well if you haven't seen the leak, he started using SARMS when he was 22 and completely wrecked his bodies own ability to produce T, so he's been on medical TRT since then along with everything else he would've been taking.
I don't doubt that the multiple rounds of antibiotics used to fight his staph infection played a role but the truth is steroids will also rot your gut also and give you stomach ulcers. Both of these things combined are likely what caused his chronic illness.

brazilians take pride in how filthy their gyms get, it's that same attitude as how they don't drain their cauliflower ears. Which personally I always found that ironic, cauliflower ear is basically just advertising to everybody you don't know how to escape headlocks properly.
seems to me like only white belts get them and then they're just prone to keep getting it because the tissue has separated. I've never seen anyone for example that's a purple belt or above get cauliflower ear for the first time.
either you got it as a noob or you'll never get it. Or if you do it was a freak accident like a rogue knee or something like that.

do you like to dismount (inc. transitioning to knee-on, etc) for your arm triangle?
why/why not?

i've been experimenting but my training partners don't really seem to be able to articulate what feels tighter when i apply it kek + i see pros and cons and costs and benefits to all the different styles of finishing

Anonymous at Sat, 27 May 2023 21:42:53 UTC No. 148545

>>148540
if your mechanics are good there's no reason to ever dismount. going off to the side is an antiquated way to do it and all it does is give him escape options, it's the same tier as falling off an S mount to finish your armbar instead of just finishing it while sitting on him. Does nothing for you, but in the previous dark ages before everyone started getting technical in the last 8 years or so that's how it was done.

going knee on chest is a somewhat different story because I don't see the end goal really being a choke when you do that, with that one you're trying to be as much of a twat as possible and cooking him a bit

Anonymous at Sat, 27 May 2023 21:53:14 UTC No. 148546

>>148545
right, i'm going to focus on sharpening my mechanics then; i can definitely rationalise the importance of staying mounted (and prefer to do so) but everyone around me + all 3 of the coaches + the gym owner perform/teach it dismounted with slight variations between them

for the knee on style, they're emphasising its benefits as dropping more of my weight on their neck and relying less on the squeeze. i can see the logic but the difference either feels negligible or overkill for an effective constriction.

for the armbar, are you talking about something like this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwaXoOJgcoo?t=206
armbars are something i want to improve on too but find myself often losing it when i fall back for it

>>148546
>something like this?
yes that's exactly the idea
so if your armbar fails you're still in the mount. f you sit back and your armbar fails he's on top of you. you think about it, you worked so hard to get to this dominant position and then decide to jump off to the side. If you end up on your back it should be because he managed to put you there as part of his escape, don't do the work for him.

>but everyone around me + all 3 of the coaches + the gym owner
let me ask you this. When they teach an arm or collar drag from seated butterfly, do they remove one of their butterfly hooks and put their leg to the outside before they do the drag?
if so (and this is not meant to be a knock against them because a lot of people are like this) they're operating with outdated software so to speak and aren't keeping their skills up to date.
which is common for older black belts, hey I got my belt I know everything now and wont change.
but it changes and there's a better way to do it now. There's no need to remove that hook, you can do all your drags from double butterfly just fine and you're not telegraphing to your partner HEY IM GONNA ARM DRAG YOU OK!?? before you do it

The head and arm triangle is my favourite submission and I've been spending a lot of time on it recently. My coach who's a headlock specialist also taught me a method that is really effective and combines some of the security and knee pressure that you're looking for: you do a windshield-wipe as you would if you were dismounting, but stop half way so you have a sort of pseudo knee on belly with your shin running across their pelvis like a belt - this way they can't catch your leg and force you back into half guard.. You finish by sprawling onto your outside hip.

Craig Jones has a great video here illustrating a similar technique here: No the anon you're replying to, but in regards to the head and arm triangle Craig Jones made a good video on it a while ago here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWX1TRm67S8.

How long have you been training? Side control is a tough one, if the guy is way heavier than you and squeezing tight then sometimes there isn't much you can do except wait for him to move or attempt a submission so that you can escape.

yup, fortunately i wouldn't say they're too dogmatic about it and actually say stuff like "this is how i do it and feel most comfortable teaching, others do it differently, you need to find the way that works best for you" (including with the arm triangle). i've never been pulled aside when i do a move differently to how it was taught as long as i understand the underlying concepts. apparently some gyms will do this which is crazy

I have a hard time with too much in either direction if those are the poles. I need multiple viewpoints/avenues of attack on any particular subject. But I also don't wanna jump around subjects unless I'm just so burnt out or frustrated with the one I'm on. Like if I'm just trying to learn something from one instructor in one format, I'm probably not going to get it, no matter how amazing the teacher. But I'm also gonna forget or also not figure anything out if I'm jumping between positions/techniques/etc. Wallet aside, I'm lucky that there's so many videos/styles/formats/gyms/instructors these days so I can hear a ton of viewpoints and explanations.

