    Getting an STD from grappling?

    unfortunately, some people continue to roll with bloody lips and bloody noses (these are the usual ones),,, also, i've seen people come in with kind of a bloody mat burn and scraped up elbow type of injury with small band aids on them. Of course as you begin to roll the band aid comes off and...

    long term effects of training

    the training methods of most BJJ and No gi sub places are totally flawed. That goes for the Muay Thai places as well. You have guys that are going 100% during training and sparring and really have no concept of being injured or old. During sparring people are going for the high kick KO, etc...

    having trouble with u BJJ guys need help

    I used to be in the same boat....don't wait until you hit the ground, but BEFORE you hit the ground try and NOT be in full guard if you can make the adjustment.....after that, you must realize as you are going to the ground that you will need to correctly posture....arms in control his hips...

    Saulo has a new NO gi instructional out, i can't remember the name, but whatever the newest one is would be good to get. I have it and it was worth the money.

    probably a good idea...it will get your mind off of the pending action the next day and you'll probably perform better.

    Handeling slippery guys

    Excellent description of a good no-gi strategy and concepts..... This thread gives people that are unaware a good example of why no -gi is more difficult than Gi grappling.....No handles to grab onto for every single sub and sweep attempt, and no gi to hold onto for control....All subs are...

    How much have you guys spent on gear?

    over the years: many shirts and shorts, gi, wrestling shoes, wrestling head gear, gladiator mouth piece, would add up to a lot x 2 heavy bags total of about 450$ bag gloves, sparring gloves, MT head gear, MT shin guards all top quality added up to a lot, maybe 300$ the bulk of...

    Does Wavemaster XXL allow for knees and elbows?

    Actually I have a regular bag now with a stand. The only problem is (even though i live on the top story in a condo and i have the bag stand on the second story of my place), it is really loud! I hit extremely hard and the only way to get the bag from swinging too much is going to a #100 bag...

    Does Wavemaster XXL allow for knees and elbows?

    Maybe you could let me in on which bags are more worth my while.... Of course if I knew about some better options then I could make a better choice.

    Does Wavemaster XXL allow for knees and elbows?

    Just wondering if the large base gets in the way of "semi-clinch" type of work. I know it isn't ideal, but for a condo where you don't want to hang from the ceiling or put up a hanging rack it seems like one of the best alternatives on the market. Are there any other options are far as free...

    Rickson vs. Royler. OMG!

    a big weight advantage for a very good middle weight, over a very good lightweight is a very significant thing... a good middleweight still is fast/mobile, but now has strength/power/weight advantage over a smaller guy, and also a good middle weight has good conditioning, unlike a heavy weight...

    Chicken Fighting to Improve Balance

    sounds great for light weights....this is a fairly irrelevant type of drilling for anybody that carries significant weight above the light to light middle weights.

    Throw out the worst excuses you know!

    excuses are legit lots of times.... don't go thinking that excuses don't matter at all. We are talking about a hardcore grappling/fighting with submissions involved. If you only got four hours of sleep last night, or you just ate, or you have a cold, etc......well, that is legit. And if it...

    Dirty Tactics While Training

    funny you should say that....i wrestled at the State Meet in Cali many years ago. ... it's not really a wrestling move, but i guess most wrestlers tend to have a more agressive side to them sometimes that is hard to express in JJ most of the time. In all of the tournies i've seen, and all of...

    Free/cheap rolling in Los Angeles?

    Villa Park Grappling Club in Pasadena is the BEST place to train at a cheap price (i think 5$ a session or something like that), excellent people to work with, a lot of knowledge being shared at the best price in town. If i lived up there i would be there every Saturday, which is when they...

    Dirty Tactics While Training

    very hard to explain the move. And in general you really can't practice it comfortably. But if you don't have a lot of speed, strength and power it won't work well. It's also a timing thing. I kind of adapted it to my body and strengths as some of the things that work for others don't work for...
