Unless you read the original post, which said "at the moment"

I begrudgingly signed up for it as a couple of my training partners are competing at FTW Pro next Friday and I'll be out of town. The monthly price just went up to $30 and they are no longer offering a trial period. To my knowledge, their only membership options are $30/month or the annual...

I dropped in to their advanced class a few years ago (review here: http://forums.sherdog.com/threads/bit-the-bullet-dropped-in-at-aoj.2509419/). It was definitely more businesslike than I'm used to when dropping in to gyms. Not a lot of joking around, apparent camaraderie, etc. I did notice that...

Don't think I'd ever make a joke with a black belt during a roll, or even another brown belt, unless I knew the person really well. After a submission, perhaps. A lower belt? Depends on the situation. It's rare that a lower belt interrupts a roll with me to crack wise. Still, some people simply...

Fight to Win Pro 7 was a really fun event. The main event, Lovato vs. Cyborg, wasn't especially exciting, but almost every other match was good to quite good. A couple of my teammates competed, won by sub, then posted instructionals on the setups and subs they used. #1: Scissor takedown to heel...

This, and work out the psoas. Painful but helps.

Congrats! And nice avatar.

Share it. No reason to be so uptight, unless you're a top guy or something.

I think it sounds like you are practicing sound, fundamental jiu jitsu.

Barely even thought about non-straight-ankle leg locks until brown belt and have only recently begun incorporating the Danaher/Cummins-style stuff into my game. A whole new world...

I agree with this. I was doing Wendler 5/3/1 for about a year and didn't see the kind of results I was expecting, and just felt beat down all the time. Now, I go to the gym 1-2x/week and do more of a full body routine, with a heavy emphasis on lower-risk exercises (no deadlifts, basically).

This can't be real

Tore my MCL once while trying to pass half guard. My foot was trapped, knee was on the mat, he bridged into it...As someone said, MCL surgery is uncommon. Took probably eight weeks before I felt somewhat comfortable rolling light, and another month before I was back to rolling harder. I'm still...

X: I'm fairly tall and lanky and tend to pass x guard by controlling the pant cuff (or as near as I can get to it) on the butterfly hook, then back-stepping to reverse KOB. Like most things in BJJ, it helps if you can catch it in transition rather than waiting until you are stretched out. Deep...

This, if you're looking for a higher-percentage back-take from x guard.

All but two are grrrreat!

Braulio has some very high-profile triangle finishes as well, probably more so than anyone else. In terms of instruction, though, Ryan Hall is my personal favorite.

Impossible to generalize. Who is considered an old master? Caique? Relson? Or someone like Leo Viera?

I think that's a really good point.

There is a big, extremely strong white belt at my gym who has tapped a couple of blues and purples with a headlock.
