Nice to see that one of my favorite boards is falling apart before my very eyes.
At any rate, i haven't been to the gym in a while. Too occupied by school shit but I make time to go to wrestling practice every now and then.
>>766914
Looks like an alright place. Just ask if they do month-to-month payments. Don't sign up for a membership with them if they make you do a contract for x amount of years unless you think you can keep paying it. That way if something happens, you aren't legally bound to do shit.

>>766914
If you want strong cardio, you need to adjust your routine. Distance running/swimming only trains distance runs/swims and doesn't engage your circulatory/respiratory systems the way grappling will.

If you're not worried about that at all, routine looks solid.


As far as gym, you aren't going to find any decent training facilities anywhere. If they've got a schedule that fits yours and they aren't screwing you over on payment plans (lease style first/last payments, contracts that force you to pay for x amount of time, etc.) that's honestly the best you can hope for.

I recently started lifting regularly BUT I only do it once a week.

As a newbie to lifting will I still see gains in my grappling from it or do I HAVE to lift more often to see any real results?

>>766962
You need to train your body for multiple bursts of high-intensity activity in quick succession. That pretty much describes HITT.

Tabata style workouts are great for this. If you want to keep it to running, develop a weekly cycle of sprints, tempo-runs, and distance runs to develop lung capacity, VO2 max, AND stamina.

Google and trial-and-error are your friends. Research HITT's and see what works best for you. I personally do Tabata style workouts.

The lifting is good, too. Strength can be overcome with good technique, but it's really hard to pull someone into guard when they can pick you up with one arm.

>>766969
Strength vs technique usually goes to technique, but like I said here >>766976 at a certain point, there's no amount of technique that can help you when your opponent can treat you like they are handling a child.

That being said, you're going to have to be significantly stronger than your opponent for that to matter. There's a reason it takes 2 or 3 cops to subdue someone without hurting them.

tl;dr--lifting won't help much against the better trained grappler but it can give you an advantage in certain situations

>>766979
SS?

>>766991
So what you are saying is it probably won't help that much, but it also won't hurt ether.

Well I see no reason to stop lifting now that I am doing it. If I get the chance to do it more often I will try, but for now I will keep doing what I am doing.

>>766908
BJJfag here, what are the best tutorials you guys have for being offensive/attacking from the turtle position/turtle guard.

>>767031
Sounds like the best plan to me. You need both technique and physical fitness. Technique is more important, but you NEED them both.

I rolled with a good grappler in no gi today and I was wondering something. I managed to sink a high crotch numerous times, but he just sort of let me get it and then proceeded to fuck with me on his back. My question is to how do I shoot my double leg and go for my crackdown when I have to deal with a guillotine? It's a lot weirder when I can get choked

>>767035
Anyone?

>>767044
Chin tucked in and have your hands in the right position for the takedown. If they get the guillotine stack into them while pushing your forearm into their neck

>>767035
singleleg takedown from turtle

>>767155
The only thing that I have ever had any success with from the turtle is raising your hips and going for the leg between your own. It should eventually lead to a kneebar, but the success rate isn't great. usually I just try and scramble to something better.

>>767035
Possible submissions from bottom turtle:

Roll to triangle choke
Spin back for a chicken wing (can also turn into armbar or wristlock)
Knee Bar
Toe Hold
Shin lock

>>767044
Google Pat Smith. The way he does his Hi-C the guy ends up falling forward so he can't really do much (can't even sprawl).

Obviously, you must also be very tight to them with your head and keep your head up.

The counter your should really be worried about is people jumping to your back with one of your arms trapped by their leg.

>>767198
That counter is what I dealt with today the most! Thanks, because I didn't know how to describe it. It was kind of a funky reaction to me.

Eduardo Telles has built a lot of his games from turtle position.

A lot of it consists of controlling your opponents legs and kneebars, rolling back to guard, and baiting your opponent to pressure into you so you can reach your hand across his body to reverse the position.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYKiIyRR7Wk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ATWaHXpzg0

Pretty sure he has a couple of vids out.

Protip: if you are training for grappling only do lowbar squats, deads, power cleans/hang cleans/power snatches (pick one), heavy ass dumbbell rows, bench presses, and weighted ab work. Hell even some of those are unnecessary.

>>767196
you can take an arm, roll forward and end in this weird under the armpit armbar pinning thing, happens in judo sometimes

Meh, if Rousey actually attempted some grappling I could agree with you, but she tried to stand and bang with a world class striker. Fucking stupid game plan.

>>768693
No idea why she decided to try and outbox a kickboxing champion. She should have stayed in her element and maybe she would have won.

>>768696
I doubt it, she always charges in. And when she tried to resort to grappling, she couldn't finish.

Holm was just way more prepared than her.

Does anybody know where I can find pdfs of grappling books?

I really want to read pic related. Jiu-jitsu University is worth it for the escapes alone, but a lot of them aren't even worth it.

Does anybody read any guides or picked up anything cool that they read?

It's a meme book. I think the point is that if you didn't know what it was, you could just google it, which you did. Good job guy. I'm not sure why you are getting mad.

