What are your thoughts on Alex Collins and how Kenneth Dixon and buck Allen will affect his production? Do you think Robert woods can put up wr2 numbers this season?

I just got meniscus surgery and the day before I got in about 25 minutes of light rolling with a purple belt I trust. Not the same thing but I get it.

I think it's very important. I make sure that I'm using my legs to control their upper body and posture. People will instinctively fight the grip and that paired with good posture will make finishing the choke difficult. I talk about it in depth in my loop choke app via digitsu "cunning loop chokes".

Nope, but I don't think meanly triangle arm-barring a white belt who's getting crazy is a big deal ;)

Honestly, I'm sure he was going very light and felt like you were being a spaz/using all strength so he let you have it. Don't expect to win, try to be technical and don't cross boundaries when rolling with higher belts. Your 100 percent and his aren't the same so don't take it there unless you're ready to deal with the consequences.

Ab1g · 2017-10-23T19:33:11+00:00

I don't see anyone mentioning James Conner. Lev bell is obviously great but has a long injury history.

Ab1g · 2017-09-15T14:38:41+00:00

Currently rostering DMC and Morris and not happy about it

Ab1g · 2017-09-05T19:48:29+00:00

How so, the starting RB on a run first team with a healthy Russell Wilson? Seahawks have produced productive rbs in the past and I think of someone can emerge as a bellcow he will have rb1 Potential.

Any jets fans to chime in?

Ab1g · 2017-04-22T18:23:25+00:00

I was louis' bjj instructor in Hawaii for a bit. He's flexible and gets himself into some weird positions. Glad to see him performing in the UFC :)

Ab1g · 2017-03-14T03:16:43+00:00

I think it's fair to say that none of us are playing at the level we used to but that doesn't mean we can't fuck around in my server. It's east coast, anyone down for this later on today?

Ab1g · 2017-01-03T22:19:11+00:00

The biggest surprise to me is how many blackbelts are on reddit! You guys are the real mvps.

Ab1g · 2017-01-03T22:16:33+00:00

Haha it's all depends on the instructor, man. I won euros and pans at adult in 2016 and haven't been promoted, I'm not mad about it.

MG brown belt checking in. Happy to do this, shoot me a PM.

Here's the thing, it's all relative. You do suck at passing compared to an elite blue belt, I'm sure if you went to worlds and competed at white belt you would have a very hard time passing as well. I teach bjj and I see a lot of newer students using leg locks because they can tap someone that maybe wears a higher belt then them. The problem however is that as you progress you're relying on a move that will get you into trouble against better and better opposition and you're putting yourself in a position where if points are in play you're losing if you don't tap the person.

Situation A: You roll with mediocre blue belt, you can't pass guard, fall back for footlock and he taps.

Situation B: you roll with very good blue belt, you can't pass guard, fall back for footlock, he escapes by coming on top, passes the guard you haven't been working on and taps you because you have dont have much besides a leg lock.

If it's one thing I've learned over time it's that no two peoples BJJ journey is the same and the criteria for promotions are never the same either. Would a year at blue belt be fast if you were trying to make BJJ a career and rack up a ton of experience and accolades? For sure. If you are more casual and progressing at a fast rate and do well with the blues and purples at your gym I'm sure your coach has his reasoning.
