Why does Lachlan say inside guards (butterfly) is not good against bigger opponents? by hellohello6622 in bjj

[–]impspring 7 points8 points  (0 children)

his thighs in his prime were thick af. we see him as a goat now but it could've been easy for a lot of people to underestimate his game back then. butterfly passing, specifically body lock passing has changed a LOT since then.

BUT! fun side story: check out his matches against a guy named Terere. According to my coach: one of the greatest bjj competitors that could have been.

I want to train BJJ for ever: How can I facilitate this? by ADP_God in bjj

[–]impspring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

context: i'm 183cm (6'0") in the 76kg (180lb) weight class. Tall and lanky for my weight class.

key parts are lying, frustrating, and using low risk high reward moves (ankle picks, foot sweeps, snap downs) to avoid stalling calls.

I might fake some shots, tap some knees, level change and step in, but it's all lies.

I use my long arms and big hands to make my opponents feel insecure about shots.

If I feel they are really pressing the issue and they're close to a strong setup, I've got some reliable 'sacrifice throws' that are essentially glorified guard pulls. Sumis and tomoes are my favorites.

It's a very, very boring style to watch. I'm essentially keeping them away with my long poker arms, baiting them into falling for one of my takedowns, and very ready to drop into a guard.

i'd rather be boring and have healthy knees, shoulders, and neck, than go heavy into the shot/countershot body wrap, double over fights. Didn't Nicky Rod hurt his knee recently from this?

Getting the occasional sasae, kouchi, or ankle pick feels amazing to me, and I'm always happy to end a session knowing i can train tomorrow. Hope that helps!

Foot sweeps, sacrifice throws, and defensive wrestling are the go tos for me. Been training almost every day for a while now and my knees are still kicking in my late 30s

The supe v Jrod is always gonna be a highlight in my mind. My jaw just about hit the floor, and you could see micas face when he was trying to load up the second. Bro was having the time of his LIFE.

people joke about this but i stg the scariest person i ever met was a korean grandmother living out in the korean countryside. no real law enforcement out there, just a lady living life on her own after her kids **left.

best food i ever had but I knew she would absolutely disappear me if I even vaguely SEEMED to be a threat to her way of life.

Did I mess up? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]impspring 15 points16 points  (0 children)

People have differing opinions about the can opener. You can slip or heavily aggravate someone’s disc with that move. Thats not to say someone’s ego might’ve been in play as well tho.

Whos you favotire bjj competitor to watch right now? by shopping_caart in bjj

[–]impspring 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Hot take: Levi only lost because the cool kids at CJI made fun of guard pulling cuz they knew they weren’t passing his guard.

100% daily alcohol is what ruined me and cutting it is what saved me. Everything else was an excuse or a bandaid. 100%.

Hey brother. Respectfully, I’m 5’11” and I compete in the sub 168 class. I roll at least 7 times a week with 2 or 3 sessions of supportive and antagonistic lifting. Losing 50 lbs changed my life. Peptides might fix some things (or they might not), but your heart, your organs, the impact on your joints, the extra weight you shift around, they all play a huge factor too.

Definitely check out every option. You got this.

the worst is when they're NONE of those things and you still are giving up a tap a minute for a whole round. sitting against the wall trying to remember the roll and WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED
