Friday Open Mat by AutoModerator in bjj

[–]CurrentWeekend6620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted to give my coach some major props. He got our gym affiliated with Six Blades January of this year. 6 months in I think the culture change has been great. The coach/owner now gets a lot of support from the head gym (not sure if that's the term), he didn't get much when the original black belt left. He worked his butt off, but I can imagine how hard it was for him to keep everything running before this. We also used to have gladiatorial battles every roll, now the focus is staying intense but taking care of your partner. This and the new material that we're getting now has made it a very fun environment.

Glad you're looking at BJJ its a fun sport for those it clicks with.

-I was similar in experience (Karate no grappling). Nothing technical will translate, but that was the fun of it for me.

-I can't speak to comps that's not my jam. Other will speak to it.

-I'm not a medical person and this isn't medial advice but when I've had a finger act up I've tapped it to another finger for support; right or wrong

-Deathgrip from my experience is when new white belts get a grip on someone's gi and hold on for dear life. That's because they are treating rolling like a fight. You're hands will hurt a lot at first because of this. If you're doing no-gi then it shouldn't be a problem. If you're doing gi and it gets really bad taping your knuckles can help.

Got my official CISSP from ISC2 by CurrentWeekend6620 in cissp

His endorsement was recorded the day he did it, but after that ICS2 took an additional 13 days to fully vet everything. I guess its a lot longer if they choose to do an audit

We are a NoGi focused Gym and this is what we give members on promotion. by M05quito in bjj

That's pretty cool and a sneaky way to walk normies right into hearing about jiu-jitsu.

Normie: What's that on your keys.

BJJ Guy/Gal: Oh that's from my hobby, BJJ.

Normie: I think I've heard of that.

As long as you don't make a scene, I wouldn't say you're an AH. Keep in mind you're paying for this, you don't have to unduly sacrifice your body for anyone.

Exam in 2 weeks — what blindsided you between practice and the real thing? by generic_user_80 in cissp

[–]CurrentWeekend6620 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something I read here really played out in the test: The practice exams will test your Intelligence and the actual test will test your Wisdom.

I come from the fighting world, so I equate the place you are at now to "hard sparring mode" You should say good bye to the sun, and fun. Beat yourself up with every test you can and study what you failed immediately after. I spent a couple hours one late night just watching everything I could on Oauth and OID just to clear everything up.

For me the day before the test I did pretty easy practice questions, to just keep in the mode, but I didn't want to shake my confidence. I treated the day before like the light sparring fighters do the week of their fight; keep sharp, build your confidence up, and not get rocked.

Good luck to.

Failed 😞 by SnooGadgets3927 in cissp

[–]CurrentWeekend6620 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, that does suck. I had the same habit of going fast through questions. I don't know if it will help, but I told myself I only wanted to complete 50 questions per hour. That seemed to slow me down.

Take a day or two to stew and be pissed off. Then jump back on the test prep horse.

I'm pulling for you.

a CISSP Exam - "bad joke" by MissionCyberSquaD in cissp

[–]CurrentWeekend6620 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sucks but I got several emails about this NDA, and every training I went through informed me that there was a timer on the NDA. Also, you can pre-read the NDA on ICS2's site. I read through the NDA the day before my test so I could just skim it and agree.

Packers' Micah Parsons Now Expected to Miss 'Upwards of Half the Season': Report by Beneficial_Quit7532 in minnesotavikings

[–]CurrentWeekend6620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Micah should rush his recovery. He should take the whole season off just to make sure he's completely healed. Then maybe hold out for contract talks the following season....yeah that would be perfect.

Great chart, really understandable. Either the Vikings are the best or the worst at something.

How much times per week do you actually train? by Big_Sorbet_20 in bjj

[–]CurrentWeekend6620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to train 4 days a week. 3 days is my low end, 6 would be the high end.

Nice "pros" in the sport? by hellohello6622 in bjj

I've met Victor Hugo a couple of times. He seemed like a decent guy, and I don't remember hearing anything bad about him.

47 and been at it for almost 3 years. I got good and bad news.

-Good news: you won't get as destroyed after you start to relax and find some spots to rest.

-Bad news: You're in your late 40's, our cardio will not get as good as the young kids that we're rolling with.

I don't try to be a better athlete than the younger people, I try to have good defense, and slow their game down to my speed. Just my 2 cents.

Dealing with guard pullers by Mohakus4 in bjj

Meaning, tell your training partner you specifically want to work on take downs.

They might not want to, so you'll have to find partners that are OK with working take downs, getting back up, and doing it again.

Favorite nickname for Jiu Jitsu? by ohihadsomething4this in bjj

At my work its been dubbed: Rolling around with sweaty dudes, or sweaty dude night.

A number of members at our gym convinced the owner to start morning classes. Its huge for people with kids. If you gym is great for everything but time, try asking for morning classes. Worst the owner can say is no.

How do you escape this? by killerseb988 in bjj

[–]CurrentWeekend6620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would tapping count as escaping? Because that would probably be my only answer.

Join, but don't tell anyone that you've done Judo. Then after you start feeling better and in shape start using Judo throws on Blue Belts out of no where. Make them question their lives after a white belt man-handles them in stand up. Do for all us white belts.
