This will give you guys a good laugh. I think they had 3 people give their thoughts on MMA such as best MAs to train, conditioning, best fighter of all time, weight workouts etc.

A few things that made me laugh
One guy siad Cung Le is the best MMA fighter of all time, next to Bruce Lee.
Other guy said Ken Shamrock is the best of all time
Other guy said Matt Hughes, and then said Hughes transformed himself from being just a striker to a good Submission artist.

One guy believed Kung Fu is the best striking art for MMA, but that it takes too mcuh time to learn and that most MMA fighters have only been training for a few years os they decide to learn kickboxing becuase you can learn it so much faster.

All kinds of other great shit to read in there too.
 
Not at all like the learned and insightful analysis we find here on Sherdog, then...
 
Crack on Sherdog, whitebelts, and nuthuggery all you want, but BB.com is filled to the brim with shills, drooling morons, and fifteen year old mongoloids on prohormones.
 
Oh god, I despise that site, all my stupid pec deck hugging friends are always talking about it...not to mention the people on other less fortunate forums...

They even suggest smacking your shins with wood to condition them...

"His kicks and punches are so fast that you can't even see them" -talking about Bruce Lee lol..
 
LOL, that's good stuff. About 20 fucking upper body lifts, and just 3 lower body: The bb.com holy trinity of leg press, standing leg curl, and calf raises.
 
I like how they refer to push day as "pecs"
 
jesus h christ they fucked up. the pictures, look at the pictures. they had half-guard as "side mount", a picture of full guard, then down the page in the back mount section they have full guard as "opponent on top rear guard". "closed guard" pic is butterfly guard, or even just open guard. i think the guys in teh picture are just random dudes. in the clinch they have their fingers laced ffs. the kneebar picture, i don't even know what to say about that. who the fuck is doing a kneebar there? the "shadow boxing" pic sums up everything.

that whole paragraph i just wrote sounds like a gay porn ******.
 
Their "High Mount" picture is actually half guard/half mount. They call Rear Mount with hooks in "Grapevine" which I haven't heard before, but may be a nother term. Many other mistakes. Pretty shitty, but I guess that is what you get from a site that isn't MMA centered.
 
Yeah the bone conditioning is hilarious, they even say once you have well conditioned bones from striking them with wood or hitting hard objects, to move on and use....METAL!

Who in their fucking mind is going to kick/punch a metal pole? It reminds me of that Van Damm movie where he kicks down the palm tree or whatever it is.
 
"Bone conditioning" aka htting stuff so that your bone restructures itself with calcium and other minerals and makes itself harder and less likely to break is actually real. This was discussed in the thread about video of the guys breaking stuff. I think that repeated kicking against a heavy bag and sparring should be enough to get the effect. Also, conditioning will take time, you can't just do it for a month and expect to be able to kick anything. Last, kicking something metal is a bad idea, I agree with you there.
 
Grapevine is wrestling. Wrapping your leg/legs around the opponent's leg/legs. When you go for a pin, the grapevine makes it hard for the guy to bridge.
 
Ok, so like in the "midnight ride". Is it still referred to as a grapevine if it is from the back?
 
Gents, that is called the back mount. They are right about that...

But that head and arm triangle was fucking terrible, and the knee bar was pathetic. I was scrolling too fast to look at every other fuck up...

Matt Hughes was primarily a striker though. You guys didn't know that? The UFC just said wrestling for the hell of it...

They actually called the NCAA and made them put Matt's name on the All American list, and they did a few times...

Money goes a long way...

I was referring to it being called grapevine from the back in the world of wrestling. "Midnight Ride" is from wrestling. I think we all know that it was rear/back mount.

I think it's anything that involves wrapping your leg around the opponent's, but I'm not sure. Perhaps a more experienced wrestler will know
 
The grapevine that is noted on bb.com would be a double leg ride in wrestling, more of a stalling move than an offensive one. You can get called for stalling pretty quickly, since it doesn't really do anything except hold him there.

About the move where your opponent is lying on his back instead, I have heard of it as the grapevine, the iron cross, the honeymoon, the torture rack, the barbed wire, and the Saturday Night Ride. Personally, I like the name barbed wire. I wouldn't think that it would be that productive while fighting since pinning doesn't mean shit.

Also, those wrestling pictures were terrible. You don't shoot from standing straight up, and what they said was an ankle pick was a low single, which is nothing like an ankle pick. The rest of the pictures were just shotty.
 
Thanks for the clarification. I once got leg ridden by a guy in wrestling and had no idea what it was and had never seen it before. He went from a double leg ride to a body triangle. The pressure on my stomach from the triangle sucked bad, I literally yelled out and thought I was going to puke and or shit myself. Luckily I twisted out of it and pinned the bastard.
 
i hate that article. and i hate the guys in it. i think they posed for those photos because they like to hold each other. they don't seem to know any of the basic positions or submission or anything about training for mma, so i think they just like to hold each other and post pics on the internet.

not that there's anything wrong with that mind you....just don't call it mma.

*raaa*
