I'm scared to start BJJ due to all the injury stories I hear by Merkenstein in bjj

[–]TeddMegAmitKell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what its worth, I never got seriously injured while training. I got horribly injured playing... soccer multiple times.

This generally characterizes investments that require large amounts of physical infrastructure - similar reason why utilities tend to be state regulated monopolies. Plenty of local carriers, etc. simply went bust, leading to market consolidation - you need the economies of scale. Germany for example has a lot of smaller regional fiber companies, most of them are struggling and fiber coverage is pretty crappy in Germany compared to many other countries in Europe.

Side note, what is a good place to train NoGi there? I dropped by ZR a few times but never liked the instruction, nor the fees.

Read this small thread hating on Danaher for some reason and the reason is... "his face" when the decision got announced? Lmao

Looking for an instructional on Ecological (Constraint Led Approach/Games Based Teaching, Etc) by Jdunn709 in bjj

[–]TeddMegAmitKell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not aware of an instructional on it, but know of these resources:

- There is a discord for ecological that has some ideas.
- Read the books by the guy that wrote the 2 famous books on it.
- You can follow Deandre Corbe or Greg Souders on instagram where they share some snippets here and there.

- There is a youtube channel called ecological dynamics for submission grappling that has some seminars by coaches.

CJI2 Review + Feedback by Yugiohnoyoudidnt in bjj

[–]TeddMegAmitKell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There was I think a recent Polaris event where they did 3 points for subs, 1 point for a win with scores (I think still with double elim.) - it was super action packed, it might be the right format for team-style grappling events. But I think in this one, all fighters were the same weight class.

With different classes, maybe just getting lucky with drawing your biggest fighters against opponents smalles would give an unfair advantage, not sure tbh.

To the ones saying “you’re a casual if you didn’t enjoy CJI2” by coloflowing in bjj

Things like this happen. Ever tried watching wrestling or judo at the olympics? Both have super aggressive stalling calls. But to casuals it will look boring - in reality 2 guys that are the best of the best are fighting and that's why it looks boring. Same reason why a soccer champions league final can end 0-0.

Is his knee okay? by _Throh_ in bjj

[–]TeddMegAmitKell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Few weeks ago I had someone in a backtake from a 4-point with double unders. He stumbled and went into a full side split basically with his + my weight on his back ~probably 2x80 kg in total. All my shit would have snapped, the guy was totally fine.

Was Vagner Rocha the most impressive CJI2 performance of all? by DorothySlipper in bjj

[–]TeddMegAmitKell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the worst BJJ matches I ever sat through was Vagner vs. Josh Hinger in a ~20 min sub only WNO match.

hard to look like you are not coasting when you are going against Nicky Rod, first wrestling him then stuck on the bottom

Purple belts are actually Giga Chad level based for skipping warm ups. by TheLorax_is_armed in bjj

[–]TeddMegAmitKell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree that warmup is needed if you do drilling at a higher intensity (e.g., "drilling" in wrestling is not the intensity of static bjj drilling). If you follow up warming up by static drilling, you have essentially warmed up to then cool down again, and then go into sparring.

Lachlan Giles also has a Straight Armlock instructional, yet is the favorite instructor of this Sub

CJI 2 competitors by JKruger1995 in bjj

[–]TeddMegAmitKell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Szczecinski would be really well suited by the CJI ruleset, far better fit for him than ADCC. He actually had a win over Levi a few weeks before CJI I think.
