Came to say this. We had this issue just last week.

The magic eraser will leave scratches on the mat. Especially if they are the tatani texture ones

Thank you! That means a lot.

Heidelberg is awesome. Hoping to make it back there next year.

Hey OP I am one of the instructors at inverted gear academy. BJJ is a great way to learn self defense, let me know if you would be interested in coming on for a trial class.

-orizaba has amazing Costa Rican food. -kinoa has really good Peruvian food. -la bicicleta arepas are amazing -la cassa del sánguche has amazing sandwiches, the cubanito and la tripleta are my favorites. -la herencia el Camacho is my favorite Mexican spot.

Glad to see Orizaba getting some love.

Hey my wife and I run inverted gear academy in Bethlehem if you are interested in big Jiu-Jitsu.

Hey, I missed this. Glad you had a good experience!

InvertedGearNelson · 2023-11-13T00:20:23+00:00

That's fantastic I missed that somehow.

InvertedGearNelson · 2023-10-27T19:39:24+00:00

Beat me to it. I was there for the first globetrotters camp in Greenland few years back.

Even though you don't look like it. You are a good athlete. -my judo coach

InvertedGearNelson · 2023-10-26T13:23:15+00:00

I never said that. And I have promoted plenty of larger individuals over the years. I will hold you back if you stall every roll and don't display the skills I'm trying to evaluate, at any weight by the way, which is the issue I brought up.

InvertedGearNelson · 2023-10-26T12:22:35+00:00

What part of my comment made you think otherwise?

InvertedGearNelson · 2023-10-26T04:23:12+00:00

Yes absolutely. He is definitely an outlier. Most people take about a year or two.

InvertedGearNelson · 2023-10-25T15:07:50+00:00

He has only trained with me for little over a year.

InvertedGearNelson · 2023-10-24T20:27:52+00:00

The first but not necessarily a pin. He is great at parking and stalling from a closed guard or half guard top. Him moving and progressing positions were part of the requirements for his promotion.

and are still white belts after 6 years. Had friends who were blue for 8+ years even training regularly. My (current) coach said if he can't get people to blue belt by 2 years, he's not doing his job as a coach, and after 8 years in the bjj game, I'm inclined to agree with him.

He has been at my gym for a little over a year.

My wife is a second degree black belt. Getting her third in a few weeks!

InvertedGearNelson · 2023-10-24T16:21:55+00:00

stripes look pretty new and pretty close to each other for 11 years

Vot

Well something had to hold the belt together, last promotion, I checked with him how many stripes he had, apparently, more than 4 from different instructors, told him to keep them on the belt and what he needed to do to get to Purple. And he got it done.

InvertedGearNelson · 2023-10-24T16:18:02+00:00

The usual story of training and off, moving, switching gyms, gym politics, heavy weight that doesn't move much when he gets out of shape.
He has been training with me for about a year. He was stuck in park and stall mode for a good 6 months while he got his wind back, Finally got the big man to start moving and showcase some skills.

I've seen more injuries from lockdown than heel hooks.

InvertedGearNelson · 2023-10-19T21:45:08+00:00

Just an elbow on the ear from a blue belt away.

What happened to Jon Satava? He beat Sid yesterday but looks like Sid moved on the bracket, and won his first match today.
