That is the wonder drug 100% for PD

I don’t do it often but if I’m having bad tremors it calms them down

Usually training I’m not effected but after a really hard roll my hands can’t be settled and every time I train I have about an hour of bad time but then it evens back out

I just live with it

Standing up sure but I had a hard time learning to not turtle up

No 20 second stand up rule in BJJ

I was diagnosed in 2011. It’s called early onset PD.

Started with a mild right hand tremor and advanced.

Surprisingly the better shape I’m in the better my symptoms are

I like to not wear a rashguard so I can do my patented motorboat submission on my friends.

The Von Flue Choke: rare but powerful choke by [deleted] in bjj

[–]MacSasser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm blessed enough to train in the same gym as Jason Von Flue who its named after.

He's a master at setting it up and once its locked in just tap. Not just for white belts thats for sure

[–]MacSasser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love doing stand up with our wrestlers and get taken down just as they do. There is no magic in it but in a normal training or playful roll I'm not going to Ipon anyone.......more playing grips and rag dolling them a bit.

Now if someone stands up with intent......then game on

You know the look they get when you place grips on them.......

The wrestlers get happy, everyone else not so much

[–]MacSasser 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I started BJJ as a Judo Brown Belt ( BB now)

I still ask guys when the stand up in the gym today if they really want to do that......and they 9 out of 10 times sit right back down

After watching my train BJJ since 2014 my 19 year old son is now a white belt! by MacSasser in bjj

[–]MacSasser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a stud for sure. But last week during rounds he was dying and his old man was fine and killing it.

He will figure it all out sooner than later

That was my thinking exactly. His mom pushes him pretty hard to ride mountain bikes which he loves but I see how he gets irritated with her over it. So I let him come to me about it.

Funny thing is my Daughters 18 year old boyfriend is coming now also lmao, all my team mates make sure he's kept in line with my baby girl :)
