    Gracie Academy: Need to train and its only 1 mile away but..

    This is kind of an odd thread. You don't even mention the name of the gym or where it is located so that people that might have been there can give information. Your a black belt so you should know the deal just call them up and see if they are cool with people dropping in to train with them.

    I switched from BJJ to Pure Wrestling (freestyle)

    I am a BJJ brown belt and I started doing pure wrestling with my sons high school team a few months ago. I am having a blast and learning a lot. It is also helping my BJJ. I wish there were more opportunities for adults to wrestle.

    Wrestling training at lower intensity?

    I am 46 and have been training BJJ for a long time. I wanted to improve my wrestling skills so a few months ago I decided that if I really wanted to get good at wrestling I should find and train with actual wrestlers.

    BJJ - Specialist Vs Generalist

    I think that you have to have technical answers for all of the situations that may arise while you are grappling. What those technical answers are is up to you.

    Yazdani Underhook Study: Sweeney done did it again

    Great videos. I love working the underhook. My main attacks from there are throw by, snatch single, knee pick, snap down, and a cross body double. Most of my underhook attacks are from the standard u derhoom with head on the same side as the underhook. Looks like The clip of Rich Salamone was...

    Yazdani Underhook Study: Sweeney done did it again

    Yeah , that sucks. I have had matches where I walked the guy out of bounds over and over again because they refused to even tie up and attempt anything. They wouldn’t even pull Guard so it’s like you don’t want to wrestle and you don’t want to pull guard so why exactly are you even competing...

When you run the pipe he will hop his free leg closer to his captured leg in an attempt to maintain his balance. When he does that his...
