1 ) Loop choke is when they go above your head with their elbow and then go around your neck. 2) Im not super sure on the terminology for this one. I imagine its when you go for the bow and arrow, but instead of scooping out, you go under their arm and behind their head with the non choking arm...

once they have the two hands in, you can reduce the effectiveness of their choke by putting your head onto their chest. You have to keep your ear glued to them, and it becomes difficult to finish (difficult, not impossible). This can buy you some time to escape or break. This works best when you...

This is what makes training in the gi so good. Defense in the gi is much harder than defense in nogi owing to friction and the other persons ability to grab onto stuff. A couple of general tips will help Posture is hella important when facing someone who can gi choke you. Don't let someone...

What? Are you some kind of troll? I asked a question here, and you not only did you get snarky about the reply, you stalked me online and pulled a quote out of context from another conversation? Even if that wasn't creepy and inappropriate, who cares? I told that person not to believe what he...

Is that such a stretch? That someone not affiliated with a team wouldnt know the rumors around that teams forming? You're the one who started with ; I just don't know the drama and you made it sound interesting, why get indignant when I ask?

Hey, im not slighted in the least; I just want to know what the story is. FWIW Im not affiliated with BTT.

Anyone wanna fill me in on the story about btt forming? I feel like I'm missing out

you might not be able to pass the guard in no gi at your gym now... but if you ever did get into a requirement to use it for self defense, you probably wouldn't have to pass guard at all. And if you did, it would very likely be against someone who had no idea how to prevent it....Also you could...

Yep, exactly this. Proper slicers function by shearing through the joint rather than attempting to hyper extend them past their usual range of motion. They're nasty as hell

I haven't had the eye digging, but I have had greenhorns grab and twist at my fingers. My usual approach is to let them have whatever they were trying to do with the fingers (usually stop choking them), make sure to protect myself extra carefully, and then very directly explain to them after...

Jiu-jitsu is great, but we should not put it on a pedestal like that. It does a lot of good for a lot of people... A good number of people I know also have fucked up fingers and knees from doing it. You also wear shoes when walking around outside, do you credit those shoes for carrying you to...

You feel wrong. Step back and get some perspective.

I did traditional jiujitsu for a while before BJJ. It was bad judo, bad karate and bad newaza and katas; I don't recommend it.

I think a big element is what rules open up or close down as the rank is considered. Slicers are a huge part of my game, and I'm experted to not use them till I've been promoted again. 3 months ago I 'needed' two promotions before Id be allowed to deploy a huge swath of my game.

I goto 50-50 when I have confidence that I know the position better than the other person, OR if I have a strong confidence that the other person wants to smash me and is large enough to impose it easily. when I get into 50-50 I focus on isolating the other persons legs from each other, either...

Duuude.... I couldnt make sense of a single one of those sentences :P Well except the last one :P I want you to have this pile of periods; if you ever need more just ask.

since 2004, with a period of break in there. Purple belt in bjj, 1-2 years of wrestling, bit of judo. My grappling is pretty lazy TBH. I tend to give up on stuff rather than try to impose a game. If I do well, its because I can chain things together or cause scrambles when I'm ready and the...

What Questions do you ask yourself as you are Sparring? what the fuck is happening right now?! Training? What the fuck am I doing wrong? Learning? how the hell does that work? Watching Videos? What the fuck is that video with a badger in the sidebar about?! IMO; trying to force questions...

how did you get good at that thing in the first place? Aint no one on earth started bjj winning

I got mine stupidly fast.
