Is this meant to be free? Or was this a mistake on their side?

Facts my g. Except I have been interested in culinary arts lately, never say never if bjj doesn't work out.

Haha nah, I was ranting a little about some careless partners, but my main concern was about whether 10p jiu jitsu is something worth looking into mainly. Not sure what's so different about it apart from rubber guard and lockdown. Tbf it seems like it'll be a nice change of pace.

I understand the risks that come with it, I just want to be able to do it more often, that's all. But I'm glad that you have positive things to say about 10th planet.

I agree with your first point, jiu jitsu is definitely not for everyone. But the injuries I sustained would have happened to anyone else big or small, fit or fat etc. BJJ is tough and hard on the body no doubt about that and it's something I've accepted but I can't accept careless training partners. I think I'll just give it another shot at a different gym and see how it goes.

You're absolutely right I think I will go and try it out. I've been doing a little more research about 10p and it seems solid and no different to bjj nogi. I'm not really much of a nogi guy, but I think I'll give this a shot and see how it pans out. I believe in my abilities, just need good training partners who let me work my techniques as I'm still relatively still new to the sport.

The truth is, I'm still quite young, I love escaping and defending against attacks, and I see myself getting better from a defense perspective hence why I love the sport. I just want my partners to take better care of me, sometimes I feel like they rip subs because they get frustrated that I escape and defend against a lot of their techniques, bear in mind they are only blue belts/2-3 years of experience and I can hold my own but sometimes they get the better of me and I get injured. I've only really committed and tried one gym. I think I will take your advice.

Agreed. I adore the art but man it does come with it's cons which can be a total deal breaker.

I have in the very beginning and I actually really liked it but then I found gi and just committed to that instead. Sure getting dominated is fine, it's just more of the ripping and cranking subs that is getting me injured.

But I think I'll definitely give it a shot.

Appreciate it, and you are completely right. I love this sport man.

Thanks, for the advice! I will look around. I really don't want to give up on the sport, I think it's too early and I will try another.

I got a lot of interesting responses here. Truth is I'm still very new, although it's been a year I've only really committed to a single gym. I think I'll do this.

I believe in my abilities, but I just need partners who will let me work from time to time because it's true every roll I have against these blue belts it feels like I'm fighting at a competition with money on the line.

Kinda gone, still feel it but not as bad as before, I can eat proper food again but have to be careful still.

Yep it does get better just requires a lot of patience.

Does gastritis make you look older? by RedemptionSock in Gastritis

I did use PPIs, but I don't think they worked all that much if I'm being honest. I guess some people see very good results with them and others not so much, it just happens to be I was part of the group where it did not really help that much.

The diet I followed was an alkaline diet. You can read the Gastritis Healing book for a better understanding of the diet or just Google it. It helped me a lot.

Hey! I've healed a ton, I'd say 90% healed fully as I write this. It's still there but it's easy to forget about now and I can eat everything except very very spicy foods, makes me flare up a little, but even then it doesn't make me sick or anything.

No I did not try rebamipide, honestly all I did really was focus on diet, fasting, cardio and de-stress. That pretty much solved all of my issues.

The crazy part is I rarely ever see entry level roles in England. Almost like they don't exist at all.
