My all time favorite, has to be the "shadow boxing" warm up. nothing like getting the hips and shoulders loose for striking when you are in a grappling comp.........

I've see a few beginners get hurt pretty bad before. It's funny cause they want to get a flying arm bar cause it looks cool, but have no concept of ANY guard pass.Quote:

This was the case at my last comp over two years ago. Amateur mma which mean't no head shots. Anyway, after hitting me in the face 4 times, he finally got a warning from the ref. My opponent, the ref, the judges were all from the same gym.Quote:

+1....+2 if I'm allowed. There's a video on here somewhere of a guy getting a beautiful old school into side control and the ref gave him no points because he said it was an "invisible guard." I would have been PISSED about not getting the 2 points for the pass and 3 points for side control.Quote:
