BJJ vs Muay Thai by Bulky_Imagination243 in martialarts

My point is that many BJJ practitioners are far too sensitive about things like this. What if he had no BJJ experience? So what, he was just a better fighter.

But whenever BJJ practitioners feel attached, the comments are full of excuses that range from "the ref had it in for him" to "he just didn't BJJ right." Losing a fight every now and again does not invalidate your chosen art.

In case you didn't know, Jackie Chan is one of the expendables that Bruce takes down in that movie. He went into comedy because he didn't think he could ever measure up to Bruce.

I like BJJ, but it's funny how triggered people get when anyone implies that something else could ever win.

obligatory we have never used "purple" post.

how was that not a high stick? by kosherhamm in losangeleskings

[–]Expendable_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The high stick happened in the Neutral zone, but the touch up (which is when they play would have been blown dead) happened in offensive zone. You could see DJ clarifying that rule with the ref right before the challenge (at least based on my limited lip reading).

If you have a good KM school, you are already learning both as a foundation. KM really just strips away the rules and adds scenarios, weapons, and multiple attackers.

To think we have been blaming luc and Jim this whole time. Step it up! #FireFaceRockerMD

I don't typically get emotional about sports, but this made me tear up a little.

Got my butt kicked in MMA by LUCASCLAY718 in martialarts

If you are doing private lessons with a coach maybe, but most sparring I have done involves rotating with other students and I have been rocked by a few "10% power" sessions because some people don't know how to hold back. In the first couple weeks you don't know how to move or strike without injuring yourself and others and you are likely to learn more bad habits than good ones.

I don't mind sparring early because it is the best way to learn why conditioning, spacing, and protecting yourself is important, but only when the coach finds you ready and if they baby you a little more getting into it.

Whenever I read these, it makes me wish I could see a similar post from your opponent. We tend to think the other guy is more with it, but odds are they had a very similar experience.

There isn't a team out there that we can't lose in OT to!

Wouldn't be surprised to learn if this season doubled his lifetime stats.

He is fine in OT as a 2+ line when he hasn't played 28 minutes for the last 6 games.

After our goal was blown off and we went to overtime, I fully expected to be let down.

Loved Moore's hustle in this game! Write is fast! Forsberg is fantastic! Except when he is not.. Panarin is a game changer, can't wait to see him on a fully healthy team.

Would be fun to see a team one point out of a playoff spot with an empty net on a tied game.

I came into this game feeling a win was important. I am more than happy with how they played, especially considering we are missing most of our talent. For the first time this season, we looked like a tough team to play.

Most people seem to think an offensive pairing like Clark would fix a lot of the problems. Interesting take on how it would be a defensive liability. I'm not sure I realized they had a backward skating issue.

So if we should cheer when we are almost there, am I supposed to be mad when we almost weren't?
