Lets Talk Jiu Jitsu

[I AM WE ARE]

I know one thing, no more sambo class on Fasted/ fasting days

We did 2 rounds of 52 pick up, then different scarf submissions then finished class with catch and release rounds. I know one thing though, my kimora game getting better and im learning to not get focused on doing 1 submission. I gotta work on my bridges and sit thru game. I gave up my back too easily imo . It was only because I was stronger than dude and use my hips better I wasn't rnc

Took 7 weeks off after a boxers fracture.

Been getting back at it the last 3 weeks, or so. Missed the competition my gym was preparing for today so that sux.

Got a nice armbar on a big purple belt from a other gym at open mat last night.


Hand still hurts, but its manageable for the most part. I wrap it pretty good b4 rolling. Hopefully, it's good for a competition on 12/21.

Gonna try 2 cut 15 pounds by 12/19.

Finally made it back. It’s a lot of new people at the gym. Kinda weird now being able to beat most people in the class.

i need to make it to the night classes again because I think that’s where all the best guys train. I need to get humbled. Am I the only that feels like they’re not getting better if they’re not get destroyed at least once per class?

A lot of the moves I forgot so it looks like I’ll be building a whole new game. I can still remember basic concepts but entire sequences I used to know still haven’t came back.

I need to get a laptop too an finish going through all the Danaher and Gordon Ryan instructionals, I feel like those improved my game the most.

If I can stay consistent for 6 months I know I’ll get my purple belt

might even compete in the summer

Hit 2 open mats today.

Gonna try 2 cut 15 pounds by 12/19.

Decided not to cut down to 214.9. With Thanksgiving falling at the start of the cut and me not wanting to be miserable trying to cut(never did one b4) and maybe not even making weight, I'll just enter at heavyweight.


I'll prolly be 225-228, fully hydrated and at full strength when I jump on the scale.

Feeling better after open mat last night. Rolled with a 2 stripe Blue that just competed at 238 the week b4 Thanksgiving.

Was able to maintain SC while being in his lockdown for a food amount of time. He eventually got me in something like a crippler crossface with a baseball choke type of set up.


Nx roll, I got all the way in SC after breaking his lockdown. Put pressure on him and he rolled to his side. Trapped the arm and locked in the armbar.


Gave me some confidence to do battle with a white belt of similar size.

My hand is getting better , but due to the concern of landing on it, or getting it tangled in a collar, I havent been drilling any takedowns.


Another this about rolling with my injured hand is I used to get an arm under the neck and gable grip behind the shoulder to maintain side control and squeeze my opponent.

To create/maintain pressure without the grip and the squeeze has been a nice change up and it takes less cardio.

I'll sign up nx week and let u guys know how the nx 2 weeks of training go.

Signed up for my 1st comp.


A week and a day left.

Got open mat tonight. Then might roll after work with some coworkers on Sat Morning.

Relax Sunday. Class on Monday, maybe 2, then hit class on tuesday, or weds morning.

Rest thursday/Friday and be ready to work Sat.


For guys that have competed b4, is that too much b4 a competition, or should I be good???

If open mat is rough tonight, then I won't roll Sat, or I'll just do some light stuff.

What you’re doing is fine. Go hard to mentally and physically prepare for the comp. Get your gas tank right. Rest for two days before competition to ease your mind and let your body heal.

Don’t injure yourself in the training leading up to it. This is critical.

 

[KING WILL]

Sounds good man.

Thx for your input.

Interesting thread. So can you guys get out of a headlock very easily and turn it around on the person that attacked you?

The headlock everyone does when you are minding your business. I need to know how to get out that shyt so I can turn around and fukk someone up. Cause nobody really expecting a dark skin brah fukking someone up with a arm bar etc

I havent been doing this that long, but I havent really seen any1 get caught in a standing headlock like that (didn't watch the entire video).

Imo from my exp. The key to choke, is having control over the rest of their body so you can prevent them from turning into you, or pulling away etc etc.

That control will come from the legs via hooks, or body triangles.

Then you have people like me that's hard to arm choke for whatever reason. Even higher belts. They have to switch to something like a bow and arrow choke that uses the gi and have pretty good control over the rest of my body.
