comes to body composition, etc.? I feel like a lot of people are expecting us to take that on faith, and that's a pretty poo poo basis for decision making. It’s more likely that if you want to sway anyone you have prove it the other way.

Are there differences in bone size and density between men and women? How are those effected by transitioning? Does mass of hand bone size translate to punching power? Is there any difference in skull size that would allow men to take bigger hits before being KOed? I mean most of those won’t matter for Judo or BJJ but they could certainly create an imbalanced playing field or be potentially dangerous for women in MMA.

The worst part about the argument is that it’s now set up in a way that if you want to take precautions to protect women you are now against trans people. Anyway, I used to train with a trans male both when he was a woman and after the transition. He (as a woman) fought a now former woman’s UFC champ years before women were in the UFC. I think he got quite the eye opener in terms of strength difference when newer training partners who weren’t treating him as a girl, or when he started telling guys not to hold back and has gone back to mostly BJJ. Since you haven’t posted the publication saying trans women don’t have a competitive advantage over women, can you at least outline the criteria examined or what sport(s) were focused on mainly?

ICHIBAHN posted:Yuns, you don't feel bjj is for everyone, can you explain why you've come to this conclusion? I don't necessarily disagree, just interested in your experienced viewpoint. Some people don’t like losing for a month solid. BJJ is a very humbling experience and for the most part it’s very rare to get lucky and beat a more experienced training partner. BJJ will destroy your ego.
