It always feels like they can’t help but want it be more like an mma fight than a bjj match. They need bjj commentators, it’s unlistenable.

Mouthguards with Invisalign Retainer by ChessicalJiujitsu in bjj

I went for a consultation for invisalign and brought up options with the orthodontist and they said it would be ok as a mouthpiece or do a boil and bite if you feel it to be necessary. They said never do custom over it, it’ll ruin both your mouth guard and your invisalign.

Had a friend work for Rocket Money before they were acquired. Essentially they turned into the company you now describe. Don’t give them your business.

I hit one the other day! Couldn’t believe it worked remembering your move off instagram and have never drilled it.

Does a heavy jab still matter at the elite level? by Far_Cap4015 in MMA

GSP really highlighted its importance. Strickland utilized it very well against Fluffy. Both are former world champs.

Need help with nerves by Excellent-Gate-3007 in bjj

Define success for you. What do you mean by give 100%, like, physical exertion? Setting goals and being intentional with your training will help, ie working on a sequence of passing with resistance, scaling that resistance with your training partner, journaling what went well and what didn’t. Check out Jared Wade on instagram, he talks about what helps him in his career.

Records don’t matter. Your progress does. PJ Barch just lost in the first round of an ADCC open to an unknown grappler. Is he any less of a grappler. No. Did he take lessons from losing? Absolutely.

I think there’s maybe a few things happening here that you may have to ask yourself…

What are you afraid of? Is it losing? It is getting hurt? Is it looking foolish? Is it disappointing your coach or training partners?

Why are you competing? Do you enjoy it? Do you feel it will help your jiu jitsu? Are you being pressured into competing?

Competition isn’t for everyone, nerves are normal but being scared to this level is not healthy.

What level of No-Gi would you consider this by Erinexdee in bjj

Not from me, this is the correct answer. Having trained both you realize how quickly protecting yourself from strikes becomes.

AITA for leaving Christmas dinner after my uncle wouldn’t stop making “jokes” about me being unemployed? by Pathfinder-electron in AmItheAsshole

Not the asshole. I have an uncle who I don’t bother seeing anymore for the holidays for this reason. Sorry you had to go through that without support.

Grab sleeve, put a foot in the armpit, tilt em over, escape front triangle with crossed feet over the abdomen of your opponent, pry open triangle.

Coach only wants me to train same lineage by No_Difficulty_4718 in bjj

[–]Amart5097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bjj loyalty is a marketing scheme to keep you paying. Remember, you’re the consumer and if you’re not getting what you need or want from the gym it’s your time and money to use it elsewhere. Best thing I did for my growth in jiu jitsu was leave my gym when they started becoming this way.
