Title: i tapped my bjj teacher yesterday :(
Post by: slippediskmountian on February 28, 2006, 08:22:29 AM: ive been working with this guy for about a year and a half, and he must have tapped me about 1000 times by now ... hes a huge ripped purple belt (but hes also 43) .... yesterday i got his back and rolled off into armbar .... and the funny part is i feel kind of depressed about it (like the kid who surpasses his father)

i love it when we talk about our feelings!

Post by: an123 on February 28, 2006, 08:56:40 AM: You tapped him once and you think you've surpassed him? Do it consistently maybe, but come on... I've tricked a few purple belts into tapping, but they still tap me in a 2000:1 ratio :P.

Post by: an123 on March 01, 2006, 07:14:57 AM: One of the brown belts at my club was in a pissy mood yesterday. Probably tapped me 7 times in under 5 minutes. That fucker is so on my "list".

Post by: slippediskmountian on March 01, 2006, 07:22:06 AM: im doing the tourney on march 26 .... and im thinking of dropping down to 170! .... ill be a friggen manchild at that weight ;D
Title: Re: i tapped my bjj teacher yesterday :(
Post by: an123 on March 01, 2006, 08:34:16 AM: Yeah, but that is the most popular weight division so you'll get a lot of quick/small guys. Will you be doing beginner or intermediate?
Title: Re: i tapped my bjj teacher yesterday :(
Post by: slippediskmountian on March 01, 2006, 08:59:21 AM: beginner is <1.5 years in this tournament ... so i can do it next year too!

im only 180 now so i guess ill probably stay in the 185 (even though im giving up weight i doubt ill meet anyone in the beginners whose functionally stronger than me) .... but its so tempting to go into the 170 and pretzle em ;D
Title: Re: i tapped my bjj teacher yesterday :(
Post by: an123 on March 01, 2006, 09:12:30 AM: How can you do it next year if you've already been rolling for 1 1/2 years?

Sandbagger!
Title: Re: i tapped my bjj teacher yesterday :(
Post by: slippediskmountian on March 01, 2006, 09:15:31 AM: i've been rolling since summer 04, but that was power sans technique .... i didnt get any instruction(other than trying to mimick fedor ;D) till sep 05 ...
Title: Re: i tapped my bjj teacher yesterday :(
Post by: an123 on March 01, 2006, 09:21:55 AM: Rolling with a purple belt for a year gives you a distinct advantage. Even if he wasn't teaching you anything (which I highly doubt :P).
Title: Re: i tapped my bjj teacher yesterday :(
Post by: slippediskmountian on March 01, 2006, 09:27:13 AM: honestly, he never taught me anything (till after i learned the basics from omar) ... he liked rolling with me cause he wanted to see if he could overcome raw power with technique, thus teaching me would have been counter productive

when i began classes in september i didnt even know a basic guard pass....
Title: Re: i tapped my bjj teacher yesterday :(
Post by: armbar3 on March 01, 2006, 04:13:06 PM: The Las Vegas tourney good luck I have competed in those grapplers tourneys before and a lot of people sandbag it to win a 1st or 2nd place to win the points for their respective schools so good luck dude
Title: Re: i tapped my bjj teacher yesterday :(
Post by: slippediskmountian on March 01, 2006, 11:47:40 PM: las vegas??

this one is in mississauga (toronto) ....

i really dont think im sandbagging ... but ill talk to my instructor to be sure
Title: Re: i tapped my bjj teacher yesterday :(
Post by: an123 on March 02, 2006, 07:18:25 AM: Isn't that the final grand prix qualifier? Those are 1.5 years for beginner, and you have to end the "season" in the division you started in. So "sandbagging" wont be a problem really, after 1 1/2 years most likely you are a blue belt.
Title: Re: i tapped my bjj teacher yesterday :(
Post by: slippediskmountian on March 02, 2006, 07:56:05 AM: yep ... im hoping i can finish in the top 3 and get an invite

i can tap some blue belts, but i definately am not one ... i just happen to be ridiculously flexibly(i can do the full splits and put my legs behind my head!) and i have "retard strength" so i can out work most guys who have better skills

i still dont think im a sandbagger cause other than stalling i didnt learn anything when i trained with my boy ... youve seen the video of me rolling, did i really look like a guy with 1.5 years instruction??

a/s/l?
Title: Re: i tapped my bjj teacher yesterday :(
Post by: an123 on March 02, 2006, 08:57:09 AM: No you didn't, but with no-gi flexiblity and strength are much larger factors than pure skill. I can last a whole lot longer against the good guys at my club no-gi vs gi.

Have you been working your stand up? In those videos you had the "push hard on them and hope they fall down" technique going for ya :P.

yeah ... ive got a pretty decent single leg now, and my flexibility helps me turn it into at least half guard most of the time ... still, put me againt a wrestler and ill get schooled
Title: Re: i tapped my bjj teacher yesterday :(
Post by: an123 on March 02, 2006, 02:56:24 PM: Don't need to be able to take down a wrestler... Just need to know how they take you down so you can get yourself in a much better position.
