    any love for angled bags?

    My guess is it should be fine? I suspect most people are actually a bit less than 137cm from jaw to calf when they're actually in their stance. (And since I don't fight any more and am basically getting this bag to stay in shape...)

    any love for angled bags?

    Been prowling old posts because I've been considering an angle bag (e.g. https://www.nakmuaywholesale.com/fairtex-super-angle-heavy-bag-hb13/): But it seems the few times they've been mentioned, they've been kind of ignored. I don't want a separate station for uppercuts and I don't want a...

    uppercut ring / uppercut donut

    Hi, I'm considering buying an uppercut ring/donut for my home setup, as pictured here: https://www.amazon.ca/Punching-bag-Uppercut-Ring-Donut/dp/B00BKCYWME/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=uppercut+ring&qid=1609957918&sr=8-3 Has anyone ever used one? I have a regular (long) heavy bag. I want to do...

    why are white/blue gis "traditional"?

    Okay, I get why camo or pink might be considered a little flamboyant for some academies. But I was just telling my girlfriend that our instructor was telling us that only white/blue gis will be allowed from now on. Her: Why? Me: Because, idk, he's a bit more traditional I guess. Her: And black...

    What does it mean to "posture", anyway?

    We hear this word so much. You probably can't go five minutes at a BJJ tournament without some coach screaming "POSTURE! POSTURE!", especially when someone is in closed guard. Black belts preach it, white belts do too, whether or not they understand it. What do people actually mean when they...

    I'm fighting this guy, how would you game plan? (video)

    Thanks! Agree on undersized - I am not exactly huge for the weight class but it felt like a massive difference. I wonder if he will drop to strawweight.

    I'm fighting this guy, how would you game plan? (video)

    You know, this fighting stuff is so much different than sparring. I do not remember getting hit at all, but I do remember the crowd cheering very excitedly (he was from the gym that was putting this fight on). So I immediately thought, "he must have hit me good, everyone is so loud!" But I...

    I'm fighting this guy, how would you game plan? (video)

    Thanks all! I won! Not exactly what I had planned - ended up being mostly on the ground - but it was a first-round win with no damage taken, so hard to be unhappy. (Sorry about vid quality, it was "girlfriend corner cam" and the fight was in a barn in Manila.) Size was such a big issue, more...

    I'm fighting this guy, how would you game plan? (video)

    Lot of good stuff here. I'll plan on lots of feints, then cutting off the cage using my hands. The clinch should be my world. Thanks a lot guys. Time to battle the next 36 hours! The event begins at wsofgc.com at 7pm in Manila (4am Pacific, 7am Eastern, 11am GMT).

    I'm fighting this guy, how would you game plan? (video)

    Oh man. If this works, I'm totally jumping on the mic and saying "some guy on the internet named 'fightingrabbit' told me to throw that". Epic.

    I'm fighting this guy, how would you game plan? (video)

    MMA fight, pro rules (elbows, but no kicks to head of grounded opponent I believe). Yeah it's a bit late notice but hey, always good to get the brain thinking about what to do, and have a method to the shadowboxing I'll be doing over the next few days. Thanks for the responses!

    I'm fighting this guy, how would you game plan? (video)

    (Blue trunks, winner by KO) (Blue trunks again, winner by armbar). That's the video I could find on my opponent, whom I am fighting on Saturday. Short-notice fight so not too much time to prepare, although I'm replacing a teammate and I'm in shape. About me: I'm bigger than he is. He is a...

    Lucas Leite: The Half Guard

    This is really one of the best technical threads I've ever seen on f12. Would love to see you break down the knee slice defences in more detail if you ever get the time/inclination. I love playing the Lucas half but there are two roadblocks I get hit with consistently: the...

    The best S&C coach in the US?

    I'm curious to think whom you guys think are on the cutting edge of S&C for MMA in the United States. Obviously Joel Jamieson is well-respected around these parts for good reason. Are there many others like him? I've also been looking at Robert Forster's stuff, as well; he works with Joe Warren...

    Thai clinch + MMA- Does it hold up against grapplers?

    I would really recommend watching Round 5 of Demetrious Johnson/John Dodson for a great wrestler-vs-wrestler Thai clinch clinic. After Round 4 you can hear Matt Hume calling for DJ to get to the Thai clinch and you can see why. DJ is dominant there landing dozens of clean strikes, but he was...

    GoPro to record techniques?

    No, I'm not going to be that guy who straps a GoPro to his head while he rolls, boxes, uses the toilet or whatever stupid thing. I'm talking about using a GoPro to record technique. If you're anything like me, you'll go to class, learn some technique, then a few weeks later you'll be like...

    double under pass

    Scary moment yesterday in class. I didn't see it because I was rolling myself, but apparently a brown belt was passing the guard of a purple belt with a double under pass, somehow in the mix the purple belt got dropped on his head and was down for a very lengthy period of time while the class...

    Best submissions to fend off sexual assault?

    You shouldn't be teaching submissions for this purpose. butterfly -> post on shoulder -> feet on hips -> technical standup -> get outta there

    John Danaher on Digitsu

    John Danaher secrets *and* money going to a good cause? I'm embarrassed it took me an entire 3 seconds to decide to whip out my credit card.

    I bought this, and I live in Vegas. If you are a fellow Ryan Hall nerd who also lives here and want to watch this with me and drill moves, DM me. PS I'm not a weirdo. PPS Don't be a weirdo, please.