The one prevailing thread of commonality in Judo and BJJ is using timing and leverage to make the most of your strength. The day 1 white belt escape from side control is getting your inside knee between you and the guy squishing you, because with one weird trick, you can leverage your entire posterior chain against his one arm behind your head.

You know this. He knows this. He's not going to just let you slide your knee under him. You're going to have to outsmart him. Distract him by asking what detergent leaves his gi smelling so fresh and pleasant so you can create space and wedge your knee in there.

I encourage watching instructions from proven currently active people. Avoid anything gracie related or brazilians all together for that matter. As gordon said, brazilians can't afford to buy instructionals. They're stuck in their ways doing 2005 era bjj
stick with people that are having current competition success that aren't the ruotolos. They aren't actually good at jiujitsu from
a technical point of view, they're just 19 and are squirrely but have a lot of unnecessary wasted movements. you can see when they teach they aren't really detailed in what they're saying, They've just been training since they were very young so it's all instinct and probably they don't even know why they do certain things they do. They will fade with age when they can't keep that pace up unless they adjust their style.

stay away from random youtubers teaching techniques too like that zombie proof faggot, he teaches meme techniques that don't work at all. Good instructional can be found on youtube but they should be covering systems and principles. Anyone that's doing an online lesson "hey check out this cool submission" is a waste of your time. A submission without all the adjacent techniques to set it up is worthless. That's why aikido sucks, sure you can totally throw someone by the wrist, but what about all the stuff you had to do to get to that specific position? doesn't teach that part

the main thing as a beginner is to make your defense as impenetrable as possible, be patient with that part of it. once your defense is "annoying" then you start incorporating attacks with confidence that if your attacks fail you will not be put in danger

Have you actually asked them about this? I don't ever publish exactly what I teach because sometimes my students pick things up faster/slower than I expect, and if we need to spend an extra class or two on something, then I've got the flexibility to do so. Same with if someone asks me if we can work a specific technique/position, or if I notice everyone doing something wrong in rolling or if someone has a comp coming up, I can change the class up on the fly. Though I do usually tell everyone what we'll go over the next week at the end of every class (side control escapes, attacks from closed guard, ect...) but won't say the exact technique.

That being said though, if someone came in and they weren't able to do something, I'd be able to come up with a variation for them to do on the fly, or at least another technique. We used to have a few guys with cerebral palsy in my classes, so I'd have variations of every technique we'd go through that they couldn't do planned. I'd hope if you just said "hey I can't do certain things because of my neck, do you know if I could do something else" that they'd be able to accommodate.

I’ve asked multiple times but been ignored. His answer is always that we have ”weekly themes” on Mondays and Wednesdays so at least I’ll know what we’re doing on Wesnesday if I show up Monday. He doesn’t come up with any variations for people when someone is injured, just goes on with the class while people either just stay and watch or leave.

He even told me the other week that I should come in even though I’m injured and we’d be able to adjust training, but when I showed up he just ignored me and went on doing a session I couldn’t partake in. On the flip side no other members ever drill or want to drill, God knows why, so I’m only able to improve during sessions with the instructor and during sparring (applying stuff from instructionals)

Drives me crazy how somebody can be like this while running a business. It’s such a simple thing to do that would make lots of members happier.

that's gonna be a yikes from me
total meme jiujitsu instagram shit, a complete waste of time for 85% of people. Unless you're a super bendy featherweight there's very few times you should find yourself needing to invert. Inverting is a concept that doesn't need to be taught more than once. show people what it is an how to do it, give them some drills to practice it if they want to incorporate it, then move on to actual techniques that and don't require you to be able to suck your own balls to use effectively.
if you have someone built like a celery stalk with a spine made out of rubber bands you can give them privates for inversion techniques. The general population has no need for them though.

I had a teacher that had that cancerous bolo style of jiujitsu and I was walking around with chronic pain and vertigo for nearly 2 years. Then he fucked off back to brazil and I got a new teacher and one day I thought to myself "wow, I haven't had any vertigo or pain in a while" and never any since. And that's when I made the connection and realized the source of all my ailments was that little faggot making me spin this 215lbs beef slab of a body I have on my neck every night.

What's the minimum level of competency one should attain before teaching BJJ? How long would you expect it to take for a judo black belt with a wrestling background to achieve this? Thinking about picking up BJJ when I get my judo 1st dan because a judo+BJJ school sounds more commercially viable than a judo school with the limited set of modern judo ne waza and I'd like to run a judo school in ~10 years or so.

Depends on the venue. Once upon a time, blues sometimes had their own school. These days, you probably won't see a blue running anything but the beginner/kids class at an MMA place, or doing a guest class at a karate dojo or something. With your other credentials, purple seems like it would be a reasonable minimum if you're teaching it in a "for judo" mindset. And would certainly be attainable in that time frame.

That's the minimum
You're not even allowed to officially promote people until you're a black belt

As for judo you need to be I believe at least 3rd degree to before you're officially allowed to be called a sensei
Any promotions you give without those minimum credentials is illegitimate

It's a bit weird because his grip was really shallow too
My best guess is his leg being over the hip was enough to stop it from moving and the floor completed the wedge
So instead of 2 legs it was 1 leg and the floor

But also that may be in combination with Brazilians being complete cowards with leg locks because they still employ them as they were in the 1891 judo curriculum

total oof from me
new white belts need to be segregated from the general population and given simple basic instructions, and the only time they should be rolling is with a black or brown belt to guide them through it until they've shown a grasp of the basics

I don't understand why bjj is so retarded, we are the only assholes that take novices and throw them into spar without fucking teaching them anything
go to any boxing class you're gonna spend at least 3 maybe up to 6 months practicing the basics before you ever spar someone live and there's literally only 4 fucking moves

we're just doing a scenario. last class we learned two ways to pass closed guard to side control. drilled both. then the practical portion was someone starting in closed guard and trying to get to side control while the other person tried to maintain guard or flip them and get top position. not live rolling at all. and its only two stripe white belts and lower. everyone else gets to go play in the deep end of the pool.

My Judo club does thing, and the coach absolutely slams the fuck out of them after teaching them breakfalls and like an osoto gari on the first class. I'm surprised people even come back to train. I've never actually been to a gym where you can't spar on the first day though. The MMA and Muay Thai gyms I've been to would let you spar, but everybody knew to go easy on you, and the "idea" behind the sparring is that you practice your footwork and maybe checking kicks while moving around. Nobody should be going hard on a new person like my Judo club.

I let new people roll on their first day, but only with me or my assistant instructors, and we pretty much tell them to try and take mount while we just play light guard/guard recovery to get them used to the feeling, and usually run them through fundamentals behind guard passing/control for the first few rounds of rolling.

>how do I make the most progress in the shortest amount of time?
Started BJJ even older, so I feel your pain. One thing I can tell you is don't let rolling be the highest intensity cardio training you do. HIIT is a fucking misery, but it will then be a greater misery than class.

Maybe focus on the escapes from all major positions in the beginning. You'll get the opportunity often. Also pick one throw/takedown, one attack from your favorite guard (sweep, choke, submission) and one pass before practice, and try to focus on those in free play.

Stay process focused, not outcome focused. If you don't learn to enjoy randori, you're more likely to quit. Eventually you're going to roll with a new guy and realize how much of a spaz you were in the beginning and how much progress you've made. Don't bomb him in stand up and let him work escapes after you get dominant positions on ground. And then right after a color belt is going to score a submission with some bullshit, yet again, because that's the circle of life.

but what you're describing isn't really sparring, that's closer to just movement exercises
I consider it sparring when the partner is adversarial in their intent
and that's the way it was for me when I started, it was sink or swim, just went in and got fucked up every night, and it was all trial and error until I figured out where to put my body parts so they wouldn't get pulled off.

it was the opposite of what you're describing with judo where the only thing I did on my first day was learn how to move around. lapel sleeve and basically waltzed for an hour
then the second day when it was time for randori I got partnered with a brown belt and he was told to just move around with me and then he threw me like he was trying out for the olympics. I didn't even know what was happening, it was one second I was standing and in a blink I see the floor coming up at me where the only thing that saved me from being completely spiked was I flinched and tucked my chin. The mat grazed the hair on top of my head and I landed mostly on my upper shoulders and neck instead of directly on top of my head, and I'm just looking up at the ceiling with my head kind of rattled. The teacher had a vesuvius tier eruption and kicked that guy out of the club on the spot never to be seen again for that stunt

Which part isn't sparring? The striking part is basically just sparring, but you're going easy on them. I'm still throwing punches, still getting them to throw punches, but I'm not trying to knock them out. How I teach the BJJ guys, obviously I'm not ripping their heads off, but I'll still be sweeping them, locking them up, stopping them from getting mount. Sometimes I'll sweep them and play top game for about 30-60 seconds and sort of guide them through an escape, but that's the same shit I do to white belts and blue belts who are low-level as well. I just see it as how I'd roll with shitters.

>>149265
Yeah the guys at not only my Judo gym, but the 7 Judo dojos I've been to in my country I've witnessed decimate people on their first day. I don't know why they do it. We've had coral belts and state presidents watch on as it happens and not say anything as sandans are slamming people hard. Maybe it's supposed to be some kind of immersion tactic so they don't get scared of being thrown with high impact, as they can do it "safely" as they land on their back, but I've seen many new people sit off after and not come back, might be why Judo is pretty much dying in my country. It seems counter-productive to me though. Like I said earlier, at every other style I've been at, they allow sparring for newer people on their first lesson, but nobody's retarded enough to go hard on them, except the Judo dojos I've been to.

Why would you throw new judokas with high-intensity throws when getting them to trip with a simple sasae feels doubly rewarding, looks funny and won't cause serious injury?

Not sure, because I love ashi-waza and like it because it's so low-intensive. The only other reason I can think of is that the coaches/sandans I see throwing newer people are all like 77kg or lower, so maybe they see it as "look I'm showing these guys a small person can throw people as well", since I remember one very specific instance where one of our 60kg Olympic guys threw a 130kg first lesson guy with a massive ura nage. But I feel like you can demonstrate that idea without killing people.

Pin escapes are the #1 skill Danaher thinks beginners should learn. Some don't agree and think having a guard is more important - after all, why are you escaping if you have nowhere to escape to?
New Wave Positional Escapes is what you're looking for if you want Danaher. New Wave series in general are the latest and greatest of what he has to offer.

I'm a beginner as well and I found better success with:
>Garry Tonon - a cliffnotes version of Danaher, Exit the System is his escape instructional
>Lachlan Giles - Submeta might be all you need, but he also has full instructionals out
Danaher will go back and explain the essence of human consciousness and meaning of life before returning to demonstrate a leg lock. It's great if you want to know the WHY behind what you're doing, but you'll never make use of it at this point. Just the runtime is demotivating enough. Trust me, I've been there.
>don't have the coordination/endurance/competence to actually do it when resisted.

The thing that nobody wants to say in this documentary is that associating with "Brazillian" jiu-jitsu is embarrassing today, especially with people who follow combat sports on a casual basis. It became McDojofied, and Kron Gracie's last performance is a testament to how the most powerful family in BJJ dug its head into the sand.

It's a problem in anything combative.

Look at how many absolute dogshit professional boxers and gyms there are. That isn't just corruption. Most adults don't seek out fighting of any kind, let alone actively trying to be great at it. That leaves a very, very small pool of people who are not only great at performing it, but also great at getting other people to be.

focus on one escapes instructional at a time for now. some people are recommending danaher's new wave escapes but the leg lock entries might overcomplicate things for you if you don't even have a sense of the fundamentals like framing, over/underhook management, grips, etc
i'd recommend Lachlan's fundamental BJJ escapes first. if you have limited time, prioritise escapes from mount, the back, and side control (the dvd isn't organised in that order so just look at the contents page)
also if you're doing open mat, ask to do more positional sparring and spam your escapes repeatedly and with different skill levels/builds, etc

I get that you can often threaten wrist locks from the guard and elsewhere, but I feel like those positions don't give you enough control over the wrist to actually finish them. Standing wrist locks especially so.

For me, the ones I have the most success with are from triangles and arm triangles. I mostly just try to finish the strangle unless I'm trolling my training partner. Wristlocks are fun but not the most reliable attack.

I don't finish them, but I catch a lot of them from top side control where they'll base with their hand against your shoulder or hip. You can either use your body positioning to move they're elbow so you can pressure straight into the ground, or cup the back of their elbow with both your hands, and squeeze it that way. Like I said though, I usually don't finish them, as generally when someone realises they're getting wristlocked, they instinctively explode their arm straight, and it's pretty easy to catch a kimura/armbar off of that, which I find more secure.

Hanging out where your opponent can leverage all four limbs instead of you cross facing the shit out of him has it's benefits too. I'm not sure it's just the equivalent of a shido in Judo for not being aggressive enough.

> its a ridiculous sport that doesn't resemble actually fighting at all
Sure. Never wore 16 ouncers to a bar either, and a good solid right hook is going to leave me with a boxer's fracture anyway, so in a way, that makes boxing a ridiculous sport too.

I'm fine with both just being silly sports, relative to MMA. Sometimes we can train in an less than realistic manner if it provides us some extra safety, longevity, and fun. Maybe that last one is enough to get you to compete in one of those ridiculous sports just to do it with training partners.

Either way, stay safe, and good luck with your MMA tourneys too, anon.

Passing from the feet? Because now I'm in position to stomp/kick your head, which I can do from standing. I can also pop straight up from side control into a soccer kick. Check out Pride. I think UFC passing would look different if upkicks to an opponent on the knees was allowed.

I will agree passing from the knees is an abomination.

We tell kids, adults, and whoever that they should tap early, 100% on them, in fact they got promoted too early because it's a stain on the belt whenever someone didn't tap when they should have
Also you won't know with a choke because some people really can defend it, and it's a low key Brazilian tap if you tell them to tap, so don't fucking do it because it's a bad habit
Joint locks are a different story as kids have Gumby joints and you should feel obligated to hold it securely if you can until they give up because imo a secure grip (not even cranked) hurts in a weird, concerning way

As for knocking people looking into supplementary material, we can't all have the top coaches.

I am absolutely dog shit at side control. I suck at holding it from the top and escaping from the bottom. When we do mount, back, butterfly or whatever the fuck position I'm usually slightly better than 50/50 with my training partners of equivalent experience (<1 year white belt). But, side control, I lose the position or get held 90% of the time or more. This "feels" like a bad position for my body type, but I'm not sure. I'm 6'3" more legs than torso and 215lbs, taller than everyone else in class by at least 5 inches. Is there any video out there of a lanky motherfucker explaining this position?

Retarded analogy. I train at a high level gym with great instruction, but it might not always be relevant to the problems I'm currently trying to solve. Once you get near purple or above, you have to navigate your training on your own to some degree.

The main question is why would you want to? Theres no money in this shit

You're gonna spend your 20s flat fucking broke chasing championships nobody gives a shit about (including most BJJ practitioners) Bumming rides from people to get around, sleeping on mats in the locker room, cleaning in exchange for training time, Any food you buy is going To be marked down for quick sale because it's about to go bad, your dishes will just be plastic containers you stole from the deli at the grocery store, any prize money you win probably wont even cover the travel it took to get to the event.
And then when you're about 32 years old, the injuries will have accumulated a bit, you'll feel your body just starting to slow down a little, recovery isnt what it used to be, and realize you maybe only have one good run left in you before you aren't able to compete with that level anymore
And there you are, close to middle aged with no money, education, or useful skills of any kind. Maybe you can run a school, if only you knew anything about business

So in short there are 2 kinds of people that train full time
Those of us that have rich parents and are able to be man children because they'll give us money any time we ask for it
Or those (such as Brazilians) who are so poor that living on a dirty crash mat in a locker room is an upgrade

it's not better for pinning though, it's actually exactly the opposite
it's a hold over from judo where you can win by pinning someone if you're passed their legs. The reason that wins is because it's really difficult to do so if you're able to do that it shows dominance
brazilians completely smooth brained the situation and just started doing it without knowing why they were doing it

if someone is in half guard or full guard they are pinned more securely than in side control
in fact they are pinning themselves, they have willingly put their body under yours
so the only reason in bjj people pass the guard is because it scores points. In MMA they stay in the guard and just drop strikes from there because theres no reason to go any further

> The old lore
Technically, the old lore was that yoko shiho gatame counted as osaekomi, same as kesa/kata/kami-shiho, and you could transition between all four while maintaining constant pressure on uke, avoiding his legs, and while hunting for submissions or reaching 20 seconds. Side control as far as I can tell is simply a modified yoko-shiho to apply more cross face and fully entrap the far shoulder, and I've seen strong newaza guys in Japan hit something pretty close to it, with a leg out instead of just a knee in uke's close armpit.

Or maybe Maeda purposely trained the gaijin wrong, as a joke.

OK, Khabib did a ton of work from half guard, but he always smashed his opponent's posture flat first. I am very skeptical of the claim that the guard, open or closed, is a safe place to hang out in an MMA fight.

I mean, being on bottom is always worse than being on top, but if I had to be on bottom I'd rather have the guy in my closed guard than be stuck in bottom side control.

I just got through the first few volumes of the instructional so I can't talk in-depth, but he's using various moves like spiral rides (hence the name), claws, turks, half nelsons...

Big emphasis on controlling the legs, because that greatly diminishes their ability to explode out of position. Try holding a monster like Nicky Rod in side control.
>>150418
It definitely looks like training with Volk and having to keep MMA in mind was a big breakthrough for his game (and therefore B-Team). He realized pure BJJ is operating within old and scattered rulesets.

Controlling legs makes a lot of sense, I thought that was the whole point of passing: neutralize his legs.

The premise is: to fight Nicky Rod, you'll have to think outside the box. Holding his shoulders down? The guy escapes RNC's by vaulting 360 degrees backwards
After he neutralizes the legs and gets into a position he wants to be in, the second goal is to tire out his opponent by riding this position out and adapting to what happens.

that's the thing, nobody is stuck in bottom side control that's a very mobile position to work from, you have side to side movement as well as bridges. This is even why in bjj the moment you get your 3 points you move on to a different position. Beginners get stuck down there because they don't know how to escape, but once you know how to escape you can escape at will and just stand up if you really want to

I say this with kindness, but that just ain't so. Kano developed Judo alongside jujitsu teams from the emerging Tokyo police in the Meiji era of the late 1800s. There was considerable pressure to highlight techniques suitable for arresting suspects. Hence 20s of osaekomi. That is not to say that the pins cannot be modified to cut your wind. I've had crusty old Japanese instructors who would not respect a tap from a pin, even if you were staring to see the wizard. Shit practice, in my opinion.

