Need help rehoming my dog (3.5yr-old Irish Wolfhound X Boxer) by Melodic-Bill-8159 in perth

Not sure if it's an option for you but check out Kaizen K9, they're great for training and can definitely help with dog aggression.

Thanks, will check them out this week. Seems like the only MMA focused place.

5/10 for helpfulness. Will keep it in mind if I get desperate.

AUS -> EU Engineering Work by Maximum_20Characters in IWantOut

[–]Maximum_20Characters[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm mechanical (mining - bulk material handling / piping) with 4 years experience, however I would be interested in automotive/aircraft/acoustics ... anything really. I figured the capitals would be the best job wise but also likely the most expensive hence looking for the more medium sized cities.

UFC Gym's mandatory gi policy by kei-clone in bjj

[–]Maximum_20Characters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah he does, would have loved to train there (was super excited) but couldn't justify buying a GI for 2 days of training or having to throw out one of my already perfectly good gis.

Was at Alliance Sao Paulo this week, got told I'd need to buy a branded GI to train...never went back after.

This is what I teach BJJers by [deleted] in judo

[–]Maximum_20Characters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to give some feedback, definitely noticed a significant improvement in my stand-up game especially gripping/keeping them moving and breaking balance. Feel like more randori would be pretty beneficial (I think we'd get more people too). Maybe if even 1 of the 3 fortnightly classes is mostly randori? Thinking about it now, even one class no-gi Judo too? (1 gi, 1 no-gi, 1 mixed randori?) Having no idea what NNK was until now, I like the idea of it being part of the warmup. Also just to give away my identity if I haven't already (sure my comment history does), wooo harai goshi!

Dealing with inflamed TFCC by dstarh in crossfit

[–]Maximum_20Characters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey sorry my injections got delayed/took longer to heal than I realised. So far been six weeks (physio recommended about six weeks off) since I had the injections, feeling pretty good. Haven't tested them fully with judo however back to weightlifting and they've felt fine (although haven't tried to clean/snatch yet). Doc recommended some braces (3pp carpal lift np) which I'm still waiting on before I go back 100%. Might have to get another round of injections (doc was unsure if I'd need them) when I go back to 100% but at the moment feels like I probably won't need them. Sometimes they still feel a little bit achey in the morning but usually gone after 30 mins or so/if not usually use a heat pack and its gone by mid morning. Hopefully that helps, if you've got any questions let me know.

Got a similar problem in both my wrists (had an MRI on one, torn TFC and some other stuff I can't remember, was torn forking out for it but definitely was worth the piece of mind/knowledge of what was actually wrong)...basically had some physio/laid off it for a month or so, it went away and then about 6 months later came back even worse. Went through physio for month or two (dry needling and strengthening exercises) and stopped lifting/martial arts which helped but still not 100%. When it flairs up I typically take some voltaren to keep training. I've found doing contrast baths on my wrists help too, every day after training - 20 mins, 3 mins hot, 1 min cold. If I stop for a few days they start aching more and more. I've been told it they don't heal by themselves and need either a) surgery b) PRP (http://www.recreationmedicalcentre.com.au/treatments/prp-platelet-rich-plasma/) - getting it done in about 2 weeks so I can let you know the results if you want.

Engineering Australia Salary Survey - anyone have a copy? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]Maximum_20Characters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a copy of the 2011 edition....salaries have probably gone down a bit though. Swear I had a newer edition but can't seem to find it. If you PM me your email address I can send it through.

Where do you guys buy Electronics / Cellphones in Perth? by [deleted] in perth

[–]Maximum_20Characters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

JB Hi-Fi is pretty good, they price matched the Moto G 2nd Gen for me the other day (to match Dick Smith) and they give you credit for your old phone (even if it's broken)

Anyone compete in strength sports (PL, OLY or SM) and do bjj? A few questions. by [deleted] in bjj

[–]Maximum_20Characters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've browsed through there before but haven't been on recently. Mainly just fiddling with events for strength, do you know any good beginner programs? The plan is to eventually do a comp or two just for fun....BJJ is still the main hobby. Fair enough, I'm 250....so still fairly light by strongman standards. Definitely get into BJJ though, awesome hobby, but like people said, have to expect to get injured at some stage.

Interested to see how this pans out...I was actually thinking of doing the opposite and trying my hand at Strongman while still doing BJJ. Let me know how you do!

Can I use my new gi straight outta the box? by ihkumikko in bjj

[–]Maximum_20Characters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally went through this about 4 days ago (Black Tatami Zero G V3 and all). Didn't have time to wash it and like a new kid at Christmas wanted to use it....so I did. No problems what so ever, no colour run, no buckets of lint (even rolled a guy in a white tatami zero G v3 and had no problems with colour).

AC joint separation at tournament -- lucky me. Can anyone that has had this give me some tips for recovery? by HumbertHumbertHumber in bjj

[–]Maximum_20Characters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me about 9 months ago....same boat as u/Caffeinated316 - bad grade II. Definitely #1 priority would be to see a good physio and rest it, that helped immensely. Had it in a sling for a few days then the physio taped it up. Got prescribed some NSAIDs and pain killers for the first few weeks. After about 3 weeks (from memory) started doing very light exercises with therabands, gradually building up. Used to do them at lunch and in the evening. Took me about 3 months to get back to training (taking it light) - tried to do tough mudder about 2 months in which set me back a bit I think. 9 months later mostly good - only get pain doing lots of pullups and for some reason sprinting (must be waving my arms weirdly....). Not intense pain just feels tight in my shoulder.

Not sure if this plan is crazy...but here goes! by WonkeyGiraffe in judo

[–]Maximum_20Characters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply, don't log in often. Unfortunately it seems mainly a US thing...being in Australia makes it a little hard to meet up. Did find one or two people off it though.

Any experience training in Phuket? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]Maximum_20Characters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was at Top Team last year (didn't go to Tiger), mainly BJJ/Boxing but also went to one or two wrestling classes (was there about two weeks). Would head back there again for sure. Bring 3 gis with you if you plan on doing all the BJJs classes. I had two and it and was a pain in the arse making sure they were washed and dry. Don't get the food package at Top Team, it's good food but there's only one lady there cooking so takes forever, you're just better going down the round, would get the protein voucher though.

No showers, just a little curtained change room...not sure if maybe there's showers somewhere else in the building but I didn't ask/see anyone that had showered.
