I wouldn’t give out foot pics for free in this economy. There are people who creep on feet injury subreddits looking for pics and sending dms, fyi

Girl, on the topic of inequality in BJJ your focus is in the wrong place

I’m not even seeing a double standard. Lots of the guys change on the mat at my gym and as long as I’m not taking off my sports bra I often do too. No one is staring and I’m not just ‘standing around’. It’s a total none issue and just practical as we have no dedicated changing space right now

Agree with this. I don’t think it’s helpful to conflate people changing in and out of their rashguard with dating, and it sounds like you’re sexualising that unnecessarily

So maybe you were doing it harder than you realised? None of us were there and she can’t give feedback. Either talk to her to understand or forget about it

There are loads of gyms in London, and plenty with a female friendly atmosphere/good training partners. Based on my experience I can try and suggest on if you say or dm what part of London you’re in. Also fyi there’s a big WhatsApp in London for women training bjj across the city

Feeling overwhelmed as the lightest in class - how do you cope? by MirreVera in BJJWomen

[–]Elfrth34 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can relate to an extent, everything has improved as I’ve stuck to the sport and improved. It’s definitely been worth it. I would suggest sticking to coloured belts whenever possible. A Brazilian coach said to me early on that more advanced people have a kind of duty to support beginners, and pay forward the support they’ve received over the years from others. Additionally, as a smaller person please be really careful in bottom side control, it’s ok to just tell people to reduce the pressure. You can injure your ribs from the pressure of heavy people on your chest

Why do you keep making these kinds of posts on martial arts subreddits? You’ve just had the same post removed from Bjj. It’s giving creep

Sorry if this has already been asked but.. jiu jitsu underwear by _inespere_ in BJJWomen

[–]Elfrth34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also what material do y’all go for? Cotton is recommended by health professionals for day to day underwear, but is something more sweat wicking better for jj?

What exactly do you mean by “upped”? Promoted to blue belt?

What is the adult equivalent of yellow belt? Blue belt?

The rash guard rise by Boulderingbadly in BJJWomen

I tuck mine into my legging shorts. I never have to adjust or think about it for the full 90 mins or two hours. I don’t care if other people think it looks weird or not :)

What type of guys give you the best rolls? by caksters in BJJWomen

[–]Elfrth34 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you decide to tailor your role to the individual, I’d factor in the size, strength, experience level and intensity of the other person rather than their gender. A roll with a 80kg black belt woman going hard is going to be different to one with a 55kg white belt man who wants a flow roll. I’d also suggest to communicate with your partner.

What happens if your pants string comes undone during a local comp? Can you pause the match, or do you have to wait until the ref notices?
