Just in case anyone is interested, the new range is live :-)
Any feedback is always appreciated.
Cú gi in Navy is absolutely savage! Shame it's out of stock.
Like the rashguard too, but not a fan of the ogham stone writing down the middle of the stomach area.
I like your casual wear too. You've avoided that cheesy style you see a lot of jiujitsu brands use where everything is some hiiiilarious pun.0 -

The Cú is in stock, we just haven't got it over to the warehouse, should be live in a few days. It's my personal fav.
We do have a few puns in the tees, nothing too cheesy though :-) The thumbs up for armbar's is probably the cheesiest... but it's subtle.0 -

It's like saying which is better to cycle, a racer or mountain bike. You wont know which you prefer until you try them both and training in both will always improve your ability to cycle anyhow.
Personally I slightly prefer nogi, I think it flows better but at a higher level, the difference starts becoming more pronounced... this may be my wife projecting through me as she hates washing the gi's
That's brilliant, a gi manufacturer prefers nogi!

You'd think they would have splashed out for a model.
What's with the ugly ass OAP's?Cú gi in Navy is absolutely savage! Shame it's out of stock.

Whilst I think they are immensely skilled, I am just not into this kind of BJJ. I guess it's kind of similar to how I think the likes of Alonso/ Keane/ Zidane are better footballers than the likes of Ronaldo. I prefer a functional and simplistic approach over fancy schmancy stuff.
I think it's hard to argue that it's not functional given his competition record
We've lads in the gym that play that DLR, RDLR, Berimbolo style game and it's incredibly effective but I always feel like I have a chance to get out and start my own game.
When someone hits you with that unrelenting miserable top pressure type of thing - good luck.
That's what I want. That unrelenting pressure type of a game. It doesn't help that I absolutely suck at it though. :pac:0 -

To quote Renzo, "take that spinning **** and shove it up your ass!!" lol
Love the new range btw, and i also only just now got the pun with the thumbs up armbar t-shirt Thats good..thats damn good lol. Might treat myself to something from the new line if i EVER make it back to training. Going on 4 months now and my chest is still bollixied. I was able to do 10 minutes light on a treadmill last week tho so maybe i can get back to training soon. 0 -

Polaris previews (similar to embedded) have started.
Jake Shields casually mentions beating Woodley in MMA.
Really looking forward to Shields v Craig Jones. Shields fought Kit Dale last weekend, I didn't see it but apparently there was some popping when Kit attacked a toehold at the end. Shields lasted to the bell and got the ref's decision. I'd imagine that ankle is a big target now for Craig.0 -

I agree that for some it will work, but it's something I feel is suited to a much higher level of experience such as brown or BB where you have all the other tools to fall back on if it fails. I see blue belts doing it and it doesn't work. There is nothing wrong with the fundamentals of DLR, RDLR or X Guard, I use them a lot as I like a half guard/ deep half guard and I also mix a bit of 10th planet in with that, but I use the functional aspects of it it to suit my game.
Walk before you run, learn the basics and learn them well and then explore that.Love the new range btw, and i also only just now got the pun with the thumbs up armbar t-shirt Thats good..thats damn good lol.

Yeah it's subtle like the 'Neon' Knee on belly, just wanted to keep the new range subtle. Thanks for the 'thumbs up' :-)0 -
