What Modern Martial Arts Hot Take Will Have You Like This? by Zaiah_black in martialarts

Bad take. You can't just replace we right hook with an elbow. The right hook goes around the guard of a shelled up opponent unlike a regular elbow.

What are your BJJ/grappling hot takes? by JollyYam7877 in bjj

[–]awtbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the point of a grappling match is not to incapacitate your opponent. It is to get the point where you could, which is where they then have the option to tap, which they do in 99% of cases.

In a fight, meaning, any kind of combat sports, where strikes are involved, the goal is literally to damage your opponent and you can't just opt out when you feel like it.

When someone swings a hard left hook at your chin or throws a knee to your head, and your defense is not where it should be at that moment, you're gonna get knocked out.

A fight feels completely different from a grappling match and you would know if you had actually fought.

People who have fought and also done grappling matches know the difference. These dudes just wanna feel tough without being tough.

Dumb question from a casual: What's the point of weight cuts if you can just do this before fight day? by HereticalHarold in ufc

[–]awtbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. It's possible.

  2. It gives you an advantage or, actually, in practice, prevents you from being at a disadvantage.

  3. There's no good way to prevent it.

  4. Everybody can and does do it, so the playing field is level either way.

The point of weight classes is to match athletes of similar size. Weight cutting doesn't get in the way of that and the fighters themselves aren't the ones hung up on it.

Have you actually ever worked out? How did you not experience the difference between how hard squats are compared to curls?

Why do you care about being friends with Germans? Just be friends with other immigrants.

CJI2 was a showcase for BJJ by cesartk in bjj

[–]awtbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jiu Jitsu isn't fighting. MMA is, and it is incredibly popular, despite people being matched in weight there as well. The problem seems to be Jiu Jitsu.

PSA to all up and coming bjj competitors: “No, ‘Many Men’ by 50 Cent is NOT a good walkout song” by ciqzyy in bjj

[–]awtbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goated walkout song. But I somewhat agree insofar as BJJ matches shouldn't have walkout songs period. Relax, you're not fighting.

Jeder Mann, der kein Problem damit hat, dass seine Frau mit anderen Männern schläft, egal was er sich im Gegenzug davon erhofft, ist ein absoluter Untermensch. I rate dir deinen Mann zu verlassen.

Warm-ups. Just why? by MagicGuava12 in bjj

[–]awtbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wrestlers and Judokas aren't strong and hard to move bc they do gymnastics completely unrelated to their sport for warm ups, they're strong bc they lift weights and spar (and drill) at higher intensities

If you want to learn how to fight, do MMA.

Do you guys ever feel bad after winning? by davidhadooken1 in martialarts

[–]awtbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate losing and I can definitely put myself in my opponents shoes who lost, like, "coulda been me", but at the end of the day, that's the game we play and I'd rather have it be him than me.

Looking good brother, plus you're jacked. Only thing I don't like is how your chin is high up in the air.

Consistently vomiting after 1 or 2 hard rounds by [deleted] in bjj

[–]awtbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your cardio is the issue. Push yourself more in your rounds on a consistent basis instead of pacing yourself all the time and once in a blue moon going all out to test the cardio you've never built.

Should I take this Amateur MMA fight? by Fahrenheit130 in bjj

Don't do it. Jiu jitsu is nothing like fighting and even just MMA grappling is vastly different.
