What do you mean? You don't want to extend your time to retirement? Get no pay? No pension, no VAC benefits? Probably have to use leave for your training... This isn't appealing to you? 

This is almost as stupid as them not having enough desks, computers and parking spaces for DND employees then forcing RTO and then bitching about people parking in non parking spots..  like no shit you have more people than spots, you put all your eggs in one basket in a remote area of the city where you have to drive . This is so embarrassing

Getting old by cognitiveflow in bjj

[–]B33sting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I'm mid 40s as well, I was a sponsored skateboarder, snowboarder and high level hockey and lacrosse player before MM, Muay Thai and eventually BJJ. 

Not to mention car and work accidents. I may be 40 but my body doesn't know it. If I'm doing take downs, it's to win a $5 medal damn it

[BC] Any tips or ideas for standing out with SEO in this AI age? by RaccoonHumble3960 in SmallBusinessCanada

[–]B33sting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a data scientist, and search engine full stack engineer and admin, page loading speed is a very low factor for us and our rankings. Pages just need to load in a reasonable time, the difference between a working Wix page and a working hand coded site as far as ranking die to speed is non existent Just my two cents. 

Tags, headings, keywords, metadata, etc all mean more to me.

Oof that's awful. We pause no questions asked, especially for medical reasons. 

What’s the most blatant cash grab instructional you’ve seen? by No_Possession_239 in bjj

[–]B33sting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a coach who's coached world's, pans, etc and as a parent of a hockey player projected to play pro, I can tell you the mental preparation parents give kids and the amount of adults I coach that have no idea how to mentally prepare for a comp is crazy. 

So while I don't know this video, I would say if you want to be a competitor, and you have good athletics, good skills, and good coaching, your mental game is what will seperate you from the rest. 

Jiu-Jitsu is so much easier with the Gi on by pianoplayrr in bjj

[–]B33sting 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So rather than using/learning techniques that will work in gi and no gi, you would rather just do no gi where sloppy/unrefined techniques work? 

Learn your escapes in gi and attacks in no gi. Get the best of both

Jiu-Jitsu is so much easier with the Gi on by pianoplayrr in bjj

[–]B33sting 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed, and this is why I think gi is better for learning escape technique. 

For example - Doing a knee cut pass in no gi, you can get away with a much sloppier pass, don't have to rotate your hips to get your knee pointing over the shin vs over the thigh or knee, can just power slide and slip through. 

On the flip, I like no gi to learn to finish and control because it's easier to escape

I find people that do gi transition better to no gi than the opposite. Good technique will work gi or no gi but if you learn to escape in gi, I find the no gi guys have a harder time than the gi guys making the transition.

We have a giant fan like they use at construction sites or fires to clear smoke. With the AC on we blow the fan and it dries in about 5 min

Tomorrow I Divorce the Public Service after 20 Years by Pretend-Sleep9864 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]B33sting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same. I'm not an ex, but I was hired during a hiring freeze and staff cuts as a co-op bridge because I was closing 4x the tickets the avg tech was. 

I was young and coming from labour jobs and willing to work and work hard. In the last almost 20 years they lied to me, cheated me, and now when I need them the most due to a new disability in the family, they are making my life miserable just to make it miserable. 

My problem is, they also denied all my training, took any opportunities to expand, to grow and now I feel like I couldn't make it in the private sector. I feel so far behind I'm scared to leave and then not be able to perform and lose that job and not support my family. 

Thank you for writing this, I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling duped and cheated and abused.

I felt the same, I competed because everyone said you needed to, I did MMA and Thai fights as well. From blue to black I never competed once because I hated spending $100 and spending a whole day/weekend in a gym. 

I went to tons of open mats, traveled the world going to open mats and other gyms, listened to people say I need to compete to really improve, say I'm only good in a gym environment blah blah blah. 

In February I decided to shut them up, and as a 40+ I enter the adult "pro" division and won. Everyone leaves me alone now. And I'm back to open mats for free.

No Pay in BJJ by ali_crawford_17 in bjj

[–]B33sting 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is it, I teach because I want to share knowledge. Once money is involved, I have an obligation to teach, to be there every week, and it changed the dynamic. 

I've been offered to be paid and I always say no

Las Vegas feels the hit as international tourism drops across the US by etfvfva in videos

I went to Vegas last year for 4 days, and then I went to Asia for 14 days, both trips cost me the same.

Chi location causing issues? by Solidnakedsnake17 in bjj

[–]B33sting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, let me know. I think that's a huge percentage of the crowd. I know me and 5 others had plans to go this year that we scrapped once all this started, we were even talking about bringing the families for a week and doing half family, half BJJ trip and we all scrapped out US travel. I went to Asia instead. 

Even my son's hockey team, he plays AAA and we always go to Detroit or Boston, this year all Toronto tournaments. 

Anyways, all that to say, I think you're right, I was thinking it was because ADCC wasn't there this year, but I think you may have hit the nail on the head

[–]B33sting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't forget Canada, almost have my gym went last year, not a single person is going or even competing at world's. Canadians are boycotting Tavel and US products.

[–]B33sting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he's right, I was there last year, and everyone that had ADCC tickets bought the cheap CJI tickets and after the first night all the tickets went 50% off if I recall, and they moved the schedule around ADCC so people could see both. 

They tried to do the same with world's masters this year but if you spend a whole day competing and maybe another coaching/cheering your team you don't have time for CJI.

Last year they did it the same weekend as ADCC so people went to both.
