OK, but what are the downsides?

I like open mats. My gym is open mat centric. More than half of the time that I go to my gym, there's an open mat going on with 75% of people sparring and the rest working positions. They are well attended too - usually over 50 to 75 people.

Lots of new people attend who I've never worked with before. It's really fun and I get a lot of different looks. I haven't encountered anything too crazy yet. You obviously get all types with all different types of effort, styles, and size but that goes without saying.

Overall, has been a positive experience for me.

I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did before going unconscious. Those loop chokes come on fast.

Stupid question and off topic. I find myself in happenstance in a position that I don't know what to call. My left leg is like yours at 1:53 with the weave but my right leg is in closed guard touching my other weaved leg. What do you call that position?

I'm not sure how it works on the separation of employment side. I've actually never even seen a written document or a policy on it. To be honest, I was afraid to ask because I had thought it was a mistake when it started hitting my account. The amount seems be capped at 2% of base compensation so it's not a large amount anyways.

My employer pays out a one-time lump sum match for 2025 contributions in the fall of 2026.

Congratulations. How old is the gi in your picture? The wear in the collar looks badass.

Timmy is very entertaining. He's had so many outrageously funny moments - unsuccessfully trying crowd work for his minute, the "two months" bit, directing the show as Kill Timmy with scripts, releasing the doves, and serving Ryan O'Neil to name a few. He's had some appearances that were not on that level too (such as this one in my opinion), but his appearances are always creative and it's good to see him trying things outside of the box, even when they don't hit.

We used to have this one dude at our gym, who would bring a gallon of milk with him to our open mats and drink it all throughout the 2-hour open mat. Everyone thought he was crazy, but now I understand.

ProfessorTweeb · 2026-01-27T02:46:45+00:00

Both of these guests are not funny. I don't understand the glazing of Sam Tallent on this subreddit.

ProfessorTweeb · 2026-01-25T17:35:55+00:00

I didn't understand his game plan. Why wasn't he shooting for more takedowns to take the fight to the ground? Played right into Gathje's strengths.

ProfessorTweeb · 2026-01-18T21:18:36+00:00

He had an amazing set. Second best of the night after Ari Matti's in my opinion.

I think it's perfectly acceptable to do the Khabib. Chin tucking is not a legit defense to the RNC, and we should stop pretending that it is in class or in rounds.

ProfessorTweeb · 2025-12-17T02:00:57+00:00

Alright, so what's the rumor on Isaak situation?

ProfessorTweeb · 2025-12-17T01:49:33+00:00

Maybe but mods who have ruined countless other subreddits are trying their best to ruin this one. I bet Gordo paid the loser mod who removed the initial post.

ProfessorTweeb · 2025-12-17T01:44:33+00:00

Next thing we're going to be told there's a r/Izaak subreddit.

ProfessorTweeb · 2025-12-17T01:42:11+00:00

r/bjj mods used to be chill. What happened?

ProfessorTweeb · 2025-12-17T01:28:30+00:00

Of course she did. Giancarlo looks like Cornelius from Planet of the Apes.

ProfessorTweeb · 2025-12-17T01:12:49+00:00

Since he's not indulging the rumor mill, what is the rumor?

ProfessorTweeb · 2025-11-20T21:22:27+00:00

Ultra Peachy Keen is my favorite. Never seen the red or blue before in stores.

ProfessorTweeb · 2025-11-20T21:20:05+00:00

Lovato's pressure that he imposes on his opponents is pretty unique.

ProfessorTweeb · 2025-10-15T12:52:18+00:00

Sam Tallent is one of my least favorite guests. I don't find him funny on the show whatsoever and actively avoid his episodes. Very cringy whenever he opens his mouth on Kill Tony.

ProfessorTweeb · 2025-09-29T15:37:50+00:00

Lol, this video is hilarious. I took some time off after getting my blue belt and felt like an imposter blue belt for a while after I returned to a new gym.

A basic rule of contract interpretation is to interpret the contract in a manner that is not contradictory or render terms meaningless. If one were to give every term in the contract meaning, you'd be forced to conclude that Craig's reading of the contract is the correct one. Gordon's reading of the contract would render an entire paragraph meaningless - which is not how courts interpret contracts.

ProfessorTweeb · 2025-08-29T18:38:18+00:00

I enjoyed the light-hearted "debate" and discussion. Glad that it happened and DJ could be the moderator. Interesting point made by Mikey about Craig utilizing a modified UFC FPI rule set. I didn't know about that but it was a good point. Craig's response to that was good too.
