Re: Any Jits'rs here...

I began at Gracie Barra now with smaller school. I train mostly gi but train no gi as well. I've competed three times and will compete in the spring. Sister Steel, saw your comment about never testing at ibjjf tournament. How do you feel about the new testing protocol?

Re: Any Jits'rs here...

I once met Robert Burnikea and that guy was one of the biggest dude I ever met... any how just saw he was now doing the MMA thing..
I would think that kind of size would work against you ...not that I would ever want to mess with him...

anyhow saw go against some soon to be forgotten dude and burnikea was still huge.

I would think your best strategy would be run..and tire him out

If you look, most MMA fighter aren't really "big" because it takes a lot of oxygen and work to keep those muscle firing.

Yeah in Poland. That's not Bellator and it's definitely not UFC.

They'll never test the competitors at any IBJJF tourneys.

SisterSteel, how do you feel about the new testing protocols in IBJJF?

Personally, I think it's ridiculous but than again I think any testing for performance enhancers is ridiculous. AAS or any other performance enhancer won't make a nobody into a world champion (in any sport). It allows the individual to recover so they can continue with their brutal training regimen. And also another point.... it's the fans that put the competitor into a position where they need to use. Think about it... the fans want to see more amazing feats and so the competitors have to step things up.

I know they tested what... 10 people at Pan's but where's the results? I haven't seen them, have you? I have also heard they are going to test at Gi Mundials this year. We'll have to wait and see. The reason question is will they post the results of those who pop positive? Are they ready for that? It would solidify the argument that many out there have in that AAS is running rampant in the BJJ World.

The only one I've seen so far was from Andre Galvao, and he posted his own results. And I agree, I think its ridiculous as well. Its not like there's a magic pill you can take and become proficient in bjj or any other sport. Training, hard training is how you get better.
