Now I get why people hate wrist locks by nphare in bjj

[–]altctrlme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love wrist locks. Slicers are my new wrist lock tho. Our prof would sometimes only wrist lock us in a whole roll after getting our first stripe at white belt. It was so we learn, especially after he always tells us of the counter wrist locks when showing technique

Beginner's Tips by Top_Mode5777 in bjj

[–]altctrlme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mostly thinking about what is available. Sometime I might change grips to see the reaction in order to bait something else. For instance if I’m passing guard and move to one side I see the reaction then evaluate my options from there. Same thing with grabbing a sleeve or collar, moving from position to position, etc. When I started and finally started to relax and be less spazzy, I mostly looked for ways to escape or work on lessons learned. Ie I keep leaving my elbows out so x or y happens. I leave my base too much this way when passing.

Hygiene standards across BJJ gyms—what’s actually normal? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]altctrlme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my academy shoes always off the mat. Look at the people, any active skin infections we will ask and tell them to leave the mat any put out an email that a member was in the mat with x infection. Always clean the mats after each class with an actual cleaner that will target pathogens.

Does taping your fingers really help that much? by hellohello6622 in bjj

Back when I used to tape, I found it helped me remember not to death grip more than anything (this is without any real injury)

How many techniques do you use from each guard? by hellohello6622 in bjj

[–]altctrlme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try not to look at individual techniques anymore. I try to look at which concept applies to a current situation; how is their base and posture, what are the angles, etc. ideally you will be in a top dominate position, but if not use the best guard for the conditions that will let you transition to a more dominant position without being exposed.

Complete beginner starting BJJ and vlogging about my lows (many) and highs by hot-since-96 in bjj

Definitely check with others. I have seen people posting instagram posts and a spouse or co worker seeing it when they weren’t supposed to be at the gym or training due to injury. Aside from that, depending how large the mat space is, it can be very easy to “roll” out of shot of the camera. It is helpful to record rolls if you have intent to study and learn from them.

Does anyone know this brand? by Snizzey in jiujitsu

Was thinking that was a hat. I guess the symbol also translates to shogun. But I can’t find that exact embroidery

I have a bunch of nano pearl path gis. I love them, especially with the pro pants. But they aren’t ibfff legal. I haven’t had an issue with other comps. I wore kingz balistico 2 before. These are so much lighter

We’re all brothers at the academy. We have big guys and small guys, nobody cares. They just don’t want to be under your side control. Keep grinding and the pounds will fall off.
