Would advise going into the competition strong as can be, and therefore focus on your game and not rushing in the last 5 lbs for a tournament I would assume has no monetary prize or a guarantee for ADCC placement. Giving up some weight (i.e. being on the lower end of the weight class) is not...
Never have seen the gable grip used for this transition either. The standard DLR to back variations I have been taught have virtually no chance of being controversial for reaping.
Very harsh commentary/ thanks to Balto for lightening this up. Listen, a 4-stripe white belt is a beginner rank as you know. When you don the colored belts, you will continue to eat a slice of humble pie now and then. Lots of factors go into an experience like the one you posted, all of the...
Completely sound advice by Balto across this thread. Not sure why everybody is contesting your replies.
TS: Unless you have a contingent sponsor or something besides a cheap dollar-store medal at stake, do not bother to cut at this point. Work your S&C, get plenty of rest, work your game...
I don't think thread starter is eluding to his lack of ability to defend the can-opener. He subbed the guy the first time it was put on him and he tapped early the second instance to raise instant awareness that his bonehead partner was using the same move that TS advised against. It is not...
Congrats! Was ground and pound legal (w/ strikes to head?). You had him so controlled, would have softened him up a bit with strikes and he would have given you his arm even quicker. He clearly had no answer for your top game. Well done and good luck with your climb to the top.
Questions are cool and relevant and many I imagine would be interested in the results. I did not fill out because I do not know what the purpose of the survey is and when I click on your blog where you will post the results it is about your video gaming expeditions and not BJJ. Wondering where...
For most part IBJJF is within 45min early in the day. I actually plan for this with my unsuccessful eating equation (if success equals winning that is :D). I do feel physically good though.
1 hour before match, 8oz coconut water and a banana...30min before 4oz water....get called to mat #_____......3:30 into first fight I tap....then anything I want.
I did not scroll through all 48 pages of comments, although besides his controversial past, he looked damned good in that demo. Why does anyone care at this point to analyze every minute of this guys journey?
Congrats to Ari for persevering despite having to deal with the ruthless critics.
