[adrock3]

He was giving up mount to go for the heel hook.

[poganla123]

its like a blackbelt vs a blue belt

[FAMARSHA]

@poganla123 a blue belt would not last 10 minutes with a black belt...

[poganla123]

[FAMARSHA]

@poganla123

Let me rephrase. An average blue belt would not last 10 minutes with an average black belt. :-)

[poganla123]

@FAMARSHA ok i guess that true :)

[muzzyman73]

[poganla123]

@muzzyman73 what??



[WindyCityBlazin]

This is an insult to cyborg for having to go against this guy. Shohin is a fake!

[BradyKnight]

Gotta say, I really appreciate the commentary. Color commentary on MMA matches is what taught me the basics of BJJ long before I began training, but few BJJ matches have commentary. I feel that commentary on high-level matches would enhance viewers' understanding of what's going on, especially for people who aren't intimately familiar with the details of BJJ. It might help people who don't roll at all appreciate the strategy and technique involved, too.

@BradyKnight I dont want to be academic but this isnt BJJ ;-)

[BradyKnight]

@Ah4b I disagree. This just a different style of BJJ, one that doesn't use the gi. Of course, all that is just semantics and doesn't really matter.

[Ah4b]

@BradyKnight I know what you mean but thats not a matter of opinion. BJJ makes use of the GI, has a different history than grappling and also different rules. There are a couple of submissions that are only allowed in NOGI grappling and a few positions, some heel hook setups for example, that you are not allowed to use in BJJ because they lack an escape route for the opponent.

After all BJJ is closer to the traditional budo disciplines than grappling, in fact its quite similar to Kosen Judo.

[Ah4b]

@BradyKnight All that doesnt mean that there are large similarities but when you practice both diciplines you will also find a lot of differences. I use to compare the difference to that between the classical guitar and the electric guitar. Very similar but worlds in between them ;-)

[poganla123]

@BradyKnight same here, joe rogan's commentary ages ago made me start training brazil jiu jitsu

[galegobrasa]
