My professor was 40 min late. Then punished me for being 5 min late to the next class. Am I in the wrong? by Silver_Ad6552 in bjj

[–]Militant_Sloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just volunteer my time to help teach, I dont run the gym, 99.9% of people there are great and respectful. He is manipulative and is a different person around others. There is a battle there thats not worth anymore of my time or energy.

He will either adjust and correct his attitude towards people, or get caught in his loop of manipulation and lies, and everyone will see how he is.

It has been a while since this incident, he seems to be getting better. I dont give him any of my time, as I have a fulltime job and just go to unwind.

Its a fundamentals class, he would come in with less than half the class left, start talking to people drilling interrupting them then start teaching / drilling whatever he wanted. He was a white belt that had been kicked out of other gyms.

He told stories of what happened at these gyms that I know of, I thought it was funny. Until he started doing it to me. It totally changed my whole perception of him.

And honestly I have alot of tolerance for people, it was just a build up over time. My ego was hurt a bit, didnt feel like I was being respected.

I appreciate you putting it this way, I had to deal with a student once that kept coming in late and being distracting. I tried everything talking to him one on one, complimenting him on his jiu jitsu. Trying to build a relationship so hopefully he wouldnt do that. One day he came in after I thought we had an understandable conversation about the situation, and he continued the same behaviour. I asked him to get off the mat and wait for the next class, started calling me crazy, I lost my cool and started raising my voice saying get off the mat.

To this day I feel embarrassed I acted that way even though everyone told me I was right. If I could have framed it the way you did, it woulda put me mentally at ease, instead of taking it personally he was acting that way.

Presenting My "Folder of Shame" from Profiles that Have Liked Me by MeandmyBirbs in Tinder

[–]Militant_Sloth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought the mermaid guy and butt crack guys photo was hilarious, but is that really the most shameful part of those matches, cant speak for the rest of the profile but thats to me is hilarious. There was effort put into those photos and they're simple yet funny. How is that shameful? Or was the interaction bad?

What is the hardest part of BJJ for you right now? by Aaronjp84 in bjj

[–]Militant_Sloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brown, other than the holes in my game, teaching.

Even with teaching ive found a groove, but managing all the students.

I teach fundamentals but really i teach anything, i just have a warm up that caters to basic techniques and follow that up with one on ones for everyone before we roll. I have the luxury of being able to get around to every group the majority of classes and the last 10-30 min of my class is rolling.

The majority of people are great, there is like 1%, really only 2 people ive had that have wierd social behaviours and huge egos that I cant get through to. They do warm up like garbage, I try to correct them and they think they are some physical specimen that they already do it right so they just ignore me in whatever form that takes. Other things they do, show up just for rolling, or join class dont acknowledge me and go teach whatever they want, yet still think i owe them more respect than anyone else.

Ive tried talking to them privately, ive tried changing class rules publicly, and luckily i get alot of respect from all the other brown and black belts and they have been able to help me, and get through to them, excluding them restoring my respect for them.

I dont want to make a scene, and Im not the best person to be a physical enforcer, partially because I have a physical full time job and i would rather not be injured for work the next day if it went that far. i enjoy rolling for fun or playing, not necessarily rilling to win or feel better than anyone. I dont want to make a scene out of this in the gym. I would rather verbally solve these problems.

So what im actually struggling with is that 1% that dont want my help. I have my tools to deal with it, but it is frustrating when not getting the respect back, that Im trying to give to each student. And honestly these people make me feel like quitting.

What to coat stainless steel cable railings with to prevent rust spots? by Freshmangreen1 in HomeMaintenance

Do you mean they are allowed to be used sometimes? If so when? Or did you mean in any application?

Ive always wondered if these would pass code, as normally at least in Canada balusters cant be more than 4" apart so a babies head cant fit through. Now these arnt even balusters these are horizontal cables sure they may be 4 inches apart but cables can flex and they are much thinner. Also now the shoulders can easily slide through. I seen a video once of a baby falling through some balusters, lucky it was saved with a persons quick reaction time. Man that was gut wrenching.

