    Blue Belt

    Which is why it took me 2-3 years to get my blue belt, I never trained with the gi until this last year. First time I tested I went from 1 to 4 stripes because I had trained for almost 2 years without ever receiving any testing/stripes, then 6 months later I got my blue belt. Thanks for...

    Blue Belt

    I tested and "received" my Blue Belt this week. Problem is my school didn't have any in stock and I didn't think to order one preemptively. Where should I order one online? I'm hoping not to pay $40 for a BJJ belt like I've already seen. Thank you.

    My matches from this weekend

    I got your instructor's absolute match against the GIANT on video. That match was EPIC.

    My matches from this weekend

    Kiely kind of got screwed in that match where he go ankle locked. While the submission was being applied he tried a heel hook, and then the ref says "NO HEEL HOOKS!" so he let it go, then got subbed. Right after the rules meeting had said all leg locks were allowed in nogi.

    My matches from this weekend

    First round, so one and done for me. I didn't tap to the armlock either because I didn't think he could finish it and I went for the sweep... and my elbow popped. I scratched out of nogi after that.

    My matches from this weekend

    Good job. I was in the same division and fought (lost to) the guy who got 1st on both gi and nogi. I think it was the guy you lost to in the second video... he won 5 out of 6 matches by keylock.

    Question for grapplers, particularly those who have been injured rolling

    If I went to the doctor for every little injury in BJJ I'd be there twice a week.

    That was the first version we did. Second version was the foot on the side/up the armpit. Third version was the inverted armbar. judofarmerbob, that first video is exactly how we did the third version of our drill (inverted armbar). Also, I hit it tonight in sparring for the first time! We...

    'Falling' armbar

    Not a full flying armbar, last night we drilled armbars from standing position. Rather than jumping and throwing your foot into their armpit, the version we drilled last night put the foot into to hip while falling back and spinning into the armbar. What I'm looking for is some instructional...

    Michigan Grappling Open coming up...

    I'm hoping there is a good turnout. I'm trying to get guys from my gym to attend rather than driving to Gary, IN for C3.

    I'm sure Mash is very good, they have lots of top level fighters there. But give MAU a shot, they are 5 minutes from you in Clawson. :icon_chee

    finally got my blue belt today

    Congrats, I have a friend who trains at a Caique affiliate in (I think) Hazel Park. Did you have to test for your belt or did he give it to you based on your performance at the seminar?

    Cryogel samples?

    I think there is a cryogel rep that posts here isn't there? PM him. Or check their website and send them an email asking for samples. They've offered them before.

    BJJ Gi advice please

    I purchased a Fuji gi based off this forum's recommendation (like all my gear) and I wear it more often than my Atama now. I like it that much. Since, my instructor has purchased on and we buy them to stock for new students at the school as well.
