Man, listen... I love JJ. Then, I love the Mundials and the ADCC more than Pride or UFC or K-1 or even football (excluding Barca - Real :wink: ). I saw an ADCC fight more than 30 times (and everytime I see it different and learn new things). Then, I love MMA when the fighters involve in ground fighting (cause I understand what's going on... even when somebody doesn't understand a guy's attempt for an armbar only from his hips movement). This is the true beauty in a fight for me: to see spectacular ground fighting. This means I like a concept. I guess it's more childish to cheer for a fighter. Is he your relative? Do you bet on him? Is him your idol? I say BJJ all the way even when Schembri looses, but doesn't stall. Cause then I can learn from him.flamenco diablo said:Ok Tudor. Now you're the closest thing I've seen to a BJJ fan boy in a long while. You don't cheer for a fighter, you cheer for a style... And that's childish. Do you also say BJJ all the way when Schembri loses? Or boxing all the way when Bustamante gets in the right hooks?
I wish I could have seen better how did he work from that position. I always have a difficult time pulling the armbar from that one.Big Red said:His armbar was weird, it didn't seem like he had it in. But the transition & way he poped his was beautiful.

I have the fight, but the camera angle it's not perfect...Big Red said:Try finding that kids Bushido 9 HL if its still around, I;m sorry, I forgot the guys name who made it but it was good. He had a weird guard, we have used it in training to get a leg sub from guard, I'm unware of the position name. He dropped his legs to the back & inside of Suda's legs & then just popped his hips & on to one side. It was awkward because Suda fell into the ropes, but he eventually subbed him.
I too struggle with armbar from guard & I get frustrated as I love armbars.