>>768586
Lol, do you grapple bro? Having a sore lower back all the time really fucking hampers grappling. I also have no idea why you think that modified olympic lifts benefit grappling in anyway.

I personally use a trap bar since it is easier on my back than deadlifts and easier on my knees than squats (used to use one at a lifting gym, just got one at the martial arts gym, all the fighters were really excited. Everyone is using it). I also like do do full glute-ham raises (as the device's creator intended - not just doing fucking leg curls on them)

>>768624
Yah, it's like an arm throw, it especially work if they try to spin behind you (also popular in wrestling). I was just listing off all the possible submissions. There is also stuff like granbies - to guard is popular, but you could also just take their back. Sit outs, wrestlers switch. My coach has a cool one where when then spin behind,you sit up and sweep them over your leg with your arm.

>>768733
Books? Dude this 2015, get some fucking DVDs, go on youtube, or download some shit. You can buy a membership to a website to with videos - erik paulson's has by far the biggest library that I've seen.

>>768756
I can't afford the Erik Paulson membership atm.
I have an extensive video library, but I like the ease of access to books.

Some of the older stuff isn't available on that, but even if it were I just enjoy the medium.

you need to learn how to shoot a high C (propper penetrating step, grip, and finish it them.


The gif is rather impressive but DC had the added advantage of using the cage to aide in securing his High C.

I like to wrestle with my roommate and buddies. One problem I have is half the time I shoot to take em down I get caught in that choke. Not a wannabe tough guy or anything but I know I can beat my roomier if not for that shit we just fuck around n do wrestling with submissions especially if we are drunk and watching ufc.

>>777131
What kind of choke? RNC or a headlock in pic related. The best way to get out of that is to grip fight like a demon.

>>777150
guillotine head lock choke

>>777157
Then grip fight and peel those hands off. Head lock chokes are one of the most common submissions for people who generally don't know how to wrestle, but its also easy to escape if you know what you are doing.

>>777131
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqo1HXi4q30

Also if you shoot with your head to the inside (like for a blast double) or circle to the outside to get your head across his body, rather than pressing on the outside, you can avoid the guillotine altogether.

Does anybody know any front headlock escapes that aren't wrestling sit-outs. I had some success with outside fireman's carry and peeling the arm off my throat for a Russian 2-on-1 for a while, but now everybody's caught on to my shit.

>>777212
if you don't like sitting out, a peek out is a nice in between of committing to a sit out but still relies on good head and neck position on uke. Another would be attempting a switch.

>>777217
I'll try the switch out for a bit.

A lot of times, my head and neck positioning isn't even good enough to get there (hence why I would rely on my outside fireman's or the russian to peel that arm off my throat).

So are there any ways of relieving that pressure off the throat or peeling that grip altogether that you guys like to use?

2MB, 300x168px

>>777224
I'll say this.If you find yourself commonly caught in the front head lock there are 2 major flaws in your fighting style that make you prone to getting put in that spot.

1) Your head posture and stance are poor and you keep dropping your head making you prone to getting front head lock. Because a lot of rookies will duck or bend their heads completly down when "Defending" a grip

2) You have weak hand fighting/pummeling and get put into a front headlock. IE you get constantly collar or neck tie and force to bend your head or snapped down and force to bend your head.


Developing a better stance and head posture and developing better hand fighting/pummeling serves as preventive maintenance in getting caught frequently in a front headlock.


Third thing i like to address is if you're offensively minded and shoot a lot, you need to watch your head position a similar problem happens like this guy hinted >>777131

You're not going to get front head locked nor guillotine if you put your head in the proper place for a shot. So either your head is dead smack in the guy's gut for a blast double/morote gari.

OR if you shoot a single or high crotch your head and neck are so press against the guy's ribs and you're necks posture up and angled you're not going to get front head lock

>>777224
To directly answer your question about relieving pressure off your throat, you better be fighting off that hand and peeling it off. You shouldn't be thinking of getting deeper into your opponent and hitting fireman's carry but rather hand fight, push away and reset into your offensive set. Trying to salvage yourself from bottom like that and chaining an attack isnt efficient and will get you into deeper trouble. I advice my athletes to reset after clearing something defensively

>>777233
Okay, thanks so much.

I definitely feel like my problem is more about the first option.

I would most certainly reset most of the time, but when I'm down, a lot of times I'm the smaller guy. So when I push away, I feel like my partner's weight is coming more on the back of my neck and head, pushing me down further. When I try to fight that grip and push back at an angle, he has better mobility because his hips are higher/he's on his toes.

Any tips on disengaging from that position?

https://youtu.be/YQX-3TxyPuE

This isnt the exact video i wanted to reference but its close. I want you to look at 0:19 to 023

observe how his head is always postured up, even as he level changes his neck never bends nor his head never moves. A lot of people tend to dip their heads and bend their necks making them prone to being head lock.

Next piece i want to reference.
Look at 0:30 this is what i was refering to in terms of keeping the head near uke's/defender's gut. If you're going to lead your head outside during a shot make sure your head is still postured up, (i'm trying to find a video example to reference so give me some time) but the core princple is having proper head posture to prevent the problems you guys are facing.