> the only reason in bjj [and logically Judo] people pass the guard is because it scores points
I can't speak to MMA, as I do not play that game. But it is much more difficult in pure grappling to stand, control the legs, or just smash an opponent if they have the leg version of wrapping your arms around the waist. Granted, you need a plan besides wrapping and holding on for dear life, but plenty of sweeps, submissions, and routes to taking the back available from that position. It's just not the end all be all that it was back in the 90s.

If someone is really huge like in excess of 260 it may take a few more bumps to get going
But I cant be held down, my frames are too good

I got this way by conceding side control in every single roll for months
And then conceding turtle in every single roll
It has left me with an ability to wrestle up and just stand and nobody has managed to stop it yet
The gi makes it more challenging because of the handles, so it takes longer with there being grip breaks needing to be done
but that's fake grappling using a crutch anyway

If you need a heavy jacket and rope tied around a person's waist to hold them down then you can't really hold them down, know what I mean?

Keep watching the same one for awhile. Watch it actively, and passively in the background while doing other things. When you feel like you've really milked it, move on. Then come back to it in a few weeks/months, and you'll often find you didn't come close to milking it. Repeat until you really aren't seeing anything new, then make those months into years and try again. The major benefit to a lesson video never changing is that you'll really get to see what you've picked up over time.

>that's the thing, nobody is stuck in bottom side control that's a very mobile position to work from, you have side to side movement as well as bridges
Side control is a very good position, but I find its advantages are neutered by a lot of the current rulesets and skillsets.

One of the biggest advantages of side control is that while it's not the best for holding someone down to run out the clock, it's great for your own safety. There aren't too many attacks people can do from bottom side control, especially compared to something like half guard, and the only control the person on bottom has over you is really if they body lock you, other than that though, if you ever feel like you're in danger, you can Just Stand Up™. The reason that people like Craig Jones will call this useless though (and I say this as a big fan of him) is that he's shit at takedowns and is a guard puller. For him, and most BJJ players that don't train takedowns, you're giving up side control to go to a position you're weak in (standing), though if you're good at takedowns, especially in BJJ comps, I'll happily stand and either take them back down, or usually standing guard pass again as they'll stay down.But if you're inside half guard or inside guard, you're letting them control you, and it's a lot more complicated to Just Stand Up™. I compete in 100kg+ at 115kg so I'm on the smaller scale, but if I'm against the 170kg+ monsters that sometimes show up, I'm not letting them get any control over me as any sweep they land I'm probably fucked on bottom. In side control, if I feel them trying to roll, I'll either let them roll and take a top turtle (back control is useless against guys this size as you can't get your legs around) or just stand back up and tire them out.

cont...

In self-defence I would advocate never going to the ground, but if you do, side control (or my preferred neon belly) is the only place I'd go as it's the safest position to stand up from in my opinion. You'll always have to watch out for their dickhead friends running at you from behind. With back control or half guard/guard, you're entangling them with your legs, which you have to unwrap to stand up. With side control, at best they can body lock you, while their mate runs up to soccer kick you in the head, but all you have to do is break that grip to get up. Realistically, I don't think anyone will hold on like that, so you can usually stand up pretty instantly if you see someone coming. Again, I'd go neon belly if anything as you can get to your feet in like 0.5 seconds, if that, if you see/hear someone running up.

In MMA though, half guard is better for control, but the best attacks from side control would be knees to the head or transitioning to north south for the same, which is banned. Really the only decent attacks you can do from side control is move to a mounted crucifix, which is still a bit iffy in itself. Again, you can't really get swept from side control, so if someone were to roll to turtle, you can follow up with keeping top turtle and land knees to the head, if they were allowed. But in the current ruleset, mounted crucifix is all you really have.

TL;DR: Side control is good because it's safe from bottom attacks and easy to stand up from if you feel in danger. This doesn't help in BJJ comps if you're not confident in your standing takedowns or guard passing. It's second only to neon belly in self-defence as it's one of the quickest to stand up from in case of multiple attackers, and is honestly pretty shit in MMA since knees to the head are banned.

