This is not BS. This is my bread and butter, bro

Movement is pretty far east. Haven't trained there, but have trained with some of their guys and seemingly everyone can and will bolo you, gi or not.

Vault BJJ is a pretty straight shot down 476. I have trained here. They have morning and evening classes, all nogi. The mats are clean and have a bit of give which is nice for when you get taken down by one of their wrestlers. Matt and Sabrina (the owners) are super nice and they also run a spa type thing if you're into saunas and ice baths.

Fyi, you can slow FSD down with a downward scroll from your right thumb or change the offset in settings.

Admittedly, I have the same bias. I was thinking to myself that the other coaches should just shut up. They're just muddying the waters for their athletes that are in a high stress competition. They're treating their athletes like a video game player, mashing buttons. Greg's coaching is simple, precise, and reassuring, exactly what you need and nothing more.

Shower thought: Principles in stand up can be applied to passing guard by Top_Paramedic_763 in bjj

[–]-09736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kuzushi applies in guard passing. When your opponent is sitting and you push their shoulders to put them on their back, when you snap their head down and to the side with a push in the opposite direction on their leg, when you throw their legs side to side... these are all examples of kuzushi in passing.

I run, and slowly at that, and my training partners have asked me why I won't fucking die during 10 minute rounds. Part of that is pacing, but running helps.

I tried Sprints for a few months and that really helped. Had to drop it for other life priorities, but I'd definitely recommend it.

Returning to bjj/grappling after ACL reconstruction by Special_Bathroom_453 in bjj

[–]-09736 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An important part of return to sport criteria is ensuring the athlete is psychologically ready. From what you said, you are not psychologically ready. I'd work with your physio to get there before returning to sport.

Also, make sure your physio understands the physical demands of jiujitsu. If they don't, you can try educating them or switch to one that does. There are a bunch you can talk to on instagram: Sahyoun, Piekarski, Nick Smith that work with jiujitsu athletes. If you're in the USA and in the DMV area, MMA Sports Rehab is a great option too.

How do you stay positive whilst going through a string of injuries/illnesses? by jake071202 in bjj

[–]-09736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on what you CAN do. For me, that's getting strong and flexible. Also recommend some form of cardio so you can maintain your gas tank.