>>777242
Can I ask you what your main point of attack, right now I am reading your problem as you're a smaller athlete, stuck in turtle/ref's position. Do you feel comfortable with a single leg? Like do you find yourself with your opponent's leg but you're stuck on bottom, or are you completely bellied out

>>777247
I'm normally stuck with an arm. I never belly out, but I always get crossfaced when I find the leg.

So normally, I bail on it to keep my composure and to survive/keep a defensive position rather than try to suck that leg in.

My main point of attack, starts from the ground when I go for a sit-up sweep, to a fireman's, to an outside fireman's, to a dump finish.

Normally, this at least puts me back in a neutral position where I can back out if I don't get the dump finish, but against larger, more skilled opponents, I can't find the right leverage.

>>777247
I'm pretty beat so i'll be heading to bed but i'll post 2 ideas here and reply to your response later. For guys on the bottom, even when your opponent is above you with higher hips, you get a leg and work a single into a stand up or use that leg to sweep and reverse.

I am going to use this as a reference point in terms of the concepts ill talk about again tired but ill expand on some of these points in depth.

https://youtu.be/RZsKInibQt4


First concept if you're stuck on bottom but you get a leg, use that grip and circle around. Watch at 6:30 and this coaches right arm. That's the pivot point you need to establish your reset series and get clear out of being bottom.

Next point if you're stuck on bottom and you got yourself at least something of a single leg, is adjusting your hips/falling to the side then walking back up. That moment of you falling forces your opponent to fall with his own hips, then you can reset and continue.

Look at 10:50 mark

Thanks, man. This video actually helps a lot. I actually watched a video of this guy when it came to "legal discomfort" back when I used to actually wrestle.

>>777261
Actually, that elbow to the mat thing worked out in general. I had to kind of modify it from the position I get, where I kind of bail on whatever arm I caught for a funky feeling swing single.

Still, great stuff man.

What are some interesting drills and movements you guys do to control the head and hands of your opponent?

From standing, I drill this, and have great success with it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys9tmw3TIEU

For hands, I usually focus on using a y-grip break when they grab the outside and forcing it across their body.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K2K2XN5KbI

If they are dumb enough to grab across, I usually club the back of their shoulder while pulling my hand back to land into a Russian 2-on-1 or better I hit a shallow arm drag to a single.

Are you implying it isn't a throw?

Anyway..

I've been chasing the Uchi Mata for awhile back, and I think I'm going to change my grip strategy. The only thing I can hit from the standard sleeve and collar grip is a shitty ken-ken uchi mata, as I can never seem to get in deep enough for that perfect lift and throw.

I've been thinking on working an under-over, or sleeve and armpit grip to see if that helps me get in deeper. As an added bonus, it would help me shut down all the lanklets that end up in my weight class.

Any tips on uchi mata, /asp/?

first thing to land was the opponent's arm, second thing was his head. guy who supplexed would probably get injured more than the guy who got supplexed.

>>792419
That's because if you land them on their head it is a DQ. Wrestlers are very careful not to do that in competition, but as someone who has trained MMA in a gym full of wrestlers, they aren't as careful to do that out of competition unless they really like you.

>>790112
Judo lab did a great video on Uchi Mata https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZJcx2ppyB4

Think of the hip as a fulcrum, rather than thinking of it as a big hip lift. However, if you're struggling to get your hips into the proper position then you need to work on your kuzushi and make sure that you're getting your opponent off balance before you bring you hips through to attack.

How are you setting the throw up?

>>792637

Standard uchi-komi type set up from sleeve and lapel grip. I pull uke up and in to try to get him on his toes, then backstep into position and bring the leg up.

Works great in throw for throw/ light randori, but I find when it comes down to hard randori and shiai I find I can never get deep enough due to the grip fighting, and end up only hitting the leg.

Basically, I do good 'tall guy' uchi matas, but I'm not tall enough to rely on them.

>>792641
Watch the video I posted because it should help you out a lot.

With hard randori, you need to set it up better, work on your ashi-waza and see what works for you, maybe a ko uchi or o uchi to open them up a bit more then smash in with the uchi mata.

Also worth noting that if you're fighting the same people week in, week out, then they'll become accustomed to your attacks and find them a lot easier to dodge or counter.

As to attacks, I usually try ko uchi or O uchi to open Uke up. Honestly, I think it's a kumi kata issue.

And yeah, I recently moved from a club that had lots of guys at different belt levels, to being one of the only coloured belts at a club full of browns and blacks.

>>792647
Ignore the middle part of my last post then.

If it's kumi kata, then you need to start drilling it hard, ask a partner or coach in randori to just fight grips with you for a minute or so, see how many times you find yourself in the dominant position, and how often they get it. Then look into exactly what the problems are, do you have a lack of forearm and grip strength in general? Are your muscles cramping up from over use?

iktf. I'm first dan now, but when I started I was the only colour belt in a club of browns and black belts, it was hard to throw any of them for years, but it has made me a better fighter now.

>>792653

Not a muscle or grip problem, I don't think. I'm pretty strong and I work a labour heavy job.

I think it's a grip strategy thing. In randori and Shiai I usually just take a grip and start fighting, whether it's advantageous, disadvantageous or whatever. I don't bother working towards the grip I want, just start pulling and attempting throws.

