Something To Think About

faithmma — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 06:14:30 +0000

“It’s not the critic that counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, who’s face is marred by dust and sweat and blood. Who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again knowing that there is no effort without error and shortcoming. Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause. Who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, at least fails whilst daring greatly. So that his place will never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

20 Fundamental Moves of Jiu-Jitsu

faithmma — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 03:38:43 +0000

I saw this posted on Facebook and thought it was very good so thought i would share it with everyone.

This is a compilation of what was a 4 part series article published in Gracie Magazine last year (July – October 2006, GM #’s 112 – 115). Gracie Magazine asked 20 of the best BJJ Black Belts what they thought were the best and most fundamental techniques that can enhance or play a major role in your competition game. To expand upon things, I’ve added most of the photos from a Google Image Search, and all of the videos from searching You Tube or editing existing clips and reposting them. Take a read, see what you think, and post what your comments and/or additions are to the list.
