    What's your favorite judo throwing technique?

    Sumi gaeshi. I'm tall and skinny so people are always dropping low for singles. With my long arms I'm always in position to grab a kimura grip.

    Starting BJJ tomorrow morning (Super nervous)

    Accept your fate and enjoy the ride. Also test the school out if the instructor just lets people beat on you(Not a good or bad thing, I saw one guy who said lay it on me I want to know if this is worth my time.), you can kinda get an idea of the school and culture.

    Is Gracie Jiu Jitsu worth it?

    Yes you do have to roll before you get your blue, but you still have to complete the combatives courses before you start to "Roll", I've seen some schools break this model and made sparring an after class thing, but most schools don't include it in class. I do believe its a money thing. They...

    Is Gracie Jiu Jitsu worth it?

    I'm going to say it just depends on the school. The curriculum in gracie jiu jitsu is actually pretty good. The problem is that you don't do any sparring until you finish it(Again this depends on the school). So depending on your schedule it may take over a year to get all of it done, while if...

    Bjj blue belt vs gjj blue belt.

    These things depend on the school. I know a GJJ school where they don't spar in the GJJ class, but they spar in the wrestling class right afterwards, and they do well in comp. The GJJ is just an affiliation that people use to get students. Some school will have good instructors, and top notch...

    Am I too old to start BJJ?

    Just to add in my 2 cents. You can start. I started at 35. Just remember to go easy. Its real easy to want to come in 3-4 time a week if u have the time, but stay at 2-3 when you are first starting. That 3rd day being just a learning day no sparring(BTW hold off on sparing as long as...

    Tyrone Spong asks Dana to sign him!

    with these two guys as grappling partners I"m sure he can muster up some good TDD. Will he be able to do it against the top 10 who knows, but he's been training for a few years now, and he's 28. So by 32 he'll be able to go on a run, but possibly may only get 1 shot.

    Why are there no black female fighters in the UFC?

    Can't make 135 I think she would have trouble making weight Would be kept away from Rhonda possibly Already beat Rhonda in Judo match, as Rhonda's bull rush doesn't work against her. But this is MMA not judo so who knows

    Anthony Johnson a safe bet?

    a few factors Rumble has been fighting can's, so I"m not sure where he's really at. He's actually fighting at a weight he should be fighting at. I'm sure he's not gonna gas in round 1. Not sure about 2 and 3 Davis MMA wrestling is not where it should be at. He was pretty confident...

    Intelligence: The greatest asset

    I get what the OP is saying, but his ideas are flawed as in he's thinking there is only 1 type of intelligence. Intelligence comes in many forms and we all have it in different areas. So if you are a person who speaks well, you will regard others who speak well as "intelligent" and does who...

    Trying out BJJ at 30..with a twist

    I've searched the threads, but I've really haven't found a good answer. I wanna try out bjj, but I only have 2 days a week to dedicate to it and possibly 2 weekends a month. So for the most part I'm looking for a school for casual students in the baltimore area, not hardcore. I run a company...

    bjj and the millitary

    Try to get on a carrier. They will have BJJ and other activities on the ship. It maybe hit or miss though. I wasn't a participant back then, but 1 cruise they had some very good guys so they were able to have some good matches. Another cruise it was all beginners so I guess for the more...
