The GI is dead?

[Joseph Hachey]

There's a difference between effort and talent.

Talent is basically the effectiveness of effort. You seem to be putting in a lot of effort and spinning your wheels, so you must not have much talent.

Joseph and David, y'all should take the pecker measuring to a private message and leave the forum to civil discussion. Y'all are both being pretty ridiculous to each other.

I think he meant Gi is easier to learn at first

Yeah, Marcelo is awesome but everyone doesnt have the answers, arm triangles are foot locks are great for a lot of people

Everyone has their preferences

[Jesse Briggs]

I feel like we are all beginning to make up.

I have a novice question ,if you purposely freak out and try your hardiest in the Gi wont your opponent have fucked up fingers after?

Thats why you have to be careful about screaming from the rooftops and saying someone's word is law

"See, Marcelo says use no gi grips when training Gi! Wooooooo!!!!!"

"Oh wait, he doesnt like arm triangles and Darces? That doesnt sound right..."

[Brandon Mccaghren]

In the Rolled Up episode, Jake was the one who brought up that Marcelo uses mostly no-gi grips when he rolls and competes. Marcelo agreed. He said it was because he didn't want to confuse the students.

Marcelo's philosophies seem to be to play a very narrow game and only practice and use what he considers to be efficient techniques and strategies. Inside his academy, he seems to want to teach a wide variety of techniques and strategies. That makes sense, as you want to give your student base access to a large breadth of techniques so that they may dive in depth to the strategies of their own choosing.

That's what Eddie does. That's what I do. That's what most good instructors do in my experience.

And after Marcelo had Riccos back a bunch of times and didn't sub him, what did he sub the 250 plus lbs dude with?

A foot lock, I think it was a heel hook actually

Anybody that doesn't like arm triangles is clearly stupid.

Am I doing it right?
