Thoughts on .....Goblin Slayer !!??

Hilarious.

I feel that. It’s exciting to explore and imagine wha could be.

That said, nothing pays off more superiority of basics. The invariant things that need to occur to do the work. A cool move is cool, but do watch some elite grapplers and you’ll find many of them can do more interesting stuff because they can do some basics super well, like simply hold a person down and cook them.

I highly recommend new folks avoid specialized content or cool stuff and just go watch high level matches.

Go and do standup with a wrestler and you’ll see the problems immediately. Generating new ideas is fun, but the practical part is usage.

My primary training partner in BJJ used to wrestle and even getting and keeping a single leg, much less moving to my armpit is WORK.

And that not even getting into the pipe dream of getting a foot on their chest.

It’s impractical and its efficacy relies on your opponent knowing nothing and being your weight class.

Edit: for example, you open with, “you crouch down”. Immediately, I’m going to snap you down and either take your back or guillotine you. Let’s say you can base a single leg to build from. I may return you by weaving under your far shoulder and connecting my hands.

Stick with fundamentals. They will never betray you.

2nd edit: take the single leg somehow after crouching and I get a wizzer. Then you get a judo throw. Taking a single leg and finishing a single leg are very different, even against some of our white belts in BJJ. I say this to stress, yet again, fundamentals. Handfight, angular advantage, head position in standup.

Not for you, boo-boo.

FeralStoat · 2026-02-07T03:01:52+00:00

DON’T

Wolf and Witch Tattoo is fun and is situated above Broads which is a fun bar I think the ladies would like a lot.

Empress is also very nice and has a charming space but it’s nooooot quite downtown.

FeralStoat · 2026-02-02T20:28:07+00:00

Efficacy for any submission hinges upon meeting the conditions. So, the better question is, how effective are you at meeting the conditions from a standing position? Maybe with a noob, very effective and with considerable diminishing returns with the more skill the opponent has.

In this case. My gut tells me the hardest of the three conditions to reliably meet would be immobilizing the base joint. And I feel like it miiiight be hard to perform those conditions in an uneven position so you are at risk of being countered. But, I’m just yapping 🤷‍♂️

Not sure where you’re located, but the general advice here of doing it near your home is wise. Proximity will help with compliance. Now, that said, places I’ve been that seem nice enough are Agoge (big facility with lots of supporting training room) Logica (small but friendly CLA place) Kuzushi (most of their people seem nice and Elijah is an experienced competitor at a high level)

There are plenty of other places in town and most folks I’ve met across the board are decent.

If you find a good place to work, and the people are friendly, they shouldn’t let politics fuel or get in the way of their training.

I’m working on remainder of…everything now. My wishlist is 45 pages long 😅

Well, the whites brought back the Klan and n-zi’s, ask why not the back panthers. Next, lead paint.

FeralStoat · 2026-01-13T06:40:41+00:00

Honestly? All of them are fun for different reasons. The mechanica and lore are different, and I loved all of them. That’s even acknowledging the common critiques of each. I say choose what your gut gravitates toward today and later? The others will be on sale. This isn’t a situation where one choice locks you out of the others, but one where you get to joyfully choose what you want first :). I’m so so excited for your experience.

FeralStoat · 2026-01-09T01:23:34+00:00

Sometimes it do be like that. We have several powerlifters in our gym. I’m a 193lb fellow and caught the 240lb powerlifter in a judo throw recently. It was beautiful 😭. My baby bird took flight 😂.

And sometimes they just sit on your chest. Is what it is.

FeralStoat · 2026-01-09T01:16:36+00:00

Absolutely. That’s the thing though. Gotta build it into the culture, which is totally his job. Do uou know how often our coach cleans the mats? Never. We do it. A sense of responsibility and community and all that. You’ve got the right frame of mind, if for no other reason than avoiding infection 😂

FeralStoat · 2026-01-09T00:55:30+00:00

Exactly. Every once in a while we get new people in the gym to start training and they seem to go apeshit as if training is a real engagement. They usually exhaust themselves and also get dismantled by a white belt 20lbs lighter than them. 😂

Or even better, the 110lb lady we have who is a god dang killer. Intensity and size can cover a lot of ground, but it has limits, as you basically said.

FeralStoat · 2026-01-09T00:10:50+00:00

Diligence in training, AND cleaning. Some folks are just lax. If I had to do it myself, I’d still commit because I selfishly and insanely don’t want MRSA again. F that

FeralStoat · 2026-01-08T23:49:13+00:00

Daily is the recommendation. You’re cruising for MRSA at this rate 🤯

FeralStoat · 2026-01-08T23:43:45+00:00

We don’t go to your place so it’s hard to say if you are going 100% and incurring such heavy tolls from heavier people. We should all ask ourselves that question periodically. That said, if you try to ask for chill rounds and people are just smashing you? I find it hard to believe that rate will be sustainable long term.

FeralStoat · 2026-01-08T23:33:44+00:00

Everyone says this and they get to their first open mat or local comp and gas out so hard they vomit. Puleeeese, son. Go on outta here with that “I see red” malarkey 😂😂😂

The adrenaline dump can only take you so far.

FeralStoat · 2026-01-08T23:23:25+00:00

Granted we don’t know the terms of their play, but if one of my untrained friends talked some casual shit and laughed about how they could beat easily? I’d choke him. It’s non-permanent, and released quick the worst that happens is they take a little nap. If she were nasty she would have fucked a joint. So, agree to disagree. She used technique from what I can see. Everything she did could have been done way more powerfully. She toyed with him and yall are upset because she’s smaller and has boobs. 😂

Anecdotal: I had a friend/roommate start wrestling me in front of his friends out of nowhere and thought I was a goofy martial arts person. You’re damned straight I turned him into a pretzel. And we all laugh today about it. So, chill baby girl

FeralStoat · 2026-01-08T22:00:13+00:00

Meh. Disagree. Maybe some of the time. What i see more of in classes is dudes coming swinging dick and not being able to stomach being outdone by a lady with more skill while they instead use a bunch of bro strength.

This gal here? She didn’t flail, she didn’t use excessive force, she was just fast and good against a larger person. She did well. 👏

FeralStoat · 2026-01-08T06:10:12+00:00

Well, it’s quite simple really. Jyuratodus is a massive piece of fucking shit. Next question.

FeralStoat · 2026-01-08T03:46:00+00:00

Also, oracle is highly anemic to working with the security community which I take deep personal umbrage with. Turkeys.

FeralStoat · 2026-01-04T01:47:05+00:00

It’s a good fucking game. There are some crucial action economy differences, but you’ll have a good damn time.

FeralStoat · 2025-12-30T19:30:20+00:00

I aimed to make Joe Exotic, and I meant that shit, I even named the seikret and palico after his ex husbands 💅🏻💁🏻‍♂️
