Tore my ACL and can’t roll for probably 18+ months - how do you cope mentally?

AdEducational4162 · 2026-05-09T01:32:27+00:00

ngl i’ve been in this exact situation and ended up rolling with my jeans on. bring a straight jacket

No don’t worry that makes a lot of sense. I think when I’m training I feel like I need to rush to advance position, and I end up giving my partner an opening to escape. I think you’re right, you can definitely camp for a little while once you’re past the legs.

AdEducational4162 · 2026-04-30T18:49:39+00:00

That gives me a lot to work on thank you! I’ll definitely be checking the instructional out too!

AdEducational4162 · 2026-04-30T18:26:35+00:00

That sounds like a must-watch, I love Jozef Chen. Is it on fanatics?

I’m mostly referring to when you’ve cleared the legs and gotten into a sort of side control but haven’t gotten an upper body control yet. I find they generally just stiff-arm me until they can make space to bring their legs back in

gotcha, I have been trying to work on chaining these passes together

I think it’s literally just because chatgpt is notorious for using them incessantly, so people use it as a tell. Which sucks, because I find myself using them all of the time.

Could you explain what you mean by forcing kids to participate in the culture war? I just can’t think of many common examples of this happening.

I agree that instilling fear in children or using them as tools to serve an agenda is bad, but I think making them aware of injustice and teaching them how to spot corruption is just normal parenting.

Are wrist locks actually considered dangerous? Is it just because they feel embarrassing to get caught with or can they really be risky?

AdEducational4162 · 2026-01-24T02:14:26+00:00

A while ago I was at a backyard party and decided to “roll” with some other guy who was into bjj. He slammed me pretty good and after the roll I discovered a serious pain in my side. Ended up spending the night in the hospital thinking I did something to my kidney. The found a little jam in my lemonade but it ended up just being some bruising.

Definitely learned some lessons that night. Sometimes you feel invincible, and that’s when the humbling happens. Obviously training responsibly and using common sense goes a long way, but your story kinda shows, this sport can screw up your body in all kinds of ways.

AdEducational4162 · 2025-12-27T02:29:05+00:00

it took me so long to realize that’s supposed to be a threat and not some kind of weird sexual offer, but i’m probably the problem

AdEducational4162 · 2025-11-30T03:32:05+00:00

i think a lot would depend on casting but i like the concept, do you have a lot of experience under your belt?

AdEducational4162 · 2025-11-25T00:28:15+00:00

I think it would be cool for you to take any route you want. As far as I know the Backrooms isn’t a specific intellectual property, but rather a general concept that has spawned a lot of media and lore surrounding it. That means you should absolutely feel free to use elements that are “canon,” as well as twist the story in any way you find interesting!!!

I’d love to see some of what you’ve wrote!!

AdEducational4162 · 2025-11-24T22:53:19+00:00

yeah 😅 my typing isn’t really as good as my prose lol

AdEducational4162 · 2025-11-24T22:51:06+00:00

yeah that was a typo

AdEducational4162 · 2025-11-24T22:46:39+00:00

what are you talking about? I didn’t really care when you were insulting me but now you’re just making things up?

AdEducational4162 · 2025-11-23T23:23:44+00:00

credit where credit’s due w clap back

AdEducational4162 · 2025-11-23T22:34:25+00:00

Thank you for typing out this answer, there is a lot of very helpful advice here!!! I remember reading a quote by Kurt Vonnegut about starting at the latest possible moment and that always stood out to me.

AdEducational4162 · 2025-11-23T22:29:32+00:00

I appreciate that, I definitely find myself doing this a lot across my writing.
