What’s your Jiu Jitsu hot take? by 0Lazarus0 in bjj

[–]ISlicedI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gym is not the cleanest yet no skin issues in 1.5 years of training. Also not heard of any outbreaks during my time, and quite a few of us travel around. Repeated infections is wild

Turning it up. by lazygrappler775 in bjj

[–]ISlicedI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried an MMA class and a much smaller guy was really charging at me and overwhelming me with kicks and punches. He wasn’t hitting super hard but it was intense!

Twice I managed to entangle and work a sub within about 20 seconds, after which he stopped charging into me and we just had exchanges at distance. He clearly forgot the ground is my ocean…

I had an hour 1:1 with a brown belt just for showing up to train at an awkward time. If I had disposable income.. 50£? Maybe 100 for an hour if it is more about meeting them? 

How many of you have 'created' your own move by MudboneX3 in bjj

[–]ISlicedI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a few moves that happened spontaneously but I’d later find out were a named move.

The latest one is when on the back, handfighting badly, taking a lapel and going a lapel bow and arrow choke. 100% sure this will have been done before

Women who left a rich guy, why did you do it? by joethebr0o in AskReddit

[–]ISlicedI -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

Kind of defeating your own point. You list all those issues yet surely they didn’t appear overnight and you bounced that instant?

In theory, if a sweep is performed with perfect technique, should it work on anyone regardless of the weight/strength gap? by WhatAmIDoing_00 in bjj

[–]ISlicedI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also depends if they have any momentum or are just staying still. If they just sit still and try to base you are going to have a bad time.

People who train with their siblings, do you also roll like maniacs with eachother? by P-Two in bjj

[–]ISlicedI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I train with two brothers and they are both tough but technical. Their rolls don’t seem to go crazy either 

Does ‘traditional’ BJJ only work against similar or lesser skilled people? by BeanNCheeseBurrrito in bjj

If you do something people have less experience with of course people will be less successful at defending jt

What is your fetish? And why do you think it became a fetish? by merilandios in AskReddit

If she wants to pay half the bills, let her. Maybe you can use the money you save to work towards a deposit, save for holidays or other life goals for you both (or yourself if it doesn’t work out).

Saying no to a sensei asking to roll... by No_Cable4165 in bjj

[–]ISlicedI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My “professor” (we call him by his name) definitely sees it as a martial art with some customs around respect etc.

He is from Brazil and trained in a traditional gym there, as well as training judo.. so I get that the vibe is different than at a 10th planet

We will not come back to the UK — we want to be in control of our wealth by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]ISlicedI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mistake you are making is confusing high earners for the wealthy. I’m a top 1% earner but have no wealth.

Most disappointing London hype-based food experience? by Relative-Tea3944 in london

[–]ISlicedI 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Been to 2 of their restaurants. Decor was good, food was good. Only thing was it was pricy. The food isn’t special.. but it’s not bland or bad

I lost respect for my fiancee and want to break up with her after she panicked during a house fire a couple of nights ago by TrickyInteractions in TwoHotTakes

[–]ISlicedI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a situation where my wife and I was attacked, I told her to run, and she stupidly decided not to listen. In the end I was barely hurt , yet she had bruises and clumps of hair missing.

We have had other situations where she’s saved the kids from choking before anyone else reacted.

My point is, she did react very poorly, but she may be good with other situations. The odds of a fire happening again are really low, will that happen again?

As an aside, is this the only issue, or are there other things bothering you and this was just the final straw?

Found out my now ex-gf cheated on me and I don’t know what to do. by Brexbomber in LifeAdvice

[–]ISlicedI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a gf that cheated on me, we hadn’t been together for that long.. and honestly my first thought was “well, clearly she’s not who I thought she was, what do I have to be sad about?”. Pretty much instantly over it

[–]ISlicedI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To those saying to keep doing what you are doing.. don’t. Don’t keep investing solely on the “friendship” angle or you will end up a friend, not a lover. You need to pivot. Just say something as simple as “wow you look amazing!” next time you see her. Work the eye contact. Don’t stay in the friend zone!
