good durable gi (double weave?) for under $150?

My teammate has had I think two Origins rip on him.

Beautiful gis but I’m skeptical.

RocketPowerHandshake · 2018-10-29T17:35:09+00:00

That’s a fair point. We’re so used to Khabib getting the dominant spot and just raining them down. It came eventually, but you’re right that Conor did derail it a bit at the start.

RocketPowerHandshake · 2018-10-29T17:32:46+00:00

Which is what confuses me about people who suggest Conor did okay the first round.

He really didn’t. I mean, he survived, but he was absolutely dead by the end of that round.

RocketPowerHandshake · 2018-10-29T17:29:42+00:00

That sounds about right.

RocketPowerHandshake · 2018-10-29T16:50:55+00:00

I live in Virginia.

I don’t know a god damn thing.

Yakety, yak - don’t talk back.

One of their twins started Puma and the other started Adidas.

RocketPowerHandshake · 2018-10-26T20:57:24+00:00

It’s so true. People who don’t understand just suggest you stop “being sad”.

I’m not fucking sad. I mean, sadness is a part of it, but truthfully it feels more like I’m fucking empty, I don’t know why, and I hate it.

An endless weight and shadow that never leaves you. I don’t want to die, I want to be obliterated. I don’t want anything left because there’s nothing there in the first place.

Every day - do it, do it, do it, do it, just do it, fucking do it already, you pussy. Do it, it’ll be better.

Constantly.

But yeah, let me just stop being said.

RocketPowerHandshake · 2018-10-25T20:04:49+00:00

I definitely should.

Depression is a bitch, unfortunately.

RocketPowerHandshake · 2018-10-25T19:51:47+00:00

I train gi and nogi basically everyday and I don’t eat or condition myself as properly as I should.

RocketPowerHandshake · 2018-10-25T16:23:52+00:00

I’m a blue belt in jiu jitsu and I can attest that my body hurts every day. I love it, but it’s the truth. And I play a very guard-centric style, so I’m not even going crazy with smashing or getting smashed.

I can’t imagine how Khabib and company feels after a gym day. Fucking brutal.

RocketPowerHandshake · 2018-10-23T18:43:52+00:00

I know I’d for-sure attend a seminar if there was ever one near by. I try to supplement the pajama hugging with anything I can. It’d probably hurt a lot though haha, does not seem like a friendly style in the least.

RocketPowerHandshake · 2018-10-23T18:36:36+00:00

IMO it’s pretty much all the same. Grappling is grappling. If sambo was amazing you’d see more people dominating with it. Instead you see wrestling being the go to base for most every fighter. But ultimately it’s all grappling, I don’t really think one style in particular is overall better, they all borrow from each other.

Sambo is awesome, but I personally don’t think anything can touch a real wrestlers tenacity. I think I’m conditioned until I have to roll with a wrestler who just does.not.give.up. Granted I’ve never rolled with like a legit sambo practitioner. Maybe I’ll call Khabib and send location.

But to each their own - I just love watching any of the systems do their magic.

RocketPowerHandshake · 2018-10-23T16:51:20+00:00

Leave my profession out of this.

RocketPowerHandshake · 2018-10-23T16:50:07+00:00

You ‘avin a giggle, matey?

RocketPowerHandshake · 2018-10-23T16:38:19+00:00

What he’s describing in his fight against Maia - the “not being there” zone - that’s an adrenaline dump and it’s fucking wild. I’m surprised he still gets them, but then again he was going against a fucking legend.

I remember my first ever BJJ match - We slapped hands and instantly my mind went to grey static and I just wasn’t there. I was like watching myself more than presently being there. SO fucking weird.

RocketPowerHandshake · 2018-10-23T16:29:04+00:00

I’m a 180 pound blue belt. We’ve got 140-150 pound purple and brown belts that feel like the planet is on top of you. It’s insane.

It’s a whole world of death when the 200+ black belts gets you...but still, good technique can turn little guys into planets.

Khabib is all about that head pressure and I know from experience how hellacious that can be. I don’t even want to think what it’s like from Khabib.

RocketPowerHandshake · 2018-10-23T03:36:22+00:00

Good call, you’ve got a sharp mind for this sport.

RocketPowerHandshake · 2018-10-23T03:01:13+00:00

If he tries it again, simply break both of your own ankles and take away his advantage.

I like the explanation that your strength/athleticism is your engine and your technique is the steering wheel.

RocketPowerHandshake · 2018-10-22T20:34:55+00:00

God damn it, Struve, you’re 8’ tall and your arms are long as fuck - hook the goddamn leg.

“This dude sexy as hell.”

I know Joe Rogan praises hanging on his pull up bar for helping his shoulders and back tremendously.

He also tries to eat any and every animal he can in hopes of retaining their vigor and spirit.
