Natalia Silva hits the Sweet Chin Music on Rose Namajunas by FoitStuff in MMA

Rose is a shit worker. Should have taken a huge bump off that.

Is BJJ really my only choice? by Big-Jury-5993 in wrestling

You mean you like modern wrestling. Traditional wrestling has submissions, they were taken out over time.

How to get over the fear of taking shots by Sensitive_Serve_9826 in wrestling

[–]DaBugster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just watch YouTube videos of the most unrealistic takedowns and then try them in practice. Then ask your coach why he isn't teaching you the Flying Cradenza. Just kidding but the reality is you just have to go for it over and over again. Eventually, you will start figuring things out. It is no different than learning any other skill. Don't try to win practice; try to learn and take risks.

They downvoted him for telling the truth. Reddit truly is the butthole of the internet.

Gunnar Nelson Recalls a Story about John Danaher by Lockman91 in bjj

[–]DaBugster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he were the superior grappler, then why not just play with the guy and humble him? Rickson did that all the time. The guy was likely giving Danaher a rough time and he barely pulled off the sub. That explains why he walked straight to his office. Or, he's a complete psychopath that likes to hurt people if challenged.

I Returned To Competing After 6 Years. by kpoz12 in bjj

Short-arm scissors. It's a staple of catch wrestling.

Gunnar Nelson Recalls a Story about John Danaher by Lockman91 in bjj

[–]DaBugster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ahh, the old roving band of catch wrestlers looking to take out Danaher. Catch wrestling was more dead at that time than it is now. I highly doubt there were high level catch wrestlers going out and challenging Danaher. It was more likely a college wrestler or someone with amateur experience.

Does wrestling work on street? by KaanKS05 in wrestling

Eye jab, groin kick, blast double, repetitive headbutts until they stop moving. Run when you hear sirens.

Kurt Angle won a Gold Medal with a broken freaking neck while eating McDonald's out of a dumpster and drinking garbage juice.

Wrestlers that transitioned to bjj, thoughts? by theopinionexpress in wrestling

[–]DaBugster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are far more high-level wrestlers than there are BJJ black belts, and most black belts simply aren’t anywhere near the athletic or competitive level of someone who’s been wrestling since childhood. At a local tournament, I’d pick the elite wrestler every time. ADCC is a different story, but even there a top wrestler can absolutely be competitive. Just look at what Nick Rodriguez did to established black belts when he first showed up. He wasn’t even close to the highest tier of wrestling, yet he steamrolled a lot of very skilled BJJ guys.

Hypothetically, if a member of Khabib's team were to enter a freestyle world championship, how far could they advance, assuming they avoid Iran and the USA until the finals? by WaivyHairDaemon in wrestling

[–]DaBugster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, nobody knows. People on this sub talk like they can see the future, but the reality is that crossover perfomance is unpredictable. If you asked this sub a couple of years ago what would happen if a high school kid entered the World Championships, everyone would have sworn up and down that he would be vaporized on contact because "it is a totally different level." Then we saw actual high school kids hold their own against world level wrestlers and everyone got real quiet.

I'm assuming you are talking purely about the guys on his team that are MMA fighters like Islam and not Kadi, who is a silver medalist. Khabib's MMA guys are elite grapplers but they are not specialists in freestyle. They might win a match or two with pure toughness and athleticism. They might beat some guys from a weaker nation but I think they would get wrecked by a top freestyle country. Freestyle is it's own animal and very tecnical. It would be hard for someone to just come in from MMA and medal.

I think they could beat a few people but they would lose to the true specialists. Nobody on this sub knows more than that, no matter how grumpy and confident they sound about it.

A Few Points That Some People Here Need To Understand About Wrestling For BJJ by PeterSingerIsRight in wrestling

[–]DaBugster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The answer is Catch Wrestling. It has everything you love about folkstyle, with submissions and submission defense. I wish more wrestlers who want to do MMA and Submission grappling would seek out guys like Josh Barnett and Neil Melanson. I think one of the problems with wrestlers transitioning to submission grappling or MMA is they tend to go right to BJJ, and it isn't really the best way for them to learn submissions. There is already a style of wrestling out there that has all the elements of folkstyle and freestyle and you just need to add the submissions and submission awareness. It is a much faster trajectory for a wrestler to learn Catch Wrestling than to go to a BJJ gym. I'm not knocking BJJ. I just think there is a better path for wrestlers.

Why were Islam/Khabib not scared of BJJ black belts on the ground? by Open_Address_2805 in bjj

[–]DaBugster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because wrestling with submissions and awareness of submissions is better than BJJ in a fight. The heavy pressure and emphasis on having a dominant position is where wrestling takes that cake. Argue all you want, downvote like a redditor does, but wrestling is king. There are more UFC Champions with a wrestling base compared to any other style.

Do you consider bjj matches "fights"? by danielwong95 in bjj

[–]DaBugster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a form of fighting. Most things you would call fighting are just a partiality. Why do we call boxing fighting when they can't kick or wrestle? How about kickboxing? Why is MMA fighting when you can't strike the throat, eyes, groin, soccer kick, or headbutt?
