Remember- when you are in guard, you should be "attacking" by passing, so the person on bottom is focusing on defending the pass. If you are defending sweeps, then you are losing and will eventually get swept. Have to be the initiator / attacker when passing guard if you are going to be...

Sometimes you gotta play the hits. When I'm feeling feisty, its omoplatas from everywhere.

Highly doubt one in every 6,500 people is a black belt

I think this article is full of shit. No way it's even close. My guess is about 20 % of that number. I know there are about 170 Black belts in Wisconsin (we keep a list). Wisconsin Population is 5.9 million Therefore, 1 in 34,705 people in Wisconsin is a black belt (Assuming Wisconsin is...

I always have one or two things I'm typically trying to work on adding to my game. I know as a black belt the trend is (your game shrinks and you just do a few things unstoppably well) but I'm a technique collector, and I typically teach what I know I can hit in training. So if I'm going to...

Knee lift front snap kick- Machida (courtesy of Steven Segal)

How do you think you would do against the average 60 year old? Some of them can barely get off the couch, and you are rolling against people half your age. Don't worry about it. Do you have the knowledge and understanding of BJJ commensurate to your rank? Are you improving? Could you beat...

My dad is almost a decade older than you. He is a brown belt, but doesn't really roll that often anymore. But he wears his belt and is still out on the mat as much as possible. However, every mother fucker in that gym looks up to him, and everyone getting ready for their brown / black belt...

I'll take that challenge... but also have a 4th degree blackbelt in Karate and spent my youth / pre-teens in point fighting tournaments...

Not bad, but also all these are predicated on your opponent not breaking down your posture. It is rare that they just sit there and not use their arms to control your head.

Or... your submission doesn't require that much effort to defend ;)

Talking shit is 50% of the reason I roll. "Oh, that probably seemed a lot cooler in your head" "Well, you obviously didn't get the memo that my sweep was supposed to work" "Don't try that weak shit here man" "fuck that move. Learn another one" (even though it works on me every time) I talk...

Congrats- one more for the old guys!

Bow and Arrow for life...

This is a 10 year old thread... necro'd for some weird reason... the original post and opening was from 2013

The elbow push is legit. Marcelo teaches / uses it all the time. Will they fall over like that? No. You'll usually recover to some type of butterfly guard.

Even though TS in unserious... I'll weigh in. I've trained karate / kick boxing / muay thai for 25 years... and BJJ for 12. I've fought with really good guys in both sports. If you really want to have this debate, need to control a couple of things. Size- both combatants are roughly the same...

Assuming a 11 year old account is not trolling- This was a fine outcome. Let's say you hit him, he drops, hits his head, has major concussion / TBI. People may debate if you acted appropriately, if they didn't see the head butt, etc. Better to take down and control than knock out in a...
