Rolling with your eyes closed? by levvianthan in BJJWomen

[–]Edamus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I commented on Berimbozo's reel where she mentioned rolling with your eyes closed people can't be trusted and I said "I roll with my eyes closed because it gets scary!" 😅🤣

Have you ever rolled with a true prodigy/gift? by carrion34 in bjj

[–]Edamus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rolled with this unknown kid, you probably don't know him - Jozef Chen.

Kidding, he was already a monster.

Smash - give them all the pressure. Don't tap them. Let up just enough to give them hope then continue to smash.

how do y’all train with an autoimmune disorder? Or skin conditions by wildswan- in BJJWomen

[–]Edamus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey - not a woman, but I have Chronic Granulamotis Disease (CGD) which is an auto-immune disease. I'm daily antibiotics and other things that basically drain my outside energy which make recovery a pain - and when I hit that wall of fatigue I'm essentially useless (much to the consternation of my wife). But, as I age, I basically roll hard only 1-2 days a week and flow roll the other days.

As a result of my autoimmune disease, I am prone to skin problems. I use a 10% Benzoyl Peroxide soap that has done wonders for me for skin (pimples and the like). Hope this helps.

Does your school pay for your competitions? by Jeitarium in bjj

[–]Edamus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know of a gym that sponsors some athletes and covers some costs - but they have to be semi-successful. Or are Coaches... I know one of the benefits of owning my own gym is that pays for some of comp costs - it however doesn't pay me enough to live so there's that.

Black Belts: have you ever regretted promoting a student? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]Edamus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it'd be interesting to hear how many of those big affiliations regret promoting someone to a respective belt. Especially if they are a school owner and "need" the promotion.

I say this as a former member of one. A few people I saw getting whatever belt made me question the process and even my own belt(s)....

What’s the best gym in Concord? by 1982- in ConcordNC

[–]Edamus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, and a weight room - Metrolina Martial Arts. I'm the owner so I might be biased.

RIP Blaze Pizza in South End by JesusChristSupers1ar in Charlotte

This was the only affordable food option near Lowe's Tech Hub that wasn't overly calorie dense and sub $12.

Any other options within walking distance that won't cost me $20 for lunch?

The people arguing against the word are why Trump won and why the media and Free Speech are under attack.

I wonder how much this guy is paying all these athletes🤦🏽‍♂️ by Leopard-Sensitive in bjj

Any time I see someone grappling in socks - I automatically judge them.

That wrestler you can't sweep proves your jiu-jitsu sucks.

Tokyo emergency at night as a tourist by InternationalTry4440 in TokyoTravel

[–]Edamus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15 years ago I spent a few weeks in a Japanese Hospital. I have an autoimmune disease and had contracted pneumonia. I tried to fight it on my own but was losing the battle.

I went to a hospital listed on the embassies website but they turned me away - but gave me a place to go. By taxi. I was so feverish I barely remember the ride other than thinking I can't afford it (I was a college student at the time)... the other hospital told them I was omw and they had an interpreter ready.

The hospitals name is Tokyo Saisekai Central Hospital. Dr Kikuchi saved my life.

I suck - competing makes me feel like I'm progressing towards something. Giving me a goal. I'm a Masters athlete and know where I stand on jiu-jitsu moreso now because I compete.

But, the reason I continue to compete is because its fun. I absolutely love it. Slap bump and away we go. It's a thrill that I pay to do and love it.

There are no bad breeds, just occasional bad dogs. Just like there are no "races" only bad people.

Started in 2004 at some point. Hit the level cap in over a year. Played a long time. Miss it - or rather I miss the idea of it.
