    Has anyone checked out Royler's guard passing DVD?

    It seems that this particular Royler DVD is one of the ones that has fallen through the cracks, though surely someone has bought it. It always interests me how some DVD's....even ones put out by big name players....just don't seem to have an impact in the BJJ community. Perhaps it's a result...

    Has anyone checked out Royler's guard passing DVD?

    Budovideos.com - Royler Gracie Competition Tested Techniques DVD 2: Guard and Half-Guard Passes I was hoping someone could provide a bit more detailed info than the spartan "it's good" comments I've been seeing. Also, the technique list descriptions are really simplistic, to the point that I...

    Wrestling technique for Guard Break?

    I'm no great expert, but I kneebar guys who try this - after he pops up and either during his turn or as his leg comes over, I just open my guard, let my hips drop, and his kneecap is turned inside and ripe for the picking. If his foot made it to the other side, I'd bring the inside leg through...

    Help with the 2 on 1 grip in Judo?

    Hey guys, I was hoping to get some help with using the ol' Russian 2 on 1 grip in Judo. I am familiar with using it in a no-Gi (BJJ) setting, though I am no expert by any means....but I don't know much about transposing it to Judo. I think I'm most interested in three things: 1...

    Satoru Kitaoka's grappling at Sengoku 11 *spoilers*

    Something I never hear mentioned when discussing Kitaoka and Imanari - Imanari swears by the 50/50, where as Kitaoka (and to a lesser extent Aoki), tends to use Sambo-style leg control, although he usually fails to control the free leg, along with some other setups. Is this a relevant...

    Jacare's judo ankle pick take down

    Thanks for the short guy advice, guys. If I can trouble you for an additional tip: any ideas how to get through the upper body/stiff arm to make these type of throws happen in a Jiu Jitsu environment (where opponents won't get penalized for stiff arms or defensive postures)? Jacare shows that it...

    Jacare's judo ankle pick take down

    With Kuchiki Taoshi, Jacare's foot prop to pick, Matsiev's kouchi.....are these throws unrealistic for someone with short arms and short legs to perform in Judo or Jiu Jitsu? It seems like it would be quite difficult to reach the foot or to close the distance against someone taller and lankier...

    Ryan Hall teaches getting out of 50/%0

    World Martial Arts (WMA) is putting out a DVD set by Ryan Hall sometime in the future - in that set will be a volume about the 50/50 position, with information about how to get out of the position, among other things.

    50 / 50 - Let's discuss

    All of the leglocks just kind of present themselves in that position - but how do you hit chokes from there? It seems like the opponent's threaded leg would make getting close enough for chokes daunting.

    Sambo thread!

    Interesting how nearly all the rolling kneebar attempts involving controlling the free leg/thigh as quickly as possible, I'd imagine to prevent the opponent from standing. We do rolling kneebars in Jiu Jitsu, of course, but that increased focus on the free leg is quite distinct. Steve, is...

    how about a TAI OTOSHI thread

    I've been working on this throw for about a year and I still have some problems. The only time I can hit it is by dropping and basically dragging him with my falling weight over my blocking leg. When doing it standing, I find that my arm (which is gripping his lapel) often gets bunched up...

    Has anyone read William Vandry's leglocks book?

    Cool, thanks for the info about the book. So what's wrong with leglocks? They're solid submissions, especially in no-GI.

    ? about Jeff Monson Half Guard Sweep

    To me, that Homer Simpson sweep seems like kind of a combination of the Jeff Glover-type sweep, where the opponent's leg is in front of his body, and the Monson-type sweep, where the opponent's weight is on his hands and the leg is behind his body. As a small guy, it would seem difficult for...

    ? about Jeff Monson Half Guard Sweep

    Ha, that Homer Simpson sweep....did I really just say that...seems kinda similar - I like the details on the grip and such. Thanks a lot for the post. This is a damn good sweep against an aggressive opponent, in my experience, and it's strange to me that you don't see it more taught more...

    Has anyone read William Vandry's leglocks book?

    I can't seem to find any information regarding it's quality or content: Budovideos.com - BJJ Leglocks Book by William Vandry It's kind of surprising that there is little to no info about this, considering the small amount of decent leglock material out there. That makes me think...

    Should I Get Youth or Adult Size CK F5 Tornadoes?

    I'm 5'4", about 135 pounds. My head measures about 22 inches for circumference, which puts me at just above the recommended 18-21 1/2" inches of the Tornado Youth model. So I'm in the unfortunate no-man's land between the big end of the Youth sizing and the small end of the Adult sizing. I...
