Not sure if this will work, but I think it's worth a shot.
Can we make this a thread for links to vids of subs/passes/etc that we all stumble upon to see if anyone else has done the same thing? Maybe we can all acid-test them to see how viable they are and pass ideas/counters/observations back and forth. The intent would NOT be to show moves we all already know (lockdown, darce, etc).
Anybody think this is a good idea?
We do this from time to time. Example vid?
Working on getting it uploaded...
I suggest as a white belt and blue belt focus on the basics, all to often people are worried about trying to invent something, which is starting to become a trend here. There is a huge diffrence between having an "open mind" and having a "mind wide open".
Spend your time (YEARS) on tested, proven techniques. Become proficient at them. Then work on the exploratory side of Jiu Jitsu, you'll have a solid foundation and understanding by then so you have a general idea if its going to work or not, so you won't have to ask other white belts there opinion on a technique.
While I completely agree with this, and the Bruce Lee theory of daily decrease not increase, I work out things mostly on my own I'm hoping that if I (or someone else) stumbles upon something that has already been explored and found to be a bad idea I won't waste time working on it. I don't have crazy leg dexterity, so I'm not chasing down the next bizarre "WTF?!?!" move.Quote:

I thought you meant debatable vids from credible instructors. Your tech is seriously flawed with unatural control and reaction.
Chris nailed it. Eddie has always said, "Brown affiliates or above may post tech vids."" Unless you kill with it in comp, then we'd love to see it."
Ha word Coach. I have a hard enough time with basics. Lets work on those before I start getting lost in my imagination inventing moves. See you in class tonight.Quote:

Should an admin just kill this thread?
Do you see Zog's point though? How many reps could you have put in on something legit while you were filming this vid editing uploading and posting this thread?
Reminds me of 10th Planet Watch website's technique police section when there was a high amount of new Rubber Guard stuffs popping up on youtube
RGPD!! Chief Alder!. Fun shit. I was just a baby talkin my ass off. Easy to do for me bout 10p. Any archives?
No worries. You will find that if you just play around with drills moves and subs come up all the time. First, hit in live roll, second competion and on vid. Then post, so you know for a fct you're droppin somethin.Quote:

This was a 'desperation' move I just kinda did once. I went to TN on business and got to stop by Jackson BJJ in the evenings to roll. One of the blues took my back and he was a TANK. I couldnt turn into him, but I thought about how normally really muscular guys don't work on their forearms that much so I attacked his wrist and it worked; mostly from the surprise.Quote:

Who would leave there back exposed like that while getting their guard passed?Quote:

to many trying to be chiefs and not enough trying to be warriors.
The idea wasn't for everyone to go hunting for new moves RATHER than going over what's proven to work.
The best analogy I have is if hunting for deer is drilling the basics, and you find some neat berries while you're out hunting, bring them back to camp and ask the elders if they're safe to eat.
Then they look at you and go "Berries, BERRIES! I don't want no fucking berries! Where is my deer meat?!?!?!! We have women to pick berries! If you wouldn't have been fucking off playing little Sally berry picker we would be eating back strap right now....son of a bitch. God who sent this kid out they should be castrated...(exasperated sigh)"Quote:

I might make a blog called 10th Planet Hunter and put up all the stuff people come up with even if it looks like it wouldnt work. Just to help spark my imagination. Might keep it to myself to not spread possible crappy techniques everywhere or it would need a huge disclaimer. Sorry for hijacking your thread.Quote:
