Thought some people might be interested in seeing this. Really admire Rafael and Xande for being willing to go out of their comfort zone and train with wrestlers at arguably the best D1 wrestling school there is.

This is a good summary of Lucas' game from half guard. It includes all his main sweeps/attacks from there.

Well, I was watching some old school videos on YouTube and instructionals, and noticed a lot of people from the era of the early 2000s, wore HCK gis.

I remember reading that HCK gis lasted a long-time, during a period when the function and practicality of gis took precedence over form and fashion.

However I am cautious and obviously take the review with a grain of salt.

Was wondering if anybody has seen it and can recommend it or not. I am weary of purchasing it simply because the last unconventional half guard DVD I bought by Jonatas Novaes titled The Flat Half Guard, was horrible. If anybody has seen it please let

I was dropping in on an open mat yesterday, and noticed a few of these cxt things were located in the corner of the gym. I was tempted to take one out and play around with it, but didn't do it as I felt it was bad etiquette.

To me honestly, it just looks like a modified exercise ball, sold at a mark-up price of 1800%. I am reading claims on their website saying that the thing is made to resemble a real human being, however, am I being cynical when I tell myself I have yet to roll with someone who is about 2.5 feet tall, with 3 inch arms and the body of a beach ball? I am sure most will agree, despite the great variation and diversity of the human race, most human beings don't look like thi
