    Aikido

    You may as well join baseball or track or knitting, bc there is nothing inherently spiritual in aikido or most traditional styles. I'm kind of being harsh but it's reality. Heck at least in baseball and track you compete, team build, learn to support each other etc. Knitting gives you quality...

    BJJ vs JJJ

    Only way to tell if it is fun is by taking a class. Although the article posted is seems correct to my knowledge, most JJJ is, like most traditional martial arts taught here, bullshit. Not to say the original art is, but it's very typical to find fat out of shape students and teachers who...

    I'm I being a Bjj bitch?

    Not at all from the sound of it. Make sure you let him know that each school has different rules about these things in training, and that it's always a good idea to ask, so he knows for the future.

    Hundreds of Techniques In A Short Amount of Time - Jason Scully

    I don't normally post bc I'm too lazy to sign in, but your vids are great thank you. Recent.y I've been trying to be more intellectual about my training. And these vids are great to look at and cherry pick from as a previous poster stated. For example my half guard was really non existent, I...

    UFC GYM - Long Island, NY

    So went to a class today, ran by a brown belt from Socca, there were 4 whites (the program started two weeks ago), and a blue who also trains at Socca. Def signing up to train in addition to Serras. Same as every other place really, shows some moves, rep the moves, and into some sparring. The...

    UFC GYM - Long Island, NY

    Also just to push this tttt,....I'm gonna check it out tomorrow. I joined Serra two weeks ago, but am going to drop my LAFitness membership and use this as my place to lift. 24 hours or bags, mats, full gym, and I can take some classes? All the grappling classes seem to have no conflict time...

    UFC GYM - Long Island, NY

    I know they have personal trainers, but do they allow independent guys to rent out floor space??? I would assume corporates would not, but the ones on Long Island are franchises I believe.

    Need a counter to a specific defense...

    Attack his knee with a calf crusher. Take on of your hooks, weave it through his knee, bam. Look it up on YouTube if not sure. Why bother attacking something he has so tightly guarded up. In competition anyway. For training sake, threatening a leg attack, or figure fouring some pressure...

    E-books, online course, etc

    Oh btw, anything I can download straight to my iPad is best, ain't nobody got time for delivery or messing with DVDs.

    E-books, online course, etc

    Well,which ones did you like the most? I'm getting emails from MicroBjj, the guy's name is Dan ***gella, and from roadmap to Brazilian JiuJitsu from Stephan Kesting. Interesting reads so far, even the very basic stuff, better then watching tv and cranking to porn all day anyway. So any...

    hahaha oh wow (TapouT)

    Well, the cheapest I see at True Protein is 3.80/lb and you buy 50lbs at once. Add the 3 flavor packets you need minimum at 3.99 each. With shipping it comes to $249.12....$4.98/lb. So 2.3lbs (TapOut equivalent) at that bulk price ends up being $10.30, assuming you can pony up for a 50lb...

    hahaha oh wow (TapouT)

    You guys are retarded I think. Their prices are actually low, their 300g of Glutamine and 2lb of Whey are CHEAPER than many other brands of the same product. If you use a Gold Card its even cheaper. 2lb TapOut Warrior Whey = $15.99 or 12.79 with GC....Bulk Nutrition has 2lbs ranging from...

    Stroke my Ego, watch me compete soon.

    Lifted Sunday night. Mon hit gi BJJ at 6, followed by 10 rounds heavy bag work, followed by sparring. BJJ: Kept top control well, hit 2 ankle locks and an armbar. 2 rounds from knees and 1 round guard passing. Seems like my go to gi pass is to grab both lapels in one hand, same side...

    Stroke my Ego, watch me compete soon.

    Hit 2 more lifting sessions this week, I added in good mornings in place of deadlifts. I imagine a few sessions of squats and good mornings plus a break from deads will push me into the 500 mark I s desperately desire. BJJ in the AM followed by BW conditioning and padwork. Off to watch me...