Oh yeah I'm on the smaller scale relative to the rest of the people in the 100kg+ division, as most people walking around at about 105kg will just cut. But there's about 6 brown and black belts in my country that walk around between 140kg (310lbs) -170kg (375lbs) so I avoid any kind of position where they have any kind of control with their legs like the plague, since it's a struggle to get out from under them. My gameplan against them is just tire them out standing before going for trips/legs, get side control and let them roll to turtle if they want while hunting for chokes, and if they stand obviously make it hard, but don't attach myself too hard as they'll usually be tired by then and a lot easier to take back down.

>most BJJ players that don't train takedowns
this is a problem with bjj in general operating under the lie that 90% of fights go to the ground and then it's reinforced by the rules

consider this, new rule: if you sit or pull guard your opponent gains 3 points

why? well let me explain
if you're pulling guard you're doing it for one reason only, because you believe if you stand up with your opponent he'll win the exchange and put you in a disadvantageous position. You don't sit on the floor if you're confident you can take the other person down, so by doing that you're conceding a takedown
you're saying lets skip the dog and pony show, I know I can't win there so lets just get straight to business. He effectively took you down without even laying a hand on you.

but a takedown is only worth 2 points, so why does he get 3?
its an additional penalty for doing something so cowardly and because a sweep is worth 2 points. So get the idea out of your head of "oh I'll just give up the 2 and then take them back with a sweep to reset it and I'm still where I want to be"
nope, even with that sweep you're still down 1

Sounds like BJJ just isn't the sport for you buddy. I'm the guy before who was posting about how I'll just stand up if I feel in danger because I am confident in my takedowns, but that's also just me "cowardly" leaving the position where my opponent can start leglocking me. Everyone is going to disengage from disadvantageous positions and re-engage where they have the advantage. I won't teach guard pulling because I don't like the style, but people should be able to grapple how they want. If you find guard pulling annoying, you're probably the person just getting stuck in guard instead of just passing and taking the 3 points. Otherwise I can't see why you'd be complaining the opponent putting you in a position where you can just gain your 3 points for the pass.
If you want a sport where takedowns are guaranteed, then you can do judo or wrestling, but just keep in mind they'll start screaming to the referee as soon as you look at their ankle the wrong way.

Is that why you're in here posting in the BJJ thread instead of the non-existent wrestling thread or the Judo thread halfway down the board? I'm sure the people making a living off the sport aren't fans, they just train 3 times a day every day right? Why would anyone care what a casual who just watches thinks? I care about actually doing the sport, and it seems people are still doing the sport, so it's fine. You think the world class competitors are against guard pulling? Most of them are the ones doing it. If they wanted to penalise it, there's nothing stopping them or anybody from running their own competitions where guard pulling is penalised.

If you want to penalise guard pulling, then go rent a high school gym, set up a competition on Smoothcomp and make your own tournament and get people to join advertising that guard pulling is penalised. There's no dictatorship like the IJF overseeing every tournament, so be the change you want to see, because crying about it online in an anonymous forum isn't doing anything. Make a submission wrestling thread or bump that dead catch wrestling thread and get people interested about grappling with submissions and takedowns. Otherwise it's about as useful (and repetitive) as me going into the Judo thread and complaining about how leg grabs being banned killed the sport.

Then why do you want to penalise guard pulling? As you said, the sport is the part people are least engaged with, so how would adding rules to the sport make any difference? Just don't teach guard pulls in your gym, which is exactly what I do. I've been training for over a decade and looking through the ADCC 2022 athlete list, I can name Geo Martinez, Garry Tonon, Lachlan Giles, Rafael Lovato Jr, Craig Jones, Gordon Ryan and Gabi Garcia as the only names I recognised before that competition. And half of those are because I've trained with them in real life. I don't see that as a problem, we don't need BJJ athletes to become celebrities like McGregor.

I don't know what problem you think penalising guard pulling in the sport is going to fix. Judo went and made changes to its sport to make it "spectator-friendly" but I doubt someone who's never trained can name any Judoka outside of maybe Ronda Rousey, who's famous for MMA anyway. Hell I've competed in Judo for the last 5 twins and I can think of maybe the Abe twins and Teddy Riner. I'd prefer if the gyms just catered to teaching the techniques the gyms want to teach, and the tournaments catered their rules to the people who actually compete, not some random who's never going to step foot on the mats themselves. And if you just care about people not pulling guard in the gym since you don't care about competitions, then literally just ask your partner not to, or get better training partners. It seems like this is a problem you can fix yourself rather than trying to enforce a rule on everyone in the world.

