    Do You Roll With Women?

    To me, the only thing that has ever been awkward rolling with women is the size difference. Even then a girl with good grappling chops can still tie you up pretty good. Do you ever feel gay when rolling with dudes? If not, then you shouldn't feel anything sexual about rolling with women. It's...

    Thick neck for BJJ

    I would have immediately went into "I am going to submit this man with a brutal calf crusher" mode after a slam like that. Good neck building tips. Also, kudos to Cheez Wiz on the Hank Rollins pic. That dude has the neck of a yeti.

    What should you be able to do, physically, before starting BJJ?

    Dude. Stop spreading lies. You can get by perfectly fine with just working operational knowledge of crutches. A walker AT MOST.

    ACL Reconstructive Surgery

    I'm 26, had ACL reconstruction June 2010. Tore it doing a basic hip throw in September 2009. Couldn't get surgery for a while thanks to insurance hold ups. For me personally...

    Lmao. I would not have been able to roll with a straight face. Or at all, really.

    Strength in BJJ

    Strength training is fantastic for your body, but remember that as a hobbyist you're doing this for YOU, not for the school. You're paying them money to be there... Not the other way around. Cater your experience to be what you enjoy, and if that academy no longer fits it... Switch!

    Hey beginners! Here's your primer.

    Sounds pretty reasonable to me. I wish more gyms would enact a rule like that.

    Hey beginners! Here's your primer.

    Still, I see his point. I specifically remember a moment back when I was a white belt of a fellow training partner (who was also a white belt) trying to teach me the wrong way to do a scissor sweep when I was already doing it properly.

    Hey beginners! Here's your primer.

    Ran a quick search and didn't see this posted, so here it is. There are always a ton of new grapplers coming around this forum and asking for advice on beginning their training. I ran across this article the other day written by Aesopian, who posts here. It's concise and accurate. THE QUICK AND...
