Gumby from OnTheMat posted a funny post about the different types of BJJ practicioners out there:

BJJ Types from OnTheMat:

The Shadow-Boxer:

The guy who has some striking martial art experience (usually a TMAer who can’t accept the fact that his black belt is being rendered useless by these 150-lb. guys who tap him relentlessly) and decides to feint it in BJJ class. While rolling, will throw fake shots, to simulate a Vale Tudo match. Convinced that a punch will change the pace of the match from anywhere, in the clinch, from his guard, while mounted by someone much better. Usually, this specimen’s actions can be halted with a quick leg grab/take down while he is throwing a knee from the clinch.

Another good solutionis to sit on their chest mounted on them very much underneath their armpits and not actually try to submit them. Watch em squirm.

Takada Guy:

His one goal is to not tap under any circumstances, considering that lasting is almost like winning. This guy mounts no offence at all and concentrates exclusively on tucking in all his extremities and ‘nullifying’ your game. After a round of wasting your time and his, will give you the “you couldn’t tap me, so we’re about even in skill” look and gasp his way to the sidelines to sit the next roll out.

Humiliation time. Remember the surfboard technique Pe de Pano and Marc Laimon have pulled off in competition?

LOL hilarious…check out Part 1 here and Part 2 here.
