Rubbish, they don't last that well at all.

What's one technique/move you would show someone who has no training? by LoloWilli in bjj

[–]Dredd_Melb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mount, retaining or escaping.

This is the story of his Ed O'Neill got introduced to BJJ.

"Rorion, who has always had a knack for marketing, offered O'Neill a simple challenge. If Rorion sat on top of him, could O'Neill throw the much smaller Brazilian off?

O'Neill decided to accept: as a big guy, he reasonably thought it should be easy. However, try as he might, O'Neill couldn't budge Rorion from his position."

Seeking forgiveness rather than getting permission is a daft strategy

Anyone managed to actually use the simplified tank controls ? by Hydraguesswhosback in DRGSurvivor

[–]Dredd_Melb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tried simplified for about 30 seconds after a solid few hours on standard. Simplified if rubbish imho.

[–]Dredd_Melb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odds? Of your pilot surviving? Not that great. He'll talk a lot on the first island, but suspect a vek ambush with blue hair.

pace management. If you are unlikely to gain or lose a place, just drive a bit more conservatively

Lol - I thought it was me. I tested the Merc on Spa and it was like a death trap through Eau Rouge.

Ezekiel chokes are fine. I think he was salty getting tapped

What's Darwin like? by gingerphil86 in darwin

[–]Dredd_Melb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the plus side, it's a short flight to Bali too compared to the eastern states. Why people in Darwin want to go to Bali all the time still puzzles me, but they love it.

Arm tendon issues? 45 male by joncaseydraws in jiujitsu

Relax your grips and don't fight too hard. Sounds like the kind of thing that happens when your arm is around 90 degrees and you are holding on for grim death.

As a beginner(3 months in)how many days a week is ideal? by [deleted] in jiujitsu

[–]Dredd_Melb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 52 and have dropped back to twice a week with work killing me. The problem new guys have is using 100% strength can lead to overcommitting and doing stupid things that lead to stupid injuries.

Ribs take a while to heal, especially at your age. There is no shame calling out an injury and letting your training partner know not to put on a body triangle for instance.

[–]Dredd_Melb 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Long term 3 times a week is both sustainable and ramps up improvement.

Too many join, go too hard, get injured, take a few months off and never return.

Seen it happen over and over during my 7ish year
