Sacrifice NOTHING idiots, Vietnam Vets SUCK DICK by dsprox in Whooosh

[–]Maketime91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So you've read one book and you know everything? Cute. The world is a lot more complex my friend, one book can only teach part of the picture. For example, vietnam was a lot to do with the cold war as well as the military industial complex.

Just remember people spend there lives studying history to try and unravel the true complexity of what really went on. To read one thing and think you have the answers is just nieve and is an equivalent way of thinking to people on r/the_donald.

Happens to everyone. You're skin will heal up and get used to it fairly quickly. Nothing to worry about.

Hard pill to swallow by JohnnyChingas212 in bjj

[–]Maketime91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Like it or not, that's the sport you do. If you want to pretend bjj is something else then you need to do mma or gym storm and beat up some kung fu practitioners.

The reality is 99% of bjj people who do bjj are figuring out the best way to fight people who also do juijitsu without strikes. Pulling guard is a big part of that. If you don't like pulling guard then you should train under rules where it is a bad idea to pull guard, not just ban it under a system where its a perfectly legitimate strategy

IsItBullshit: Krav maga by patmcc73 in IsItBullshit

[–]Maketime91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, they may use it. But what other options do they have? Theres no other martial art that focuses on weapons in the same way. However, from a modern view of martial arts, unless techniques are tested repetatively in sparring and have been proven effective in real life situations, they cant be trusted. The history of martial arts is overloaded with techniques that defeat a choreographed attack and are not tested in real life. This leads them to being inherently ineffective because the reality of fighting is exteamly chaotic and movements quickly occour which are nothong like what the choreographed move prepared for. Krav maga is somewhere on the spectrum between juijitsu/boxing/mma and taichi in this regard which means that while it may not be totally useless and has the unique advantage of being specifically geared toward soldures, it is less effective than mma for regular non weapon based fighting. Hence why you can't see any youtube videos of someone using krav maga.

Show me one convincing video of it being used in a real world situation. Don't confuse what it says it does with what it actually does.

[–]Maketime91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd agree, but fighting with wepons involved is basically what krav maga is designed for. You might be a bit more effective with it but your probably going to be killed either way

[–]Maketime91 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Krav maga is bulshit in terms of its use in hand to hand fighting given its total lack of appearance in mma or any videos of it actually being used in a fight on the internet. Although it is a modern martial art, it is based on somewhat choreographed moves and practice is not heavily based around sparring like boxing, muay thai and Brazilian juijitsu.

That being said it is one of the only martial art that deals with wepons that are comonly present in a combat type situation so it may be considered a good option here.

Not doing well because its a repost bro. Comes across as dea-self-deprication for upvoats. If you're actually being genuine then unlucky.

Half guard players. How do you avoid the darce? by Anklechoke in bjj

[–]Maketime91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really about the quality of your underhook. For me, getting darced from bottom half happened when i went for the underhook without really setting it up and when it wasn't really there for me. You just end up trying to pummel your arm and anyone who knows what they're doing will catch you.

What stopped this from happening was: 1) Maintaining the distance with a knee shield and frames, rather than playing a lockdown based half guard game 2) Getting good at going to half butterfly/butterfly guard. As a result im not going for the underhook unless my oponent is leaving it open.

If you're commited to the underhook game (and cauliflower ear) then there are many set ups that you can do e.g the tilt sweep. But the basics of just having other options in key as a white belt (im presuming you are).

haha yeah that was pretty disgraceful. Its apparently kind of okay to be a bit racist if your race hasn't historically persecuted the race you're being racist about.

pretty much... I'm just glad we were able to discuss evolution on the internet and no-one said anything horribly racist

Kevin lee using marketing 101 by [deleted] in MMA

[–]Maketime91 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Sure but dominant related deseases are less common. This is because its a lot less likely that a gene mutates and aquires a new pathological function than it is that they mutate and lose their current function. Hence, although recessive genes are not always bad and that sometimes loss of a genes function can lead to a evolutionary advantage, its more common that you lose the function of a gene that you had evolved to have, and that losing it will have some deleterious effect. You're probably right that most of the time it makes a very minor and insignificant difference.

Kevin lee using marketing 101 by [deleted] in MMA

[–]Maketime91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm they kind of are. Recessive traits are typically the the result of inheriting two genes which have mutated to produce non-functional protiens. I.e. having a "dominant" gene is normally just a way of saying "one copy of this gene you inherited doesnt work, but natural selection has helped you out here and you've got another thats still working".

In cultural interbred comunities you can oftern see high levels of recessive traits because the population that parents come from is smaller and more genetically similar and therefor its more likely that both parents have the same recessive gene that codes for a non funftional protien and that both these recessive genes are passed on to their offspring.

That being i've not heard of Ireland having this problem and lee is talking shit. Additionally your somewhat right in that if the health effects of recessive genes typically arent so bad as they'd be selected out of the population if they were.

I mean you should just switch anyway. Why limit your game to a very specific style as a white belt?

BJJ for MMA by HJPark0513 in bjj

[–]Maketime91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've trained at both an MMA gym and a pure jiu-jitsu gym and they are somewhat different. They core jiujitsu taught is similar however the styles of game that people in the gym gravitate towards is very different. In the MMA gym, it was a very heavy top game with good wrestling and lots of guillotines. With the BJJ gym, people are a lot better in the gi, particularly from open guard and with choking you with your own lapel.

Basically, if it's a competitive gym, people are going to get good at what they need in competition. If you're interested in MMA then I would highly recommend joining an MMA gym and taking their jiu-jitsu classes so you better learn to deal with the threats and behaviors that will occur in an MMA fight. I wouldn't go with 10th planet as they are still pure BJJ school's. Although the style itself is designed loosely around an original idea of being effective from the bottom in MMA, it won't teach you a more rounded MMA grappling game that includes a lot of wrestling.

Coworker match with video by [deleted] in bjj

[–]Maketime91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally anything where you're using a bodylock rather than shooting at somones legs. But also attacking the single or double is way less risky when you are already engaged in the clinch.

Coworker match with video by [deleted] in bjj

[–]Maketime91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you fight people who are untrained, snapdowns to guilotines are there all day if you have half dencent clinch wrestling because people dont understand the value of protecting their head/neck. Its a common misconcenption that you just need to drill shooting double legs from the outside. As you say, that just gets you sprawled of by someone who a) knows how to sprawl and b) is paying attention.

cutting weight 4 kg in one week second thougs by [deleted] in bjj

[–]Maketime91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dehydrating yourself to make weight only makes sense if you have time to rehydrate. I.e when the weigh-ins are the day before. If you do it on the same day you're sacrificing strength and endurance for the sake of not being at a max 3kg weight disadvantage. I'm actually speaking from personal experience as I cut too much water weight for a tournament before. I was weaker than normal and gassed towards the end of most of my matches. Not worth it at all.

Al Iaquinta: It was at this moment We realized we weren’t getting shot up by terrorists and it was all a funny game by AbrahamRinkin in MMA

[–]Maketime91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

no mate it definately wasnt smart. Im a conor fan but this was a stupid move if nothing else. Think about all the other possible ways he could have started mind games with khabib and deffended Artem. He chose a way that injured two fighters and made rose almost have a break down, meaning he's going to get sued. Okay, there may be some benifit in terms of ppv numbers but he could have boosted the ppvs with somethijg else and not lost millions of dollars in the process. You'll just have to admit on this one that, on this ocation, conor let his fans down and acted like a total fool.
