    Anyone ever see someone kicked out for being TS ? Worried about starting training as a MTF …..

    Find the right school and it will not be an issue. I'm in NYC and there are schools that welcome anyone with open arms. These schools open advertise this in their marketing materials. Some schools might be less accepting. I also thought this was being a thread starter at first. Good luck with...

    Quality BJJ Studios in North / Central NJ

    I know a few people that have trained with Jucao and/or his students at some of his schools in NYC. They all had positive experiences. Jucao himself has a reputation as a high level black belt and he wins masters worlds when he competes. I would check his school out. I am not very familiar with...

    Did you ever suddenly lose interest in BJJ?

    You've kept a pretty full schedule of bjj. I'm not surprised you are feeling burned out. You probably would be losing interest in most things if you did it that often. Just try to go and have fun. Over 40 I found 3 times a week is plenty to train. Lift weights, yoga, meditate, run, or whatever...

    Man injures opponent with flying scissor; Reddit thread discusses the idea of suing him

    I had a training partner that used to do this all the time in karate demonstrations over 20 years ago. I never thought of it as particularly dangerous back then. I also knew and mostly trusted this person. If it was a banned move then the person should not have attempted it. However, if you are...

    Baby, Lemme Sweep You Off Your Feet

    It looks like you but this is the second video you posted without a kimura. This might be an alien pretending to be Kpoz.

    Need Advice On Gelling Technique Together

    It will come to you with time. You just need more reps if you are working on a single technique. Your body needs to get used to what you are doing. Probably everything you are doing is a new motion for your body. Just remember, if you cannot do something slowly you will not be able to do it quickly.

    Thank you for sharing! Really enjoyed the article and all the videos. I haven't seen this submission before and I am now scared of it. There is a typo in the Weakness section It's an all or not her submission

    When to break a partner’s arm

    The author of this "article" is Anonymous White Belt. I hate to be that guy but this thing shouldn't be in print for others to read. This should have been a stupid question he asked his instructor and the instructor should have said never hurt a training partner on purpose. It is really that...

    Concepts / moves in bjj that took longer for you to understand or learn ?

    North South choke is something I can never seem to get. I'm a tall and relatively thin person so I blame my puny arms and lack of muscles on my inability to complete this choke. I also cannot omoplata people really. I jokingly say I can't finish an omoplata even with a gun. It should be a good...

    Bernardo Faria is giving away a free instructional of his on bjjfanatics. The code is fariafree21. I used it and it worked. It doesn't work on the bundles.

    Iron neck, has this improved anyone’s bjj ? Or helped injuries?

    Just saw this video. Looks like the device can be used on a door. The video creator said he will make more videos about the iron neck. If you have neck pain already just make sure you do exercises that are safe for you and don't make things worse.

    2020 Not So Bad

    Thank you for sharing the videos. Good work! Did you do any other martial arts before bjj? Some of the things you did in the competition were things I used to do in karate tournaments. Turning to fix your gi and kneeling while the opponent was getting checked out.
