The Nogi Blog
Why nogi and why now? Letting the Ego… go!
So now I don’t really care about how terrible my gi game is or that I risk getting choked by a 21 year old blue belt. Taking off the gi is like starting jiu jitsu all over again.

This time he starts with a knee shield half guard pass, to a DLR sweep to a pretty unconventional kneebar. You're just gonna have to watch it for it to make sense. Budo Jake is wearing the Phantom 3.0 Black and Mint Limited Edition and we're running super low so get them now because we may not be stocking them again.

Bas Rutten? Cradle? Why does Jeff Glover call it the Suzanne Somers?
