I know there's a few of you here, so what belts and what weight class is everyone?

Also too, how long have you been training for?

I never did buy a Gi...so technically I'm below a white belt, but I've trained for almost 2 yrs now. I weigh 198lbs (still a hawg-I know, will get down to my normal 185lbs soon I hope).

I'm thinking of buying a Gi soon tho and tearing up some white belts in some Gi competitions......or would that be like cheating?

I havnt trained and I dont own a Gi.....

The Blackness of my belt is darker than the inside of a coffin on a moonless night.......

I've been training 5 1/2 months. I'm a green belt (technically a white belt but Edson threw it in the middle) THe peopel I train with say I should be blue no doubt.

I tap blues, i give purples a hard time.

blah blah blah

creative

I got a white belt last week

white belt. Super Heavy.

white i guess. i didnt take the test, i dont train Gi. i've been training no-gi bjj on and off for the last 1 1/2 to 2 years or so. i have an easier time tappin out bigger guys, around 215-250lbs coz of my small size. i would comfortably say that i have a freaksih strenght for my size (normally 155-170lbs), but at 145 lbs i would destroy...... by strenght at that size....... i would definately have a hard time fighting between 170-210 lbs. coz those weights are just quick, strong as hell, and the most competetive.

that is all.

****- I'd love to be able to say I'm in the "Super Heavyweight division"!!! It just sounds plain cool.

It is cool, but not that cool.

I was super heavy, then i lost 50lbs now i'm heavy 9 more lbs till light heavy, 19 more pounds till 195 which is within cutting distance to middle weight.

I cannot wait till i'm 195 and ****in shreded liek a mother ****er

I'm a blue belt and have been training for about 1.5 years.

I weigh around 179 when not cutting weight but sometimes I'll compete at 169.

When I started BJJ I weighed 208... LOL

Jesus! What did you do to cut all the weight?? CHange the diet and increase cardio, or just plain old stuck to a BJJ routine of gooing to class on a reg basis?

Good luck with that dude! What was your secret to shedding the 50lbs?
Those 50 were probably the easiest to shred man... the next few will be the toughest tho!!!!

i lost 25 pounds or so just doing BJJ

white

Bob, you should be a blue...

As should I, but I haven't trained for ****en too long now and would get schooled by newbies!

my drive was fighting a real sr heavy who was built like a superheavy.

I do not have a frame to hold all that weight.

I upped my meals to 6 a day and i worked out hard and often

Over the summer was key I trained full time (4-8 hours days) and ate really healthy.

I did that too, for a "before and After" body-for-life contest. Got down to 176lbs and was pretty shredded. It only took 3 months of following Bill Phillips(body-4-life guy) to do it. The training was only 1 hour a day , but you had to eat 6 small healthy meals a day to do it.

I'm gonna do it again this winter and hopefully get down to at least 185lbs b-4 I even think of competing again.

If i cooked for myself i would be able to do it, unfortunately i live in a dorm and cannot.

I've trained for 5 years this November, purple in BJJ, Brown in Judo. my usual weight is 210lbs, and I really do not care for fight weight, I usually compete at the heavier weight class anyways. Too many guys from the same gym in a weight bracket, besides is a good challenge.

However I'm back in a training program to increase performance so I'm sure I'll lose some wieght.

What exactly are the rules for Shootfighting???

Shootfioghting is usually MMA with out strikes to the face on the ground or no strikes to the face period.

However, now a days some people call MMA Shootfighting.

Haru- I'm a very peacefull guy. No need to worry it takes a lot to piss me off.

Our shootfighting class is all about BJJ and wrestling.....

Oh! Ok that makes sense now. I sort of knew that Shootfighting has been mistaken for MMA often, that's why I asked about rules.
Thnx for clearing that up!
