I was just about to start a new voting question, then thought I'd open it up to you lot to come up with some 'sensible' suggestions - Bassmonger need not apply. :-p

How about something along the lines of: What's your favourite move in TJJ... or maybe favourite finishing move in BJJ? I've not really been into JuJitsu long, but I think that the rice bale is cool. Probably useless on the streets. but it's still fun on the mat! Especially when you get to use a choke to finish it off!

Thought we'd start with the BJJ since there's more true competition involved.

Any more idea's welcomed greatly.

seeing as neck cranks and heel hooks arent allowed in bjj competition they should be removed

I bloody hate neck cranks...never use them in training, unless it's simply a case of a choke cranking at the same time. For one, they're painful and dangerous, and if you can't use them in competitions, what's the point?

Same goes for heel hooks. Tell a lie- I did one the other day, though that was by accident when Adam twisted to try and get out of an ankle lock. The tard.

I think they're good to train, but to a point, and not in active sparring, you might not always be using your skills and techniques in a competition.

Why are there so many votes for ankle lock- can someone explain why they prefer it over an arm bar, oma plata or any sort of choke? It's quite strange that a foot lock has more votes than arm bar and triangle put together. Or is it just me that thinks that's weird?

True...and in true ironic fashion (well, more ironic than half the examples in the pooey Alanis Morrissette song of the same name), we did leg locks at training tonight. And while I do like and use them a lot (apart from on Chris, for he is a bendy freak), I would have thought chokes and stuff would be more popular. Or even knee bars...since you're definitely not walking away from that one.
