Watching so damn many fights[prementioned, 1 year] n submissions added by the book, I perhaps had them in my head already. u mean, for submission u need to do them to know them? For throws and swimming, yes. But submissions, no.
When I went to the club, yes, at first I was losing like crazy. Coz all I knew was subs( Tho I did it well; sensei didn't comment anythin. But watching didnt get me position before submissions.
6mths later my sole gap is patched up. Now I am consistently winning Organge belts 20 pds heavier than me[pple who trained 1.5yrs]. So my 1 year was better doing wat I did, than 'training'
And ya, keyholes n kimuras r not relevant to modern MMA
In summary, 2 pts:
1]U can learn submissions by watching. Tell me y not? U need not have 'sense of balance' small adjustments to make it better slightly r there, but these u can pick up eventually.
2]It is better to learn 1 thing at a time. Like someone else on sherdog mentioned the other time, judo or bjj, better than mixing up everything.
N for your slightly misinformed mind, TJJ is about the same as bjj. .5 hr warmup, 1 hr coaching, then 20mins rolling(less compared to bjj, I know). But there is a guy who apparently went to a seminar by Renzo b4. I caught him in a guillotine, he slipped out into side mount..we didnt hav time to complete. My instructor is a judo blackbelt too
Of course, all these w/o me meeting u r just, u say 1 thing, I say my view etc.wont prove anything But I m a fast typer n I limited my reply to 10 mins n made it
I've done Judo and BJJ myself. Brown in one, blue in the other.
Why do you think it is that people always say that BJJ guys are better on the ground than Judo guys?
In an average Judo month, I spent as much time training subs as I do in a class of BJJ. Why would you think watching a years worth of MMA could possibly make you better with subs than someone that actually TRAINS subs.
I shouldn't even waste my time responding to you, as you lost all credibility with your "you don't need to do them to know them" comment, and you burried yourself all the further with your "TJJ is the same as BJJ" bullshit.
You obviously have no idea what in the world you are talking about, as other posts of yours have shown. How old are you?
My instructor has his black in TJJ. My first instructor had his black in TJJ and Judo, and had plenty of BJJ experience. The arts are all very different, and anyone that thinks you can leanr ANY of them without actually practicing them and being instructed in them is a fool.
Why do we live roll?
Why do the announcers someties point out holes in even the pros games?
thecas, you need to reevaluate the nonsense that comes out of your mouth. Your grammar degrading to "IM speak" in your response does as little to show your level of maturity and understanding as your claims.
Three questions:
1) How old are you?
2) Have you ever tried a BJJ class?
3) How many nights a week do you "train"?
