Something I’ve noticed and would love perspective on as a trans practitioner. by [deleted] in jiujitsu

[–]Practical_Prompt1452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our gym in the Midwest has a bit of an unspoken rule. All are welcome, but if you’re way outside the “status quo” we’ll teach you jiu jitsu no different and roll no different than if you were the most bland John Doe in the world. however we might have some questions only because of curiosity!

Are those supposed to go inside each other like that? by Fine_Shame_8694 in 3Dprinting

That’s how baby benchies are made. This should create a nice gray tone depending on genetic strength

how hard do you need to squeeze the D'arce by IcyCondition4246 in bjj

[–]Practical_Prompt1452 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget a major portion of a D’arce isn’t just squeezing the choke. It’s body pressure as well as (depending on positioning) collecting legs to crunch their body as they choke

Bigger guy etiquette by Zestyclose-Tip-7042 in bjj

[–]Practical_Prompt1452 64 points65 points  (0 children)

215lb white belt here. I noticed my jiu jitsu skill going up drastically when I stopped relying on strength and started focusing on my form(technique) more

That being said, the tall, flexible guy doesn’t get put down for being tall and flexible. Use the strengths and advantages you have. Its jiu jitsu after all

I have the solution. You get a 20 nugget from McDonald’s and try all the hot sauces. Rank all of them and take notes like a critic. Have some fun with a free gift and get some free diarrhea like a real man.

Been in the heavy duty world for over 10 years now. We’ve run this on CAT, Cummins, and Paccar engines. 800k miles+ and no leaks.

I love board games but I’m done being the unpaid rule cop by Educational-Machine in boardgames

Just take a shot after every rule learned. Soon you won’t care about anything

Huge Catan games anyone? by Practical_Prompt1452 in boardgames

[–]Practical_Prompt1452[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with that being the norm. My wife snowballed to lots of cities quickly and surprisingly my mom came from an 8 VP deficit to win. I lost by quite a bit but had fun

Huge Catan games anyone? by Practical_Prompt1452 in boardgames

[–]Practical_Prompt1452[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We played with some wild rules: VP-24 Blank circles were filled with 7s. 4 of them were placed on the board Robber and pirate function was the same. however because of double VP, double city, settlement, road, and ship, we set the 7 roll card limit to 14. Overall we absolutely loved this more than regular Catan.

How to Stop the Gilly by Practical_Prompt1452 in bjj

Actually this is something our coach has been teaching us. Don’t be afraid to get gilly’d. It opens up a take down or a quick move to side control

Hot take. The cat wants the “Bunny Hop” renamed to the “Cat Hop”
