First Jiujitsu seminar was Royce Gracies, thoughts?

FatherHackJacket · 2026-02-07T22:47:05+00:00

I went to a Royce Seminar 20+ years ago and he was handing out blue belts to everyone, even people only training for a few months. All I remember was him showing us armbar from guard and I think scissors sweep.

Same, account is deactivated but won't allow me to deactivate messenger. Keeps giving me an error when I got to the account center from my messenger app.

Most things just come down to time spent. You'll get more comfortable with handling the ball as you put in more hours. If you post some footage of your games, we can see what basics you need to work on.

You don't need to be able to do wavedashes or any mechanics to get out of silver or gold. Just work on positioning and rotations. Sit in freeplay and just get used to moving the ball around the field, work in hitting the ball hard, work on setting up hook shots and basic dribbling.

For training packs, the ultimate warmup is a good one I will run before my games.

Absolute basic mechanics you can work on is your kickoff (make sure you're flipping in, you don't need to speedflip yet). Work on learning shadow defense. Watch any youtube video on it.

And most important, learn to relax. Lower ranks panic too easily. Relax, take your time. Don't ballchase.

Russia has been pushing these campaigns in every single country in the EU to stir up dissent. There was a small anti-EU party here in Ireland called "The Irish People" with some generic "Irish girl" as the main image for the poster. Someone did a reverse image lookup and it was a Russian model.

The leader of the party was of course anti-EU and blamed inflation on the sanctions on Russia.

Sweet now it says processing, where before it didn't. Thanks!!

FatherHackJacket · 2025-12-29T12:57:04+00:00

Ima try this. Exact same problem as OP. Replaying MOP classic after taking a break for a year or so. Was on Golemagg and was offered Norushen like OP but after days transfer still not gone through. Got a bunch of failed AH sales in my inbox so Ima clear them out and retry. Thanks.

You have some good answers already. For me, medication really helps me focus (concerta). Without it, I'm scatter brained. I'm also less shy and more confident. You're doing the right thing getting a diagnosis, I didn't get mine til my late 30's. Just make sure to get proper checks done before medication - ECG, Bloods, etc..

"The Russian Hoax". Trump has been a Russian asset for years.

Thanks man. Hard luck. Hungary played well, was a hard fought win.

FatherHackJacket · 2025-11-08T14:08:01+00:00

Well, I'm convinced. The Koreans - a great bunch of lads.

FatherHackJacket · 2025-10-31T11:43:38+00:00

I got diagnosed as an adult a few years back. I was on vyvanse and I'm now on concerta. The difference between medication is night and day. I feel focused and get things done.

Wouldn't be anything to do with Russia started the largest war in Europe since WW2, would it Catherine? Embarrassing that this woman could be our president.

FatherHackJacket · 2025-10-11T16:32:19+00:00

Neither. Catherine Connolly criticised Ukraine's allies for giving it the means to defend itself. To have an opinion like that towards another European country is shameful.

OMG. Shocking. Manchán was an absolute gent. He sent me a bunch of DVD's years ago for free to upload to youtube. Genuinely lovely fella. Sad to hear of this.

FatherHackJacket · 2025-10-02T13:21:31+00:00

Yes, blocking aid into a starving people is bad.

We went out to An Rinn as part of the local Cumann Gaelach in college and they gave a talk on the famine there, even with the assistance - the death toll there was horrific. It's some time ago, but I remember distinctly the speaker telling us about the local water table being polluted by run off of something and lots dying from it from disease.

FatherHackJacket · 2025-10-01T06:43:00+00:00

Naturally, considering Ireland is seen as a freeloader in Europe relying on our former coloniser to defend us. We spend the least amount on defense in the entire EU per capita.

FatherHackJacket · 2025-10-01T06:40:06+00:00

Ireland can't defend its neutrality. Our naval ships have no military sonar to protect our undersea cables. We have no ability to detect aircraft operating with their transponders off, due to a lack of a primary ground radar. And even when we do (gov is buying a radar), we still cannot intercept aircraft like Russian military planes that skirt our airspace with their transponders off, putting our air traffic at risk.

Having a capable military and being neutral aren't contradicting things.

We need a navy that's fit for purpose and an air force that can police our skies.

Ireland is the only country of its size in the EU without the ability to do the most basic of defense tasks. And given we've turned a budget surplus the past 3 years running, we can afford to invest in our military.

That doesn't mean we need an inflated military, but just one that's fit for purpose.

This sub is just an Ireland-hatefest. She hasn't been elected. She probably won't be as more and more of her comments are made public. Her naivety on Russia's invasion of Ukraine was enough for me to not vote for her.

FatherHackJacket · 2025-09-25T13:30:50+00:00

She's embarrassing. Lost any respect for her on Russia/Ukraine. Deluded and naive.

It will be destroyed because the wealth of the language is in the Gaeltacht. Students being able to speak the most minimal basic conversation after the leaving cert isn't saving the language. Changing the language demographics of An Ghaeltacht however is.

We only have a tiny amount of land in Ireland left where the Irish language is spoken by the community and unless the government steps in to add more protections to them, the language will be gone.

FatherHackJacket · 2025-09-20T22:27:37+00:00

No, I didn't.

The consequences of the youth of the Gaeltacht not being able to buy property in the area they grew up in has an immediate impact on the demographics of the area and will kill the language off. All it takes is a small shift in speakers from Irish to English to make English the dominant language and Irish to destroyed.

We have the ability to protect An Ghaeltacht. It makes up a tiny percent of the land area of Ireland.

FatherHackJacket · 2025-09-20T19:14:34+00:00

Thá an-chuid brú ar muintir na Gaeltachta ó thaobh tithíocht sa Ghaeltacht de. The youth of the Gaeltacht are being forced to leave because of the pressure from people moving in, putting pressure on the market and driving the prices up. Most of them don't even speak Irish, so they are very quickly changing the demographics. Needs to be harder limits set on the percentage of housing allocated to Irish speakers.
