I feel like a few puffs combined with a beer post workout help my muscles and mind relax and that's all I need to train every day. I definitely wouldn't overdo it though.

You compete often.

Yes, we train takedowns every class for 1 hour, thank god for that! After that we even do a couple of 1 minute "randori" rounds (start standing and continue on the ground) with 2 guys in the middle where we use the IBJJF point system. We do this for both gi and nogi. The guy that wins the round...

Greetings sherdogers, Has anyone worked with/knows a reputable manufacturer with China that has experience making MMA/BJJ gear? Replies/PM's appreciated.

I used to be an outgoing guy with a wide social circle but the older I get the less I want to go out and party etc... I work out/do BJJ almost every day so I am even less inclined to do it.... I do go to a pub from time to time, but nowadays I mostly just go home after BJJ, drink beer, play...

On the other hand, those were some sweet counters :)

I was wondering the same thing. The whole single leg set up looked sloppy to be honest (I know this is a demonstration of a counter, but still).

Yeah I definitely have some of these bone spurs in between the vertebrae. I have hurt my neck a few times while lifting or rolling. I had CT done 2 months ago and it showed some of this stuff along with disc herniation in the neck. I was in some serious neck-shoulder-arm pain then. In other...

Sometimes when my head is stuck in a guillotine, triangle, neck crank etc. and I am trying to escape, my neck makes these cracking/clicking noises in the neck. It doesnt hurt at all, butI know I have a couple of herniated discs in my neck and i am not sure if they are the cause or the result of...

Hey man, I enjoy reading your blog. If you are ever travelling through Bratislava, Slovakia and feel like doing some jits, hit me up.

Running is not gonna do much for his gas tank for rolling... if you have trained BJJ for some time you must have seen it yourself... I have trained with athletes from other sports and no matter how fit they are, they quickly gas in sparring simply because they don't know how to grapple...

I dont think your cardio is the issue (unless you are a fat unathletic sob) but rather lack of technique. Are you sure you are not forcing everything? It's normal to gas if you are fighting for your life the whole time, but if you are relaxed and technical you should be fine.

Thanks for the answers guys. I will definitely ease into it when I get back.

Hi everyone, a bit of background - used to be a meathead, had a couple of neck injuries usually while overhead pressing but a couple of days' rest would cure it, been doing BJJ for a year So I've been doing BJJ for more than a year now. I have had a stiff neck or some neck pain but nothing...

I cant even shoot properly, I would probably blow my knees and break my ankles if I tried this, lol

Sure it matters, but let me tell you, my instructor is the smallest dude in the gym, weighing about 70kg with his gi on, yet he kills everyone 99 out of 100 times. I weigh 105kg and he is a nightmare to roll with. I managed to tap him maybe 3 times the past year while he must have tapped me...

I wanted to apply but I am not alpha enough :(

Might I ask why? Wouldnt you be more comfortable on the top as a former wrestler? I personally love being on top, never really liked playing the guard as I try to do the kind of BJJ I would apply in a self defense scenario, but the more I try to play guard in rolling the more I like it, I guess...

Just yesterday I trained no gi with a new guy in our gym, super athletic military Sage Northcutt kind of guy (97kg ripped as fuark) with years of striking and some MMA experience. I am a white belt (around 9 months of training) around the same weight and thought it would be easy to sub him but...

Amazing stuff as always. Thanks, Dan!
