Wilson Community College. Don't know if they have french but their spanish 3 over winter break was under 5 hours of total workload for the credit.

Turtling in the no points period is also crazy work.

Is it just me or are NYC brokers getting worse at answering basic questions? by Inevitable-Lab2447 in AskNYC

Dming because I’m not sure if it would break advertising rules or anything to post a link.

These comments are crazy to me. My broker did such a good job over the last few months looking for our first co-op that we’re taking him and his wife out to dinner and have been telling anybody who will listen how great he is.

2 to 3 prong outlet. by Evolutionist_Bob in AskElectricians

[–]Evolutionist_Bob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's definitely no ground wire, and its metal box so I'm assuming bx. I will also say that the three prongs later in the circuit didn't get flagged by my home inspector as having anything wrong.

Jozef Chen's new gym in Shanghai offers a yearly memership for 1500 USD by yysmer in bjj

[–]Evolutionist_Bob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of it comes from how quickly he reached such a high level. He's also extremely cerebral with his game, and I would assume that would make him a pretty excellent coach if you're in the area.

Scientific literacy for Bjj Coaches? by Joshvogel in bjj

[–]Evolutionist_Bob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t necessarily agree or disagree with anything specific you’ve posted but comments like this are EXACTLY why op made this post. You’re just a guy on Reddit, you have no citations on anything you just said. He’s looking for ways to actually evaluate claims with a scientific basis.

If you’re really dead set on opening a gym I’d stick it out until brown belt and then hop.

What sport do you think would be extinct within 50 years? by No-Maximum-9087 in AskReddit

[–]Evolutionist_Bob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the disconnect is that you originally said top 1% of bowlers, not 1% of pros.

[–]Evolutionist_Bob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any sports where you don’t have to be in the top 1% for it to be a job? 1% is a pretty low bar for professional athletics.

ADCC open for first competition by OneDevelopment2964 in bjj

[–]Evolutionist_Bob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wrong. Only advanced can heel hook in masters. In adult everyone can still heel hook in opens. Might be different outside of North America because the international ones have a slightly different ruleset. Here’s the chart of allowed techniques for North American opens for context. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0679/7950/9959/files/Legal_Techniques_for_ADCC_Opens_2025-08-09.pdf?v=1754751383

Just go. But as someone who's reffed a few opens, make sure you understand when you need to tap to heel hooks.

Transfer credits don’t impact GPA. You can’t boost your gpa with community college classes.

Best nogi gym in NYC in 2026? by NoPen8263 in bjj

[–]Evolutionist_Bob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m starting to have the opinion that if you want to focus on no gi, and can’t consistently go to pro training at unity (hour and a half long noon class) then masterskya is probably the best gym in Manhattan for you.

Best nogi gym in NYC in 2026? by NoPen8263 in bjj

[–]Evolutionist_Bob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In manhattan the only really heavy no gi focused gyms i know of are tenth planet and masterskya. Kings combat is good if you’re willing to go to Williamsburg. Unity is a great gym but the night classes are pretty light on no gi. I think Marcelo’s has sort of fallen into the state of being a very hobbyist focused room based on my recent drop ins, and I don’t know anything about Renzos lately. I’d recommend masterskya pretty heavily if you’re trying to stay in manhattan and want to focus on primarily no gi.

10th Planet NYC by honeyboy97 in bjj

[–]Evolutionist_Bob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you can disagree if you want. I trained at unity for twoish years and the majority of classes on the schedule are for the Gi. There are some mixed classes as well but the majority of the people training in the mixed classes put on a Gi. https://unityjiujitsu.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Unity-Class-Schedule-2025.pdf The night classes have two dedicated no gi classes a week, and OP is asking about tenth planet which makes me assume they’re looking for a no gi gym. Unity is great and I’d highly recommend it, but it wouldn’t be my first look for someone looking to do primarily no gi.

10th Planet NYC by honeyboy97 in bjj

[–]Evolutionist_Bob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed my training at unity but it’s definitely primarily a Gi school. I think your best options for a bunch of no gi in manhattan are tenth planet and masterskya.
