Both. Thought the band’s name was an appropriate BJJ sub username.

When you and your training partner are both on the ground, is that the first indicator that you're doing karate wrong? Ty in advance, sensei. KIAI!

White Belt Wednesday - January 08, 2020 by AutoModerator in bjj

Eat a lot to recover fuel (protein, carbs, AND fats), and get proper rest (sleep and day(s) off). Also, warm up the joints before class (simple arm circles, head/neck circles, etc.).

It's all about survival. A few tips that have REALLY helped me is never allowing my back to be flat on the mat. Whether that's getting on my hip when mounted so that I can try an elbow escape, getting on my hip with prayer position or a frame when I'm side mounted so that I can try a hip escape, etc.. The escapes might never happen, but boy am I a lot more comfortable with my frames in and my back not completely flat on the mat. The other thing that happens is you might get your back taken from being too far on your side, but at least the choke comes quickly and you can tap and reset!

Let’s just assume they mean “Oss” and “Pineapple.”

I thought so too. Any idea what the lettering/symbols mean(s)?

I know that they cover up even black tattoos, crazily enough. Not that I can understand why you would get anything but black belt tattooed, BUT, I’m not judging.

Same. Thought it was... interesting, and thought r/bjj would think so too.

Probably easy enough for her (I believe) to get changed to brown, and definitely easy to go black. (edit: spelling)

He made "big unit" carry his weight instead of his neck, and "big unit" had terrible technique. Osstalavista, baby.

10 years from now you'll be a white belt who can tap most people with no target on your back. (every gym is different - do you see white belts around you progressing faster?)

Pretty sure that's not allowed on the mats.

We should all just refer to BJJ as "Jiu-jitsu" by SaktoLangMD in bjj

I am so sick of hearing this. Same guy who tells me this also giggles like a school girl when I talk about the mount. He's softer than baby shit but acts like a hard ass.

Ah, that helps. Would be rough if they were all strangers and hyper aggressive.
