has anyone heard the controversy over the text books in Texas. I was wondering why all this focus and why are all these special interest groups from all over so worried about it.

Then i remembered I waswatching this 60 minutes program a couple yeqars ago andit seems Texas leads the way in the direction of our schools learning. The main school text book publishers are in Texas and there is basically just a handfull of people that sit on the board that get to direct what , basically, the nations teaching criteria.

I wish i could find a betterlink or the the report I watched to paste here but this is all I had time to find.....going to work.

Usually my problem isn't the passing so much as the breaking. My posture is terrible in guard because I always get pulled forward and fall over on my face. Yesterday I was talking to another guy who is a really solid guard passer and gave me the littlest hint that made all the difference. When people pull you forward with their legs, just push your hips forward and you can stay postured up. I tried that for the rest of class and it really worked out for me. I actually opened someone's guard (that's actually the first time in the year and a half that I've been training). So now that I realize I need work on guard passing... I've got my work cut out for me. Thanks for the tips, Locke.

I agree with Jack on this one. I go to his school and he did a class last week about open guard and some basic principles and they really hit home with me. I have had a much more successful time maintaing some sort of guard over the past week and have even ended up in better half guard positions.

Any time you open your guard to attack, you are now in open guard.
If you have no open guard game, then passing you is trivial when the attack fails.
Its going to take a lot of time, but you have to develop at least some open guard to be able to prevent passes when you go for an attack.

The guard is a very diverse postion in jiu jitsu and is a great place to begin getting good at.

What you have to keep in mind is that anytime you open your guard you are opening up the opprotunity for it to get passed.

What you have to do first while playing guard is make sure you are controling a persons posture. If they are postured up and you open your guard and shoot for a triangle then you have a high chance of getting your guard passed.

Alot of attacks from the guard reguire the opponents posture to be broken down so keep that in mind as you move forward in your guard journey.

just counting calories isnt going to "cut it".

haha pun intended!

send me your email in a pm and I'll send you some info on safe weight cutting.

---

the short version here:

colon cleanse. couple o pounds of poop to be lost there.

water weight. drink two gallons of water for two weeks then cut it down to the occasional sips for the last week. this will trick your body into pissing more water than it needs to. I've dropped 12 lbs using this method alone.

lots more tips in the grapplers guide to sports nutrition.

best to leave the sweat suits and the plastic trash bag outfit in the garbage bin.

Just keep doing what you're doing and listen to your instructor.

My advice is dont expect (at this point) to keep anyone in your guard at all, they'll pass it.. especially the blues/purples/browns you mentioned.
Just try and pair up with a white belt the same level as you and PLAY jiu-jitsu. Have fun with it and when you get the chance to roll with the higher belts and your instructor ask them questions, they'll be able to help you the most.

Sooo im a whitebelt and for somereason i just like putting people in my guard. I feel more comfortable, I love setting up the armbar, going for triangle, sweeps ect... the only problem is that when I go for these things alot of the better jiujitsu players(better whites, blue, purple, and browns) pass my guard so easily. I wanna perfect my guard so its harder to pass. Any tips or videos? Alot of my classmates say my guard is getting a lot better.

Maia has to force a ground fight or get knocked out trying. If he does stand toe to toe, its going to be a very short fight. Silva is one the best strikers around, even lazy. Why didnt Nate get a shot at Silva, or did i miss something?

Good job Humbleone.

The addictive aspect of BJJ really makes it easy to try harder outside of the gym. I think its one of the reasons why i like it so much as well. If i don't eat that extra piece of pizza or if i get water instead of pop i feel like ill perform better. It really does help.

So when i started in on my BJJ journey, i searched every inch of the internet for hrs and hrs looking for tips for white belts. i watched lots of videos and read lots of articles. One thing that i kept seeing was Position before submission. Its seemed obvious enough, of course you want to be in position before you go for a submission, but i totally missed the real point. I thought that hey i can throw subs from any position.

So in my first couple classes i was rolling and trying things. I got close many times but either got swept or reversed or whatever, 9.5 times out of 10 it wasnt working. Even when i was really close. I didn't really understand why they were not working very well.

Then the other day i was reading Renzo Gracie and John Danahar's book "Mastering Jujitsu" and i think i figured it out. This information really put things in perspective for me so i thought i would share for anyone who didn't quite get it like i didn't at first.

Renzo talks about Positional Hierarchy. He sais...

Quote:

If the top man is in a dominant position, then the bottom man is in a inferior position. The more dominating the top man's position the more inferior the bottom man's position. Thus the list goes two ways, starting with the perspective of the fighter in the top position, working down to neutral positions (where neither the man on the top nor the one on the bottom has a decisive advantage), down to the increasingly bad positions of the fighter on the bottom.

He lays it out like this...

Top-rear mounted position
Bottom-rear mounted position
Mounted Position
Knee-on-belly position
Side-control position
Turtle Position
Half-guard position
Guard Position
Half-guard position
Turtle Position
Side-control position
Knee-on-belly position
Mounted Position
Bottom-rear mounted position
Top-rear mounted position

This is when it started to make sense for me. The higher you go on the list, the less stress you have and the more stress your opponent has. Therefore the higher you go up the list the more likely to gain a submission and the more likely your opponent is to make a mistake allowing you a submission.

