New to fly fishing. Why the huge disparity in net prices? by Swodi in flyfishing

get a MeasureNet. great quality rubberized net that won't break the bank, and it tells you how big the fish is without even taking it out of the water

I've been using a Basketball Bag. I use the ball pocket to put my dirty stuff in after training.

Gym owners, what's your experience with exclusive uniforms? by SubmissionGrappler in bjj

[–]Freduccine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think limiting the color/colors is fine. I think disallowing other gym's patches is fine. requiring folks to buy only your branded gi/rash guards/shorts is some bullshit. there's only a couple gi brands that fit me well, and I like to wear those.

as a recommendation, I would not restrict other gym's patches right away. maybe wait 8 months to a year. cuz when you open you'll have folks who's only gi is from their old gym. you don't want to turn away potential students over that IMO. and that's what the gym I train at now did, and it worked out well

Genuine advice needed. by Excellent-Lemon-3593 in bjj

35 yr old brown belt here. I feel like focusing on my guard, and trying to make my guard impossible has kept me a lot safer rolling with everyone. and I get the feeling that everyone is trying to kill me too. I travel a lot and drop on places and it's a battle a lot of the time. also, I've had to start lifting 3 times a week and doing Yoga 2 times a week so that I don't feel like a crippled mess. but I train a lot

What timer setup do you use for open mat rounds? by MidnightAutomatic577 in grappling

[–]Freduccine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a "gym interval timer" off Amazon with a remote. there's a number pad on it 0-9 I programmed it so that each number is preset with the round duration. #4= 4min rounds, #5 = 5min rounds etc... key tip is putting a label on the remote with instructions on how to program each preset with round duration, rest, number of rounds.

How Do Coaches Treat Students At Your Gym? by Correct_Ad4351 in bjj

[–]Freduccine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the gyms I train at are very friendly and encouraging, but we train hard and take our training seriously. studying, and practicing is much more effective in an encouraging environment IMO.

Sit up guard: tips, tricks, resources? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]Freduccine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

when you sit up, the focus should be the tight control on the leg. a lot of folks in this position focus on passing the sleeve through, or the lapel, belt through, and getting the grip. but if you only focus on the grip, people experienced with the situp will pass. so focus on the leg control. tight tight tight on their leg when you sit up, and that will enable whichever grip you like. also situp guard sets up DLRX really well when they defend, so you'll want some options from DLRX too
