Suggestions on no gi and vale tudo training?

Roy Gaflaer · 01-09-2002, 08:21 PM

None of the kids I train with have a gi, so I've had to modify the techniques I've learned from watching my tapes and training at the Gracies to No gi. Can you guys suggest a no gi tape series that shows good stuff I can learn and teach. Also, since none of the boys have gi's, I told them they should probably wear as little clothes as possible when they come to train. Should I order some gi's for the boys or continue to focus on no gi/vale tudo training?

I trained with no gi (just t-shirts) for quite a while when I first started BJJ. The great majority of the teqneques are applied the same with or withough. Except of course collor chokes. Though I have collor and clock choked people with just a t-shirt. Clock choke works great with just a t-shirt. Now I train with and without the gi but to be honest these days I don't like wearing it that much.

As for tapes Matt Thorntons first and second tape series from the StraightblastGym are just great.

what about Sperry's tapes?

soho · 01-10-2002, 02:05 AM

I've seen one of his tapes a while back. It was a standard showing of bjj moves

When you're doing no-gi, ya gotta watch out for ringworms. I got some last summer and it took about 3 weeks to go away.

As little clothes as possible? Let's just oil up and go nekked like the Greeks of old....

ROY, please start reading your posts a little more closely, you're scaring the hell outta me.

MArio Sperry's tapes are THE vale tudo tapes to have. great stuff on them.

I have his first series so I dont know how the other series are.

Roy Gaflaer · 01-10-2002, 03:12 PM

OK so far I'm gonna purchase Mario Sperry volume 1 and I think I will check out the Matt Thorton tapes.

I don't think I'm gonna waist money on any of those vale tudo shorts, I mean from what I've seen their is no difference between vale tudo shorts and speedos or bike shorts, and of got plenty of those. So I don't think I'll waste my money.

Angel_of_Pain · 01-10-2002, 05:12 PM

Lol man Roy, you train yougn boy's in your basement, you oil up and you got a lot of speedos LOL is it just me or it look a little how can I say it hmmm Supicious....

Roy Gaflaer · 01-10-2002, 08:45 PM

I never said anything about oil? I think you have an over active imagination.

So I own speedos? Have you seen the kind of shorts these guys wear when they fight? What is the difference between speedos and little tiny vale tudo shorts

I mean Ken Shamrock the most dangerous man alive wore purple speedos, and Sakuraba use to wear those pink speedos.

I am tearing I am laughing so hard. So many here , so few can see. Shades of Saba .

Roy Gaflaer · 01-11-2002, 12:57 AM

Piss off JERK!

Szczepankiewicz · 01-11-2002, 10:24 AM

Come on Roy lighten up! We're just ribbin' ya. You have to admit that the most dangerous man alive in purple speedos is just a little funny....

And what's wrong with oil? Maybe that's why no one wants to train with me anymore.....

Szczepankiewicz,
MAybe a bikini wax would keep from scaring people off. TRim that hedgerow peeking out from under your shorts.

I thought of a good idea. Transparent speedos would be a good detterent, huh?

Szczepankiewicz · 01-14-2002, 09:42 AM

Nah, probably wouldn't work. They wouldn't stay transparent very long....