Any good video resources on grip-fighting? Is that Jimmy Pedro vid available to stream?

>>792781
Seems like you really need to think about gripping strategy. Simplify it in your mind, if they have a grip they like, they will throw you, if you have the grip you like, you will throw them.

Grip fighting is still a big part of judo, it's changed massively over the last few years, but it can still be dynamic and still be fun. You need to think about where you want your grip to be, are you fighting left or right handed? Can you switch from one to the other with ease? Are you on the inside of their grip (with Uchi mata, I'd argue you always need to be inside their grip, same is true of most koshi waza)? Start thinking about getting your grip, about fighting your opponents grip, because if you can't grip fight, you can't break their balance, and then you can't throw.

With regards to video resources, Beyond Grappling is great for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BecEWubDNF0 though this is a little outdated now.

so I've really began to start liking Morote Seoi Nagi but I can't do it without putting all the weight on my baby wrists

jesus fucking christ don't do that
my gym has a bunch of champions, they all say get your main grip NO MATTER WHAT. do EVERYTHING to get your grip and maintain it. if you feel there is no way you can get your grip just break away and start again. get your grip and try to not let your opponent get HIS grip.

drill the fuck out of grip fighting. grip fight until you get your grip, once you got it, start over.

>>793806

his weight should be on your hips, not your arms.

longtime wrestler getting into mma. as far as grappling goes, what takedowns are too risky as far as getting my neck caught?

>>781767
not butthurt just defending my discipline. that guy sucked at wrestling. he had his head down and his hips out in his takedown attempts. plus a lot of the throws and trips i saw have counterparts in wrestling. for example, idk what's it's called in judo, but when he stepped in between his legs and tripped, that's a wrestling move as well, and it's called an inside trip. and he also hit him with what we call a lateral drop, and a neck crank. so instead of the discipline being better, it's probably more of a case of the practitioner being better

>>794189
No, in a lot of colour belt competitions you don't wear your actual belt, you're given a blue or white belt to differentiate.

>>794189

I thought so, too, but he might just be wearing a white belt instead of/over his real belt.

A lot of small tournaments have a blue belt and white belt on hand for judoka to wear, to make scoring easier.

>>794191

Yeah, I know. I heard the same thing from the guys at my old gym. I think a big part of my problem is that I did pretty well at the citrus belt level, against other citrus belts, so that I internalized a lot of less-than-ideal habits. Need to relearn some shit (specifically, getting deeper for koshiwaza and developing a grip fighting strategy).

I'll see if I can get some guys to help me with grip fighting drills/strategy next time I have an open mat.

Is there a good comprehensive guide to grappling? Or for fighting in general?

I don't just want instructions on executing specific moves. I want flowcharts, strategies, etc..

After several months of grappling, I only recently found out that in the bottom of half guard you should curl your head toward the opponent's hip.

Hey guys, I'm looking into getting into grappling/ground work. I do Muay Thai and I am only really knowledgeable on striking. But where I go is a good gym, and they have a Jiu Jitsu coach there who I know is good, think he's a judoka and part of team GB (I am britfag). So what I want to know is, is Jiu Jitsu effective? If so, why? If not, why? Would it go well with MT? Please help anons.

There are many differnt flow chatrs on the interwebs, but the problem is: they aren't YOUR flowchart.

The "flow chart" of different fighters would very different, depening on their skills, their best techniques, their strategy and so on.

>>798544

You mean Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or (classical) Japanese Jiu Jitsu? I'd say go for Judo or BJJ, because with Japanese Jiu Jitsu you never know. There are some good schools and a lot of crap schools, and everything you'll learn in JJJ you'll get better in BJJ or Judo.

That said, if you have no alternatives To JJJ, it's much better than nothing.

Bumpy the Grappler

Been having issues being flattened out in half guard. I think I just need to opt into getting into half guard faster so I can base out on one hand, and have my hips escape the opponents weight, but it's so difficult at times.

Anyone got decent vid showing options when you get flattened out in half-guard?

What's the difference between Catch Wrestling and no gi BJJ?

>>806947
One doesn't exist anymore and the other does. But BJJ allows you to fight off of your back while catch wrestling didn't really permit it.

>>798544
Fellow britfag here, you mind posting the gym? It sounds like somewhere close to me, might be able to give you another opinion.

>>806959
I heard catch was having a resurgence in the US? You can find it in the UK at least, though it's not common.

>>806804
Work for a deep underhook and get on your side. Block the crossface all the time. If they have a crossface and/or far side underhook you will be flat.

>>806947
Different ideas regarding position, leg locks, and escapes mainly. Also most "catch" schools will be crap and good bjj is easy to find.

>>807309
http://www.warrington-thaiboxing.com

>>806947

Catch wrestling "inspired" BJJ, so they have a lot of overlap..

Catch wrestling has leg locks / foot locks which are allowed only for high BJJ belts and of course more wrestling takedowns.

BJJ on the other hand has a more refined conceptual syllabus, a strong focus on fighting from your back and Gi fighting (which is not included in catch wrestling, AFAIK).

