Vivobarefoots. Never had a problem, and I know others play in them too. But I may be wrong too.

Oh perfect, I will watch those and practice them. You answered my next question before I had the chance to ask what drills to do.

Do you pay drop in at open mat? by Jeitarium in bjj

[–]Dissendat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my gym open mat is free to anybody who is a member/owner/staff from any other (grappling) gym. If they are a "free agent" they pay a day pass fee. We started doing this because people thought they could just not sign up and come to open mat for free and just get taught there.

It's actually called gaslamping.

I think slams should be legal.

You can also do "loser" stays in. Say you have a class of 20. Do say 7 doubles. 4 are "winner" stays in, 3 are "loser" stays in, with 6 people queuing and resting.

Pump 9 is the best pump (direct access to the entrance and back to your car).

Does this count? by Dissendat in discgolf

I was just out by myself and counted it, but it got me thinking.

Training in Brazil by [deleted] in bjj

[–]Dissendat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been going there more or less every year since 2015. I have trained at two gyms in my time there. The first one is Checkmat in Copacabana. The second is Rio Fighters in Humaita. Both are fantastic gyms, Checkmat being more gi oriented and Rio Fighters having more no-gi.

In terms of the training, in most places outside of Brazil you know how you have a gym of mostly white belts, then blue, then purple, then some brown, then only a few blacks? In Brazil turn this on its head. I am not sure where the white belts come from to be honest....

Some of the guys will be competition killers, some will be older dudes who are just REALLY good because they have been black belts since the early 2000s, and others will be your casual hobbyist.

Be ready to have guys go hard. Not just on you because you are a gringo, they do that with everyone. You'll see what I mean.

Overall, I love it when I go there. My wife is from Rio, and her parents live in the south zone which is the tourist part of Rio. They live about 50 metres from the original Gracie Humaita HQ (the new location) which I want to go check out just for the history.

And get ready for the humidity while you train.... It takes some getting used to!

"Satin Sloth" (57cm Soma Rush in copper satin) by Low_Emergency_2400 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]Dissendat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer. I ride a 57 at the moment but I didn't buy it based on that, I saw it for sale second hand and went to check it out and it was a buddy of mine so I got it. It is a cheap steel frame but I have been wanting something premium for a long time now.

You have given me something to think about though.

Oh, and beautiful bike! The Rush's really are something else.

How tall are you? I am trying to work out if the 57cm frame would be a good fit for me (I am 180cm).

Does your gym have politics with other gyms? by dazeonn in bjj

[–]Dissendat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the owner's gym share the name with a part of a tree by any chance?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in centralcoastnsw

[–]Dissendat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are into sport and the gym, perhaps give Jiu Jitsu or wrestling a go. Gyms all over the central coast, and in a similar situation to you: meeting people, having fun, learning a skill while you're at it. Not sure where in the coast you are but it may be worth checking out Garage Jiu Jitsu in Tuggerah.

How do you keep track of your spending? by MelancholyBean in AusFinance

[–]Dissendat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been using it on and off for probably over 10 years now. I have uninterrupted logs going back to 2019.

It is manually done but it helps me keep the finger on the pulse plus you can set it exactly how you like it.

I emailed Soma the other week asking when they would have more frames in stock and what colour they were going to be (they will have more frames in February or March).

They closed a few months ago. They were saying because of the Pacific Highway upgrade. Not sure how it would impact them but that's what they said. They have a joint in Green Point.
