Brabo Choke Homework: Trigger Position: The time I want to show how I’ve redefined the trigger position for myself and what this means to how I’m getting the choke. For the longest time, I thought of the brabo as only being available when they underhooked me. This is how it’s taught from half guard and when they escape side control. So the trigger position I came up with was “they underhook, I whi ... Read More at MartialFighter.com

The BJJ Master Text: Has anyone read this? I'd like to get a fairly comprehensive BJJ book, because the problem I have right now is that even once I pull guard on someone or gain mount, I often don't know what to do with them once I get them there (besides of course punch them in the face :twisted:). I know the basic stuff (triangle, armbar, kimura, etc.), but I'd like to expand my repertoire a little bit so I can m ... Read More at MartialFighter.com
Opp to experience Capoeria: I have an oppourtunity to experience Capoeria first hand. Not just being a by stander, watching. A co-worker's boyfriend trains in Cap and has invited me to watch them play and, if I want, to join them. I am kinda nervous though. His Mestre from Rio came up to Toronto. I was wondering if any of you Cap guys heard of Mestre Derli? He will be leading the class. Any info wil ... Read More at MartialFighter.com
Brabo Choke Homework: Crossing the Arm: The next point to cover is how to deal with their underhooking arm. Like in the triangle, you want to cross their arm. Also like the triangle, it’s not completely necessary, but it’s best form, the cleanest technique and makes for the smoothest finish. They can use that arm to create a little space (so their shoulder doesn’t squash into their neck), or they can do ... Read More at MartialFighter.com
Bigger Opponents in Jiu Jitsu: In my jiu jitsu class we always partner up with someone and with stick to that partner for the rest of the day. The problem is that in my class everyone is about 180 pounds or heavier (except for two 14 year olds that always stick together). My usual partner (also a good friend) is about 190-195 where I am about 135. Are there any tricks to help cope with the weight advantage, I constantly feel li ... Read More at MartialFighter.com

Need some help with my training...?: Based on the "900" form questions and answers given, is it safe to say then that shaolin do is not actually a style unto itself but rather several martial arts taught at once? What I am understanding here is that you learn a great many forms then pick and choose what to specialize in; ie- tai chi, baguazhang etc... -bamboo Well how many CMA schools teach their external ...

Grappling injuries: What should I look out for as a noob? I already have loads of injuries from standup and now I have added to it with what is feeling like a muscle tear on my ribs. There is no visible bruising but my ribs ache like hell after rolling with a heavy guy on the weekend. Any advice on how to care for my ribs as well as what other common BJJ injuries to look out for in future would be appreciated. Wha ... Read More at MartialFighter.com
Anyone know about this style of JJ?: http://www.turtlepress.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=261 I posted it here in the grappling section instead of the japanese martial arts section because it looks like a muay thai and bjj hybrid more than anything else. Plus it mention vale tudo training which I believe no traditional jiu-jitsu s ... Read More at MartialFighter.com

If so, any pics or help would be appreciated. I'm playing it over and over in my mind and it seems do-able. I still think that I'm overlooking something though. ... Read More at MartialFighter.com
