22nd of August

Zwift i added two more of your replays, one to ground sweeps and one to guard control. I didn't put in under top control because you should have won after his shoulder touched but the contact glitch prevented that. Which is actually quite common when you have your opponent in guard.

darkexxod i don't know what you mean. If your asking if you can pull guard against a noob clap i would say only if you can get one arm away to post on. Otherwise if your opponent grabs both your arms/hands dont do it.

I mean, it was my birthday a week ago.

Dec 27. Happy late birthday weooweoo, I will give you a birthday present :3.

[!] ALL PENDING APPS: For the time being we're going to test a new application method called player profiles. Essentially anyone who wants to join and contribute to [TA] can do so as long as you really want to be an active member of this org and not just have your name on a list.

So this time tomorrow the [Applications] thread will close and the [Player Profile] thread will open. Make your profile. Then as directed practice some hip throws on uke and post your best in [Replay Thread]. Good luck.

For the current applications that are being discussed, could we use the same replays & play style description (if we included it) in our application and copy it over to the Player Profile thread? Some of the required material in the new thread is met in some most of these applications already.

Yes use the same replays and description if you like. Profiles in essence are the same as applications but instead of voting we use them to track your progress.

[+] Gentleman: You have been accepted into [TA] through council voting. Welcome aboard and please continue to make your profile in [Player Profiles].

Repost
There's a million subtopics i could get into but i really want to focus on what's applicable in aikido mods so this my introduction to [TA]'s Bjj study.

Real World BJJ: In as few words as possible BJJ is a martial art that derived from judo but focus's primarily on ground based grappling, meaning everything that happens after the takedown. This includes but is not limited to ground sweeps, guard control, top control, joint-locks and choke-holds.

BJJ in TB: To start i want to throw choke-holds out of the discussion because you cannot strangle a Tori. Maybe there is some choke techniques that could help get a decap but its not easy, therefor impractical.

Joint-locks like the armbar are very good for controlling your opponent using your legs and then using your arms to move the fight. But they also have potential to intelligently fracture or DM your opponent without using striking. And they look cool.

Top Control is basically when you find your COG on top of your opponent you really want to stick to them like glue. Use your legs and arms to control your opponent's mobility and really weigh them into the floor. You can touch the floor for stability but don't push off because it will only help your opponent recover.

Pulling Guard is a very special tool. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu guards seem crazy but when you really practice and get good they can be applied to limitless situations like hip throws. Essentially you are inverting the traditional fighting stance; You are based on your hands and primarily controlling your opponent with your legs. This is done by using two leg hooks to wrap and lock up their legs, waist, or arms. Usually I am based on one hand and have 2 legs and 1 arm controlling my opponent.

Ground Sweeps are advanced turnovers and are the primary weapon after establishing a guard. There are many variations.

What I Want: Anyone reading this and wants to contribute, start trying these techniques. Practice on Uke and if you need help post in the Replay Thread.
Post any successful multiplayer replays here in New Tech. Dev. and I will add them to the example lists above.

Science buddy your app looks great but we're converting to player profiles where you make one and you will be a part of [TA].

We'll be closing this application thread very soon.

It is replacing applications, with making player profiles. It's basically the same thing, but a different way about doing it.
