Perhaps a different approach to training as a guest in someone else's house could be advisable? I've only dropped in at one other place, but I didn't go for any submissions and let the smaller or less skilled guys get good positions on me. I was just there to sweat and have fun, not collect...

I'll be in my bunk

125$ for headlock escapes and a blue belt

I'd have to agree with the guys that said laundry and an irrational fear of skin infections. I've had a couple zits that led me down the rabbit hole of image searching staph infections lol

He's refined and perfected the absolute best pathway to the mount or back control, and those are the best, most dominant positions, especially for controlling slippery, highly athletic people without gis. At least as far as my experience goes, side control is a lot less advantageous in nogi or...

I'm pretty sure Rogan said on a recent ufc that calf slicers are only a pain tech. The general level of knowledge on lower body attacks is still lacking in a lot of bjj guys. There are some people that seem to have really bendy feet and seem to be immune to ankle locks and toe holds tho, in my...

Good stuff. Maybe I need to revisit dlr again. I tried it for a long time and just got knee slide passed relentlessly. I went to more double sleeve feet on hips and collar sleeve stuff, which works great, but better guys are just too good at removing the foot from the hip and getting so low and...

That's one of the great things about grappling. You can train pretty damn hard. I'm much more careful about who I choose to spar strikes with. Although there is a similar "politeness" effect where new people will punch at your gloves instead of trying to actually touch the face, which requires a...

I stumbled upon a Japanese YouTube user who had uploaded a bunch of Ryan hall dvds. They had been up for about a year so I figured I didn't need to rush to watch them. Got thru a good chunk of the first defensive guard DVD, came back like a day later and they were all deleted.

Uchi mata covered the technical aspects really well, but also listen to j123- applying those technical details fully requires a change in mind set. A lot of people are too nice and kind of subconsciously withhold pressure to avoid causing discomfort to a friend and training partner. You have to...

Burn

I never said anything about deserving a belt or not so don't project that on to me. Any belt given by a qualified instructor is deserved. 10 years to black is the average according to aesopians data, so those guys are literally, by definition, above average. I'm below average and comparing it...

I think those were actual compliments and people were comparing their own times to illustrate the impressiveness of the accomplishments, and you wrote a butt hurt essay about some imagined slight.

To your second paragraph, I actually think only training grappling could be bad for muscle balance and posture and such, especially if you play a lot of guard

Can't bring me down? Hah I say. Can't tough this

Kimura grip is great on top, n/s, side control, taking the back, but I find it pretty ineffective from the bottom of closed or half guard. I'm sure there are people that make it work but it's not for me

That feeling never really goes away if you're training with good guys. You'll keep getting smashed by higher ranks, there will be younger/more athletic lower ranks that give you fits, and even when you are smashing guys you'll find a dozen things you missed or could've done better so you will...

Congrats to the both of you. Must be a couple of studs, I'm at 6 years and still probably a few years away from purple lol

You're little manlet hands aren't rocking any normal sized men, get real And to that end, I want more details. I get a whiff of little guy complex from your posts, and people rarely get into verbal altercations without any provocation unless alcohol is involved. Maybe you brought this on...
