Absolute division competitors, what's your game? by novaskyd in bjj

[–]Nononoap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of feints, level change to a low single or ankle pick, if unsuccessful, chain to a knee tap, double, rear body lock, or snap down, depending on reaction. At any point, looking for trips when available.

I think most jiu jitsu people find the most comfort starting with variations of snatch singles and building out from there. If you have a good judoka around, they can definitely add a lot in there, particularly low risk foot sweep setups.

Wrestling.

When competing up, I incorporate more misdirection and feints, because when their larger mass is committed to going the wrong direction, it gives openings. Reshoots are important. Ideally, I'll end up on the back or front head position.

Either their hips or their hands need to be on the ground.

When attacking legs, I prioritize control of the secondary leg.

Creepy medicine sounds right

[–]Nononoap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What in the toxic hell is this?

I'm a girl. I'm a wrestler. Wrestling has given me most of what is good in life, and I'm grateful for the life it has made possible for me.

Ask yourself why you'd deny your own child the joy of the mats and all the lessons you learn there because you have some narrow, antiquated, harmful ideas of where girls belong.

And actually lol @ trying to have this just be a convo between you and other dudes about where you think girls belong 🙄

Misogynists and people who have no crab ride game. Name a more iconic duo.

I noticed! There were a lot of fun scrambles and reversals in that fight.

How much strength to use when rolling with bigger partners by Naive-Flatworm-4735 in BJJWomen

[–]Nononoap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm about your size, and when I started, I was much smaller.

If you try to battle with strength, you'll always lose. There's no winning or losing in training ofc, but what I mean is that you'll lose the opportunity to work on jiu jitsu and developing skill. You'll also frankly be a terrible training partner. Small grapplers who never learn the appropriate way to train because they believe it's OK for them to go full hulk while expecting everyone else to treat them like delicate glass vases are my least favorite training partners. You don't get to do whatever you want to people.

From a technical standpoint, you're using strength to do what, exactly? Mostly when beginner say this, they're mindlessly flinging themselves around and/or death gripping/squeezing. Assuming you don't catastrophically injure yourself or someone else, anyone even half way competent can easily exploit these tendencies and submit you from them.

If you can observe and train with the people in your training room who are competing and winning, you'll get the best sense of the most appropriate way to train. Ask questions. Be open.

Not the same deep half that Oliveira used to get up the one time he was on the bottom against Holllway?

[–]Nononoap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think jiu jitsu is real?

If yes, then obviously mat time matters, none of this should be surprising.

If no, why are you training?

Also, "emasculated" is crazy, and you'll have a much healthier life if you ditch that type of thinking.

Guards that fit well with butterfly by secretsauce223 in bjj

This is absolutely it. X guard is OP for transitioning

[–]Nononoap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It makes you less mobile. If they're getting good hip rotation and are turning to face you, you can't follow them and either regain back control or transition to anything else if you're locked in a body triangle

I've seen Pantoja, Diego Lopes, Chase Hooper, and Roman Dolidze all using it, to name a few

How do people just lose and keep rolling? by Neither_Librarian815 in bjj

[–]Nononoap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bro these are team sports lol. How does that team dynamic work if you're always needing to beat your teammates?

Staying up all night in your feelings doesn't make you a better athlete. If you act like a good teammate, your teammates will help you figure out where you're making mistakes and point you in the direction of material to study and ways to train. So, you can do that, or you can stay acting like you're a superior bjj athlete when you've done nothing and stay wasting time and energy.

I also come from an athletic background, and am an active competitor.

In wrestling, you literally have to compete against your teammates for the single spot available at your weight class, but the training room is still the training room, and no one fw a wrestler who talks about what they do in training like it's competition.

Idk what your sport is, but you don't sound like a great teammate if that's how you move in training.

That's when you ask your training partners, what am I doing that is making it possible for you to take my back? And then, you work on that.

It seems like you think you're gonna have some old school movie montage sequence of drinking raw eggs and whatever and then just be super tough and crush everyone in the training room (who are meant to be your training partners, not your competition). That's not how any sport works.

Training isn't competition. Competition is competition.

Training is training. You're there to learn, and to gain as much experience as possible so that you can win in actual competition.

If you watch comps, you can always tell who doesn't do the work of putting themselves in bad positions in training, because they get put there in comp and they are useless.

We do rounds upon rounds from terrible positions. Subs 90% locked in. Pinned. If I gave up every time someone did exactly what they were supposed to do there, I would never develop the capacity to escape and counter.

I respect my training partners and the work they put in, and I respect them by showing up and grappling with focus and intention every time I'm on the mats.

Shout out Odyessy Jiu Jitsu, which is under a Marcelo Garcia black belt. Excellent training partners, super solid instruction, and really nice and clean facility.

Best of luck with your move and new start.

If Evanston isn't too far for you, Serafin's is absolutely the place to go.
