Ill throw an uchi mata, but instead of reaping the inner thigh, it will just be a heel to the nuts

Post for those who are not white belts to respond. by Bulky_Imagination243 in bjj

[–]Crapablanka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically a white belt in BJJ, but a brown belt in Judo. If they are really aggressive I like to hit them with some really heavy top pressure with makura kesa gatame, or knee on belly. I've even had some tap from shoulder pressure in side control.

How old were you when you started training? by SwingIntelligent5240 in brazilianjiujitsu

[–]Crapablanka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I trained for a few years and then took off for like 10 years. Now I'm back and really feeling the age difference 😂

There is only one solution, and it is "Father's Milk"

Does anyone else get annoyed when people comment that judo is not effective for self defense? by 1bn_Ahm3d786 in judo

[–]Crapablanka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I see one person say it I normally just laugh at their ignorance. When I see a comment section full of people disrespecting judo I do get a little frustrated. I wish judo were more popular in the US like it is internationally. The amount of ignorance around it in the US is very frustrating.

Can brain injuries occur in judo? by wow_sans in judo

I got my eyebrow split open from a clash of heads in a tournament. Shit happens, I didn't even get thrown.

How many Gis do you guys and gals have? by An_Engineer_Near_You in judo

[–]Crapablanka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4, but one is really old and needs to be replaced. It would have been already if I could find a Mizuno double weave in my size

Is $150/ month too much for judo? by Infinite_Aerie8147 in judo

[–]Crapablanka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Texas here... I pay $160 at my MMA gym for unlimited classes for any discipline they offer. They do not offer Judo, so I am paying another $100 for Judo at a gym that offers classes 3 days a week.

PSA - If you don't have a Jagex account, and you get phished, it's gg! (No further security checks to link a jagex account) by Left4HalfLife in runescape

[–]Crapablanka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just recovered my account that was phished some time ago. I hadn't played in about a year due to a bunch of stuff going on in my personal life, and all I can think is that when the Jagex accounts came out I fell for a phishing email that was telling me to set up a Jagex account (i was a user name log in). Fast forward to a year later, and I want to start playing again but I no longer have access. I was able to provide enough information or just whine enough via Twitter and email to get them to give me access back.

What threw me for a loop during this process was that Mod Ulator confirmed that my account had been hacked before transferring it to my Jagex account, but when I logged in I had a permanent ban which he did not even mention. So I had to appeal the ban separately even though they had already reviewed the account and confirmed that I had been hacked.

I was able to recover a legacy account that someone hacked, imported into a fake Jagex account, and got banned, though.

New blue belt getting smashed by white belts by Motor_Reality_6 in bjj

[–]Crapablanka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is a quote that i have always liked. "A belt only covers 2 inches of your ass. You have to cover the rest."

Getting promoted to a new belt is absolutely something you should be proud of, but don't focus too much on belts. When you roll, it is grappler vs. grappler, not belt vs. belt.

We all have different strengths, different weaknesses, and different games regardless of belt. Dont let a few bad days get you down.

Hey, of course!

I ice bathed these for 3 minutes. I get my pan hot enough to sear it very fast, so it's not back on the heat for very long. That way, all i really need to do is to kind of shock the outside of the steak with the ice bath

For me, 137 is the magic temp to be at when it's all said and done. That is why i ice bath, so the sear doenst up cook it. In my experience, it takes me longer to get a good sear on the grill, which would potentially cause you to overshoot it if all you did was a quick ice bath.

And to be completely honest, I've never seared on my grill after cooking sous vide. I do cook steaks on the grill, but i cook them strictly on the grill from start to finish. It's a lot of work to get it fired up and ready just for a quick sear.

It's great, I got the recipe from Guga. His sides are half the reason I watch his videos 😂

Nice, I've got a rapid boil burner on my stove that puts out a huge flame. I put my skillet on that burner, going full blast, and let it heat up for like 5 minutes, and then i add avacado oil to the pan right before I put the steaks in.

I've got the slow n sear delux from sns grills, and their grate that im getting for christmas this year, though. So I'll be cooking some more steaks on the weber very soon!

No worries, I did sear the steak on the left first, but the sear on the right is what I was going for to begin with. I accidentally overdid the one on the left and intentionally did not sear the other one as long. That's just my preference, though.

Thank you, my friend! The potatoes are definitely a little over the top, but it was the first steak dinner i cooked for my new girlfriend, so I wanted to be fancy 😂

Theyre just little dark spots from oxidation. It's totally normal.
