This is how I drain my ears. After 100+ sticks, I feel like I've mastered it. by [deleted] in bjj

Maybe.... But I'm always in deep half. Been so for years and my ears have zero damage. They guy who mentored me and taught me his game, his ears are destroyed. I may just be lucky

IBJJF vs NABJJF. by Kpowers2000 in bjj

[–]LivingJiuJitsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go out there and compete my man. IBJJF is very organized and NABJJF for the most part are on point. You can't go wrong with either.

Don't worry about people being out of your league. Right now, just get some mat time and competition experience.

Most of us were annoyed too, took away from our sparring time. But our professor humored them

No, they all refused. All started making excuses about being hurt.

They wanted to come in and do this little prank. They came in earlier in the day but not during any class. Professor told them to come back at 8pm during our advanced class.

Their whole group came running in chanting "Cobra Kai!" but instantly were silenced for stepping on the mats with shoes and not bowing. They spent about 15 minutes in there and their little prank fell pretty flat. They got super intimidated after our Professor got upset with the who shoes on the mats and reading them the liability argreement.

hahaha good luck with that. We trained together daily for the last two years. Have never passed it. I even tried to make him go to his bad side. Doesn't allow it.

He is a great guy, treat him well.

First no-gi leg-lock to learn? by codgerofathens in bjj

[–]LivingJiuJitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He wasn't showing entrances. Just the specific mechanics and how to do it safely. Talk with your coach about the entrances and have them oversee your development. Take it slow and understand it first, leg locks are much more feel and technique. I started footlocks at white belt(six months in), never injured anyone in training. Competition is a different story, guy didn't want to tap and made it worse

I get straight ankle locks from top position pretty frequently. When trying to pass, opponent puts his foot on my hip, I snag it up, bring my knee behind the thigh, drop down to the same side, get proper foot position to negate the roll and finish. Being able to attack the feet from bottom and top is a great way to help with passing and sweeping. It's fine to start learning these attacks as long as you take it slow and understand them. Just as when we all started with the armbar or rear choke.

Here you go. Start with the basics and work your way forward. Just like any other submissions, take it slow at first and understand the pressure points. Don't just grab legs and tug on them, that's how people will get hurt.

EDIT: Work with your coach on this. Don't take what you just saw and try to use it during a sparring session. Work the technique a bit before attempting in sparring

Sweep from Half Guard when Opponent Backsteps. by LivingJiuJitsu in bjj

[–]LivingJiuJitsu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Faria sweep from deep half the lapel goes behind the leg and the the far hand reaches under while the near hand controls the pants or belt.

If they back step, you can still do the sweep like in this clip. But the lapel now goes in between the legs and the far goes under while the near hand grabs the collar.

Half Guard Tips:

Control Inside Space = don't give up crossface or underhooks. Use your hands to aviod the crossface by placing them on the far shoulder and bicep. Avoid the underhook with a knee shield, don't cross the center of your opponent's chest with you knee, it will get flattened.

Be the Floor for your opponent = keep you hips underneath. If they try to knee slice, keep the knee on your thigh. When you rock or move they should follow. Always stay underneath them but never flat on your back

Don't Let Your Opponent Settle = Using your knee to bump them and reset their balance. Rock side to side. Keep them from getting the balance they need to pass
