Thanks man.

There is no submissions.

No one has mentioned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu yet. kids, 15 and under white yellow orange green adults, 16 and over white blue purple brown black restrictions -you must be at least 16 to hold a blue belt. this rule is SOMETIMES violated in special cases, but it's NEVER given to anyone younger than 15 -you must be at least 18 to hold a black belt. no exceptions degrees of black belts unlike color promotions, degrees of black belts are NOT awarded on merit; if someone is continuously training (ie hasnt quit), one degree is added every three years. it is therefore theoretically possible to have a 6th degree black belt to be better than a 7th. once 10 degrees has been reached, you never advance further-- 10th degree black belt is the highest rank. when one reaches the 9th degree black belt level, the belt itself is no longer solid black, it alternates between red and black (VERY cool hehehe http://www.pedrosauer.com/images/relson-sem2.jpg ). the degrees are still kept at 10th degree, the belt is now solid red. the degrees are still kept. http://www.maxercise.com/images/gallery/Max07.jpg quick note: ive heard that carlson gracie will award a green to an adult in between white and blue, but im not sure source : http://www.sherdog.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39322&highlight=BJJ+belt+system

There you go.

Helio Grace (1913 to Current) - founder of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. ---------------------------------------------- One young but skilled master of a number of jiu-jitsu styles, Jigoro Kano, founded his own ryu and created the martial art Judo (aka Kano-ryu jiu-jitsu) in the 1880's. One of Kano's primary insights was to include full-power practice against resisting, competent opponents, rather than solely rely on the partner practice that was much more common at the time. One of Kano's students was Mitsuo Maeda, who was also known as Count Koma ("Count of Combat"). Maeda emigrated to Brazil in 1914. He was helped a great deal by the Brazilian politician Gastão Gracie, whose father George Gracie had emigrated to Brazil himself from Scotland. In gratitude for the assistance, Maeda taught jiu-jitsu to Gastao's son Carlos Gracie. Carlos in turn taught his brothers Osvaldo, Gastão Jr., Jorge, and Helio. From my head : Helio and his brothers further refined what they had learnt in brutal street and ring fights. Helio is now 88 years old and is still an active participant in the sport. He is my fighting legend. http://www.gracieacademy.com/images/family/helio2.jpg http://www.joediamondkarate.com/_borders/helio.jpg

so then why not the gold weave?

nope, they would never do it.

He never one a fight but he was 4-0, hmm sounds odd. Its supposed to go wins-losses-draws dude.

BJJ is right in there in there

FlailingLimbs Yes I do.

3 days a week 2 to 3 and a half hours each session

You know there is such thing a "private message" feature.

Not to sure on the karate ki because I dont do karate, but the fading of the black belt is just wear and tear, they can sometimes be really old.

why the single weave?

I THINK, BJJ has a better ground game, it is THE ground game.

beh, BJJ all the way

haha I think he is looking for non-homosexual ways out of it. That being said, sometimes the foot stomp works, just ask KUNG-FU MONKEY!!

Yeah my buddy tought a few of his buddys the rear naked choke and they come up behind me and sink it, I say "Ok, lets go to the gym and start standing face to face" most of time they wont go, sometimes they do and I beat them.

I study BJJ as you can tell by my sig, anyways... Me and this other experienced MMA fighter in my class were working the clinch one day but I forgot most of it. Just wondering where are the most effective spots to deliver knee's and what are the most effective ways of doing so?

I assume your talking about a rear naked choke?

Hmm my first submission that I feel was really... "real"... A guy my same weight, has about month of training on me was just all over the place jumping, standing, whatever. I caught him in a super tight shoulder stand arm bar.

White Atama Gold Weave, wicked gi but its all pilled now, should have got a blue one, my next one will probably be a Bad Boy Tribal.

I would try to take out his knee's

he would have to be standing then right?

how much do you weigh?
