    Long-term risk of developing carotid stenosis from chokes due to repeated microtrauma

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but you really can't adjust your level of force up and down just a little at a time? I'm not talking weeb shit like "I'm only using 10% of my power, time to show you 25!", but it shouldn't be difficult to hit a low level of squeeze and then increase it little by...

    George Floyd choke or crank?

    As of this afternoon, the independent autopsy concluded the following:

    Preferred Method to Defeat the "RNC" grip armbar defence

    That defense definitely does slow me down a bit though, but not by much. I always just switch to a kimura grip and rotate their hand away from their leg to beat that defense. I only ever hook the arm with my head side arm, so it's very easy to use my free hand to grab their wrist and I always...

    the Hip bump sweep...

    Not to be pedantic, but I think the flower sweep has that distinction. In gi, of course.

    The Tether?

    I like the concept here, but what if we take it a step further, and I were to tie my entire gi into my opponents? I could intertwine the uniforms so expertly that we cease to be individuals, and become one person. Having absorbed my opponent, I would be declared the winner, obviously.

    when would you use this variation of the Xande sweep?

    It's mechanically not really like Xande's flower sweep, although it looks similar. It's more like a spider/lasso tilt sweep. I could see it being useful if your opponent is staying too tight to get more than your knees in for spider guard.

    Crossed Feet Armbar.

    If I'm finishing from the top I nearly always cross my feet, because I cross them under the far tricep/armpit to trap that arm and make escaping or coming on top much more difficult. The exception tends to be if I'm finishing dynamically, such as from a spinning armbar. From the bottom I don't...

    Mike Fowler Controversy?

    If you're looking to just throw dick pics at people, I'm sure you can just hit up Grindr and have a field day. Probably get better reactions too.

    NCAA DI and UFC Chmapions

    I'm not a fan of steroids, but blood doping? Make that shit legal. Nobody wants to see gassed out dudes in any televised sport.

    Just saw this on FB today. 10th Planet drama.

    I mean, you can say the black belt no longer represents you or your organization anymore, but you've already tacitly endorsed them by giving the black belt in the first place. Revoking rank is retarded on a couple levels.

    steroids for grappling

    Steroids are so low tech. Try getting your gastrointestinal system replaced with that of a gorilla. After that, you're just 40 lbs a day of leaves, fruit, and bugs from being the strongest guy on the mat.

    Ben Shapiro bjj rank

    He'd better, his striking defense definitely isn't up to par. Protect yourself at all times, cunt.

    Is the armdrag useless as a takedown in mma/self-defense?

    The easiest "street" arm drag set up is when people do the whole chest push posturing to fight bullshit. Angle your torso and they practically arm drag themselves.

    Didja Ever Kinda Feel Like You've Forgotten How to Grapple?

    If I'm able to do something, it's pretty much a given that I can break it down and teach it. The only exception is when I scramble. If I remember what exactly I did, I could show it, but the "why" of it all is wrapped up in what I felt in the moment. I could teach a guy to sprawl, but...

    Gordon "my parents pay for everything so I can train full time" Ryan

    Good for Gordon, but he could be doing much more lucrative things with that kind of support. Granted, I imagine they aren't as satisfying to him. It makes sense to me for a Brazilian from the favela to chase Bjj stardom. Maybe you aren't going to make it into soccer, but Bjj is still a way...

    ADCC Brackets just released on Flo (AND PBP)

    AJ did well. Sure, he had an easy bracket, if you don't count Tanquinho, but I honestly didn't think he'd even medal. Keenan is always a brides maid, it seems, and I think his window to get a big win is getting smaller every year. It's a shame.

    ADCC Brackets just released on Flo (AND PBP)

    As far as I can tell, Craig Jones was a brown belt a year ago and he just starched a multi time world champ and a no gi world champ. Not to mention coming out of nowhere from Australia. Somewhere, Kit Dale is crying.

    I had to choke my brother in law unconscious

    I think this qualifies as a "Florida man" story.

    Do you even armbar bro?

    Armbars are my thing, but I never go foot on the hip. I prefer to throw my hips up into high guard right away and attack from there. This is almost always a follow up to an arm drag where I can't get to the back. And even though armbars were my thing from white belt, I couldn't develop the...
