Just keep watching. You don't have to do everything he says or not do everything he says. Take what you need from it. Also keep in mind that he's talking about sport jiu jitsu on those early dvds. He wasn't doing mma at that point, and the rubber guard was made for mma so it's kind of 2 different things.Quote:

In the words of a wise man, eat the meat, spit out the bones.Quote:

The clinching game don't work at the high levels? Vinny clinched Werdum in the rubber guard and swept him. Gary Tonon is a mad clincher, he played prison guard off his back in ADCC and almost beat Kron.
The red destroyer destroyed all 3 of his opponents at the ADCC trials with his clinching. Geo is a clincher, watch what he does in 2014.
Ryan has got some great Jiu Jitsu moves but he's dead wrong about few things. But who's right about everything? No one :-)
Oh you don't have to convince me. I'm SOLD on 10th. Just trying to find things to tighten up Cora's triangle game because 2014 is going to be HUGE for her. All that she has done and learn is only from 1 yr of being on the system. I can't imagine how she will be like if we have another full year of the Warm Ups, MTS, and with the Advance Rubber Guard book also.... MIND BLOWN!!!Quote:

Make sure you take the time to learn how to do those things with proper form, though, Bruce. The last thing you want is to have her bust up her knees or lower back. It happens a lot when people lift with poor form.Quote:

For 2014, these are all in my plan. You will see a huge change in her. Get more flexible and stronger is the goal. I'm in the process of welding monkey bars to hang on my garage ceiling. Will get more strength and conditioning tools also.Quote:

Between her gym training and me teaching her 10thplanet system, I don't think we have any time for other outside training. Since your system incorporate a lot of catch wrestling, I'm hoping that is enough so that we just focus on JJ. I was watching Marcelo video where he say that if you want to get good at JJ, just train JJ.Quote:

The only reason I didn't get 1st because this other kid bench 300 lbs!!! Yes at 128 lb division. I'm no stranger to lifting weights, but I don't think I will let Cora train as hard as I did. Don't want to stun her growth you know...:)Quote:

I understand your hesitance to not add weight. More than stunting growth it can lead to joint compression and degeneration. Everything in our body reacts well to more weight except cartilage. Anyway, gymnasts and acrobats are the strongest and most agile lb for lb. There isn't one muscle group that can't be fully and functionally worked by our own gravity. This is just my opinion.
Here is another one. If you don't figure four you legs on the samurai, you only have one bent leg to drive him over and down with. In your own weight class all good, but if he's heavier and ready to counter, you're gonna need that other leg to drive and take the strain away from your lcl. I've seen 'em pop and almost felt mine almost go before.
Great post, homie.Quote:

I very much support buying DVD's from guys who put out such quality content, such as the likes of ryan, eddie, reillly bodycomb, etc although often I have to "borrow" copies from friends to keep my collection complete as well since often these sets range into the hundreds... If anyone ever needs to 'borrow' a copy of something to check it out to see if its worthwhile before a purchase, let me know... I am also always looking for seminar footage to add to my library, if anyone has any video of ANY instructor of any rank in any system teaching that they wouldn't mind being shared with me(and not redistributed past me), please hit me up as I am a collector and looking to get any thing I can to add to the collection.
I agree 100%. Full range of motion is very important. Every lift possible use the maximum range of motion into a stretch pretty much, even if you must lower the weight a little. Range of motion is EXTREMELY important for dynamic strength....jiujitsu.Quote:
