In case you live under a rock, or you don’t follow UFC (which is worse). Rousimar “Toquinho” Palhares, a very gifted grappler and leg lock specialist, has been banned from the UFC for unsportsmanlike conduct. Dana White, UFC President, has decided that Rousimar Palhares has held on to submissions beyond the “tap” for too long and too often. Before we get into the meat and bones of my opinion, let’s look at his submission victories in chronological order.
Hello Fellow Jits peeps. This week was a little slow on the written content, and while there was a lot of random techniques posted. As far as this week goes, this is what I believe you shouldn’t miss. So, take a moment this Labor Day to get your daily dose of Jiu-Jitsu. I suggest you drink some tea or coffee (iced if necessary) for maximum enjoyment.
For the previous weeks round ups, check out the links below (the first roundup explains the entire premise for these posts).
Anyhow, this is the good stuff from this week:
Hello, this weekend’s roundup was a bit late. Forgive me, I was busy not finishing this post. =| If you are new to the roundups, click here to see what this is and why I’m doing it.
Past Roundups:
If you are new to this blog, here is an explanation of what this post is meant to be. This week there was much more video content than the last. Either way, it’s still grappling so we all win. Enjoy the best of jiu-jitsu online this week.

I hate looking at my jiu-jitsu news feeds and seeing the exaaaaaaaaact saaaaaaaaame connnnnnntent shared by the people I follow/like/etc. I ask myself, “Are they really that oblivious that their readers/fans/followers/etc., more than likely, also follow the person whose content they are sharing?”
As a result, I have the honor of being spammed blessed with the same technique from Caio Terra from 5-10 different fan pages/twitter users/etc. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Caio Terra jiu-jitsu techniques. The point is that Caio has a pretty extensive following, and if I want to see his techniques, I’ll get them straight from his own fan page/twitter/etc.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I have had it up to here with the over sharing. People, it’s honestly okay to not have something new to “share” every hour of the day. Do you remember what #outside looks like? For the love of Helio, GIVE THE SHARING A BREAK!
K, I’m done with my /r/rant. I will say, though, if you have a decent sized following you should try to share content of value from people who have smaller voices. Share techniques from people who aren’t being listened to, share incredible matches from, dare I say, non-world-champions, share insights and perspectives that otherwise wouldn’t be come across just browsing the web. Help out the #littleguys, isn’t that more aligned with the spirit of #jiujitsu anyway?
Had enough of the social media #wordplay? As have I. I will now step off my soap box and practice what I preach. I postulate that if I provide good resources of value in an easily consumable way, good things will happen for us all. Check out these posts I found useful/entertaining from the past week:
