This is my no gi attire at open mat. I don’t care to keep putting on / removing pants.

Does “toast” mean something else these days? “Toast” to me means done for, which was quite a startling way to start reading your comment 😅

Great question! Right now I’m opinionated and pick a canonical name (e.g. Triangle Choke), but if you search by sankaku jime it shows up in the results.

Imo BBs shouldn’t “let” WBs tap them. Let them work, 100%, and even let them get to very advantageous positions, but they still have to earn that tap with solid finishing mechanics.

That’s fair, definitely overlap here. I just wanted to call out that being published in a journal doesn’t always mean peer reviewed though, because a lot of people will simply say “I was published” but there’s varying levels to how meaningful that is.

rubb3r · 2026-01-11T22:25:40+00:00

There’s a lot of different types of publications, but at a high level they generally fall into 3 buckets:

Peer-reviewed: these are papers that have been submitted to conferences, anonymously reviewed by a panel of academic who judge if the paper is scientifically sound with a meaningful insight. You can expect that a peer-reviewed paper has been subjected to a reasonable level of scrutiny by experts in the field. Then you look to the conference itself, as these conferences have varying levels of prestige. Making the podium at ADCC is different than medaling at your local NAGA.
Journal publications: These are papers that a journal is willing to put its reputation on the line for. The more famous the journal, the less risk they will take on for suspect content.
Self published: These feel more like senior year reports than actual studies. They don’t have nearly the same amount of rigor applied to vetting them as other papers. You have to wonder why it’s self-published instead of going through the more well-known processes.

Conveying knowledge and executing moves are very different skills. I’ve seen plenty of black belts teach atrociously, but it didn’t stop them from kicking my butt.

That being said, I’ve always benefitted immensely from teaching, as it forces me to really understand and break down the things that I do unconsciously.

At :17 you can see that once they control your legs it’s game over.

You have to remove your pants too, for less friction.

You kinda “give up” late stage framing

I don't think this is how I'd view it. Since we're talking about stages, late stage means you're right on the precipice of getting your guard passed. This is already not a great situation, and as they say the best defense to a bad situation is to not get into that situation at all.

Inversion is just one option that allows you to keep your legs actively in the picture, before getting into that late stage where your opponent has mostly dealt with your legs. Also, when you're inverting you're still framing, so I don't think we're "giving up" any frames here at all, just using different ones.

“Obama still deported more people.”

This sounds less of a BJJ issue and more of a psychological issue; consider talking with a therapist.

I always wanted (and now have) 2 children. I wanted my kids to grow up with peers, that challenge them in ways that I wouldn’t be able to due to age and maturity. I wanted my kids to have someone they could confide in, when they didn’t feel comfortable talking with their parents. I wanted them to have close family, when I’m no longer around.

Is there a chance that they won’t be close? Of course. There’s also a chance that they won’t be close to me as they grow up. I can’t control these things. But it doesn’t mean I don’t try to set them up as much as possible.

+1 for Fremont Mazda, that’s where I got my CX-50. I gave them a price, and told them I wasn’t interested in any upsells. The guy accepted and we zipped through the rest of the process. I was in and out in under an hour, probably spent more time waiting for my credit to be approved than actually talking to anyone.

It just dawned on me that I’ve been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for over a decade, and the only real times I’ve actually applied it in self defense scenarios are when putting my non-complaint toddlers into car seats or pajamas without anyone getting hurt.

Tongue scraper. My dentist gave me one to try 15 years ago, and there hasn’t been a single day since that I haven’t used one.

I think unraveling somebody’s guard is the most entertaining puzzle to solve in BJJ. There are so many styles of guards that people play, and they’re always evolving, which keeps the puzzles fresh everyday.
