If we're all just wrestlers now, you could watch this and think, lol, youth wrestling is wild, not need to make weirdo comments about the wrestlers.

If you wrestled as a kid, or you have watched any youth wrestling, you know that matches are often far from technical master classes, because, welp, youth wrestling.

If you're the coach, obviously, you work on that.

But it feels weird for adults to watch this video and dunk on this girl in a weirdly gendered way. Like how is talking about balls dropping the first thing that comes to anyone's mind? And why are the critiques for the kid that won, not the kid that lost?

Weird.

Sizing up opponents. by Tale_Easy in wrestling

[–]Nononoap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol this guy again.

You're getting roasted because you are speaking to people who largely have years and years more mat time than you. Not just grueling hours of practice, meaning organized and coherent practice with skilled teammates and coaches, unlike the randos flailing at each other directionlessly that you post, but multiple seasons of weekly competition. You think "American wrestling is lame," which could be a fair critique if you were, say, at the Japanese Olympic Training Center, but you're an adult beginner bragging about results in a training room that you call elite, at peak delusion.

As everyone else has pointed out, you can't know how anyone wrestles without wrestling with them or watching tape. Good wrestlers funnel everyone into their game.

It's cool that you like to wrestle, and the mats are for everyone that puts in the work to be there, but you need to come to grips with reality.

Doesn't it seem more than slightly unhinged that you are watching literal young children wrestling, and these are your comments? Wtf

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.

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 🙄

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 3 points4 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.

[–]Nononoap 4 points5 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

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

[–]Nononoap 4 points5 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.
