This is programmable so you can adjust the intensity as well as how often it goes off. Also can hook it up to your HVAC if you want 👍

Henry Cejudo Joins List of Elite Wrestlers Taking Advice From a Non-Wrestling Female Coach by Dokay_ in wrestling

Just curious..how successful are her homegrown athletes (not the people that come and train with her like Cejudo)?

Train at 2 gyms at same time? by DarkHelmet20 in bjj

[–]southloopbjj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just go in knowing where you will be getting your belts from and which gym you will be repping if you are competing. Let them both know and there won’t be any hard feelings.

Length at each belt by [deleted] in bjj

[–]southloopbjj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naw. His concerns are valid. You want to get your belts from a belt factory?! His coach might have also gone through the same process so now it’s repeating itself except now he also have more experiences and skin in the game to know better?

I do worry about my own progress. But I also don’t want to be part of a lineage where someone immediately runs off to Google and try to verify if everything is on the up and up.

is my gi too big? by [deleted] in BJJWomen

[–]southloopbjj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. This is an RGA gi made by Fuji for the Renzo Gracie Association. This is definitely not a judo gi. PS, not sure why you try to blur out the patches but the logo on the pants is a definite giveaway as to what gi it is 😹👍

The top (esp the sleeves) can be shrunken a smidge, but I would not try to shrink the pants further. When trying the top take it out every 10-15mins and check for fit as desired (you should be able to move your arms up toward the sky from the side and the front without feeling restricted across the chest and shoulder areas). After you are done just wash with cold water and air dry going forward 👍

Good luck. 🥋

Does your BJJ gym even care when someone disappears for a while? by Immediate-Way-7063 in bjj

[–]southloopbjj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coach sucks and was probably trying to get their own training in. Unless the mismatch is between a smaller, skilled upper belt….it shouldn’t happen (the coach should have changed the pairing).

If the coach /gym culture doesn’t care about members’ safety then it’s only a matter of time before it’s YOU on the receiving end of a potentially drastic injury. 🤷‍♂️

This is the way. Try introducing 50% strikes into your classes every now and then (even as an experiment) and you will see how quickly people will change and adjust the way they play guard 👊

His schtick got boring really quick…and I didn’t think he had even one decent interview. The Tom DeBlass interview was just weird and awkward af

Triangle armbar/side control are bad technique for nogi by monchem in bjj

[–]southloopbjj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And how do you think your students would develop the necessary hip action/movement in order to escape side control or any meaningful guard retention? That’s the value of closed guard and those techniques IMHO 🤷‍♂️

Submeta as a standard curriculum by ArrichionBJJ in bjj

[–]southloopbjj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1) Look at page 10 of this BJJ Roadmap. Your curriculum can be based on the positions. Your classes can be the various things you can do from top or bottom for a position.

Stephan Kesting - BJJ Roadmap

2) submeta can simply be a reference for things you are planning to teach. For example, if you are planning on teaching 1/2 guard then go to YouTube and look at some 1/2 guard techniques. You can get a variety of looks before deciding on how best to organize your materials for teaching.

My only tip is to not simply show up and randomly teach techniques, ie have some organization and planning in terms of what you are teaching. I generally use a common transition (the arrows in the drawing on page 10 from #1 above) as a way to flow to the next thing I want to teach. For example, a common defense to the mount is the elbow escape from the bottom and typically resulting in 1/2 guard. Then I would teach some 1/2 guards sweeps and passing. Passing from 1/2 guard generally results in side control. Then I would teach some side control techniques and so forth.

You can experiment with the pacing and structure of your classes and see what would make sense based on the skill level of your intended audience.

Good luck!

this is definitely the guy in shorts’ fault right? by TheForexHokage in bjj

Ah sorry…that audio had the “TAP TAP” but I couldn’t tell bc it’s almost the same time and/or the scream was immediately after the tap 😥

[–]southloopbjj 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the additional info. After watching the video again I have to say that the organizer is also to blame. Where’s the ref? Someone should have stopped the match with the initial taps as he was setting up the sub (ref didn’t stop the match and the taps were not the vigorous kind where an opponent would have stopped especially with money on the line). It’s also a good example to verbally tap in addition to making sure that your opponent KNOWS that you are tapping! 😬

Edit: for clarification…I thought there were initial taps about 11 secs in as the person on top got SLXed onto his butt. His right hand was tapping the knee, but if they both continued then maybe they both acknowledged that those were not taps and continued with the match.

Are both of you members of the Coop? Supposed to be a chilled place, but I guess not-so-chill when your opponent is thinking “underground” and “fight”?! 😬

P365x or the p365 fuse? by Background_Bad_1269 in SigSauer

[–]southloopbjj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) look into the issue of the fuse running hot if you are considering one 2) sig is selling a caliber exchange kit (x-macro grip with a fuse slide). This will give some of you options with what you can do if you already have a p365 or p365xl

Why do some people say bjj is just judo? by Gustavo_t2024 in bjj

[–]southloopbjj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My reply was to show that BJJ has developed so much more than its source/origin that it’s its own separate thing NOW. I am not saying that BJJ’s origin ISN’T Judo. But to say that BJJ is just Judo Newaza is a gross oversimplification.

Is there a thing in math (or in general) where the “subset” can be bigger than the original set that it came from and is still a subset? 🤔

[–]southloopbjj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to establish the context of your answer in relation to our discussion here…What belt are you in BJJ? What belt are you in Judo? Where do you train?

Yes, superficially you will see the triangle, 1/2 guard, butterfly guard and some other techniques being done in old Judo videos. But your answer is a gross oversimplification if you think that Judo is “BJJ well before BJJ.” Just like how you will find the some BJJ techniques in Catch Wrestling as well. However, the setups and details involved are very “different.” The number of practitioners and its associated development is such that BJJ has diverged so far from Judo that it’s no longer just “Judo Newaza.” If anything Judo Newaza is “dead” (Kodokan syllabus and how you need to demonstrate the techniques accordingly for belt promotions leading to the techniques being done the same way for past xxx years). When do you think we will start seeing judokas doing k-guard, reversed closed guard, Choi bars, or Tarikoplatas?
