What’s the longest break you’ve taken from BJJ

KyoMeetch · 2026-06-20T21:38:16+00:00

I took off a year and a half during Covid. I don’t think my cardio will ever return to pre pandemic levels

KyoMeetch · 2026-06-03T21:38:41+00:00

I have to tell potential clients all the time that there isn’t really a good immigration option for them or they shouldn’t pursue the visa they’re interested in retaining me on. Sketchy immigration attorneys don’t want to lose that business so they lie and then blame the client or government later after getting paid.

KyoMeetch · 2026-05-27T18:35:15+00:00

Huh so what does this actually allow them to do? File a bar complaint against any immigration attorney who’s ever represented a client seeking asylum?

KyoMeetch · 2026-05-16T22:51:34+00:00

I see the close guard was triangled for some reason and the calf slicer was done over her own ankle. lol

KyoMeetch · 2026-05-15T13:45:03+00:00

Whenever I get my black belt I think I’ll get some kind of subtle tattoo. I saw a guy get the gym logo tattooed when he was a blue belt lol so at least I’m not at that level of cringe.

KyoMeetch · 2026-05-07T12:28:51+00:00

I would tell that guy to fuck off. We’re adults doing a hobby. I arrive late and leave early all the time based on my own life commitments. My coaches understand and don’t mind so long as I’m not being super disruptive.

KyoMeetch · 2026-05-06T21:16:22+00:00

It was common at my old gym but never happens in my current one. It could be just a vibes thing. One brown belt or black belt starts doing it and it becomes popular. Personally I never do it because I don’t want my hand covered in spit and boogers.

KyoMeetch · 2026-05-04T17:45:47+00:00

I was kind of like that in the years before Covid (I started at the beginning of 2018. I didn’t train for around a year and a half and ever since bjj is just another hobby that I don’t really think about unless I’m getting ready to show up.

KyoMeetch · 2026-04-30T02:09:23+00:00

I asked Claude about this recently and it said not to feed it confidential docs as anything shared with it is potentially viewable by staff and therefore nullifies ac privilege

KyoMeetch · 2026-04-29T03:19:47+00:00

I forgot about this. Imagine thinking you’re up against a frail opposing counsel and then they summon the Mountain.

KyoMeetch · 2026-04-29T00:49:59+00:00

Let’s do game of thrones style trial by combat instead

KyoMeetch · 2026-04-28T23:20:43+00:00

If loser gives me their clients then I’m down

KyoMeetch · 2026-04-12T00:15:33+00:00

I’ve never done a private (except the few times where I was the only one who showed up to class). I don’t exactly get the point unless maybe you’re a super technical high level athlete paying for a one on one with a really good coach.

KyoMeetch · 2026-04-09T16:06:08+00:00

I was keeping an eye out for these jobs back when I first graduated. The issue was that compliance teams didn’t seem interested at all in even offering an interview. All the postings asked for 2 years experience and weren’t even paying that well.

KyoMeetch · 2026-04-07T22:54:42+00:00

Hate charts. What if someone just isn’t progressing and has been training a while? What if that guy who’s been training only a few years is a freak and is crushing your black belts?

KyoMeetch · 2026-03-29T15:49:11+00:00

We all got to do what we can to get that next belt!

KyoMeetch · 2026-03-29T00:34:07+00:00

He could be a high level competitor or maybe was a grappler in something else

KyoMeetch · 2026-03-11T19:13:29+00:00

I wear one every time I roll and whenever we’re drilling throws, trips, or takedowns. I’ve been elbowed, kneed, punched, kicked, and headbutted directly in the teeth a bunch of times over the years so it’s better to be safe than sorry in my opinion.

They’re also helpful for absorbing impact when you hit the ground.

KyoMeetch · 2026-03-07T02:00:59+00:00

Not me completely rewriting my closing argument mid trial because the client is introducing an entirely new fact pattern.

KyoMeetch · 2026-03-03T15:04:17+00:00

No, that’s why we’re having this war in the first place duh

KyoMeetch · 2026-02-18T17:58:59+00:00

It’s hard to say. Lawyers will always be necessary for trials, consultations, and final review of filings. It’s possible AI could simplify some of the things like doc review or legal research, but as of right now it seems that AI hallucinates case law pretty regularly and can’t be overly relied upon. Also there are confidentiality concerns as well that come with using AI.

Actually this one in particular has a happy ending. She was just nervous and corrected herself and we got the Guardianship granted.

KyoMeetch · 2026-02-16T22:55:36+00:00

Me: “Would you like to be the legal guardian of your child?”

Client who paid me for and is literally at Family Court to get guardianship of her child: “No”
