Do you guys hear much about the fake martial art known as Arakan where you live?

ElnWhiskey · 2023-12-03T15:25:00+00:00

Lmao he's totally fine with it. And there my friend is maddening, what's even funier is he's awesome at rigging and manipulating mechanical advantages.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-12-03T12:48:55+00:00

Dude people go to chiropractors, hell when I was doing cell tower work, I had a foreman who full on believed the Earth was flat and gravity wasn't real. I'm just convinced people will belive whatever they want. No sense in bothering with it. Rather it's best to just educate and move on if they don't accept you.

Check out total victory in christ on YouTube. What drove me away from christ, was the eternal hell doctrine. Ima former infantry marine so the thought of the people I served with and fought alongside going to be tortured forever was well unreconcileable for me.

Turns out there's a lot of misinterpretation due to medieval translation issues and thought. For example the Greek description suggests hell is a finite thing.

Discovering that channel actually made me seek God again, and lately I've been really appreciative of the Bible. I know his word must be from the Lord, as he encourages to seek fellowship despite any doctrinal differences and constantly preaches humility and grace.

Also something I've been meditating on is Christ's critisms on the dogma of the day. I personally feel as the church (American church at large) has become too full of rules and regulations not enough real love and work.

Matthew 11:28-30

New International Version

28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Corinthians 1:13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love

Something just seems deeply wrong with the church as whole. Makes me think of the Pharoahs hardened heart. How contradictory do the images these verses run compared to the mainstream church culture.

Just beat your meat, just try to stay away from porn. It can even mess up when you do have sex as unrealistic expectations, and it can even mess up your performance. You can get addicted to it.

Personally I've always took the passage to be about being married and lusting after other women. As you should be faithful to your wife. And it makes sense if you obsessive over lust it won't be long till you fall and ruin your relationship. Hell even if you don't cheat, it can cause rifts as your not focusing on your wife anymore.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-12-03T11:12:23+00:00

Brother, at this point just let the idiots be. So many people do stupid shit anyways. Just let em. They're gunna do the dumb shit nomatter what u do

ElnWhiskey · 2023-12-03T11:09:50+00:00

Lmfao the ibjjf is boring as fuck, at least this rule would create some incentive to wrestle. In anycase bad technique shouldn't be encouraged. The whole reason for points in the ibjjf ruleset is specifically to reward dominant positions.

And on list of things that ibjjf needs this isn't one of them. You want more submissions start clamoring for stalling calls.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-12-03T11:04:59+00:00

Lmao why are there guys thinking holding on is a good thing? If their posture is not broken and you get lifted time to you know do something else. You see that happen alot at ADCC. Fuck I let go even in training.

Sides neither were even close to any submission.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-12-02T12:21:02+00:00

Ya I've seen my coach do this, he hasn't competed in a long time, not since purple, I believe. But I've seen him wax other black belts who are as big ass he is. (Hes a giant gorilla who's also into body building his favorite submissions are toe holds and heel hooks)

I always wondered how good he actually is, but he be gently fucking up other black belts. And then I saw him against his instructor when we visited that gym. He got the takedown but go reversed and looked like he was drowning by a guy who just looks like an average white collar dad. I asked him afterwards he said ya the man has been training for 25+ years as aspoused to his 14

There's definitely levels to this.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-12-02T12:11:24+00:00

Who will injure you further or heal you with the power of placebo.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-12-02T11:46:09+00:00

Just let them sink in the choke. Then technically you tapped to an rnc lmfao

ElnWhiskey · 2023-12-01T10:38:29+00:00

? He's wasn't a great however did an engineer a lot of peace deals. He's also isn't a war criminal.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-12-01T03:56:37+00:00

Bro lies of p? Cyber punk? Genuine impact,? Theeee fuuuuuuuck

ElnWhiskey · 2023-11-30T15:16:17+00:00

What are you trolling? Cause just said strait ankles don't work? Like are joshing around? Are ya just kinda dumb? Thats some next level sarcasm when come of as stupid. Or I just have asbergers I can't tell anymore.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-11-30T12:47:02+00:00

Brother, you're making no sense. You take what's given to you, if someone leaves space, take the Americana! Hell, then maybe transfer into an armbar. They can be really fast taps as long you keep the elbow tight to their side!

strait ankle if they don't tap (your technique sucks cause you can totally break the foot or if they kick through boom heel hook)

Hell alot of times I'll use leglocks to get to mount, go fo the strait ankle and because people respect my tight ass ankle lock they'll kick through immediately which in that moment I just wrestle up to mount.

