He's pretty smart for a big oaf of a man. ;)
Oh, and the doctorate. That could help. A little. Maybe.
Amir is about the coolest guy you could ever meet. Even though he is a nerd.
Agreed
+1. Anything happen with Amir?
Everything he has posted has been sincere and meaningful. It's amazing.
Lol. No barncat, amir is fine I'm sure. He made some very articulate and educated posts lately and Bmac (as well as myself) was kinda enjoying it.. I think we all agree Amir makes a wonderful addition to the forum.
Amir, stare off into the distance and do the pose... you know what I'm talking about! ;)
haha
Agreed!
what's a mir?
a guy that ate brocks strawberries.Quote:

Wow, thanks for the love! I have been on this forum for awhile (like 2010?) but technical difficulties prevented me from actively communicating (I was blocked for some reason). In spite of this, I feel like I know many of you, my 10th Planet brothers and sisters, fairly well. I will continue to share what little I've learned on this incredible journey we've decided to call jiujitsu.
Gunter, I'm really a little guy trapped in a big guy's body. I play rubber guard and lockdown half guard à la Eddie Bravo. My open guard is from Eric Ramey + spiral guard. My passing is Marcelo + the flyover. From side control and mount I look like a fat, slow Jeff Glover minus the triangles. Everyone will be different. You're tall and have long legs, right? Triangles will probably work well for you (mine are hideous). You can probably use the Jap necktie, guillotine, D'arce, etc., while I have never been able to pull any of those off in competition. I'm happy to discuss any technique with you.
And Mario, I'm riding off into the sunset right at this moment... even though it is 8:45am. And you know what 'riding' means in this context, Playa.
I do hit alot of guillotine and darces, got an 81 inch reach lots of knee on bellyQuote:

By the way, is it kosher by forum rules to post technique videos? The only reason I ask is because I see so few.
Amir is Ejukated and talks pretty
Brownbelts and above can i believe, so you gold homieQuote:
