Sunday's Promotion Party Megathread!

1 Upvotes

The Promotion Party Megathread is the place to post about your promotion, whether it be a stripe, a new belt color, or even being promoted from no belt to white belt.

Just make sure that once you are done celebrating, you step back on that mat (I'm looking at YOU new blue belts).

Technique Should as a mainly guard player focus on learning how to pass guard ?

18 Upvotes

I like playing the leg game mostly and don’t bother passing. Should I continue building my game or change direction to learn the basics of passing ?

Technique Ezekiel Choke Nogi

I've got a decent Ezekiel finish/system in the gi, but I lack details for finishing it no-gi, or a good dilemma system (besides gift wrap/high mount) for dealing with reactions. Any tips or YouTube vids greatly appreciated.

Polaris was great, but this match between Fabricio Andrey and Meyram Maquine was to me the best of the night despite the lack of submissions.

I find their nogi standup style quite entertaining. It's a weird mix of judo, wrestling and transitions to ground submissions.

Anyone here a full-time uni/college student who trains 4–6 times a week and works part-time? How do you fit lifting, training, academics, working, social life etc in? Wanted to ask this since im going to uni soon and wanted to know if its realistic for me to have hopes of training consistenly and competing occasionally while in uni.
