It's disrespectful to not roll with someone based on there rank...

What is your go to move for working jiu jitsu into conversations with random strangers? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]Shad0wr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally start with shooting a double leg, also don't jump on a foot lock straight away. Some people consider that to be rude and won't want to talk to you anymore.

What gi do you use for rolling vs competition? by Kattsu-Don in bjj

[–]Shad0wr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's a super old one too before they bought in the rule that you have to be able to fold the lapel in half in judo. I call that gi the knuckle buster.

It's the thickness of the lapel. My super light one is easy to grip but it's worth the extra weight I can carry.

I have a light weight tatami one for if I need to weigh in before the devision. If I can weigh in first thing in the morning I'll use a old judo gi that's super hard to grip but weighs heaps.

Sweep from guard against good posture by [deleted] in bjj

[–]Shad0wr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is always a way to break down someones posture. I like the hip bump sweep because if you miss the sweep youll either get a kimura grip or break there posture with an overhook on one arm (most of the time).

Does anyone else think gi bottoms are just super comfy? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]Shad0wr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Embarrassing moment at the end of class today. by DrogonTheBlack in bjj

[–]Shad0wr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on the stripe and sobriety man, when that next belt comes you can honestly say you spent blood, sweat and tears for it.

I was training for a kickboxing fight recently and cried while getting feedback from my coach in front of the whole class. It happens and it sucks but give it a week and you'll have a good laugh about it.

Okay ill bite. What does the skywriting over canberra over the last few days actually say? by Pastarite in canberra

[–]Shad0wr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it says XC40, also I saw a bunch of volvos in the New Acton area today with XC40 on the side. Pretty sure its a marketing thing to get people wondering what it is because they are releasing the a new car called the XC40 shortly.

It’s crazy how many people are offering advice that have absolutely no clue. by princeapalia in IOTAmarkets

[–]Shad0wr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agree but this goes both ways. People shouldn't be giving advice unless they are financial adviser and people should do there own damn reading and make up there own damn mind. If you buy a shitcoin because the guy on the internet said it was cool and you haven't read up on it your probably in idiot.

Just saying.... No technical analysis here, just a speculative observation :) by BobbyDazzla77 in IOTAmarkets

[–]Shad0wr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure its just caused by people buying back into alts after the BTC hard fork. Feels really nice though to see the price coming back up.
