    I don't understand the scoring in the Nicky/Jamil match. I thought Jamil won.

    Rule question: is screaming in pain equivalent to a verbal tap in sport BJJ?

    Garry Tonon screamed out to wristlock against Matteus Diniz at 2015 Pans and the match was stopped due to the verbal submission. Tonon said: “Got Second place in open class, all the respect in the world to matheus, he put on a wristlock and I let out a knee jerk reaction yell, I yelled, that’s...

    The success of Team Lloyd Irvin

    I agree 100%. Would I have my child train at TLI? No. But no one can deny that he is probably the most success American born BJJ coach in the history of a very young sport.

    The success of Team Lloyd Irvin

    Shane Jamil Hill-Taylor and Mahamed Aly both won worlds and Tim Spriggs won no gi worlds. All last year. Like him or not Irvin is probably the most successful American born coach right now.

    Why is wrestling not popular? Most schools do not even know their wrestling team

    Because it's a fucking grind and most likely the 3rd or 4th most popular sport in your school so if you're going to put in that kind of work you're going to try out for football, soccer, or baseball first. I remember being 16 and having friends cutting weight and thinking it was the dumbest...

    BJJHQ & 93 Brand are the WORST

    I love BJJ HQ. I've had two delivery issues with them and both times they made good. One of the times it was likely it wasn't their fault but that of the Postal Service but they resent me my bag and didn't charge for the bag or shipping.

    Will studying anatomy and physiology improve submissions?

    There is knowledge and then there is the application of knowledge. I'm sure an electrical engineer knows more about electricity than an electrician but I know who I want to rewire my house.

    lol at bj vs ryan hall

    Nova Uniao always train in the gi during MMA camps. It's possible this is not effective at all but I have more confidence in Andre Pederneiras over random people on the internet.

    lol at bj vs ryan hall

    Yes, BJ just walked into it. Ryan Hall had nothing to do with the heel hook. Even Artem would have heel hooked BJ.

    lol at bj vs ryan hall

    Ryan Hall is top of the food chain foot locker that has been doing it for a decade. He could probably go to ADCC trials and get a spot tomorrow. It doesn't mean his opponents aren't good it means he's that much better.

    People don't tap to footlocks. Why did Boogeyman?

    The people who know what they are doing are finishing straight ankle locks torquing the foot like toe holds and that is particularly the case with the belly down ankle lock.

    Friendly Challenge from a Co-Worker

    The confidence of untrained people in their abilities never fails to amaze. The unedited version was so much more satisfying. Thanks for posting. Did you ask your guy why he was wearing his wife's workout clothes?

    Gordon Ryan's Back Attack System as seen at the Nogi Pans and Worlds

    Gordon does the same grip in this Instagram video but I don't think it's for the reason you speculate because he has the back but just one hook. Reddit users suggest it's just a control position. It's very possible he uses the grip for a number of different reason.

    Just Ralph being Ralph

    The inevitable video has now been released. Ralph just cheap shots Flavio after shaking hands and making small talk.
