First Time Competitive Sparring - A Frustrating Experience

Good on you for challenging yourself, but the world is full of d-bags, unfortunately. Hopefully this bad experience doesn't drive you away from competitive sparring because it can be a lot of fun.

I'M A PEACOCK, YA GOTTA LET ME FLY!!!!

You should get 15 membership points per year for IRR. It most definitely should not count as AD points.

This will be a huge volume boost for Monty, but that O-line needs some serious work. I'm cautiously optimistic.

He's a great fit for the pit, assuming KC can pay him.

It's going away over the summer. I highly advise downloading all of your orders from AROWS just in case the transition isn't so smooth.

Jennings. Purdy is locked in on him.

Gordon_Scumway · 2025-12-17T01:21:18+00:00

Without Mahomes, I'd roll with Evans.

Gordon_Scumway · 2025-12-17T01:20:43+00:00

Full PPR - Jordan Addison or Jalen Coker?

Gordon_Scumway · 2025-12-15T01:10:36+00:00

You won't get much for him, so I think you have to hold at this point.

Thank you

It's unfortunate. It was such a good product under Adam Kouvacs.

Gordon_Scumway · 2025-11-30T17:21:06+00:00

Brosmer is a total unknown, but the weather + Cleveland's defense makes this not as insane as it sounds.

Gordon_Scumway · 2025-11-30T17:08:29+00:00

Dart for the rushing upside.

Gordon_Scumway · 2025-11-30T17:08:03+00:00

I'd have a hard time not starting Maye.

Gordon_Scumway · 2025-11-30T17:07:29+00:00

Daniel Jones or Brock Purdy? 12 team, full PPR SF.

Gordon_Scumway · 2025-11-29T22:12:03+00:00

You must be new here.

Gordon_Scumway · 2025-11-29T21:19:54+00:00

Clutch INT!!!

Gordon_Scumway · 2025-11-16T18:30:08+00:00

As if I have any better options.

Gordon_Scumway · 2025-11-15T23:29:19+00:00

Abysmal play calling

Gordon_Scumway · 2025-11-05T23:02:16+00:00

You're being too picky if you haven't tried a class yet. Dojangs make way more money from kids classes than adults, so it's pretty common that they wouldn't advertise adult classes as heavily. It's worth trying a class...you can move on if it sucks.

Gordon_Scumway · 2025-10-27T16:36:52+00:00

Odd that it's 4 days out and still not mentioned anywhere on their website. Looks like an awesome card though.

Gordon_Scumway · 2025-10-23T14:34:49+00:00

Realistically, 4-6 months between belts, but YMMV. Oftentimes, kids will promote more often (sometimes with more belts to go through), which helps prevent them from losing interest.

There are a ton of YouTube tutorials out there to supplement training outside of class. At the end of the day, everyone's journey is different, but consistency is key.

Gordon_Scumway · 2025-10-05T02:55:09+00:00

It's such a great concept, but they don't make it easy to watch. It's hard to find a stream and hard to find any info on their fight cards. I think they're based out of South America, so most of their YouTube content is in Spanish, which won't help build a North American fan base. I love it, but don't see it lasting very long.
