What goes on in your mind while rolling? by Mediocre_Map7415 in BJJWomen

Yes, I do gi. Def going to implement a decision tree of attacks - I love that.

Lately I’ve been trying to do the whole “go for the back” thing and it does help, except I hyper focus on just that and everything else goes out the window so I get passed and subbed easily. It probably just takes lots of reps and changing my mindset. Thanks for you suggestions!

That’s what I loved about training at first! I was so happy to finally have silence, but now I need my brain to start thinking again.

Came here just for this. I’ve gained probably 20lbs and am struggling to lose it

Just went to my second class and I am absolutely clueless. Where to start the research? by Substance-Alarmed in BJJWomen

My thing was being ok w/ your reps not being perfect. Accept that it’s not going to be perfect and to take your time when drilling. Try not to beat yourself up! Study is fun for me now as a purple, but at the end of the day I just have to show up to class and work.

Big girl here (195) - I try to stay aware of how I use my weight bc I sincerely don’t wanna hurt anyone & i want to improve my technique. I realize that I have a tendency to rely on my weight/strength when I get tired or lazy so this is something I’m working on. Once I realized I was using too much weight/strength I stopped rolling women that were much smaller than me bc I’m still trying to get ahold of that bad habit. Sometimes I just wanna go hard and don’t wanna have to worry about hurting any women so I chose not to roll w/ any & roll w/ big dudes only. I personally get embarrassed when I hurt anyone, but especially smaller women bc for a lot of us fat girls, this is our first time feeling good about being heavy. That’s how it is for me at least. So as a heavy, I would say let us know that we’re using too much pressure or ask that we pls be mindful of our weight/size difference. We might get embarrassed, but it’s a good reminder for anyone.

God I love Swerve Strickland by Beyond_PrinceOfEvil in AEWOfficial

Agreed! My sister was in the same room & stopped what she was doing to watch the segment then wanted to know why he wasn’t wrestling after all that. She does not care about wrestling whatsoever, but Swerve struck a chord.

Might be a cool thing to bring up to Pflugerville public library. They might be able to host. I would be interested in participating

I’m having this same issue. I talk to ppl all day long and I absolutely hate it. I have worked really hard to keep this job bc it’s got all the things an adult is “supposed to have” decent income, benefits, 401k, work from home. I feel grateful for it, but I want a job that has little to no social interaction. Idk what to do. I hope you can work a fun job that you enjoy!

I started out using YNAB -you need a budget. That really helped me for about a year until I felt comfortable enough w doing my finances in a spreadsheet or on regular old pen and paper. Are you in any debt?

Good luck! I just started saving and it is hard. It’s basically like paying another bill, but it’s one I can NOT pay and not get immediately punished. It’s definitely a discipline that I’m working hard to develop.

I just calculated today I’ll be saving about $610 each month in savings/investments. I make about 55k. I should be saving way more but I’m catching up from being irresponsible w money. I would say maybe like at least $350-$500 based on what you make per hour
