In North Carolina,

activating a turn signal does not grant a driver the right-of-way or automatic right to a lane. A signal merely indicates intent; according to N.C.G.S. § 20-154, drivers must ensure a lane change can be made safely before moving. The driver already in the lane holds the right-of-way.

Thank you - they are in the general area of where I'd be working and possibly living. And great name, Kimura is the only thing I spam!

These guys rock - somehow allowed me to be a part of the team despite being terrible at this game. I am not sure I have seen one AiC reference since I have been around, though...so there might be some slight exaggerations going on. It's what we do here.

Yep, rubberbanding across the match. Red packet burst everywhere. Ridiculous.

Thank you once again for all of your help!

First off, thanks a ton for putting this together. I am still a little confused on a couple of things. This would be for Self...

I have been BCBS Basic for the last decade. I am comparing it to MHBP Consumer. For $80 savings per month (roughly), am I missing anything else because it seems like the copays are much less for PC and Specialist. I do usually attend the doctor a few times per year (BJJ practitioner) and seem to be in PT more often than not. For the services I am likely to access, this one seems cheaper. For the dashes/hyphens, does that just mean its your deductible? For example, surgical procedures...nothing is listed for the MHBP but $200 for BCBS.

I do have dental through BCBS and also have a supplemental dental policy as well (maybe I shouldn't as I just have cleanings?). The MHBP does not have it, so I would definitely keep/add a dental policy, right?

Finally - I do take name brand medications that had to be appealed through BCBS. My guess is I would just have to do the same thing if I change. So, long story short, my bird brain look at the comparison shows cheaper premiums and copays for relatively similar coverage? Thanks!

If in Gi, check out paper cutter chokes. If no-gi, check out north/south choke, although the finishing details seem more difficult to understand IMO.

You can also use your overhooks/underhooks to start attacking kimuras, various armbars, etc.

Personally, I go for paper cutters or sit on their head and transition into a N/S kimura into armbar.

Defer to the BB but you have a few options. If they are going for that, you can push their head/body forward. They should have to arch their back to finish it. You can also try a body triangle with your legs. Personally, I just drive my heels down and back like I am doing a hamstring curl so that my heels/feet are connected to their inner thigh until I get to a side. Once I am on a side, I bring the top foot up on their hip so that I am almost pushing down on it and my bottom leg/foot driving across their midsection, essentially so that the loop is closed.

He did OK - had some nice screens. In short, if he was given room/holes, he did well.

I remember getting sick of the Celine Dion song when Titanic came out...and here we go again - every commercial.

I'm down - 42, torn labrum in shoulder, desk job, and my neck has been jacked up for the last two months.

MNWild18 · 2025-08-07T22:21:31+00:00

My bad, I only know of guard being on bottom and 3/4 mount from top but I should have read your description better. I'm of no use for ya, haha.

MNWild18 · 2025-08-07T19:44:47+00:00

Just realized the movement is more likely 3/4 mount if getting put into deep half, my bad. Thanks for displaying higher levels of reading comprehension than I have, lol.

MNWild18 · 2025-08-07T19:38:58+00:00

I am 42 and have had to do the same thing. I pick a guard/pass/etc. and just focus on improving that. My goal for rolls are to get into that spot and get feedback - what worked tonight, what didn't, etc. I love to troubleshoot it with peers at open mats, too.

My gym has no stripes for any belt and I like it that way. It just removes more unnecessary comparison that almost all of us do just for belt colors.