Because the entire scoring convention is supposedly based on the superior position in an actual fight and if you pull guard you need to be punished for doing something absolutely retarded like that in a real fight

Takedowns are the most important part of grappling full stop, in fact the ability to dictate where the fight takes place is actually the most important skill in fighting all together
But the sport doesn't reward it and even actively encourages people to not do it so as a result bjj practitioners are so legendarily awful at takedowns it's even a meme in the normiesphere

But as you said, scoring will hardly affect those? Supposedly hardly anyone competes so why would they care about it? In a real fight, training any art that doesn't combine both striking and grappling is absolutely retarded. Judoka don't walk in protecting their face, amateur wrestlers walk at you with a squat with their hands down. If you want realistic grappling, go to an MMA class, you can use slams there as well. Anyone who only does one art, especially a grappling art, is kidding themselves if they think it prepares you completely for a "real fight".

>it's even a meme in the normiesphere
Why do you care about what normies think? The only people who's opinions you care about should be the people that train, and more importantly, the people you train with. They're the people paying to train and actually participating in the sport. Before I started teaching, the last coach didn't teach takedowns. I took over and my students wanted to learn takedowns, so now we do takedowns as a part of every class. If they all came to me and said they don't want to do takedowns any more, then I'd consider it, because they're the opinions that actually matter.

And like I said, why are you even mad about this? Do you compete and hate the rules? Go make your own tournament with your own rules, BJJ is probably the easiest art to make your own tournament in, I've even run my own tournament in a local gym with 350 people, because they said they liked our ruleset. If it's people in your gym pulling guard then tell them not to do it against you or train with other people. Like I said before, I like takedowns and have never and won't ever pull guard, but why does what other people do affect you?

Practice typically refers to what the team does as a whole when they aren't playing in competition. Each individual player is absolutely training for improvement in specific areas every practice, whether it's skill or performance based.

In baseball, the short stop may be focusing to hit a curve ball. A juijitsu guy may be focusing on a specific attack from a position. A receiver could be improving his execution of a given play.

If you aren't seeking improvement in a specific area, I have to ask why you're even going. If you just want to highlight training as focusing on physical capabilities like speed, strength, endurance, or flexibility as seperate from the practice of the technical fundamentals of the game, I guess that works too.

Bad idea, it's like handing untrained 4 year olds real loaded guns. There's a time and place to teach people moves capable of causing grievous injury, and it's not during white belt when someone still doesn't know what a closed guard is or can't roll for more than 2 minutes without gassing out.

I'd call cheer leading a sport, but not a sporting competition, just like 100m sprint. Chess doesn't rely on athletic ability like cheerleading does, so I wouldn't call it a sport, but it is a competition in that you can negatively effect your opponents. Whereas as cheerleading, 100m sprint, figure skating and other sports like that I wouldn't call competition. It's not like I can push the person next to me or affect them in any way in a sprint, you might as well just have everyone run individually and there's no difference, just like cheerleaders don't all perform at the same time.

My definition is in order to be a sport there needs to be an objective scoring system where completing a task nets you a predetermined number of points for doing so
Do thing = get points
If judges are the ones giving out points based on their subjective opinion then it's an exhibition, not a sport
I do thing, you do thing, people vote who did better

To draw a further distinction now between sport and game. If you play it on a table it's a game
If you're not playing on a table then ask yourself this
can you play it with a beer in your hand? If yes you're playing a game not a sport

Not him but they definitely do, it's usually the white/blue belts in the honeymoon phase where they make their entire identity BJJ because they're really excited about it at the start. I think they seem to see us as like some super human beings since they idolise the skill level/belt, but don't see the person behind it. It really hit me one long weekend I was drinking at home and walked to the local bottle shop at like 3pm in my trackies and crocs, and one of my students saw me there. He seemed really surprised and asked me why I was looking at the bottom-shelf vodka and I was like "idk, it's cheap and gets me drunkest, what else should I drink", and he replied "I thought you'd only be drinking like scotch or something fancy, you're a black belt", like I can't be a grub in life because I know how to choke good.

It's not a BJJ-exclusive thing though, it's like how people care about Cardi B's political opinion or listen to some basketball player's ideas on how society runs. People will idolise one aspect of a person and in turn, idolise everything about them.

I got my brown belt in 5 years, on track for black in under 7 but time in grade is a thing and lockdowns threw a curve ball into my ascension
I had to find a new gym where the instructor wasnt a fool and actually had people worth training with

So basically the way it works is like this, I'd let you pick starting positions and if you're under 40 I'd give you the sauce and if you're over 40 I'd let you work so the younger belts still have someone to look up to
But as gentlemen we'd both realize what happened, because you have to know if you're getting a little older a feisty brown belt 15+ years your junior is a hard day at the office

Yeah but lots of fighters are assholes, so what? It's not BJJ's fault that in a bar-fight the cop initiated, Lo gets control and wins, lets the cop go, and the cop was a sore loser anyways, who surprise shoots him in the face before repeatedly kicking his dead body on the ground.

I don't care what martial art you train, if that's your version of a "streetfight", no martial art works in a streetfight, and even if you win you lose.
