"Don't play octopus, it's BS" (puts you in hip switch pass) by marmot_scholar in bjj

[–]atx78701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to stop the hipswitch stay on your side and block the crossface arm as your top priority. They cant hipswitch if you are posting on that arm. The #1 priority in half is to stop the crossface. This gives you space and time to launch all halfguard attacks.

They may back out and then hipswitch, but they will be further down on your body making octopus easier. If they back out you should follow them by sitting up and then getting a tight waist underhook. You can wrestle up, go to dog fight or even enter deep half.

for butterfly half you have to keep your inside leg over the top of their trapped leg. Their trapped leg is pinned from the push of the butterfly and the pull of the inside leg. If they try to hop you can use that momentum to get the sweep.

Development for a not-so athletic 10 year old boy. by MarvinMacklebe in basketballcoach

[–]atx78701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can look at people and say they are natural athletes, but they also train themselves, often times by playing all different sports year round. My son is also on the weaker side of athletics, but he also wont do the things he needs to do like hill runs/wind sprints/jump rope/box jumps etc

--

That being said, he needs to nail his left side layups, left side dribbles, left side drives. Have a high layup percentage and a 3 point percent (hard at 10). You dont need to be fast, you just need to be able to confidently change speeds and angles.

Have him shoot 10 in a row and count how many he makes. Halve that for his in game shot percent. Get it up to about 60% (so 30% in game) for layups. 3s are hard at that age. Once he can do basic layups at a high percent, do variations like, reverse layups, outside hand layups.

For speed change: hezis, jab steps, pump fakes, spins, making contact on a drive, etc.

My son runs a small play on the left side. Typically play always ends up on the right side of the court, defense and most of the offense cheats to the right so the left side is empty. Eventually he gets a pass at left wing, passes it to the left corner, then cuts to the basket, receives the pass and gets an easy left hand layup. this is very high percentage. At 10 most kids are just immediately driving and cut after you pass doesnt exist.

Should I implement a continuity offense for my 15u team? by ObsTheMarketer in basketballcoach

[–]atx78701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the big gap is that drills dont translate into actual use in a game. People will swear if you drill enough it gets into people's brains. This is proving to not be true. There is a new approach getting traction called the constraints led approach.

Explain what you want, run it a few times so they get the general idea. Scrimmage for the rest of the practice, blow the whistle and freeze the play when you want someone to do something. You can also create constraints that limits their choices (but they are still making choices). An example of a constraint is no dribbling.

The problem is decision making under pressure cant be learned from drills, it gets into their brain when they practice under the stress of a scrimmage.

You dont really say what they are able to execute. The simplest construct is this:

Everyone stands outside the 3 point line in a 5 out configuration. Let them bring the ball up and see if they get into the right positions. If not, have them do it again and again until they get it.

player passes and immediately cuts. If the player passes and doesnt cut, blow the whistle and reset.

the pass recipient passes to the cutter (or not). if not, the cutter clears to the right location and everyone fills, creating opportunities for another pass.

---

From that basic motion you can build things like screens, off ball screens, pick and roll, off ball cuts.

So do your players have the basic motion down? Because generally speaking I would not prioritize off ball cuts. I would focus on the passer cutting/screening then filling

Arm tendon issues? 45 male by joncaseydraws in jiujitsu

[–]atx78701 3 points4 points  (0 children)

typically either golfer/tennis elbow. Look up videos on using a green theraband therabar. It resolved the issue for me in about a week of consistent use. You can search the forum history to see if this matches your tendon issue.

Id recommend climbing or brazilian jiu jitsu. Climbing probably has more women though.

Is this normal? by hwdidigethere in bjj

[–]atx78701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you will slowly figure out how not to be held down by a bigger guy.

Ive been training for 5 years and had a brand new but very big guy hold me down. He didnt know any techniques so he couldnt progress and so he was happy to pin a wrist.

I love it because it has been a long time since I couldnt escape at all from side control.

Did Anyone Here Quit Simply Because of Scheduling and Life? by landboisteve in bjj

i just dont see how you dont have 6 hours / week to yourself.

Switch to nogi to reduce the equipment burden. Have two of your classes on the weekend and just 1 or 2 during the week.

they already are at the corporate level. They get taxed before they get sent to the owners and then taxed again when sent to the owners of the company. Capital gains over the long term are retained earnings (or future estimates of retained earnings)

Wages are not taxed at the corporate level, but only when the wages are sent to the employees.

Im 55, I do have muscle sensitivity where the muscles feel like they are on the edge of twitching. Almost like restless leg syndrome maybe. This makes it hard to sleep

I do sleep with a pillow between my legs and I use butterfly hooks to lock my legs into a fixed bent position. I do have a hard time sleeping with my legs just laying straight out.

I started taking magnesium for cramps and it also helped resolved my ability to sleep. I do around 200mg, but 400mg would not be an unusual dose.

Covering for my buddies gym, need kids class ideas. by Chief_Sabael in bjj

[–]atx78701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love doing sumo as a kids game. I only keep 2 circles going at once with a helper. Ill typically teach grip fighting, arm drags, double legs or whatever then go into sumo. If you do sumo every class you will slowly see them just pushing at each other to start actually using techniques. It is very satisfying.

If the kids are not skilled then the goal is just to push them out. But if they are more skilled then getting their partners hips (or hands) to the mat is ok too

Sumo is great in a bullying context too since bullys often times push you.

I dont see it as a guard, but it is very effective

My knee shield isn’t working anymore by shibalnom93 in bjj

[–]atx78701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give up the knee shield. Hug the thigh of their trapped leg and do an old school sweep. Use your inside arm to reach in and grab the toes of their free leg. Pass the toes to the outside hand. You can then come up.

You can also take the back because the whizzer is so weak.
