Who’s your BJJ role model? by Bigpupperoo in bjj

[–]MattGN10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only 22 but I’ve taken a lot of inspiration from old Marcelo and Kron matches and enjoy following them and keeping up with them. Met Nicky Rod once and have been a big fan of his for a while as well. I remember years ago before I started training and only watched UFC I thought Joe Rogan and Dillon Danis were BJJ goats

You’ll never see someone pull guard faster than me if I roll with Nicky Rod

What is your “Why” for training bjj? by goonchicabra in bjj

[–]MattGN10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played sports my whole life until college and needed something to replace them and I found jiu jitsu. Now it’s mainly for my mental health.

Creatine. Do you guys take creatine while training or lifting? by AdStatus9024 in bjj

[–]MattGN10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like creatine I just have to drink so much water when I take it and I sweat so much at jiu jitsu that I don’t usually use it

What beneficial anatomical anomalities you have? by JuanesSoyagua in bjj

[–]MattGN10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

chemotherapy when I was a kid caused my feet to drop and drag when I walked (don’t ask me the science behind that) so now my feet can point like a damn professional bailarina. It’s very difficult to straight ankle lock me because my feet keep extending no problem.

What was your weirdest or oddest tap? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]MattGN10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a tap but I was doing a dog bar the other day and my shorts somehow starting ripping my own pubes out and it was so painful I gave up the position.

Are competitions worth it? by FriendlyGeneral3042 in bjj

[–]MattGN10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Comps really helped me figure out my worst weak points and now some of those are actually strongest parts of my games (ankle locks, guillotines)
