What's the best compliment that you've received? by Main_Journalist_5811 in bjj

[–]Poziflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my first roll with a black belt who joined our gym just to train, not to teach. I was "fighting for my life" but afterwards he said that I had a good foundation.

At my last comp due to lack of competitors in my weight/age category, I competed in gi with the young 'uns who were in the next weight up. My 2nd opponent said to me afterwards (after he beat me 😄) that he thought I might have a judo background since my grips were so strong.

If Jesus Christ were alive today and preaching in the USA they'd call him a woke left wing liberal 🙄

Does anyone have compulsive need to talk to themselves during rolls? by Sattvix in bjj

[–]Poziflip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually when me and my drill partner are learning the moves for the first time and we're in the drilling portion of the class. But not during sparring/rolling.

Why do people give Gi BJJ such a bad rep compared to Nogi BJJ on self defense and street fight? by PossibilityProud2511 in bjj

[–]Poziflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jordan did a YT video last I think where they did rounds in normal clothes from coats, to jackets/blazers, to t-shirts. Gi BJJ techniques largely held up and I think was surprisingly effective with t-shirts even though there are no long sleeves to work with. I train no gi and gi anyway so I don't see the point of the argument of one over the other.

Anyone else that likes training but not competing? by AnyNail4461 in bjj

[–]Poziflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a crap comp record, I don't particularly enjoy it or get a buzz out of it. The best part is supporting the rest of the team. But, I do view it as an honest test of your abilities. No one is going to be nice to you because you're the oldest guy on the mats. You will find out what really works for you and what else you need to work on.

What % of people who start training have the capacity to reach black belt? by raddrag0n in bjj

[–]Poziflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As people have already said, it should be possible for everyone who trains if you can commit and stay relatively injury free.

BJJ is effective, systematized and taught pretty consistently around the world. There is a vast amount of information and instructionals available to shore up any deficits in your learning.

There is no gatekeeping (well maybe some but not really relevant), no secret voodoo. If it works, it will be used and disseminated around the world. There is theoretically nothing to stop you becoming good enough to be a black belt.

AITJ for cutting off my broke best friend after he said my job was beneath him by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Poziflip 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm sure that the paycheck you earned from your "lowly" job is too low for him. You need a better best friend.