Long story short:
Both arts are very similar, but when you say "I do catch" everyone gasps in awe.


>>807318

Yeah, but in US and UK it's a very small pool of guys who try to revive it. I'd lvoe to see it come back again, but honestly I think you're better off with cross training BJJ and wrestling and maybe, and after some years you can add some fancy footlocks if you feel like it..

>>807353
Jiu Jitsu with Colin Oates. I'd take that if I were you, though it's not the gym I thought it was.

>>807318
Catch wrestling has about as much chance of having a resurgence in the US as Sambo does. Its not practiced any where any more except in Japan and the UK. BJJ has filled the niche it used to.

>>806959

Yeah, Catch is near dead. If you live near an area that still teaches it, it's your duty to train it and keep the style alive.

>tfw live 3.5 hours from Asheville
I could go down for a day trip and get taught catch by Billy Wicks. Exciting stuff. Unfortunately, it's far away enough that I would only be able to go a few times a year, which is why I'm doing a lot of nogi bjj in the meantime so what I do learn I can better understand.

>>806804
As a judoka and wrestler half guard is the only guard I feel comfortable enough to say i'm decent at.

Like >>807349
eluded to, one of the the core concept of not getting flatten in half guard(and well have a good active half guard) is the deep underhook.

There are 3 core principles to having a good half guard.
They are;

1) underhook/waist control
2) should pressure/drive
3) knee twist

I am going to use the following video as a point of reference. Also I recommend studying Lucas Leite as he has help pioneer and morph the half guard as a strong meta game position

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm99MEVmCAo&feature

First time frame I want you to look at is at the 14:00 min mark.

Watch as Lucas hand fights, gets the wrist grip* and drives in for the underhook. He will refer to it later, but as he gets the under hook. He is driving his left shoulder and putting his weight toward and against uke.

There's a reason why i put an asterisk on the wrist grip. Next point of reference i want you to go to is .16:28.

Observe how instead of getting the wrist grip he promotes using that free arm and posting himself on his on elbow. This gives him a sturdier base and gives him leeway from getting flatten out. (I'm not a bjj player, however any good guard player half, butterfly, full, you are rarely ever flat on your back, so keeping that in mind, have that as a goal and always make sure you're sitting up or posting up in your guard)


Last time reference is the foot work and probably the most crucial and least taught aspect of half guard. I like you to rewind 14:30

Lucas talks about the importance of the underhook. but the synergy of the footwork/ankle lace/knee block at the same time.

This is the most crucial, and for me getting into this position makes the half guard the most viable because it forces uke into a turtle/ref's posistion where i can work my wrestling tilts and judo turn overs.

>>808054
one last thing i wanted to add was in reference to the gif i posted in the last post.

Watch Chael Sonnen sweep Anderson Silva and you will see a good example of using the under hook and shoulder pressure to complete the half guard sweep. Sonnen uses his left hand to pummel for the underhook and drive forward with his left shoulder letting him complete his double leg and reverse Anderson.

In this gif that i am posting right now. Notice Damian Maia's underhook, shoulder pressure and good footwork with the knee twist/ankle grip, letting him pivot up.

>>807468
There is a place in my city but like almost all grappling places it is way the fuck out of my price range.

Because only upper middle class people have both the money and time to learn.

Well at least I can still afford my hapkido club. Ain't much but it is better then nothing.

>>808147
i dont know, hapikdo is what i consider crappling, its not trained realistically and instills some real shitty habbits that are hard to un teach or well take a long time training out of you.

>>808054
Can you do submissions from half guard?

>>808147

No Judo around? Judo's usually fairly affordable.

>>808457
Not that guy, but the nearest Judo place to me is $70/month for 3 classes/week

>>808310
There's probably a sub set up from there. However most people use half guard as a position to reverse and get up. IE sweep.

>>808310
There are a shit ton of submissions from half guard both top and bottom position.

>>809146
Top is different of course. but i was reading that he was talking about bottom half. What subs can you hit from bottom half?

Deep half which honestly is a way different beast then regular half lets you hit knee bars and the leg lock series but other then that I see bottom half as a mainly sweep heavy position.

>>809150
Kimura is the big one

Don't need to be in deep half for knee bars. Some other leglocks too.

Several chokes.

Kick out to omoplata and triangle choke.

>>809162
>kimura on bottom half guard
top kek yeah it will work on scrubs like you. even on top that shit doesnt work.

>>809150
electric chair or calf slicer
there is not much you can do from bottom half, but tons of nice sweeps. see some eddie bravo stuff he's the shit on bottom half

>>809162
I know of the kimura. But honestly I have a lot of doubts of that being high percent. Possible? yeah but a low percent. In my mind's eye kimura from bottom half is the antithesis of of position before submission. Even watching meta level BJJ and even MMA. You see a bunch of guys get the kimura grip from half only to get jammed and passed in high level BJJ or jammed and ground and pounded in MMA.

There's to much of an advantage for your opponent to counter that sub, from gripping and defending their attack arm by using their gi or shorts.

I am rather curious about the several chokes and the omoplata set up from bottom half. Do you have any resources that show them?

