Tom DeBlass going mad on FB Live ranting because Dannis posted a picture saying he's going to slap him.

He'd slap the feck out of Dannis though.

Danis is a wind up merchant and he still catches people with his social media fishing not a person alive could be that much up their own ass, I thought he made some valid points on Helwanis show last week about Marcelo wanting everyone to be like him.

Came second in Nogi at state Championships last weekend.
Lost in the final to the same guy who beat me in the gi division and he also beat me last comp. I think I found my nemesis

Roger in the Gi is a super hero.

Where is a good place to buy a BJJ gi? Preferably somewhere with a size chart.

Anybody got video of Roger Buchecha? My (admittedly short) search only threw up vertical shaky can stuff

Im due a new Gi. My old one is swimming on me these days. Will decide in a few weeks (I'll drop some Birthday hints ). But Wolfhound is currently first choice.
Is there much difference between the Gaiscioch and the Púca?

One is patched, the other embroidered - both the same weave/ weight/ cut. I personally prefer the Puca but I'm not a big fan of patched gi's. If you're ordering, don't forget to use the boardsie code :-)

Chairman Meow

I have the Puca and i think sometimes the main reason i havent quit BJJ altogether is because i love wearing that ****ing thing so much!! I might not be an actual badass, but you certainly feel a bit badass in it

I see Tom Halpin was promoted to Black Belt by Cyborg in Miami today. Congrats to Tom.

I think I'd lean towards the patched gis. Obviously not huge ignorant patches, just normal ones. Embroidery is good too, but I do be concerned that the gi will be too stiff around there. Plus certain comps (IBJJF, UAEJJF) are really strict on gis. Tearing off a patch is easier than embroidery if you have to.

Mellor

I normally don't pay much attention to "look hoe great this kid is at bjj. But holy shït, this little girl from AOJ is legit.

Hi,

Just wondering if you guys could offer some advice. I was rolling last night with a blue belt (I’m a white blue) and he caught me in an ankle lock (after our coach told us specifically not to use leg/ankle locks) anyway I tapped and we go again. This time he gets me in a heavy wrist lock (which still hurts this morning). I told him to relax and to take it easy and we go again. He still didn’t let up so I got a rush of blood to the head and powered through his guard and “surfed” his bridge attempts for the rest of class, using the dark arts to make it uncomfortable for him. Question is do I avoid this guy completely going forward or I’m I just being sensitive and that I should just get on with it. A part of me is telling myself that all is fair in love and war and all that but at the same time we are team mates and he is a blue belt surely he should know which locks are dangerous.

What does the coach say about ankle locks? Personally I don't like them and always afraid someone will spaz out and move incorrectly and end up been hurt before I can release.

Wrist locks are ok at blue so you might as well learn to not leave your hands where they can be easily manipulated.

If it was me I'd roll with him again but I'd be using really heavy knee on belly to control and digging my elbows into his ribs to make things uncomfortable for him if he's still an ass.

Tell him to take it easy if you choose to roll with him again, if he still doesn't let up just avoid him during rolling. Strange that a blue belt is that way, unless he's trying to prove that he's the macho guy that won't be beaten by a belt below him.

At the end of the day if he's unwilling to change and hurts you that's valuable time you'll end up missing from training.

Gamebred

Should be no wrist locks (at them belts anyways) in training because once their on its nearly too late, break a wrist before someone can tap, just learn the game use it as a way of working your ankle lock defences and slap one on him then, is the coach not watching the rolls at all to see this going on?

just one of the lads got injured in a competition recently so he wants people to careful about when they are used (slow roll is his preference or against more experienced practitioners). I take your point about the wrist locks so I should just move on??

Sometimes he joins in at the end of a class, it was the last roll of the night.. thats what I thought it was a sharp pain, I know I am expected to get hurt but I didnt sign up to get my wrist broken. So I should avoid him for the time being?

MagicIRL

You're not expected to get hurt, that's why we tap early and often . Your grown adult ffs, just tell the chap "Nah, not this time pal" and walk away or take a breather. It's not life or death.

Christ Almighty.

Just tell him to go easy. If he grabs your wrist/ankle and your not comfortable tap straight away. Once he eases up the pressure ask him to do it again but slow because you want to see if you could escape/prevent it.
