Just watched the video - looks like a load of fun! I have a feeling there's a BJJ gym/club in the town near my village (there was one opening before I started uni anyway), will have to look in to it when I move back at the end of the month.

I highly recommend it!

It's great fun, a good way to get in shape or at least balance out a sedentary life, and a usually good set of guys and gals that do it (no ego or douches).

Be prepared to get beaten up a lot for 2 years or so. :lol:

Aha, will definitely look in to it then! I imagine it crosses over (vaguely) to rugby as well, so that'll be nice (especially as the closest I've come to a ruck in the past...6? years is in 7s which isn't really the same).
I'm keen to take up Muay Thai as well, have been for years, but the nearest gym that teaches it is a good 45mins-1hr (each way) drive and I can't justify that.

Going to Thailand at the end of the year, though, so might just have to be really touristy and go to one of the training camps :lol:

Surprised Britney's on the US X Factor. The last time she went near a judging panel they took her kids away.

Yes that's right/ I'd say the most key things that translate to rugby (especially if you're a forward) is being able to control your body better and weight transfer in close situations. For example, flankers going over the top and being able to maintain a good abse, as much of BJJ is more than submissions as it is controlling your base.

A few rugby teams in NZ have gone to BJJ camps and training, particularly the Blues (well, maybe not the best endorsement! ) and have seen in a few rucks in various games, that some guys are pulling guard (wrapping their legs).

I think some league teams are doing this and/or wrestling also.

It's a good way to get fit whilst using your whole body which is similar to rugby, as opposed to isolated workouts.

I am in no way shape or form a forward :lol:
Well, I'm 6'2 so I suppose I'm as tall as some forwards Having said that my last game of 15 a side, which was a charity game about 3 years ago, I played lock. Got 3 turnovers at the lineout as well (mainly/mostly/completely due to their hooker throwing right at me though :lol

I've been playing league for the past 3 years (and 7s for 4), and before that hadn't played any rugby at all for three years (played Union throughout school but gave it up). Going to get back in to Union when I move back home in a few weeks though


In semi-related news I've just completed my last practical report/writeup/piece of work of my University career. Two more exams and I'm done!

I'd say that's pretty good for that amount of time.

Having the awareness to go for the armbar at that moment in time. Couldn't quite see how you synched it, but good job (far side angle) nonetheless .

I had started by twisting the blokes arm in what I imagined as a perverted kimora , from then I just went for what I knew hurt people alot...

OMW!!! they come in the same packaging as condoms???

Ever think Trojan may have picked the wrong name? A nation who let a piece of wood enter their realm without caution, which then discharged its devastating load overnight? For condoms?

I went to the gf's work last week, they had no antivirus. 279 viruses. The best part was they showed me their backup strategy: they use custom software and they backed up the application by dragging the desktop icon (a shortcut) to their cdrw. They had 2 years worth of shortcuts.

I reckon the reason I didn't get my knee seen to on Friday by a specialist is because that ******* Eoin O'Malley was having his done. Prick.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Challenge him to karate match and then...

As long as he doesn't have a Mr Miyagi there then his recently fixed knee will be completely gone.

 

[Feicarsinn]

What about my currently unfixed knee, eh?

There is no defense to the crane kick. Tell that to a .45

A far funnier post if you take 'the octagon' to be a reference to Brian Fantana's penis.
