I p...I love it too for many of the same reasons! <br /><br />I particularly like the fitness without drudgery. <br /><br />I also like the cameraderie, hanging out with a bunch of other guys who just get it. Not everyone understands why we like BJJ, but you just know when someone gets it. <br /><br />I like the strategy, trying to figure out why the techniques I catch everyone else with doesn't work on *this* guy. What's he doing different?<br /><br />I like the fact that performance and fun are valued over etiquette and formality.Stevehttp://www.stevebjj.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-54030703828210904672010-06-23T03:55:30.357-05:002010-06-23T03:55:30.357-05:00First thing I read this morning, great start to my...First thing I read this morning, great start to my day :)Meerkatsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04147715586194844173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-57866264400402313172010-06-23T03:21:03.340-05:002010-06-23T03:21:03.340-05:00It's very scary that my right knee is a bit te...It's very scary that my right knee is a bit tender and we worked deep half guard yesterday!!<br /><br />I'm planning on pioneering BJJ in Antarctice within a couple years.

Good stuff. I haven't been doing this ...Nice. Good stuff. I haven't been doing this long enough to know exactly why I've become so stinkin' addicted to this sport, but I liked reading your thoughts. <br /><br />BTW, I rolled with a much smaller gal yesterday (blue belt). She had me in deep half guard and I couldn't extract my thigh to bring my knee outside of her thighs. I COULDN'T muscle it. So I applied a cross face and started to lay into her chin/neck a bit. I tried not to lean too hard or use too much weight. The goal was to apply just enough pressure to get her to let go of the deep half clinch so I could pass. She blurted..."TAP!" with a bit of an annoyed tone in her voice. I didn't attempt it as a submission and REALLY didn't realize I was muscling or using too much weight. In fact, I had backed off knowing that I could probably hurt her if not careful. I felt sooo bad. Unfortunately, a 220lb white belt doesn't have the slightest clue what it's like to have someone quite literally twice his weight bearing down. <br /><br />Question for you: Is it offensive when a guy doesn't use size/weight advantage? Do you consider that "going easy"? Or is using weight distribution and strength to advance position or apply technique different than "muscling"? Is it all part of the game? It's not a sex thing. I try to be conscious of my height/weight advantage when I'm rolling with all classmates who are much smaller than me.

And that was a great comment about muscling your way through a move(if it wouldnt work on someone 20lbs heavier...so true!) Best of luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
