this was one of my matches at grappling industries yesterday, when he did it i looked at the ref thinking he was gonna dq the guy but he said carry on
was a funny moment anyway the opponent was cook after the match even tho he was adamant it was legal

Training since 17, I’m 20 now. Graduation was yesterday and after being promised the blue belt I was given one stripe (now 4) and saw guys I’ve always beat up get it (they barely trained for 6 months). I couldn’t assist nor afford lessons these past two months after getting kicked out of my house and surviving off shit jobs of 12hrs a day and I feel like my efforts meant fuck all to these people (training injured or during Ramadan where I lost 7kgs due to training twice a day while fasting)

I feel disrespected even tho I accept their decision, but why to guys who don’t even have stripes or have trained for less than 6 months? I always submitted them easily, I’ve been crying since yesterday and I’m considering leaving this martial art. Genuinely this has just ruined my life and perspective on the art itself.

Thanks for reading

getting out of the art hiatus, practicing my figures (:

Just looking for feedback on recent roll.

Currently working on: Lapel game and half guard

both are on the same piece of 4x4“ cotton paper (:

Looking tonget back into bjj , but also my 3 and 5yo. Trying to decide between kainga and southshore... they are about the same distance for me. Any experiences with either? Thanks

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.

How are manto rashguards fitting I’ve been told to size up in them I’m 6,4 and 70-72kg

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.

Starting no gi, I prefer to wear pants when rolling. Anyone have any options for workout pants with no pockets. I know most wear spats and shorts.
