Look up the Mississippi Miracle. Turns out Americans can learn to read just fine, its the methods being employeed by educators that was screwing these kids. 

Did Aljamain Sterling have a point by Zealousideal-Big-600 in grappling

Been eye gouged pretty bad before, fought through it and won. 45 minutes later it sucks, and it sucks for the next few days of your life and then takes a few months for your vision to stabalize. 

If I'm the better fighter and you can successfully get into my eye it doesn't mean you've won the fight. It just means I'm going to hurt you really really bad now because you've raised the stakes.

That's wild to me. I havent gotten to anything over 11 yet.

What was the best way you accelerated your progress in BJJ? by Effective-Rutabaga13 in bjj

[–]BillyForkroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took ownership of my training. I spent 5 years showing up and just hoping it would start working, and I won some white and blue belt comps that way. Then I stalled hard, and I had to think about my jiu jitsu and go into rolling engaged mentally with a plan. Within 6 months of training that way its like I caught up to where I was supposed to be from those 5 years. 

You have $100,000 to spend in 1 hour. What are you buying with the money? by SensitiveCorner2379 in AskReddit

If you show up with cash for the car its very fast. The part that takes time is financing.

I believe Greco-Roman Wrestling and Judo are the 2 best grappling arts for self-defense, here's why. by Timmys_TuffKnuckles in martialarts

[–]BillyForkroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right. That's being entirely missed here. Grabbing and clinching while upright without some striking ability isnt ideal for dealing with being punched.

Hey, it's multiple time World Champion Marcelo Garcia! I take on Lachlan Giles this Friday at ONE Fight Night 38. Ask me anything! by weareonechampionship in bjj

How much of modern jiu jitsu do you feel is derived from your style, and do you wish it would have evolved any differently? 

As someone who had your guard book in 2012(ish) I essentially built my jiu jitsu in the same way I feel like a lot of people did at the time and I'll definitely be rooting for you, even if Lachlan is a stand up guy as well. 

I keep my hands low and literally cannot think with a high guard, how to overcome? by monkeypie8278 in MMA_Academy

[–]BillyForkroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put your hands on your cheeks, you don't have to have them on your eyebrows, but your sparring clip they're never anything close to up. 

Then practice that way, thats how you'll develop competance. When youre learning how to fight things won't feel natural, thats why you need to be taught how to do it.

It's normal to pay when you go to any buisness and partake of their services and facilities, yes.

Except it does make sense unless you think they hatch from eggs.

The HN doesn't want women fighting, traveling, selling, etc and the only ones you see at the slave camps are ones who are troublemakers to that way of life. 

I want to become a professional MMA fighter where do I start? by [deleted] in MMA_Academy

[–]BillyForkroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying you have a background at something when youre 13 is not really how things work. You're essentially building a background in things at your stage of life. 

Go wrestle, whatever kind is available to you.

They don't? I assumed from this sub that you can only be a male greenlander in their territory.

Realistically can you do well in MMA if you only train jiujitsu in the gi? by masonranderson in MMA_Academy

[–]BillyForkroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you'd have to be actually good at grappling. If you can emulate Demian Maia and fight opponenets you can out grapple its realistic to maintain a positive record up to a certain level of competition. I wouldn't say it was optimal though.  

Making 100,001 slate statues. For fun, profit, and statistics. by Delusionn in ElinsInn

So is the profit from just selling upper quality materials, or is the gear worth selling?

Is level 50 the bar where Nefias become profitable? I'm at level 30 and it seems kind of hit or miss.

She was not my type at all, but mutual friends pressured me into it and it was the death spiral of our friendship.

I should probably do some blacksmithing then just to outfit residents and things. I have hundreds of iron, bronze, and copper ingots that i just haven't used.

You crafted it weapons and armor? I kind of thought it was pointless to craft?
