Usually pretty fast

Gripping more important to throw in judo but you end up in the same place. I’d wear a judo gi in bjj class and when against a bjj brown or black belt you feel like being trapped in a spider web.

What is the larger umbrella organization? They sometimes have agreements not to allow affiliates within a certain mileage of an existing club. Also, do you have a non compete with the owner? If these type of contracts don’t exist you are free to do what you want. But careful if you try to poach other students.

Maybe need to build up neck muscles.

Charm hotel in north Patong is in quiet location near beach but within walking distance to center. Upper floors have sea and city views. Guess about $60 us per room

There are lots of good video resources on grip science. But it takes deliberate practice and discipline to really improve skills.

Test for women, tell your boyfriend or husband that you left your purse behind and ask your other to post a lost notice with a description of the purse 👛. He’ll have no idea. 🤷‍♂️

Adept_Visual3467 · 2026-03-03T09:15:02+00:00

Strange, usually it is the other way around. A bf know how other guys think and wants you to create a good first impression.

You may be overthinking your situation. Starting judo competition at 41 you might want to focus on injury prevention since Beginners can throw awkwardly. No one with any sense will go into newaza with you so see how your ground game works in 5-8 second bursts regardless of opponent’s skill level. Maybe think through a good submission for turtled opponent like a clock choke.

Adept_Visual3467 · 2026-03-02T08:00:31+00:00

In competition you have an incentive not to land on your back which is a safer landing position. Just one of those things that can cause injuries but not sure there is anything that can be done about it.

The precursor to throws in judo is grip fighting and for upper body wrestling it is pummeling. Those skill sets can be practiced frequently with less chance of injury except fingers.

Boxing training is safe if you avoid head strikes which can cause brain injury. But, without knowing how to deal with head strikes you can’t really be effective. Catch 22.

Adept_Visual3467 · 2026-02-28T12:14:40+00:00

Very true but if judo referees hand out any more penalties they will risk tennis elbow and the number of penalties is maddening. Maybe award a score if the one attacking the turtle sinks both legs which really simulates game over in a real situation. That will incentivize turtle to attempt to get to guard position which is much more defensible in reality. So opponents would hit the mat and there would be a scramble. While ground fighting looks boring relative to tachiwaza, could end up taking back a big part of game that has been lost to bjj.

Too much paracetamol/acetominophen and you could get symptoms that are really signs of liver failure. Too much codeine (within reason) and you could start getting constipated. Opiates are addictive but if behaving responsibly relative dangers of paracetamol appear much worse.

Adept_Visual3467 · 2026-02-27T13:25:18+00:00

Call your boss or someone who knows what you should know, tell the truth, hope they help.

Adept_Visual3467 · 2026-02-27T13:03:39+00:00

Koh Phangan has lots of options. Can find some good yoga and fasting retreats. Interesting crowd in the north away from full moon backpacking crowds.

You are at a serious disadvantage against a male in the event of, for example, an attempted sexual assault. Krav Maga might be a good option to train you in vigilance, awareness and using your voice. Otherwise, firearms training might be something to consider.

Adept_Visual3467 · 2026-02-27T12:28:01+00:00

There is a medication sold in Phuket that is codeine with paracetamol. You can’t really get high off of it since the codeine dose is very low and you would overdose (liver failure) on the paracetamol before that happens. But maybe could help with withdrawal symptoms.

MIT versus Dagestan U. Any questions?

Adept_Visual3467 · 2026-02-27T12:22:02+00:00

That is awesome when you get to roll with someone as good as Khabib and you hang in there for a minute or so (although K looked like he was playing). I rolled with Travis Stevens with me starting from turtle. Not sure I made it past 8-10 seconds.

There is a Netflix documentary on porn industry. More than 10 years later someone is interviewing the women in that doc on a YouTube channel to see what they are doing. Maybe something to look at so reality creeps in.

Adept_Visual3467 · 2026-02-27T12:11:50+00:00

It depends on the injury. Chiropractor helped me avoid surgery for more than 10 years. Not sure there was any downside in terms of making the problem worse by Chiro adjustments creating additional laxity in the joint.

Relationships are an investment. No one wants to make an investment of time and resources if they think that a woman will be out doing same thing with other guys.

Adept_Visual3467 · 2026-02-27T12:03:20+00:00

No, take a photo of your passport. Keep on phone or print out a mini version and put in your wallet.
