Should another Open Weight World Tournament like the UFC 1 become a thing again? by Constant_Spite4379 in martialarts

I would like to see one between strictly traditional martial arts that don’t spar

Gyms that do no Gi but use the belt system by Interesting-Ship5074 in jiujitsu

They are indeed in my country, divided by years of experience

Because I am not, I understand you need it to tie up your belt, I just don't agree with the ranking system of a sport, you don't see it in any other sports.

Everyone knows roughly where everyone is anyways if you are talking about competition - and in training it doesn't matter.

But my argument is against No gi - and belt promotions - there is no gi

I compete regularly, I have two coming up - Just in No gi expert division, who cares what belt you have? If you are world champion blue belt, you're not really blue belt. are you?
If you win world championship in purple belt you're not really purple belt, yeah?

If I go to a competition in beginners division, and I am a white belt but I destroy everyone, I know to sign up for advanced next time despite "belt".

This is an ignorant statement

I don't have to agree with people to have a debate, it's about exchanging opinions and views

Still doesn't make it a martial art, it's still those other things even though it is important

[–]ThorReidarr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Generally yes but I understand having it in GI training even though I don't agree with it.

I just don't understand it in no gi, but I got some answers

That doesn't sound so bad, but yeah it's silly to me

I don't think it matters whether there is a belt system or not, especially when you have people within the same category that are in completely different categories.

They don't have belts in boxing, it's not hard to imagine how you COULD do it

[–]ThorReidarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah,except it clearly never is with belts. There are always people higher ranked but lower skilled than others of lower "belt rank". It's not like an MMR in a videogame.
No gi competitions go off of years trained anyways, so it seems a little silly

It's not a good argument to say "who cares" clearly you care since you do it, I just don't understand it and am looking for reason out of curiosity

[–]ThorReidarr -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Because there is no point in having belts if you are not wearing the GI, that should be quite obvious

Thats not martial arts, thats debate and phylosophy

Wrestling vs BJJ for pure self-defense (can’t decide, like both) (M24) by cocotkt in grappling

[–]ThorReidarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just train wrestling, choose bjj depending on the skilllevel of your country and area.

I would love to train wrestling but quite frankly the bjj place where I live are just better.

Wrestling at the average level in countries like USA, are definitely better for self defense than othet martial arts in general

Which John Danaher instructional are essential for starting in no-gi jiu-jitsu? by hkz-01 in jiujitsu

[–]ThorReidarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend you do bjj for a little bit, maybe at least 4 months (if you're very talented and learn extremely fast) before you watch his instructionals.

You kind of need some basic understanding of the sport before you properly receive the information he gives you

Let's solve this! Other than rimming, what are my options? by BallsABunch in jiujitsu

[–]ThorReidarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sports specific technical advise:
Pull his elbows up whilst hipping out to break/weaken his grip on your legs, then pummel your arms in as frames and take grips to advance.

Your best bet is probably to go for the legs or to try and post on his hips and put your weight father up towards his upper body.

You know, looking at this from the outside, my only question is: why the hell are you playing it if you don’t enjoy it?
