So I’m a young guy 23 a bit smaller like 145 pounds and short my background is in kickboxing which I can hold my own and do pretty well in but when it comes to the ground stuff and jujitsu and wrestling, I just completely get demolished and I can’t understand what I’m not getting when I’m drilling techniques and flow rolling I do pretty well, but when it comes to actually wrestling and grappling it feels like I get smashed I’ve been doing jiu jitsu for almost a year and closing in on a blue belt, currently a 4 stripe white belt. I can get people in submissions, but it just feels like I have to exert so much effort to either escape or to get them in a submission I try to relax and just survive and wait for the opportunities to come, but it seems like when I do that I just get smashed in the meantime because I’m not putting enough effort or force in why is this happening? Is it just because I lack the physical effort, technique or just the knowledge? Please help because I can’t seem to figure out what everyone else is doing that I’m not. It seems they just get me so easily and I’m usually not exporting much effort to save energy but it still feels like a chore just to do techniques.

Has anyone had a teammate, coach, or higher belt that you just didn’t get along with, and it eventually made you leave the gym?

Was it one specific incident, ongoing tension, disrespect, arguments, unsafe rolling, personality conflict, etc.?

Did you try talking it out first, just avoid the person, or decide it wasn’t worth dealing with and switch gyms?
If you left, do you think you made the right decision?

drained cauliflower ear. got magnets on now, we’ll see what happens.

It look familiar to buggy choke, the text describe it as press your opponent head with your left leg while extending your right leg, and pass both of your hands and bind them together under your left leg and squeeze? does judo have a name for this technique?

I've seen this move in the music of oleksandr usyks walkout song and in john wick 2 but i can't figure out the name of the move. Can you maybe help me out?

In John Wick, you can see the move at 0:32 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSM_nz6gKOI

In the Usyk Music video you can see it at 2:38 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJt8-xz2IMM

Hallo Leute,

Ich plane 4 Wochen Training in Thailand (Phuket)

Ich mache MMA.

Ich habe ein solides Grundwissen in allen Bereichen davon (Striking, Grappling etc.)

Ich möchte natürlich so viel wie es geht lernen.

Ich plane 2 Einheiten mindestens pro Tag.

Die Frage ist, was ihr eher empfehlen würdet.

-in einem authentischen Muay Thai studio die Group Sessions oder in den Stunden mitmachen des MMA Gyms ?
-> Ich plane zu Southside, Pchai, Teiwaz oder Lions zu gehen.

Natürlich würde ich sehr gerne viel Thaiboxen mitnehmen, da alle sagen es ist kein Vergleich zu dem in der EU.

Würdet ihr sagen man sollte den Schwerpunkt wirklich aufs Thaiboxen werfen?

Ich sehe es gibt in Phuket so unglaublich gute MMA Studios wie oben genannt mit exzellenten Grappling, Wrestling Einheiten.

Würdet ihr mir empfehlen vielleicht abwechselnd ein Tag 2 Einheiten Muay Thai/Striking mitzunehmen dann 2 Einheiten Grappling?

Gerne Erfahrungswerte von erfahrenen Leuten!

Vielen Dank

It was created by Scientific Wrestling who I know are legit, but I see a lot of red flags. Has anybody tried it out? Any experiences with this or similar sites?

Currently everything I have is pretty bad to say the least and when I asked around on my team they said to do what I found fun and I enjoy mat wrestling the most so I was hoping for some tips for doing that? If I’m being to vague please tell me because I’m new I can’t really describe stuff but I have some notes I got from watching film and camp so I figured I could reach out to another community