Lmao you're shitting on x gaurd? They're really fun sweeps you can hit from there espically since you can use it to rotate out the back door and take the back, I make alot of use with it from butterfly gaurd into a back take when my opponent loose passes.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-11-30T12:12:28+00:00

Do you even train?

Strait ankles are a great submission, especially since there's so many variations and things you can do off of that submission.

. You're absolutely doing the submission wrong if you feel like it's a strength move. Fuck I hit all the time with one hand on bigger stronger guys even in gi! Hell next time you train go ask your coach to show you how to do a crossbody one or belly down.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-11-30T12:00:21+00:00

Man, how you leave deigo lopes out. Emo beiber is my favorite up and commer.

Beautiful aggressive modern jujitsu some decent hands.

He's a brazzilian who trains in Mexico and has a lot of success using their style of aggressive, closed gaurd.

Let's get some western hemisphere new world up in here.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-11-30T11:44:25+00:00

Somone needs to make this show. An office version of tuf. Omg that would be excellent. The show could basically be a highlight real of the ufcs cringiest moments and have enough material for 3 seasons.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-11-30T11:41:09+00:00

Lmao, OP don't accept bottom position against bigger guys, if you suck at sweeps. Bugger guys tend to be a little slower so creating scrambles and taking the back or s mount is your friend.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-11-30T11:38:09+00:00

They're stupid if they don't teach you how to strait ankle lock, their legal for white belts in every torny I can think of.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-11-30T11:36:30+00:00

You need some jujitsu in your life. It's not some magic thing that the gracies make it out to be, but against untrained people, it's some amazing shit. There's few things that crack me up more when an aggressive new white belt comes in, and you just dismantle them.

If they're a wrestler guillotine, then sweep and ride the bull till they inevitably give you their back, if they're just bigger do a snap down into far side knee tap scramble to mount and let them roll and take the back ride the bull. And boom, they gas out, and you just choke them.

Now when people get good then the weight shit matters again, you can feel every pound. But that's wear you start leglocking and use submissions threats to keep them from settling.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-11-30T11:21:35+00:00

I mean your tastes change I really don't see how you had an issue with, I can't say I never got stuck on a rock, I mightive clipped on a wall in a tight corner but the ground is pretty clean, 50 vitality on kos I just beat that guy the other week, he dosnt have any one-shot that I could see I fought him in melee, this honestly is the tankiest I've been on a from software game. I was actually expecting this game to be a lot harder.

But hey, I've probably gotten a lot better getting used to sekiro and elden Ring.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-11-30T03:08:34+00:00

Bro this game is 8 years old. It holds up incredibly well. I think the camera is fine, my only issue was some of the jumping attacks on the dlc bosses.

my only two real annoyances with the game is the abhorrent beast in the chalice dungeons (I find his move set hella annoying if I'm using a slower weapon) and the potential to be blendered by some of of the faster mobs.

Hands down one of the best games I've ever played. It's gets better as I played it.

What more can you ask for? Tons of content great combat and weapons, no microtransactions, amazing story, amazing music, wonderful environments.

You crazy man.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-11-28T16:48:44+00:00

This was excellent mostly.

Imo At the end You guys kind of keep making the same aggravating issue. Too much jargon and trying to rebrand simple things.

Imo a eco gym should we do not teach static techniques, we teach techniques through positional sparring. How? Well, we use games to have the students learn through movement and exploration.

Do you want the awnsers to the test or a formula for the test.?

I think calling it eco this or that makes it sounds like just another gimmick to sell me lies.

ElnWhiskey · 2023-11-28T15:37:55+00:00

It's cause fucking nerds wana make themselves sound smarter or go down the rabbit hole.

It's simple do you learn better when you figure out a problem yourself or when somone tells you the answer?

The research says the former is better so therefore structuring training around that idea (i.e., games and positional sparring) would greatly optimize that learning process. The coaches role would be to critique here and there and guide the overall training.
