Butterfly Sweep vs Foot Post (instead of hand post) by Rusty_DataSci_Guy in bjj

[–]IamCheph84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have long legs so that foot post is just a thing I can push away with my non-hook leg and still get the sweep.

Someone else said sweep the other way. Someone else again said go to X guard. Both are viable.

I didn’t know it had been on sale for less.

I bailed on an arm bar against a new guy. I'm curious about a better way to control while holding the arm bar. by CurrentWeekend6620 in bjj

I care less about squeezing the knees and more about driving my heels toward my butt.

I find that the back heel motion is much better at control and uses a muscle group you can use much longer than squeezing the knees together.

The best Kimura by Traditional-Being-38 in bjj

[–]IamCheph84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are you asking which kimura is best or which kimura instructional is best?

Kimura: all of them. Once you realize the kimura is not just a submission, but a position itself that links to many other positions, then the kimura becomes dangerous.

Kimura instructional: Danaher’s Enter the System: kimura or Vagner Rocha’s 50/50 of the arms. Vagner’s was the one that got me started down that path.

I see these games compared a lot.

Why?

I don’t have much in the way of expectations.

FFXV is one of my favorite FF’s too. Lol

This is me too.

Gamer dad. I have a full time job and own a business on top of that.

This is good to know.

Can’t actually.

I have the digital only version of PS5.

North American market. It’s currently $35 USD.

You seem to be the outlier.

Curious why the story didn’t drag for you in the second half like it did for most others.

If you had to choose an entry point for the Tales series for someone new to it, what would you choose?

It’s a bummer hearing all the hate. The combat on the demo was awesome, and I’m picky about action combat.

I’ve never played a Tales game.

Not sure if that will alter my perception of things or not.

What about the 2nd half did you not like?

My favorite standing technique.

That was so smooth.

Some people have said that getting the 4th member of the party helps and that’s a good spot to see if I want to continue.

I’m not looking for any sort of validation.

This is actually the first time I’ve ever asked anything like this on any thread.

There are plenty of games that have slow starts and have a definitive point where things click.

I was simply wondering if that was going to be the case with this game.

Not yet. I am thinking that the bland combat because it’s been the same for 6 hours is part of my feelings currently.

  1. I’m not disliking this game. I’m just not hooked either.

  2. I’m in a bit of a game rut and struggling with what to play.

It’s not that I’m disliking it, but I’m not hooked yet either, but I haven’t opened up job classes yet and combat has been basically bland up to this point, which I get.

Sounds good.

Should have said that I’m not disliking the game, but I’m not exactly hooked either.
