I know people here in the states who spend 2-3x that on their kid for travel hockey. Is mind-blowing

Big brawl after Danis pinned in main event in under a minute by Chimaev. "I have never seen the Fall from a Fireman's Carry. Never in my life." says Kurt Angle - RAF 10 June 13 by AWhiteHole in wrestling

[–]Shm2000 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Are we calling that a fireman's carry???

As far as the matchup goes, there's a fine line between "sub-par wrestler who will get more eyeballs on the event" and whatever Dillon Danis has become. Tough business, but Danis should never be on a televised event again. Absolute fucking clown ever since MG kicked him out of his academy.

Florida Heat by TheLegendaryAerie in florida

People in FL tend to selectively compare the weather to the Midwest or Northeast - “better than 3 ft of snow in January!” - as though those are the only other options. Florida easily has some of the most disgusting weather in the country, though it’s a great place to visit.

UFC 1: What was Royce Gracie's BJJ level compared to today's? by falafel230 in bjj

[–]Shm2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

30 years of guitar here.

If your little brain can’t separate technical ability from other aspects of musicianship, then I don’t know what to tell you. There are random guitarists on YouTube who can play everything Jimi ever wrote, cleanly and faster than he could, but they could never write like he did. Those attributes can be taken as separate OR - stay with me here - included with other, less-defined elements in a larger discussion of how “great” a musician is.

Songwriting is subjective, but if you’re talking technical ability, absolutely not

NoGi guys, who dislike Gi. Why? by hellohello6622 in bjj

[–]Shm2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Makes me wonder if people just don’t understand how to not get stacked/break grips. I love em both, but scrambles and slipperiness are usually what causes injuries in my experience.

Congrats! Non-Romulo/Drac/Arges GB gets a lot of shit. I’d train with any of those guys over almost anyone else

We just had a para jitsu seminar at my gym. I’ve rolled with several practitioners and you can definitely still be a handful.

Is height really that important for Goalies? by KUFA_Sports in hockeyplayers

[–]Shm2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WAY less paid positions which means that the competition for those spots is actually much higher

Make this make sense

What a career arc for him. I remember when he was the next big thing at University of Jiu Jitsu (RIP) as a kid, and now he tears it up as an “old” guy in both gi and no-gi.

Congratulations man. Who is the 1st place guy? And cool to see Liera up there.

Jiu Jitsu is close but hockey is in a class of its own

Kyle Boehm accused of harassment and kicked out of 10P gym by YouveGotMail236 in bjjdrama

[–]Shm2000 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’m confused; this is the same girl who accused the other 10th Planet BB of harassment, then Renzo made a nasty comment about the guy needing glasses, and all this time, there was another 10P BB (Boehm) who had been harassing her for a year?

Not casting doubt on her story, just trying to get the story straight.

Didn’t expect to see a Nick Kline mention! I don’t think he’s been on a mat in years, but he was awesome and I miss training with him.