So what i figured was, work your way toward the top of the hierarchy and put greater and greater pressure on your opponent untill he makes a mistake and gives you a submission. I was doing it backwards! Looking for submissions and leaving myself open to lose my position.

I hope this helps some new people, because it sure helped me. And if i missed something please let me know. Or feel free to add anything i missed.

i learned positions after like two classes just by reading this part of the book

So Here am i to talk about my first day at BJJ, i went to Toronto BJJ , wen i get there i received a very friendly reception, first thing, i asked one guy how give a node at belt hahahaha i had no idea, the guy , another white belt give the advice and i started the class.

I meet first Jorge Brito, who was nice and introduce me to a Purple Belt, i guess his name is Todd, becouse i had to learn some basic stuff, we went to the Cage there like UFC cage (its a cool academy) he teach me a bunch of stuff, with patience,and explaining very well. i found difficult at beginning remember all the steps for each movement, but i could complete all stuff. Now is just pratice.

After that i watched the other members class, and asked some question for the purple belt.

before get there i was very nervous becouse i dont know how to do nothing, but the reception i had, made me feel very well so i could enjoy the class.

For sure ill keep going , was very good.

So, i just have good things to say about my first experience, i feel like i want come back and train again soon as possible

So. thanks guys for all support and for sure this forum will help me a lot.

Cheers

GSP has been saying things like "IF" i have to take him to the ground and that he wants people to remember this fight. He follows those things up by saying that people are talking about his flash KO loss to Matt Sera when they talk about Hardy.

I have a feeling GSP is going to really try and lay a beating on Hardy standing up. Its obvious that GSP would dominate this fight on the ground his wrestling is insane.I'm sure hes being working on his ground game for this fight but i think GSP is working on his stand up alot.

Now GSP is not known for having the best stand up in the division but hes pretty slick. Out boxing Penn comes to mind.

I cant wait for this fight. If GSP beats Hardy standing like i think hes going to try to, they are going to have a hard time finding people that want to fight him.

How do you guy explain to people why you like BJJ?

I find myself trying to explain to people to people why i like BJJ so much. Some times its really hard.

Say the person your talking to doesn't watch MMA. They don't know who Royce Gracie is or why its so cool that he was choking people out at UFC 1 that were way bigger then him.

Or how do you respond when they say things like "So you go to a gym and get your joints wrenched open and your throat is sore from being choked with what? A GI? someones choking you with your own shirt? And this is fun?"

How do you guys explain these things to people? Why is BJJ so great to all of you?

Locke,
I think you probably discovered my biggest weakness. I might have to set up some privates to work on guard passing.

From those videos that is where I would spend most of my time (in privates or otherwise) if I were you. Being able to consistently break and pass guard is so crucial to the top game. You were lucky to land in side control and keep it.

Keep up the work though! How long have you been training?

I think that is probably true with experience grapplers, but not so with people in a fight. Also I think it depends on if you are talking gi or not....gi there are a bunch of grips to deal with on top of the crappy positional part and most of them can help to just hold you there as well.

You're lucky its your first class. The tuesday classes are usually brutal cardio-wise. You will be taken in the cage and given a separate lesson by one of the purple belts. Good luck.

I'm in Toronto too, but I go to OpenMat (which is at Church & Bloor).

Toronto BJJ is at Christie and Bloor right? I checked out that school about a year ago and it seemed pretty good. It wasn't quite the right vibe for me, but I don't want to take away from them at all. The few students I spoke to were very welcoming and helpful.

Most importantly, welcome to your BJJ journey

Classes are always good times for me.

For the last 30 minutes of class we pair up and roll for 5 minutes and then switch and do it again until you are done with the 30 minutes. Its a great workout, but also teaches you to stay controlled. So, my only advise to you is STAY CONTROLLED. It is okay to tap and tap early and often! Last week I rolled against a noobie and had a great time working on position and letting him work on his. Then, rolled with a guy outweighing me by 80 lbs and with more training. Only got subed twice...but had a great roll and was not dying after from exhaustion (stayed controlled). Then, I ended the 30 minute roll with two guys equal to my rank and put a clinic on them. Totaled around 6-8 subs. I know exactly why. I was still fresh cardio-wise and they were gased.

Hope its a good school and you enjoy it.

