Adonis Posted September 9, 2005 Author Posted September 9, 2005 True but in some cases bravo is a genius because how he sort of re-events old moves. I mean that stuff been around in wrestling but you don't see others doing it until after bravo did the moves. and wrestlers been in submission gave for awhile before bravo came around but no one else gave it much thought.
BJJ is 1 Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 whats up with rickson now, I heard Bas Rutten called him out but rickson backed down what happened? "Without Jiu Jitsu its like without my two legs."-Rickson Graciehttps://www.myspace.com/cobraguard
Adonis Posted October 9, 2005 Author Posted October 9, 2005 That is old news Bas been calling Rickson out live on prideFC when he was announcing for them. This was back in the first 10 prides were out. Alot of people chalange rickson. Rickson doesn't have really great stand up striking. I dont' think he would hang with bas. Ricksons best bet is when he has some one already on the ground. Take top fighters who have good stand up and good take down defrense, like chuck liddel and many other fighters. I dont' think rickson can hang with on there feet and if he can't get them to the ground he is going to be in trouble. I think rickson fight days are gone. Not because he still cant' fight even though he is really up there in age. Just technically he isn't as profienct as now days fighters. His ground skills are obviously second to none but getting some one to the ground or his striking ability can be definelty braught into question. Just my opinion
Adonis Posted October 9, 2005 Author Posted October 9, 2005 granted I would still love to see him fight. Any one ever see Eddie bravo's book Jiu-Jitsu unleashed? -Jeff
BJJ is 1 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I looked at it, but I like Roylers books better "Without Jiu Jitsu its like without my two legs."-Rickson Graciehttps://www.myspace.com/cobraguard
Adonis Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 Which book by royler? One with Renzo on the cover or Roylers No-gi book? I don't Roylers are good. I like Eddie's half guard game that is good to get the book. Its only around $16 dollars well worth the price. For the book. Only thing you got to really work on flexiblity to do his rubber guard game. His half guard game is great though!
BJJ is 1 Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Roylers No-Gi book, Jack Mcvicker told me I should look at it because thats realy how he rolls "Without Jiu Jitsu its like without my two legs."-Rickson Graciehttps://www.myspace.com/cobraguard
TJS Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 I have heard good stuff about Bravos New book. The only thing im concerned about is flexibility..
Adonis Posted October 28, 2005 Author Posted October 28, 2005 stretch your legs alot if you don't it isn't going to work as good for you. His half guard game though you don't need to be as flexible it is really good and worth checking out. You can get his book at Barnes and Noble or other book stores in the matial arts section. Its well worth the price. Down side is the moves are all in black and white but other then that book is worth it. Solid stuff in there. Only thing would some of his sets ups in rubber guard you have to work on that flexiblity for it. Eddie says him self it takes along time to get it down to work effectively but his half guard game you can almost use right away in my opinion. Its only $16 dollars where alot of the other BJJ books are commonely around $30 dollars or 29.95 lol!
BJJ is 1 Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 whats the book called? "Without Jiu Jitsu its like without my two legs."-Rickson Graciehttps://www.myspace.com/cobraguard
