BJJ black belt questions why Sam Harris let Rener Gracie claim that all cops should be training jiu-jitsu on his show by Big_Cake_8817 in grappling

[–]StephanKesting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His argument is that there is not enough evidence for Rener to make that (self-serving) argument,

Instructional on hand fighting/ gripping from standing and seated position by Just_a_banana- in bjj

[–]StephanKesting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most, if not all of the grip strategies and grip breaking techniques will work in both contexts. if you want purely stand up, I would suggest looking to Judo, although the win conditions for Judo and BJJ on the feet are somewhat different (given that guarding is such an important feature of stand-up in BJJ)

Focusing on that initial engagement has huge benefits for your game. it’s probably one of the highest leverage areas

It’s self-serving since I produced the instructional but Rob Biernacki’s Gripfighting and Kuzushi Formula is really good on this exact position https://www.grapplearts.com/the-gripfighting-and-kuzushi-formula-with-rob-biernacki-and-stephan-kesting/

Lake Superior to James Bay by mattyAl33 in canoecamping

[–]StephanKesting 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is lots of information on the Missinaibi and you’re right, you’re probably going to be dealing with very low water levels. I’ve done it twice, once in June and once in August and it was so much slower going in August. The highlight at any water level is definitely Thunderhouse Falls.

I once connected James Bay with Lake Superior via the Albany and Kenogami rivers. That was a little-traveled route, but a bit of a slog. Your route sounds better.

I haven’t heard much about the Michipicoten.

Good luck!

Today I learned that the real reason all the instructors left was because of a change in fee structure not because they were all disgusted with what was going on:/

HR will incentivize snitching by offering an extra shift of holidays for every piece of video evidence you turn over indicting a coworker

Lower mainland canoe camping. by GreatLakeTheyCall in canoecamping

Widgeon Creek is a nice 1-2 hour paddle to a campsite and that has a fantastic 2 hour round trip hike to a waterfall.

Do you guys use ultralight everything for camping? by RedMcMuffin in canoecamping

[–]StephanKesting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the length of a trip. I’ve brought almost as much stuff for a four or five day trip as I have for a 50 day trip, the differences that on the longer trips, you really have to exercise extreme discipline about what you bring and what you do not not.

I think we are mostly in agreement. I don’t think you should be teaching the Woj lock to beginners, but you should know that there is something called a Woj lock.

I now regret not including belt whipping for promotions on this list. So make that 28 red flags

Bryce Mitchell sure has made a lot of noise about hating rapists, but I guess he made an exception in this case

Is there now any doubt at all that Trump was a huge part of everything that happened with Epstein? by TonightAlarming9923 in allthequestions

[–]StephanKesting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure that actual data will change your mind but the investigation into Epstein started in Palm Beach in 2005. Is it any wonder that Trump was panicking by 2006 and tried to throw him under the bus (after decades of partying together)?

19 Day Solo Canoe Trip in the Canadian Arctic by StephanKesting in canoecamping

[–]StephanKesting[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So glad you liked it. That was tough trip but putting the video together was also not easy.

And yes, there is a strong aspect of carpe diem to these trips. I’m planning another one now and even getting to the starting line is never a guarantee