>>809170
I find some irony for me as a judoka I prefer the current BJJ meta game of the half guard knee lace/ankle lace from Lucas Lettes

Compare to Eddie Bravo's half guard leg work with the lockdown variant, which Eddie credit's Judo Gene Lebell for teaching him. which is a modified and not really taught banned move called ASHI-KANNUKI

Both the lockdown and the knee block are good but i think the knee block is more aggressive for sweeping and scoring.

>>809171
You have to be good at kimura from bottom. There are a lot of transitions to know as well, such as going to kimura lockdown position. It requires a lot of patience and skill. I am a kimura guy, so it is fine.

Chokes I can think of off the top of my head:
One of our brown belts always tries to arm in guillotine me. I don't think he's ever got me with it, but he always at least uses it to transition. He usually likes to play the butterflyhook 1/2 guard and I think that's when he usually does it (also lets him sit up to fully butterfly). It's a pain in the ass to deal with.

Ninja choke and d'arce choke should be pretty obvious.

Arm triangle choke from bottom as well. I've been caught in that a few times by that brown belt I was talking about.

There is a baseball bat choke you can do as well. Have to bait them to pass. Very effective though. I taught it to a white belt who liked baseball bat choke in gi, and like 2 weeks later he almost got me with this.

Leg triangle choke can be set up with an overhook.

The other way to do it also chains with a few options including knee bar, omoplata, and a "revere spider web kimura"(best way to describe it I could think of). These come from knee insert guard/z-guard which I and a lot of people at my school play a lot. Basically when they pressure into you, you kick your bottom leg out and all the submissions should be obvious (can also sweep by putting gut on the knee and reverse gripping the near arm).

I forgot, you can also wristlock from bottom 1/2. My coach has a nasty wristlock game he works into his grip fighting. I don't think he's gotten me in a wristlock there (not that you couldn't), but it always chains into something or makes it get a good grip.

There are some more arcane leg locks too. Can see them on the leg lock encyclopedia on youtube. Not sure how well they work.

>>809183
Whether Gene got it from Judo or catch wrestling (aka the Scorpion Lock) is the real question!

>>809183
Yeah, I've wanted to play the lockdown game, but honestly never find myself there.

I generally play knee insert guard which gives me space so I don't have to bear much weight which I prefer. My game is rather simple but gets the job done. I'll usually use one of a few simple sweeps, go for the kimura, or kick out to open guard/sweep/submission.

I am trying to add a few things. Like come to the knees (dogfight for Eddie), and I am trying to play with the butterfly hook half guard more. I usually only end up doing the lockdown if I get completely flattened, but I am thinking the butterfly hook option may be better. That is what I a lot of our better guys have been doing. People seem to be getting pretty good at countering the lockdown. I know I certainly am.

I also have never really done anything with bottom half. I might start experimenting with that. Stephan Kesting has a really good 1/2 guard dvd that I am watching.

I also forgot that there is a very obvious and easy heel hook/ankle from bottom half. One of our guys who just got his purple is really good at it. I get it occasionally. This guy also has a decent lockdown game as well. I have trouble countering him, it's usually a war.

i wanna participate too.

BJJ newbie here. How do I counter guys that weigh twice as much as I do lying down on me in guard?

The black guy is Olympic wrestling gold medalist Daniel Cormier and the european is Alexander Gusstaffson.

To answer your question simply no. To go more in depth. Gus was attempting to counter DC's high crotch variant with a standing kimuar (bent armbar, which is why you see him so focused on attacking the hand grip, another thing to keep in mind in terms of layers of defense, one of the first things people are coaches isn't reaching back and grabbing the head or neck, but rather hand fight and break the grip.


DC's high crotch throw, is aided by the use of the cage's wall. letting him use his shoulder to pin Gus, he's able to get more rotation and off balance (what judo calls kuzishi) because as Gus feels DC ease up pressure against the wall he naturally pushes a bit more harder, this gives DC's throw more momentum and speed to lift and slam him.

>>836216

And then I learned how to low-single in wrestling during freshmen year of highschool.

Theres an MMA gym near my neighborhood, but that costs money. Im 19, so my main focus is getting a job. Im just afraid of getting in a fight I cant avoid

every style has a lot of rules, that doesn't discredit good technique, stratgey and training that you can learn. Not trying to sound rude. But getting at least some wrestling training helps expand and build into other avenues later, if you want to do BJJ, MMA, Judo, sambo etc.

Learning how to shoot, learning how to sprawl learning how to control a scramble are all good skills that help enhance you as an individual.

also what your coach is talking about is folk style, but you know there's a reason why there's greco and free style.

and just because there are rules doesnt mean refs don't suck and let a bunch of illegal stuff happen. Cheap shots and rule breaking happen at all levels and all styles/rulesets

The term paint brush is usually used to refer to the "v-lock" or "Americana" . Ude-garami also refers to the "v-lock" not the kimura. (Gyaku ude-garami is the term for a kimura).

Figure four arm-lock really isn't used either among grapplers. (Maybe in pro-wrestling? Kek). I mean for fucks sake, a figure four armlock could be at least 4 different submissions.

The proper english names for a kimura are "chicken-wing" or "double wrist lock". Chicken wing is usually preferred. Also, most people who are not autistic are fine with the term "kimura".

