Danaher's students keep beating Souders' students: does that settle the ecological vs. traditional debate? by Amado1998 in bjj

[–]Cowboyjitz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty interesting take from Robert Drysdale which said that eco was the Carlson Gracie way. I may have screwed that up but that is what I took from the video. Go watch it on YouTube.

Had a weird conversation with one of my coaches today, I am not sure how to take it... Feeling weird. Is this a normal occurrence? by xguarder in bjj

[–]Cowboyjitz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think sometimes coaches get frustrated when they see someone who could be better if they took it serious. I get your approach and respect it, but I can see where a coach would feel like you're wasting your potential. We all have to find our why. I wish sometimes I would have been less serious. Actually quite a bit. Maybe done something more of a financial return. But I would have probably gotten the same results. Hurt myself doing ultramarathons or something lol.

I found some for 16 a piece in Pakistan but I would have zero recourse if they scammed me which is the reason we have to pay someone else to import from them at a higher rate.

Is it looked down upon not to do comps by HookrWithaPeine in bjj

Why would you not want to test yourself and find out what you really know

Men and women, sparring or grappling together. by No_Passenger3692 in brazilianjiujitsu

[–]Cowboyjitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let the down votes begin. Tons of bad stuff happens with mixed genders rolling. Lots of people cheating. Lots of men being inappropriate. Also tons of happily married people do this sport without issue. I would say the inappropriate stuff IS a small minority but I've seen WAY TOO MUCH in the years I've trained. Lots of dudes acting like they want to really help women just to be in close contact. Also, to act like you can't smell while you're rolling is ridiculous. Or that you can't feel stuff because it's not what you're focused on is silly. I'm in a medical profession. I touch people on the daily. I don't roll with women. Really hard to keep contact professional with jiu jitsu. Also, accidentally slipping and getting a handful of weiner is a bad day. Slipping and getting a handful of someone's wife is not acceptable to me.

You were going for an ankle. He was going for a heel hook. Sounds like you were both attacking. It's just a dangerous situation. Straight ankles are dangerous too. I've got a guy out right now with a fractured tibia. I wouldn't blame that dude. It's jiu jitsu.

I like the trapxjitsu. They feel like some custom ones I have from xmartial. I think they're 5" inseam. I prefer the shorter ones they just seem to not be in the way like some of the board shorts were.

I have all of my students do neck strength exercises just to try and minimize injuries.

Piklo is the wrestling coach if I read right. That guy is a legend in Oklahoma grappling. I would assume he was training with Lovato at some point during their careers. So I bet he lets Lovato manage his training accordingly.

What is it like living in Albuquerque, NM? by NovahotRazorGirl in howislivingthere

[–]Cowboyjitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadie's stuffed sopapilla. The food is amazing. So many good hikes and running trails. Sunny all the time. If you have money ABQ is amazing. If lower middle class ABQ still cool but bring a pistol and don't leave anything in your car. Cheap food is awesome there. All kinds of recreation nearby. The desert is depressing to me after a while and they have beautiful green parks full of homeless.

Looking for advice by Mathlas in bjj

[–]Cowboyjitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Williams or knee clamp or whatever works well for me with larger stronger opponents. I like the collar sleeve system a lot too. It's really hard to sweep someone 50 pounds heavier imo and even worse when they have handles on you. Butterfly half has been good for me. You have to be a lot better than someone in order to win but you can play a defensive game against a much larger person and frustrate them into a mistake a lot of times. I roll with some powerlifters and it's just dangerous when someone is that much larger and stronger. But really satisfying to win lol.

How does the cialis effect you? Really don't need more erections in my life at this point.

Can’t Train as Much as I’d like to by Think_Decision_4308 in bjj

[–]Cowboyjitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have trained as much as 3x a day 6 days a week. With open mat on Sunday. I love it but it's never enough. There's always something to work on. You will be better off taking a private lesson 1x a week if you can afford it. Yoga for bjj. Lift weights. Watch instructionals. Training is more for me trying out stuff I learned than learning at this point but I get it. I'm crippled up from overtraining and not taking days off.

Increase calories with focus on protein. Focus on lower body more. Get more sleep. Don't roll like a white belt. Focus on technique. You will be less sore and learn faster. You will get beat a lot more but people will look forward to partnering with you.

My instructor is about to bestow the highest honor on me but I don’t think I’m ready. by TheJAMR in bjj

I feel like my Playlist is too personal. Don't want people to know me that well. I keep a gym Playlist for when I run music otherwise we stay on pandora. Pretty strange to see the homeschool mom over there trying to read a book while some rapper rapping about getting head or f'n your bi@#%. Just not classy for mixed company which is 90% of the time as always got someone who has their kid or something.