Maybe I should start a new topic instead of jumping thread but zI am in the same boat...only I need to drop 4 kg (9 lbs) in 3 1/2 weeks. So I could cut like 500 calories for 3 weeks or cut serious calories this week and eat easy the next few weeks. Our MMA guys in the gym suggested I do 5 days on a protein only diet right now and roll everyday. Then eat real lean till comp day. Any other ideas? I usually come in 1 kilo over and I can usually drop it the day of in the toilet. But now it's a bit tougher.

i'm about 10 months in, so i'm still green, and frankly not very good. but i'm pretty sure the jiu jitsu player i am now would be more than the me of 10 months ago could handle. that's how i decided to start measuring my improvement. as slidey mentioned, it's really about measuring your progress against yourself.

i really started enjoying myself when i started rolling not with the mindset of "i'm going to tap this guy", but with the mindset of "i'm going to make it a pain in the butt for this guy to tap me". then i started noticing that even when someone came in that was newer than me that could tap me after a while, there were times when i sprung up fresh as a daisy, and they were huffing and puffing.

for me, at this stage, and possibly for the long term it's about little victories like these. this isn't a skill that comes easy, but i'm having a blast acquiring it, as slow as that acquisition may be.

you'll have good weeks and bad, good classes and bad. but stick with it, really put forth the effort, and you'll absolutely improve.

whats the difference between a 2 into 1 exhaust and a 2 into 2?

is there a way to take small dents out at home?

what does re-jet mean and how do I do it? is it necessary when I switch out the exhaust?

if I want to put on fork boots, how long? 6.5 inches?

does anyone know anything about old CB400As? theyre one of the only automatic bikes made by honda in the 70s. funky bike just may take me a while to convince others

whats the difference between a 2 into 1 exhaust and a 2 into 2?

---appearance only, on your particular bike.

what does re-jet mean and how do I do it? is it necessary when I switch out the exhaust?

--adjusting the fuel to air mixture. dont worry about it. your bike wont need it. before or after a new exhaust.

not sure about boot sizing but..

does anyone know anything about old CB400As?

the hondamatics are certainly unique. 400ccs wont be winning you any races. theres really no point wasting money trying to squeeze any more power out of a 400. an exhaust will be just for looks and a new exhaust note. so go with one you like the look and sound of. but dont expect a huge jump in horsepower.

If you really need to speed it up, look into dropping a 750sohc engine into it. NOW that would speed it up a bit! but would cost a lot of time, money, and knowledge that you may or may not have

other than that,
make it pretty and
ride the hell out of it!

Thanks Jack! I competed in Execitive which is the 30 plus class any where else. This was my 1st comp as a blue so I wanted to feel out the comp first. Should have just did adult,but Im very pleased with the results anyway only 2 of them went to points.. Tried to get all Subs but a "W" is a "W". My loss was a dumb move on my part and he got the sub.. I'll be playing that one back for awhile... He ended up with a straight anle lock and I kept rolling to get out and he got me stopped belly down and thats all she wrote...

My guess is that someone assumed he was downloading a pirated copy of the DVD in question. Whether or not the poster meant that, I can see how a reader might infer it.

Firday afternoon I did a private with Robert. Man was it great! did alot of positional Darce chokes. Worked some side control defense along with 50/50 defense! All in all it was a GREAT experience! If any one has the chance do it well worth the astronomical price! He really is IMO a stand up guy,no matter what Anderson Silva says...LOL! By the way I went 4-0 in gi and 5-1 in No-Gi at the Arnolds this past weekend too!

We have a blk belt Judo guy come every other week to work throws... Some are nice others I don't think would work against a "good grappler". On the other hand just ask a guy to work take downs with you. Alot of people would be happy to do that. I havent really wrestled since high school ,but now that everyone knows I went to states are always asking for input.. Another good thing to work is wrist control and getting the under hooks working from your knees... you can work this without ever really throwing the guy to the mat.. Good Luck and remember just ask!

If you get decent Judo instruction, the grip fighting aspect alone will greatly supplement your jiujitsu, even if you can't execute a textbook throw.

My standard response:

Don't worry: BJJ is difficult, so a lot of people get frustrated and demoralised. First thing to note is that the only person you should be measuring your progress against is yourself. Other people may train more often, have athletic ability, previous experience etc - although it's natural to think "damn, that guy started the same time as me, I should be as good", think instead "how would the me of today fare against the me of last month?"

Focus on a small number of techniques and concentrate on just working those in sparring. It may even just be that you steadily work one tiny part of a particular technique - perhaps where you want your hands to be at a certain point - but that all contributes to eventually getting the technique right, and in turn means you're being constructive and have a clear goal to work towards.

I also find a technique-focused method of training helps with motivation, as it's a useful way of ignoring ego: you're not thinking about 'winning' or 'losing', just making technical improvements. It doesn't matter if you get tapped along the way.

Following on from that, I'd strongly recommend keeping a training log. Personally, I've found doing so has been of massive benefit to my training: to copy what I wrote somewhere else, for a start it makes it easier to remember technique. The process of putting what you've just learned into words means you have to carefully think about exactly what you did in class. Even if your memory of it isn't that great, that will still mean you know specifically which parts you're unsure about, so can then ask your instructor next time you train.

That also helps with recollecting terminology, which I find can be a big problem in BJJ. Of course, that normally means you only learn the terminology used in your particular school, but still of benefit. Ideally, I'd like to be able to learn the most common terms used globally, as well as just in my school: it then becomes easier to search places like the net for hints and tips on specific techniques.

In addition to remembering technique, writing notes also means you can track your own progress, and identify what you feel you need to work on. As with writing up techniques, that then means you can concentrate on what went 'wrong', for want of a better word, asking your instructor and training partners how you could improve. So in effect, your notes become an action plan for the next sparring session.

Also, read this fantastic thread, if you haven't already. This is also well worth a look, as is this blog post.