I personally use "v-lock" and "chicken wing" respectively because they paint a picture of what the lock looks like.

Tell them to stop being assholes. There's no point in stalling in a fucking roll. In a grappling match they would be called for stalling.

I live in northwest Florida by Alabama and Georgia, I can't find any fucking decent place to grapple.

About the farthest I can drive is Dothan Alabama.

Dothan has "Wolkpack MMA" with "MMA and aikido" and a judo class that meets two days a week.

There's also a judo gym in Dothan but they only meet two days a week at the same time as "Wolfpack" so I'm thinking it's the same program.

Marianna Florida has "premier boxing and MMA" which promises to teaching "the boxing and submission grappling needed for MMA".

Theres gotta be atleast 10-15 mcdojos teaching karate in the area though. There's even a fucking "Christian karate" place.

Is this really as bad as it seems to me guys?
Is there something I'm missing?

former judo guy here, maybe some bjj people can answer my question. so in judo your encouraged to stand up straight, but I was watching some BJJ comps and they took more of a wrestler stance. has bjj basically done away with the older judo stances?

I was also wondering if you ever see throws in comp other than grabbing the other guys legs, things like seoi nage and the like

>>836652
Of course there are a lot double and single are very efficient, but ippon seoi nage, tai otochi and o soto gari/ko uchi gari combo happen.
>>836224
Chill bro, it's called kimura in bjj.

>>836652
In Judo, you are breaking the rules by not standing up straight and will be called for stalling.

In BJJ or Sambo which is more similar to Judo, you use a real and proper grappling stance.

You do see throws etc in BJJ, but they are not as common due to the stance making it harder. Also, many Judo throws have to be modified to work in a sport that is not devoted to Ippon.

DESU, many BJJ guys just jump guard, so you won't see much.

One of our guys who got his black belt this week has a pretty mean Drop Seoi Nage.

Our coach is more of a complete grappler, so our BJJ classes always feature takedowns, but they are usually geared towards working for BJJ.

IMO, the top takedowns for BJJ are:
Single Legs/High Crotch
Arm Drag Options ->Boot scoot, back take to bike rack, inside or outside trip
Foot sweeps and spin downs are very good options as well.

>>850763

catch is a near dead style and sadly there isnt that much literature or instructional info out there.

Books are shit compared to videos

>>850763
Billy Robinson's DVD, Fujiwara Submission master, Josh Barnett's DVDs, and you should probably just get a subscription to Erik Paulson's website - it is like $30 for a month and it has a bajillion videos with more content than you could possibly ever use and it is all ready made for no-gi. You can also check out Gokor's DVDs.

>>851281
depends on the books. a lot of victory belt published books beat the hell out of any shitty youtube videos and even premium dvds
with multiple in color photos and flow charts to chain the moves.

to bad they only make shitty paleo diet books now. all their MMA, BJJ, and grappling books were godly.

>>851410
I own several Victory Belt books. The DVDs corresponding to the books are much better than the books are.

>>851424
perhaps, which is a testament to the quality of output Victory belt makes, but i still stand by that their books shit all over a lot of dvds that aren't there own.

>>851432
1 of the DVDs is actually pretty shitty, but is still better than the book (which is a good book). The other DVD is really good quality.

>>851463
which dvd is that? the eddie bravo one?

>>851482
one of them.

>>851503
i heard that eddie brave spend one disk on his instructional to just him jamming out with his band and talking about weed instead of actuallly teaching moves, he has 2 instructionals on DVD rubber guard and twister, was it the twister one?

It would have been better if it was one DVD, but instead he just mixes it in with everything.

So, the rubber guard set is 3 DVDs. Only the 2nd DVD covers the rubberguard which is good because most people can't do it. The first DVD is the lockdown and some other stuff. The 3rd DVD has some escapes and some other stuff.

Each DVD starts out with an intro from Johnny Karate, which are extremely funny. The problem is that what follows is techniques with just random shit inbetween. For instance, several times there will be music videos in the middle of the DVD, Eddie Bravo in black face, punking his students, Joe Rogan talking about how much he loves Eddie...etc.

So if they put all the extra stuff on like a bonus DVD it would have been better than just being mixed in with everything else.

I really like Johnny Karate though.

The mastering the twister DVD is very profession and high quality. Both DVD sets do include good information though. His armbar game as explained in the twister DVD is top notch and has drastically improved my armbars, which were already one of my top submissions.

>>851516
>>851623
Actually, now that I think about it, mastering the twister might have a bonus DVD with all that crap on it, which is where it should be.

While we're talking about catch wrestling dvds, I'm looking at a thread on sherdog right now about legitimacy in catch, and one point that someone is bringing up a lot is that having a foundation in, say, BJJ and watching dvds and reading books to learn catch doesn't make a person a catch wrestler. The logic is that, because there's no actual instruction taking place and because the subtleties aren't there, they can't claim to actually know catch. On the flip side, there's so few places to learn it that dvds and books are the only option for most people. What do you guys think? Does learning catch wrestling from books and videos while you already have a solid foundation in a submission grappling art make you a catch wrestler, or just someone who grapples and knows a few catch wrestling techiques?

lol you guys actually like rolling around on the floor with your chest against another guy for hours and you guys like fantasizing about it and talking about it for hours you guys are so gay

>>851741
>with your chest against another guy
Grappling isn't just about the chest, it's about the whole body.
Grappling really is one of the most intimate forms of martial arts.

I don't know if this is even about "legitimacy. But if you learn something by books or videos and have no actual playground to try these techniques on a regular basis, you won't learn the details, you won't learn where the threats or oportunities of the technique are, you won't learn if you can apply it or not.

Also every martial art follows differnet strategies. Each catch wrestling (nowadays) has slightly differnt rules concerning submissions, but in every CACC system you can win by pinning - which means you lose if you have both shoulders on the ground for about 3 seconds.

Now imagine you apply those rules to BJJ: You put someone in your guard and have exactly 3 seconds before you lost the complete match! That would change a lot.

How many moves should you have mastered to be a successful wrestler? I'm a noob and when i practice i end up hesitating because i dont know which moves to do. Ive been having trouble remembering more than a couple moves and i was wondering how many i'd need to have mastered for me to git gud

Its the dilemma plenty of high school wrestling coaches face specially teaching freshmen or kids who have had no prior knowledge.

People seem to have no problem calling Josh Barnett a catch wrestler, but he's never competed in a single catch wrestling match.

You can train in catch wrestling. You can learn the moves. But really, it doesn't matter, its all just grappling.

>>851912
Catch never had any sort of unified rules or anything in the first place.


Anyways, I think people are getting off track. The original person who brought up Catch wasn't interested in competing in Catch wrestling, he just wanted to supplement his grappling.

Personally, I just say I'm a submission wrestling or a grappler or whatever. It doesn't really matter. I've trained in catch wrestling since the beginning and added BJJ, wrestling, whatever shortly after. I've learned plenty of catch directly from my coaches, but I've also picked up a lot from the DVDs I listed earlier.

I don't see why people need to argue about it so much. I personally couldn't give 2 fucks about pinning, but a lot of the holds and positional control stuff I've learned is great.

No need to argue here.. Anon asked "Does learning catch wrestling from books and videos while you already have a solid foundation in a submission grappling art make you a catch wrestler?" and I replied that you are a Catch wrestler if you train or compete at catch wrestling.

If someone trains BJJ and learns a bunch of Judo takedowns, is he already a Judoka? I woudn't say so.

If someone dedicates a lof of time to Catch Wrestling, trying to figure out the differnt setups and submissions and tries to train/teach/revive the art, that's a differnt story.

THIS THREAD HAS GONE TO SHIT

TIME TO SAVE IT

WHAT MOVES ARE YOU MOTHERFUCKERS WORKING ON?

I am working on my guard game. Focusing on butterfly guard, half-guard with butterfly hook, spider guard, and inverting/granby rolls for guard retention.

I am also starting to use lapels to fuck shit up.

Always working on the low single brahs.

Trying to work my leglocks too. Working more on rolling kneebars, and "the truck" position.

How do I unbalance my opponent? Any books on that?

Do I literally just grab a guy's gi and push/pull him until his weight is over a leg I wanna reap? Is there not a guide or something for this?

I'm going to be in a new city for a seven-week period soon-ish. That's not long enough to actually learn all about a new martial art, but I could work on some aspect of fighting and give myself something to do in my free time, so I've thought about asking a local BJJ/submission wrestling place if they welcome visitors (and if I could pay less than their half-year fee, because I'm not made of money and will only attend for seven weeks).

My question is, what kind of policy do these places usually have regarding visitors? I have no previous experience in BJJ except the few times someone's shown me a couple of positions, but I'm eager to learn and bring no ego to the mat (I expect to tap out 95% of the time I'm there, but I'm sure it would teach me a lot about grappling on the ground). Can I assume that they'll welcome an almost complete newbie? I have a gi and a belt, of course.

>>860054
>Do I literally just grab a guy's gi and push/pull him

I think you'd be way better off to grab the head (and arm) than gi. Then yes, literally push and pull him where you want.

You might as well ask "How do I throw someone".. Unbalancing is done in every throw and always in a slightly differnt manner. Some baic principles are lifting someone (for example using your "Tsurite"), pulling someone (using your "Hikite") and/or denying the other guy to land savely on his feet (i.e. Sasae Tsurikomi Ashi), to get beneath someone center of gravity (loading him on your hip), rotating his upper body in oh so many directions..

It's a lot of stuff going on there.

>what do expect "real Judo" to look like?
like in my animes ;_;

>>863962

>So does kuzushi for a particular throw come with throw?

Uhm.. what are you trying to say?
Generally a Judo throw consists of multiple stages:

-Kuzushi (unbalancing)
-Tsukuri (positioning)
-Kake (excecute the throw)
-Ukemi (landing)

But of course most of the times there's overlap of these stages..

For example:
Tori moves Uke clockwise (adding momentum, beginning of Kuzushi) then he pull him upwards (applying Kuzushi), makes a step and blocks Ukes feet (Tsukuri) and then rotates him so Uke falls to the ground (Kake / Ukemi).
