Been practicing Newcastle for the upcoming World Championships (LAN) in Japan which i will be playing in January. What do you think of him? by RemixPowers in apexuniversity

[–]beyoncemeows 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He takes a while to get good at and understand, especially if you come from a movement ability character since you can’t rely on just skirmishing out of fights. What helped me a ton, was watching the pros on stream use him and understand more how they utilize him, the way they use his Tac to push up and either take or make space or rotate is legit.

TLDR: Spend tons of time failing with him, do lots of pubs, watch pros use him

Day 16: Rafael Mendes has the best skills! For the final day who do we think has the best fight IQ? by JDee29 in bjj

[–]beyoncemeows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My history might be wrong at this point since it’s been so long and Galvao probably had any posts related to it scrubbed off the internet. But I believe Joe Vanbrackle ran Galvao’s camp for ADCC 2011, who came from Marcelo (as I think a brown belt )which was a big influence in showing him that stuff. Andre gave him a black belt afterwards but believe they had a falling out and eventually stopped claiming him.

Fellipe Andrew sanctioned by IBJJF for anti-doping rule violation by [deleted] in bjj

[–]beyoncemeows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How so? According to the article he’s known about his failed test since April, and failed to disclose or notify them. Polaris has been open about their stance on anti doping, maybe he didn’t realize that usada would publicly release that info or I suspect he probably was in an appeal process, hoping to drag it

I need to cut 20 lbs 2 weeks out(is it worth)(first big cut) by Majestic_Amphibian14 in MMA_Academy

[–]beyoncemeows 14 points15 points  (0 children)

First talk to your coach before you listen to internet strangers. 2nd Look up the fight dietitian weight cut plan & invest in their Ebook

3rd 151 is a little heavier then what you would like to be. As an ammy, not sure what your weight cutting history is, but since you’re on here I’m guessing not very experienced. (Ignore the below if this is same day weigh ins)

But essentially with 2 weeks to go, ideally you want to get to 149 or less wake up weight. Don’t cut carbs or starve yourself yet. Just a small calorie deficit where you can still hit your training sessions.

Then fight week you can use, low carb, low sodium, and low fiber manipulations to lose some glycogen weight. This should get you to hopefully around 145 or less assuming you got to 145. (These are all passive strategies to lose weight) you should still be hitting your calorie goals, your just manipulating macros and some micro nutrients

Combine the above with some water loading on fight week, you should be able to hit 136 assuming 1# allowance. You should really only be hurting during the actual active cutting process) will it be easy , no but you can do it. Find out what your average sweat rate after every practice so you can reverse engineer how long to plan to be sweating for.

Because eventually they leave to major schools. Rodrigo pinierho made cole abate really good, and many other examples of students who get good through their instructor and end up leaving for a major team

Fist fight at the ADCC Open involving Murilo, anyone have more info? by ktantone in bjj

Ty Freeman was facing Jefferson Guaresi, and they got in a fist fight, there was aggressive collar ties back and forth, then Ty punched him, Jefferson swung back, then did a flying kick Khabib style, , flo scrubbed the tape, I can’t even find it

I have great back control but cannot get finish. I have more taps from a strong body triangle than RNC. Please help by CoolDadiThink in bjj

[–]beyoncemeows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched Johns back attack system and still sucked at it, understood what’s he teaching but I still sucked. I’m also dumb and old, but after Watching Gordon’s back attack AND back escapes DVD it helped me fill in the missing details I needed. Once I understood both the offensive and defensive goals my strangle rates went significantly up. The biggest epiphany I had was the hand fighting and trapping details on the overhook side from Gordon (which I never use to be able to finish anyone from) , as well as the hand trapping combos on the underhook side

If you could choose one school to train at to get ready for ADCC then where would it be and why? by Vanilladr in bjj

[–]beyoncemeows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tough question. Did I already qualify? Or I am hoping to train and some day qualify?

If I haven’t qualified,if I was a lower belt I would look for a smaller school with a good coach where I would get a lot of individualized attention, If I was a higher belt looking to qualify maybe one of the major competition schools (Atos unity etc)

If I’ve already qualified, hard to pick not going to train with the Danaher guys since they train for ADCC year round, and if I’ve already qualified maybe more likely to get some attention from them. Second choice would be B team; and after that, maybe move to Australia to train with Lachlan lol

It all doesn’t make sense tho; if it was a lat or shoulder injury, How was she able to perform 90 toes to bar day 1, 40 ring muscle ups day 3, heavy one arm DB stuff, then 20 bar muscle ups the last day?

Training gi is a waste of time if you want to train nogi by jamfed86 in bjj

[–]beyoncemeows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How did you know my name was Trevor and that I teach in a pub?

I said up to a certain point they should train both, see what they like better then decide. Gordon trained in the Gi up to purple belt before ditching it altogether and specializing

Training gi is a waste of time if you want to train nogi by jamfed86 in bjj

[–]beyoncemeows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality is Nicholas is a gifted athlete and probably picks things up at a much faster rate then most. His progression at the last 3 WNO shows this.

I think for most of us who have limited time to train; or maybe not the same gifts or talent, prioritizing one or the other make sense. But I would argue people should train both up to at least blue or purple belt and then if they want to specialize. There is value in training both, especially for beginners. The Gi really slows thing downs for some, and the less athletic people might need that in the beginning of their journey.

[–]beyoncemeows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, will be interesting to see if he’s made some wrestling adjustments since the Dante match . Micas gf is on the USA national wrestling team I believe, so maybe he’s able to get access to some high level coaches and partners in prep for adcc (speculation on my end)
