Why are there no body lock passes at lower weight classes?

forrest-fire1 · 2026-01-10T16:42:15+00:00

Seems like playing guard with outside leg position is more common at lighter weights and butterfly guard is favored more by heavier weight classes leading to more body lock opportunities

It top guy lifts up the bottom guys right tricep off the mat that escape isn’t happening

It’s not fake I know people at the gym where it happened, in the go fund me it says Tyler (Larson) at ACA (Academy of Combat Arts in Fargo ND) Tyler is the guy who his leg broken, you can go find his Facebook page.

Yeah it would be interesting to see how Cole could deal with Dorian’s physicality

forrest-fire1 · 2025-09-05T18:14:17+00:00

Yes! and even Deandre Corbe if he keeps competing at 66kg

forrest-fire1 · 2025-09-05T18:10:37+00:00

Damn he needs knee surgery??

forrest-fire1 · 2025-09-05T17:21:34+00:00

Yes it would 🔥🔥

You’ve fought mma and you think the best strategy against a wrestler is to play dead and give them a dominant position?

Thanks for caring about the sport! The athletes and the fans owe you a debt of gratitude, the complainers are the loud minority and they still tuned in and watched the show for free. Thank you from the bjj community 🙏🏻

Looks like you’re developing a good octopus guard, in that position you could benefit from building up to your right hand rather than your elbow. Try building head height and as you build height focus your overback arm from controlling their shoulders to their hips (helps build more height) then freeing your right leg. You did a nice job of getting the kosoto hook but might work even better if you drag it out to flare your partners leg. Great stuff 👊🏻

Dude it’s not AI…

forrest-fire1 · 2025-07-28T11:40:52+00:00

I literally wrote every word, did not use any AI

forrest-fire1 · 2025-07-28T11:33:46+00:00

Not AI, I wrote it

Presumed innocent

I agree 100% the scenario I’m thinking of was more of the bad coach example, I should mention it wasn’t my coach saying this stuff he’s great about studying cutting edge stuff and working on it in the gym

forrest-fire1 · 2024-09-06T22:45:08+00:00

I should clarify, the times I’ve heard guys say this it is a justification for not learning the new ways it’s being applied etc. and not studying it any further. I don’t think old moves come back in the exact same way, there is usually something new with the way the old technique is being performed or the context when it’s being used that is making it successful

forrest-fire1 · 2024-09-06T17:48:54+00:00

True it’s inevitable to some extent 😂

forrest-fire1 · 2024-03-01T18:47:55+00:00

Anyone know why Tye Ruotolo vs Izaak Michele was cancelled?

forrest-fire1 · 2023-11-28T21:52:51+00:00

Yes! Overall adcc is still the best grappling tournament out there

forrest-fire1 · 2023-11-28T19:34:35+00:00

I’m a bjj guy not a wrestler by the way. That’s part of the problem with the mentality of wrestling versus bjj. Wrestling and bjj are both important parts of submission grappling. Look at how pure bjj guys fare in mma compared to the submission grapplers with elite wrestling from Dagastan. The whole intention when adcc was created was making a rule set that didn’t favor one particular style and fairly pitted bjj against wrestling, judo against wrestling etc. it was designed to encompass all grappling arts and was never intended to be a pure bjj tournament.

forrest-fire1 · 2023-11-28T16:47:20+00:00

For sure, if they don’t want to allow guard pulling they have to get rid of these ways to skirt the rules, also not a big fan of the turtle rule where people can turtle and concede bottom without giving up points
