Sorry if I seem like I'm selling something.. I'M NOT.
Please enjoy.
Will check this out.
Thanks. I really hope you enjoy.
The word of mr kurzy bookmarking
thats intense, and i can see how that could help with pulling your opponent into you and getting the motion of hitting the triangle

I have a whole series on my youtube. These triangles are step #3. They help tremendously.Quote:

Liked the page man. Looking forward to seeing some cool stuff. Always interested in improving my flexibility even more.
Show Queens, NY, some love. Whitestone/Bayside. 17 years of strength training. I teach BJJ athletes to weigh as little as possible, while having the strength of someone twice their size. I wish I could train with you. Respect.Quote:

I think sometimes there's a need to be too specific. Specific training comes from actual training, time in the gym should be spent getting stronger, faster and fixing mobility issues.
The various triangles on the ring are meant to improve mobility and muscle memory (for when you have no partner), but most importantly, to build the strength to float your body through space. You CANNOT throw effective triangles (or most submissions) from flat on your back, connected to the mat. You must have active hips, that can freely move through space. Ryan Hall puts it best, that many triangles must be thrown in a way that replicates a snake striking at its pray. Being able to overcome gravity in a controlled manner, from the hang, will make overcoming gravity, from the mat, almost too easy. Work even the basics in for about a month, and tell me how they have helped. I just appreciate you taking interest.Quote:

Throw some ring triangles. You were planning on doing some bicepts for the ladies? Smack yourself, then do some ring triangles.Quote:

There are options, especially options that allow more success, with less damage.
Example: One leg One arm deadlifts are one of the best tools for injury prevention, will absolutely work you with relatively light, safe weights, and can be done the day after an extremely heavy deadlift session.
another perfect example would be Pistol squats. I cannot barbell squat everyday (I only front squat, reason if requested) but I can, and do, pistol squat EVERYDAY. They have revolutionized my life in terms of injury Prehab and Rehab, flexibility, and mobility, all while building extreme strength that never over taxes me and hinders my jiu jitsu training. I regularly, ass to heel pistol squat with a 70lbs racked kettlebell. This is far more difficult than barbell squatting double my body weight, yet I can pistol squat everyday, and feel invigorated. We're I to heavy barbell squat everyday, I'd be a crippled mess. I work "weight room strength" twice a week, and I am Traditionally strong because of it. BUT, I work 1 leg 1 arm deadlifts, pistol squats, clean & jerks, pull ups, and get ups everyday. It requires less than 20 minutes, will never get you sore, and will build strength, injury prevention, and mobility that will take your jiu jitsu to new heights.
SO, do I recommend this INSTEAD of heavy, traditional barbell strength? Absolutely not. BUT, I would not do that more than twice a week, especially not if you train jiu jitsu full time every week.
STRENGTH SHOULD IMPROVE YOUR JIU JITSU, WHILE TAKING NOTHING AWAY. I AM SIMPLY SHARING TECHNIQUES THAT CAN BE DONE TO ADD TO YOU STRENGTH TRAINING, WHILE ALSO ADDING TO YOUR JIU JITSU.
Thanks for the feed back.
Well I agree with you about the need to strike like a snake in a lot of circumstances. I also can see how the ring exercises could be somewhat beneficial, for leg muscle memory and basic leg/eye coordination.
But when you're rolling nogi, you are attacking most times from your back with only your opponent to hang onto (if at all). So I can also see the possibility of those rings having a detrimental effect on triangles because you are basically drilling them over and over with anchors in each hand, instead of drilling by shooting off the floor with your body.
Don't get me wrong, I am open to anything that will (or may) improve my JJ game and if I ever end up near a pair of rings I will surely try this drill out. I'm just saying that if a person was to do this exclusively and often they might develop some bad habits. Maybe.
The only thing a grappler should do exclusively (if he had to choose one) is GRAPPLE.Quote:

Wrap a fat rope around a pole, leg and hip raise, and throw triangles from a dragon flag position. Want to work triangles from inverted guard? A floor length thai bag is perfect for that...and flying triangles as well. The possibilities are endless.
These are fun ways to learn, strengthen, and improve through play. PLAY is the key. Having fun is essential to long term success.
As a grappler, 90% of your time should be spent Grappling. In a perfect world, 100%. But, this isnt always possible. Think of what I share as ways to get better when you cant roll, deadlift, squat, push, or pull. They are spices on the meal.
I'm really glad you are interested. Thank you for the questions.
Anything available for us overseas, as in a web based product or something?Quote:
