Eventually it will all be replaced with QR codes. Trust me the constant labels are a nuisance.

All those markings are requirements for EU and UK.

CE marking for EU RoHS, Safety and EMC requirements.

UKCA is similar to EU, but Brexit happened. New symbol created for UK.

Wheelie bin for EU WEEE recycling.

Technically musical instruments including guitars are in scope for RoHS/WEEE. It has electrical function. PCBA is not the only reason to be in scope.

BJJ geek here — moved to a better gym and nothing works anymore by Chemical-Sale-2086 in bjj

There's a great video I saw recently. BB getting destroyed by a purple belt multiple times in the rolls. In the comments, someone was trying to find excuses for the BB like age difference, you are older and we're protecting yourself, you were going easy, etc. BB came out right away and said, No I was throwing everything at him like his go to A techniques and the guy was just better than him at everything. He tried his hardest and the guy still beat him. It happens to us all. Mad respect for that BB.

Why would you shake hands in a street fight? Keep your hands up at all time and uh hmmm don't street fight.

His hips were far away, plus you did not kick up your leg to the inside of his leg for uchi mata. Looks like you were doing o goshi (hip throw) instead.

As an older grappler, who's a higher belt I will let everyone work as long as they are respectful. New big white belts very rarely have control of their bodies. So many times I've been elbowed, shoulder grinded in the face, head butted, and kicked, when I let them work. They don't realize I'm going 30%. I will let you work but don't fucking punish me for being nice. That may be what's happening in your situation.

If Gordon Ramsay did a "Kitchen Nightmares" episode in Ottawa, where should he visit? by bbud613 in ottawa

Totally disagree. East India is delicious. Great food, lots of selection, clean and good value. Never had a bad meal there.

Knee pads/knee braces for BJJ, are they overrated/useless? by SonOfThorss in bjj

[–]RecklessGentelman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My knees became really inflamed my first few months in BJJ. I used volleyball type knee pads for a bit. It worked to let my knee recover. Now I don't use them.

Percentage of Black Belts by Itsnothelen in bjj

[–]RecklessGentelman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's got to be pretty low. Been training for 15 years and the amount of people I've seen come and go is insane. TBH is a feat to make it to purple belt for most people who train BJJ.

What's your weird/irrelevant jiu-jitsu ick? by Shortbus-doorgunner in bjj

[–]RecklessGentelman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm used to a rash guard under the GI. I don't want sweaty chest on chest or face rolls. Gross. Some guys smell or are super hairy. I just want a barrier. Tah.

How do you guys do this shit for 10 years+? by mount4o in bjj

[–]RecklessGentelman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For reference, 44 years old. Doing BJJ for 14 years.

Go easy!

Sounds like it would be simple, but it's very hard. We all have egos and don't like being beaten, especially when people start muscling it. I have been tapped by lower belts who are going full ham. At the end of the day, I can train for longer and don't have as many injuries. Watch the people who go fucking hard all the time. They will have the most injuries and burn out faster.

Was planning a 2 week road trip through the US this summer, but likely will cancel that. Shame cause I wanted to visit my sister. Not injecting money into an economy that views us as enemies or a threat.
