I think 'shoot' refers to the shoot when you shoot in, lol.. You 'shoot' in on your opponent and go for a single leg, for example.

Years, huh ? LOL! You're only 15, ffs. How wrong you are. I wrestled with a guy who was doing power lifting, I thought he would have been at least 75kgs, I found out he was 68kgs! Godamn, he was strong too. lol, what kind of weight training, you fool ? Compond exercises are the shiotnitz. Pressing 450lbs might not exactly be the type of strength you're after, I still got thrown around like a rag doll though. Not sure how he fares up against someone with technique though. Here's something for you, I read that after you get to a certain number of pushups, you're not building strength anymore. I'm inclined to agree with this, I was stuck on 30 push ups for a long time. I would do push ups 2/3 times a week, then after 4 workouts using weights, I was able to do 70 push ups.

That's why you cross-train!

Even better, guillotines are easier to apply without a gi. I've always down takedowns without the gi, so I don't really know any different. The hip toss you can easily do without the gi, you just grab their tricep.

To learn how to fight.

Kick high in training, hit low in fights. Generally, anyway.

The hip toss is an awesome throw, it's got excellent mechanical effiency, I love it when people roll off your back! You can also control how hard you slam someone into the ground with it too, when we're practicing, we catch them, but I'd love to slam someone into concrete.

Damn, can you say McDojo ? 40 bucks a week, $13.33 a class.

You'll be amazed at how much more you learn now and want to learn. I got arm barred in my first competition which fueled my desire to learn how to pass the guard properly. I choked someone out in less than 20 seconds in my last tourney, very satisfying

So, you're just pushing your attackers away and not trying to drop them ?

I did a low carbohydrate, high protein diet and dropped 3kgs of fat in one week, while increasing muscle mass. I increased the number of push ups from 70 to 80, after doing 3 sets of normal push ups with weights on my back, 3 sets of push ups with my hands up the stairs and 3 sets of push ups with my feet up the stairs.

I'd like to be the sniper's psychologist.

Well said, taezee. In a fight, I'm not going to wait for someone else to hit me first, if I think someone is going to attack me, I will attack. I'd much rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

I don't do point sparring...

Nice analogy!
