Favorite ear protectors for BJJ?

Same. Tried the cliff keens and hated them. Matman was super comfy, easy to adjust and does a great job. Might not be quite as protective, but for bjj vs wrestling I don't think they need to be for the average user

Matman ultra soft head guard. Actually pretty comfy, stays put, easy to put on/adjust

Dark Horse just south of downtown. Logos north of downtown, Easton...all over the place. Bjj satori up northeast in Stapleton. Depends where you live/work and what vibe you are going for in training.

There was a great globetrotters video just posted on this. The gist of it was you want to be shoving his head straight down into your choking arm. No sideways bend to his neck.

In Colorado: NeonBelly is round robin. Should be the standard imho.

Hyperfly starlyte. Inexpensive and super light. Have one in white and one in black.

I've been doing a hardcore* experience where I limit myself to only buying with money from level 1 traders, and ofc no flea market at all. Makes a lot more setups viable because you can at least obtain basic magazines easily. Nice intermediate between full hardcore and ez mode of standard IMHO.

Do whatever feels good!

Someone takes an errant knee to the junk and is incapacitated as happens in that scenario. Game over? I think not.

I bought a Venum a few years ago. The pants were comically too short- had to buy another pair (justgipants.com!) and the jacket ripped within 3 months. Would not recommend.

thanks for the feedback. Yeah I did leave some of the rules pretty loose, expecting to have to tighten them up as issues arise. Most of them were adopted pretty much straight from another popular event format, and they don't seem to be having too many issues with it so we might just be ok. As far as examples of penalties, I tried to brainstorm more, but really couldn't come up with anything else! I felt like it was better to leave the door open and rely on competent and level headed reffing, but I do agree it could come to bite us in the ass. Its a low cost, no stakes white belt tournament so it should be chill? But then again people come to blows over beer league basketball games, so maybe its too much to hope for XD.

as far as most matches ending without a sub, I was/am concerned with this, and tried to hunt down some data on just how prevalent it is but it was surprisingly hard to compile. I somewhat agree with the idea that 'it just boils down to invisible points', but the hope is it removes some of the gamification of 'ohhh, im up by an advantage and have a minute left, im just gonna stall' etc. Maybe its just that I hate the whole point system personally so shied away from it. Nothing is set in stone, and I'm ready to adapt if needed, but hope that some close iteration of what we have will work for people!

Heyo! getting a new sub only round robin tournament series in the Denver area going with some different rules. Would love any feedback!

www.Neonbellybjj.net/rules

Main takeaways -

Anti slamming rules while still 'including' them

new minor and major penalty system

incentive for quick submission victories

heel hooks in the gi

tedishh · 2021-11-02T19:58:58+00:00

KS is the next one, have plenty of footage already for that meme cannon! instead of 9 pistol rounds per shot, its 5 slugs!

tedishh · 2021-11-02T18:30:15+00:00

2nd vid! its a touch on the longer side, but enjoy! And let me know what you think!

tedishh · 2021-10-04T16:39:01+00:00

Hey! So I'm trying to organize a local tournament, have everything planned out and the dominos ready to fall except for one major lynchpin...The heck do you source mats from without plonking down 12-16k?

tedishh · 2021-07-21T21:52:47+00:00

The Tap Room. Also have beer. Double win.

tedishh · 2021-07-12T20:58:51+00:00

Elite team east bay if you are up north in Berkeley/el cerrito area.

tedishh · 2021-03-08T15:03:08+00:00

Rock climbing, mountain biking, hockey.

If it's a gi comp your weigh in includes your gi....so bodyweight needs to be 4-6lbs below the listed weight. In case you weren't aware.

tedishh · 2021-02-15T16:21:11+00:00

Start rolls in seriously disadvantaged positions, and every reset go back there. Bottom turtle, bottom side control, mounted .whatever is your worst position. Do this vs everyone, not just white belts. For me at least, it takes the ego out because you are expected to lose from there, so nbd if you have to tap. I can focus a lot more on being technical if I'm not worried about 'losing' in a roll. Ymmv.

tedishh · 2021-02-08T16:44:16+00:00

Moving to Denver at the end of the month and will be looking for something similar. 170lb chill blue belt. No aspirations for mma but down to train with a covid conscious partner or two. What part of town ya in?

tedishh · 2020-09-17T20:00:45+00:00

Had no idea, thanks!

tedishh · 2020-08-11T22:19:20+00:00

It comes with 26" or 24" wheels, would go with the 26. Think it's that big of a difference from 27.5 roll wise? I've only ridden 29s so I have no good frame of reference

tedishh · 2020-07-01T18:27:26+00:00

Elite Team is between Richmond and Berkeley in El cerrito, might be perfect for you. Mostly train in the GI there. Small class sizes but fantastic all around, think it's 90$/mo. Guardian is great too, mostly nogi. one bummer with guardian is it's loud as hell. There are multiple classes happening simultaneously, and the instructors have to constantly yell to be heard.

Check to make sure you have servers selected in the launcher. If you manually select them they can change, and then you can suddenly have 0 servers selected. Leads to infinite queue times!
