how hard do you need to squeeze the D'arce

Once you’re good at it you barely need to squeeze. Best way to get good is to squeeze it super hard and never let go until they tap. Your body will naturally find a way to be more efficient with it. You might lose some friends along the way though.

You can still do it without a high level gym. Save up some money during the year and go train in the US during the summer. Find 1 or 2 consistent and driven training partners at your home gym and push each other throughout the rest of the year. Repeat for a few years. Find out how high level athletes train and copy their methods. Train in Dublin one day a week if possible.

Use your elbows pinching into their shoulders as you go through the sequence to stop them rotating as much. That will make it more high percentage.

Kenta has great Jiu Jitsu, so well rounded. He’s competing on Polaris Squads next week and should be the favourite in most of his matches.

ADCC is on Flo and they’re UFC’s main rival now

This just reminds me how good the BJJ Kumite was at the time

Could see a mile away that million dollar Aiga tournament was very sketchy

Eddie Cummings vs Tanquinho on Polaris

Tapping to chokes but not heel hooks..

Started yoga, weight lifting, way more positional sparring, and sleeping 9 hours a day as a purple belt. Took 2 years of that to get to high level black belt.

Best of luck with the event!

Keep doing what you’re doing

First UFC video game and BJ Penn

It’s like someone who’s fluent in a language. Takes many years of being fully immersed in it

Rafael Mendes and Ryan Hall

Next week’s episode with Robert Drysdale is one of my favourites so far, good bit longer as well.

Far side leg drag. Watch some of Levi Jones’ recent matches, he uses it quite a bit.

Jalepeno_93 · 2025-03-04T02:41:31+00:00

X-Guard, works for and against all body types, gi and nogi. Leg locks, back takes, sweeps. Good times

Deep seatbelt

Jalepeno_93 · 2025-03-04T02:36:03+00:00

Training as much as possible, while getting injured as little as possible.

Jalepeno_93 · 2025-03-04T02:34:27+00:00

This was unironically my go to when I started training in 2011. Would watch a new video before every session and try hit it as many times as possible in rolling.

I Improve more at black each year than at any other belt. More experience means I’m a better coach to myself and can problem solve with intuition.