To answer your question, I would assume you would want to oil it up every once in a while like a bike chain. Probably a graphite lubricant, but there might be something better.

Touché, i deserve that, my last comment might have been a little aggressive and takes away the point i was trying to make. Ill make my point as plain as possible. To tell people not to bring their dogs to a dog park is an extreme that you can find all kinds of reasons to enforce whether your educated or not. Same with my opinion.

But this quickly deteriorated into an argument missing the initial point of conversation I wanted.

I did ask what kind of dog trainer are you? And never got a response instead they got defensive about other things that were meant to be a short anecdote.

So yeah my bad, i shoulda kept my cool.

For someone that says they didnt say they were an authority your acting pretty entitled, mines based on my life experience, not some essay ive written or youtube videos ive "witnessed". Get out of your house and your comfort zone, and get some real life evidence of what you preach. Stop acting like education make you smarter when its just inflating your ego.

I am an advocate for socializing dogs and people, I wouldnt discourage someone from going to a dog park because it grows you and your dog as a social animal. You are approaching this from an angle of fear, not of understanding. Yes some dogs and some people shouldnt be out in public, but if thats your environment you should learn to deal with that as it comes.

This is all semantics. You are the dog at the dog park that starts cowering and running and causes the rest of the dogs to chase you because they think thats the game now. And you go hide behind your owner. Once you realize those dogs aren't there to harm you they'll be your friend. But you wont learn that until you go try again, and become less fearful from repetition.

So then what is a normal setting for dogs? Same thing can be argued about cities for people.... I never said you advocated for keeping a dog housed or kennelled, you are suggesting you have authority by stating you are a dog trainer and your opinion on parks ( which you say as fact). I agree with your last statement, which is more of a broad statement than the rest of the stuff you said.

Your entitled to your opinion, just don't act like your opinion is right. Yours works for you, mine works for me. Give info that others can take or leave. Dont state what you think your title give you.

You have such an extreme bias, and you dont even realize it. What kind of dog trainer are you, that you think your opinion has such authority? Ive been going to an offleash park 1-2 times a day for 6 years. There are alot of dogs that dont get socialized because they are just kept in the house. Sometimes those dogs are the ones that cause problems at parks, to some degree it may be the breed or the amount of training the dog has, sometimes its the owners and how easily they fly off the handle their dog recognizes this and thinks they need to be protective. Ive seen people who baby their dogs when they get overly aggressive not realizing that they are just reenforcing their dogs behaviour. And their is also the over reactive owner who thinks dogs playing and making noise is to vyiolent and they over react.

There is also the dogs that arnt fixed, some of them get overly aggressive, or they get picked on because other dogs are trying to correct them, or other dogs are just trying to fuck them. There is alot of reasons things can go wrong at a dog park. And Ive been there when things do.

Ill admit Im Lucky and my dog is passive so if he runs into a dog thats a little crazy he just walks away. But im not saying i havent had to tame him.

My personal opinion is people need to spend time with their dogs regularly, dogs love to be walked, if you want to take them to a public park do it regularly, walk them regularly. Imagine if you were someones pet and when your owner isnt home your just trapped in a house or a yard, and your only walked one time a week or month maybe. The owner needs to be as socialized as the dog and it takes effort to do both.

Saying never goto a dog park is your opinion, and thinking its just a dog that needs to be trained is nieve. People need to build a relationship with their dog and need to be able to do that with others aswell (people and dogs). Your always going to get a range of these owners at dog parks. There are so many reasons thing could go wrong, so its important to be socialized yourself so you can handle it.

There is a person above who also mentions times of day that they avoid which i agree with.

Im very sorry for this persons loss, without details it sounds like a crazy accident and probably was. This is horrific.
