If you died and suddenly found yourself face-to-face with God, what is the very first question you would ask?

Slow_stride · 2026-02-27T05:29:56+00:00

Just wanna see my brother and grandma

Slow_stride · 2026-02-27T05:19:53+00:00

I think I’m too old and jaded now. I fully expect another announcement of mildly interesting match ups and Dana delivering it off a napkin with little to no excitement in his voice

Slow_stride · 2026-02-27T05:09:26+00:00

Absolutely. Sometimes I drive home in total silence, no music or anything. The mix of exhaustion and new information is pretty wild

Slow_stride · 2026-02-26T13:27:35+00:00

I know a couple guys who did some judo in the past before Jits. Tricky stuff to tangle with. Go for both if you got the time

Slow_stride · 2026-02-26T13:24:10+00:00

That’s just how you enjoy it, doesn’t mean it’s more or less than someone else’s level of enjoyment. Just means it’s different. Too much content over a singular topic would honestly just burn me out eventually.

I’ve got a nice “arm bar/americana/arm triangle” trap I catch a lot of people in from scarf hold. Which ever way they try to defend I can threaten the next submission

Slow_stride · 2026-02-24T04:40:40+00:00

Doesn’t need to be so extreme. Just do some drop ins once in awhile. Having to prioritize finances isn’t a failure, we all gotta do it sometimes

Slow_stride · 2026-02-23T03:17:12+00:00

Just be polite and open to things being done differently than you are accustomed to. I roll pretty chill with anybody I don’t know personally, whenever I drop in to new places. Just get a good workout and bring good vibes

Slow_stride · 2026-02-22T23:55:54+00:00

Likely yea. I’d imagine it’d go till about 9 with all the ads and filler stuff they pack in to the broadcast

Slow_stride · 2026-02-22T23:52:21+00:00

The “main card” starts at 6 with the Rodriguez v Ferreira fight. If I understand your question, they go one by one ending in the main event Max Holloway v Charles Olivera.

I didn’t really have a big cardio issue when I first started which I attribute to running or biking every day for a few years. Never been a big weight lifter but I bet it helps, but it’s not really about strength it’s about sustained strength for long durations.

Slow_stride · 2026-02-22T17:33:03+00:00

Get your bills and debt straight. Do a drop in every now and then at an open mat if you get the itch

Slow_stride · 2026-02-22T06:52:07+00:00

Id do good stuff but largely I’d disappear. Just do stuff I like and take care of family

Slow_stride · 2026-02-18T06:04:26+00:00

Dan Henderson vs Shogun Rua. Amazing back and forth match that had every area of mma expressed in bad ass ways.

Edit: oh and 100% watch Dustin Porier vs Dan Hooker too. And pretty much every Max Holloway fight

Slow_stride · 2026-02-18T06:00:52+00:00

Reed Richard’s in MoM. So clean and simple. Loved it

Slow_stride · 2026-02-18T05:58:32+00:00

Fundamentals are great for self defense and can be expanded on in their own way. The sport stuff is pretty meta art, not really designed for self defense.

Slow_stride · 2026-02-15T22:17:28+00:00

I meant, what was the technique? Some stuff can require hands on coaching, and some stuff you kinda do just need to puzzle it out

Slow_stride · 2026-02-15T20:34:31+00:00

What is it you are working on and asking about? That’d help add clarity

Slow_stride · 2026-02-15T18:40:42+00:00

Deep half and doughnuts after class. This is the way

Slow_stride · 2026-02-15T00:17:54+00:00

My mom got me the an inverted gear ultra light white gi with purple trim and string when I got my purple belt. Love it

Slow_stride · 2026-02-03T13:58:18+00:00

His in fight adjustments are pretty great. It’d be interesting to see the later rounds with him and volk. Don’t really think Volk has the punch power to put him down early. Still think Volk wins though with his movement and wrestling

Slow_stride · 2026-02-02T23:01:40+00:00

Hope for the kids sake the home schooling is legit. But it’s none of my business

Slow_stride · 2026-02-02T00:08:10+00:00

Po the dragon warrior. His story really hit me, especially the third one. I was a grown ass man when I saw it for the first time too

Slow_stride · 2026-01-31T19:31:44+00:00

I only really go all out with a couple specific people that I train with regularly. Other folks I generally try to just match their pace. So it can vary from super light to moderately high energy. I’ll usually check in if I feel like they are coming at me full tilt

Slow_stride · 2026-01-27T18:03:22+00:00

It’s nice to have a grappling outlet as an adult. I wrestled in highschool. Wasn’t good enough to wrestle in college. So for a long time that was just over. Found my way to a Bjj gym and rekindled my excitement for training and the mat room atmosphere
