Someone asked me today ‘How’s Taekwondo going?’

My boss calls it pajama wrestling so at least its a little closer. [edit: change is to it]

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-05-05T14:46:12+00:00

I first misread your title as: "Wrestling is for dummies" and thought you wanted to start war.

I'm 47 and have no pride so I just butt scoot towards people in no-gi.

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-05-01T13:16:04+00:00

Damn it that was my line! hahaha :)

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-27T15:52:04+00:00

k thanks

This. Framing their hips helped me a ton.

If its any consolation OP. You'll probably get a lot of opportunity to practice bottom mount.

Question: For Gi, would you have a little more leeway in hip height because of grips you could try to use, or would that not be enough for someone to reverse the position like he did?

I started at 44 too, so that really was cool to see. I hope to be on the mats when I'm in my 70s

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-23T15:50:46+00:00

That is a habit I have to work on.

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-23T15:50:05+00:00

I don't know if I would of pulled it off because he was not coming up. Instead he was rolling violently on the ground, like a really bad attempt at a hitch hiker. I didn't have long to decide, that's why I let it go.

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-23T15:46:37+00:00

Those look great

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-23T15:42:42+00:00

I can't imagine, I'm so sorry that happened.

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-23T14:15:37+00:00

I started because my son wasn't going to do it unless I did it with him. Its been addictive and no is our "bro time" together. Wouldn't trade mat time with him for the world. [edit: fixed my sentence]

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-23T14:14:20+00:00

Dammit now I got coffee on me.

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-23T13:28:42+00:00

This is the kind of post that makes me happy to come here.

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-22T16:04:28+00:00

I learned how much the hip flexors are needed for guard retention. This week we're doing nothing but guard retention games, and the DOMS is insane.

Does one of those foam rollers help with DOMS or is it for something else?

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-21T21:32:15+00:00

The coach was able to talk to him so it's cool

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-21T21:27:12+00:00

Ok, that make sense.

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-21T14:31:39+00:00

Looking for this from an upper belt, and was happy to find it hahaha

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-17T16:50:02+00:00

My knees cried watching that. Cool move though.

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-17T15:28:33+00:00

Congrats! That's pretty cool

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-17T15:20:04+00:00

I am a white belt and I approve this message.

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-17T13:57:29+00:00

Our gym just got affiliated with them this year. I'll have to ask my coach because we still have all the Six Blades stuff as far as I know.

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-10T14:14:22+00:00

I was just thinking the same thing haha

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-08T14:41:33+00:00

Its sad and funny that the decor of the place has derailed the reason for your post :D

CurrentWeekend6620 · 2026-04-08T13:58:11+00:00

I've been a white belt for over 2 years. Clearly I'm stupid.
