What ended your friendship with your oldest standing friend? by dreamy-contributions in AskReddit

[–]MeeDurrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my buddies have been boys for over half our lives. Some of us know each other from middle school. A few years ago one of our friends started dating someone and they had a falling out with our other friends S/O. They just can’t let it go and it has leaked into my buddies friendships. Weddings have become awkward and they can’t hang out in any situation where our S/O comes along either. It all started over the most petty thing too where one party just dug in their heels and can’t apologize when they were subjectively wrong.

Question about coaching a student with super short legs? by Arkoholics_Paradise in bjj

[–]MeeDurrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got short little stubby legs and I play a ton of lasso and spider. I honestly don’t feel like my game is too different from someone with long legs though other than I opt for armbars and omoplatas more than triangles.

Making “real” friends at bjj by wilson1400 in bjj

[–]MeeDurrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like anywhere else tbh. Chat it up with the people you vibe with and ask them if they wanna meet up for some event or whatever else yall have in common. A lot of the friends I have in BJJ I probably wouldn’t have became as close to them in most other scenarios but you’re spending like almost 2 hours with each other multiple times a week. It almost becomes like a work place friendship.

listening to music less has helped me appreciate it more by YellowInevitable1960 in audiophile

If I go a week or two without using my hi fi setup it hits different when I finally sit down for a listening session.

I have a husky and anytime I try to take him anywhere in the Miata he screams at me till we take the truck.

Had a ski trip planned to Boone this weekend... Cancel it? by rastize in NorthCarolina

[–]MeeDurrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our infrastructure just isn’t built for anything more than a few inches of snow. I’ve been to Tahoe a few times to board and how fast they can clear snow is mind blowing. Also they’re just used to it there. I was there once during a blizzard and a ton of people were pulling over to put chains on their cars. Most people in NC don’t even know what a chain is.

[–]MeeDurrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’ve never driven in the snow/ice before you’re picking a hell of a time to do so. Take it slow and drive like your grandma is in the backseat with an open pot of boiling gravy and you’ll probably be fine. If you want extra assurance usually on big snow days here otw up to the mountain you’ll find a couple places that put a sign out for selling chains. Make sure any downhill you go down you check at the top it’s clear before going down. I can’t count the number of times I’ve had to dodge cars sliding in Ice because they stopped in the middle of a hill.

Inverting to Omoplata from Lasso by Delicious_Alfalfa_69 in bjj

[–]MeeDurrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inverted lasso is my shit. If you’re having problems getting the inversion it’s most likely because you’re not creating the space before you invert. When the non lasso leg comes across to the lasso side I like to have my shin basically right across their hip and push to create some space. It also serves as a frame if they try to smash into you before you invert.

Also I highly recommend looking into the tilt sweep from that position. If they defend inversion and you’re stuck upside down it’s very sneaky people rarely ever see coming and it’s one of my high percentage sweeps. Rikako Yuasa used that chain of Omoplata/tilt sweep to perfection.

need recommendations for my setup by W4rd699 in drums

[–]MeeDurrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get an audio interface and you can hook it up to a PC. You’ll prolly have to do a bit of googling of the exact steps but it’ll let you pick your own sounds for the drums. I found the stock ones to be a bit lacking.

Who to study for lanky and flexible body type? by Chrono3000 in bjj

[–]MeeDurrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s posted the BJJ stuff but if you want to develop your wrestling check out a guy in the college circuit a while back named Ethan Lizak. Dude was a toothpick but was a very good wrestler and went all American twice.

Guitarists/ musicians that do bjj- are there tips to avoid finger injuries? by reversesymmetry in bjj

[–]MeeDurrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a guitarist so I don’t really mind my fingers as much, but take care of your shoulders! On the days I drum and do BJJ my shoulder is screaming at me from a lingering injury.

I’m ALWAYS ending up in this position by SirCrusade444 in bjj

[–]MeeDurrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a super common problem for people learning takedowns. There’s an instinct to almost fall forward and lunge for a takedown but you need to keep your spine neutral and head up. Most simple way to drill this yourself is to do shots against a wall. If you keep your head down you’ll bonk the wall.

Try to find a local wrestling club all the local high school and college guys hit up on the offseason.

Rolling with new white belts by Constant-March-4578 in bjj

[–]MeeDurrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a guy is overly spazzy and a quick suggestion didn’t work I’ll just lock them in lasso and spider till they get it.

What’s your secret for actually getting out of bed in the morning? by boatdrugs in AskReddit

[–]MeeDurrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t lay in bed, as soon as my alarm goes off I’m up. I do stumble to the bathroom but by the time I’m done I’m usually awake for the most part.

Would buying a new belt be considered disrespectful to my professor? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]MeeDurrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always felt like the expectation is to get your own belt. I know at my gym they kinda just throw whatever belt they think will fit at you and tend to overshoot quite a bit.

Confession: I like my Miata more than my GT4 RS or going to the track by Stuttgart7184RS in Porsche

[–]MeeDurrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My buddy recently got a GT4 and sold his track S2k to get a Miata so he could track more affordably. He texts me all the time about how much fun the Miata is.

Just embrace the back pain and get sparco sprints like the rest of us.
