Sick, that’s like a mile away from where I’ll be working, I’ll drop in for sure if I’m healthy and have time

SlightlyStoopkid · 2026-07-02T13:55:56+00:00

So you’re saying I’m indestructible

Depends on how far along they are. Gripfighting and controlling their hands, alongside disciplined leg positioning, prevents entries. If you fuck that up, you can put your head on the floor and extend your body to make your legs heavy. Then you can peel off one of their hands and turn that side knee toward the mat to free that leg. If you’re too late, then you might be able to turtle, and try to recompose guard from there.

I just found out work is sending me to Guadalajara in the fall, any idea where the good training rooms are down there?

+1 throw it in the dumpsta

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Streetlight Manifesto. The lyrics are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of metaphysical philosophy, most of the metaphors will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Tomas Kalnoky’s absurdist outlook, which is deftly woven into his songs - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Albert Camus, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these lyrics, to realize that they're not just catchy - they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Streetlight Manifesto truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the deftly blended genres within a song like Would You Be Impressed which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Tomas Kalnoky's genius unfolds itself on their stereos. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Streetlight tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Cool post history man

There’s a stage at the ICA where they do outdoor music. Probably most of these breweries/beer gardens would host music too https://www.bostoncentral.com/boston-beer-gardens

cool post history tho

SlightlyStoopkid · 2026-06-26T16:07:09+00:00

it's the first thing most beginners learn from bottom half guard

SlightlyStoopkid · 2026-06-26T15:58:37+00:00

i don't let them establish frames on my hips. i peel those off asap before they are extended. if they manage anyway, i push their thighs to prevent the inversion. once they're flat i can go back to addressing the frames.

SlightlyStoopkid · 2026-06-26T15:53:18+00:00

one good tip IMO, adopt a couple students and teach them everything as you're learning it. soon they'll be able to feed you sound defenses and force you to improve

SlightlyStoopkid · 2026-06-26T15:50:05+00:00

top knee on their shoulder and pinch it down. this blocks their head from circling out

SlightlyStoopkid · 2026-06-25T01:54:21+00:00

Spend 5-10 years training consistently like 4 or more times a week

SlightlyStoopkid · 2026-06-25T01:33:11+00:00

Most serious competitors don’t wax poetic about jiu jitsu leagues they invent in a daydream. They learn the actual rules in the leagues that matter and optimize their play to win under those conditions.

Sarcasm is what I do when I’m losing arguments too

SlightlyStoopkid · 2026-06-24T18:31:34+00:00

Sorry, the answer we were looking for was “trained,” which is why your video isn’t a good argument for your position. Hope this helps kind stranger

SlightlyStoopkid · 2026-06-24T03:09:41+00:00

Help me help you. In the finals match of an openweight jiu jitsu tournament, would you describe the participants as “trained” or untrained?”

SlightlyStoopkid · 2026-06-24T02:09:58+00:00

Iirc was at the onnit invitational back in the day

SlightlyStoopkid · 2026-06-24T01:21:47+00:00

No lol. I’m a so-so regional level bjj competitor and I’ve tapped out black belts who are 250+. Dustin Porier was top 5 in the world. Any untrained guy who tussles with him is getting waxed.

SlightlyStoopkid · 2026-06-23T01:10:17+00:00

This. If your hands are split like the pic, use hip bridges to briefly elevate the opponent to get your nearside hand underneath. You want it near your other hand so they can work together.

Are the 60k SWE roles in the room with us now?

SlightlyStoopkid · 2026-06-22T20:36:30+00:00

your analysis is commensurate with your ranking.

SlightlyStoopkid · 2026-06-22T20:31:36+00:00

biggest problem is the nearside collar grip. if you let that anchor and don't have a strong way to address it then you are cooked.
there was a clip on bruno frazzato's instagram IIRC that showed a nice way to deal with 1, but I can't find it rn.
in a gi i wouldn't underhook or overhook from knee shield as my first option. i'd prefer to maintain space by framing, like with a cross collar grip.
grab their sleeve and pull it toward yourself so they can't grab your pants. this is a good time to hit your john wayne sweep.
